These types of videos are fantastic. It shows the different options available, even stuff that doesn't get sold by you, but it's building the brand reputation along with showing the community the ways to do things without royally screwing themselves (and not being able to buy aftermarket stuff). I love all your content. The trick tutorials, the follow me series, the scenic ride sessions, the lunch runs, rep your set, how to assemble, pod/vlogcast, and even the long form videos that are practically documentaries. Each brings a different element that either teaches about the sport in some fashion or just shows what is possible, with enough tries to get it. Also, the collabs with other creators are great, whether with Flux Mvmnt, Braile Riding, or Scot Mendenhall and Friends. The beanie baby mic holder might have been my favorite in the mix. Also, I love the baseball-inspired shirts. I didn't know you had those until this video. I scurried right over and picked up the Oakland inspired one, as I grew up a fan. Now that I live in Arizona, the shape of the A has changed, it leans more and is definitely more bitey, but I still catch the A's games when I can.

Great list! “Flat Kick” footpads were the solution for me, and killed two birds with one stone - I didn’t like how inflexible my foot positioning felt on the concave pads (let alone ghosting/activation issues, both of which I had pre- and post-recall, respectively). So, while after all that I was a bit bitter giving FM more money for yet another set of pads, I was ultimately glad I did!

I’d have thought that the v 3.0 would be doing what the surestart addition would; enable the single zone configuration and turn up the sensor re-engagement delay. Especially since these settings are applied to all profiles, not just the custom. But, I just got the GT and have experienced the finicky engagement as well, even with adjusting these settings. I was already thinking of adding a couple pieces of grip tape. Also hoping that some proper skate shoes may help a bit as I was in work boots the first time.

You mean Euro Posi, as in bridging two of the connector pins with a wire in the connector? Test your sensor by hand, you should be able to activate it by only holding down one zone (the lightbar should also light up fully blue, not just half). If this isn't the case, your wire may have broke or slipped out somehow

Pint X though - sensor doesn't pick up every launch. My GT has yet to miss one.

Took spills on tiny curb drops and flatland spins due to engagement cutoff & immediately bought front FM flat footpads (wish I could just get front from FM) which fixed all main issues (outside of need for posi, which should be an option (along w/ deactivation delay) in GT firmware update, just like simple stop) @onewheel
