[@danieleng8545]

Wow what a beautiful city to ride in I want to visit there sometime happy riding mates!

[@WagsOutback]

Yep its certainly is Cairns, Far North Queensland. Lived there for over 10 years but have left now, life is too short to just live in one beautiful place.

[@danieleng8545]

rotorpix Yeah I feel what your saying! hope all is well where you live now!

[@Jetskicentral]

Great video and fantastic location! Just ordered the bamboo Gt street with the AT wheels two in one combo can't wait to get my hands on her !!

[@WagsOutback]

Congrats, yeh the AT wheels really open up as to where you can ride.

[@HugoNobay]

I'm headed up to cairns this Christmas and hope to take my evolve board with me!

[@WagsOutback]

look us up, don't think you will be able to get it on the plane though because of the lipo's.

[@TheReal666]

Great video. I just got my bamboo GT this week. It's an amazing ride

[@WagsOutback]

Cheers, Nice, where is your location. ...yes they have done a great job on the new GT board. Need to upgrade mine now.

[@TheReal666]

I'm in New York

[@WagsOutback]

O wow, that's great you can get the boards over there.

[@Bangs_Theory]

What's it like riding in the streets of New York?

[@bournejsn]

[@copyrightfreetunes4900]

***** I'm in Sydney, been raining the past two days. Only road it once :)

[@TheMaoTao]

enjoy your board! they are amazing 😊 hope that rain goes away so you can get out and rip it 👍

[@pahoaproductions9991]

Great video man!! Can't wait to be riding mine!!

[@WagsOutback]

Sweet, you are going to love it, they are such a cool way to get around on.

[@madsmax9273]

nice form on the fall :) chill place you guys ride at. some dogs flip some do not.

[@WagsOutback]

Yes, Tim executed that fall perfectly :-)

[@FeverCentral]

Nice video

[@WagsOutback]

Thank you..

[@Vastfill]

Absolutely beautiful! Have you tried the Stary board?

[@WagsOutback]

No we have not. Have to look it up.

[@Ohem1]

When accelerating I can definitely relate to people reacting, when I went 38-ish km/h on a long empty bicycle lane and a bus drove past me and boy did students inside look at me through the windows. I mean here I was just driven past by a bus almost keeping up with the same speed as me, on a board.

[@kadwhen]

whats the song used at 8:32?

[@zayi8153]

good on yah tim

[@KwasDriftTenGoku]

nice ride guys . Glad Tim didnt get too hurt. Do you guys know roughly how long you rode for? what was battery life like?

[@Pinmarcus]

Hey mate, I got my bamboo gt the other day and I have to say that the range is more than enough.

[@TheMaoTao]

Hi mate yeah concrete would have had a different outcome but the boardwalk was surprisingly soft lol The range is plenty you will run out of path before you are resticted too much by your battery life, although there is are significant differences between a street wheel and the all terrain setup. I had a little cruise the other day where i covered 12 km and my batt level was sitting around 54-58% which surprised me, just depends on how you ride and the conditions i guess 😊👍

[@Vastfill]

How do you go about cleaning the board after a ride? Great video!

[@WagsOutback]

At the start I use to clean it after a ride, but now not so much :-)

[@TKDking44]

We're is that place looks very beautiful with the beach the islands??

[@TheMaoTao]

Cairns, Far North Queensland, Australia :)

[@sergemichaux8324]

Love both gt videos. I m ordering one this week. AT or street?

[@WagsOutback]

Congrats...Street is nice but AT lets you go so many more places.

[@sergemichaux8324]

Thank you!

[@themonkeymafia1443]

my bamboo GT is soo fun to ride on the gold coast I am almost out everyday

[@cookyy5849]

And now?

[@mikesterloc]

Looks like loads of fun!! Do you edit video yourself?? Well done

[@WagsOutback]

Cheers, yes the boards are great fun. I use EDIUS Workgroup 8 to edit the clips.

[@mikesterloc]

Hoping to pick one up when the weather here warms up. Subscribed!! Ride safe

[@WagsOutback]

Nice....they are a great board, get the AT wheels too as it just lets you go so many places.

[@Jusner]

Where the f§$k do you guys live? That view is amazing..

[@WagsOutback]

Tropical Cairns. Far North Queensland, Australia. Summer all year round here..

[@jonienglish3231]

how long was the ride ??? i find riding over a hr my legs go to sleep !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@odlanorirom]

I gotta have one of those new gt...

[@WagsOutback]

Yes so do I :-)

[@한승범-w1d]

Hi I live in Palmcove I have BambooGt as well. I wanna join the riding with you guys^^

[@WagsOutback]

Nice man, Tim thinks he has seen you riding around there. Yeh hook up for sure. I got a little FB group here. facebook.com/groups/Rotorpix/

[@TheMaoTao]

Hi Han nice to meet you today mate, we will go for a ride real soon 👍

[@gbarb18]

Did the GT come with those lights?

[@WagsOutback]

no, the leds are extra, get them from Evolve. The are really good though.

[@BM24DK]

That fall! Hope he is A-okay! :)

[@WagsOutback]

yep Tim is all fine, he nailed that fall perfect.

[@TheMaoTao]

feelin the love! cheers 😊

[@felixsie5147]

Hey dude , how did you get this great board ???It's so expensive!!!

[@WagsOutback]

Agreed, not cheap but that's what they cost. Start saving my friend.

[@NoShadowOfDoubt1]

Did Tim's board come with these lights front and back?

[@TheMaoTao]

Hi, no i ordered these SERFAS branded lights seperatly through Evolve around 50 each i think 😊👍

[@Mr.B.man.]

Is that the thunderbolt combo pack lights you have?

[@WagsOutback]

Lights are from the Evolve website.

[@quinones355]

does this have grip tape?

[@andreasmayer8261]

Can you pls poste a link of the rear light and how u mounted it? Thx

[@WagsOutback]

Will make a little video next couple days.

[@jonobro1993]

have you even gotten in trouble with the law? I'm interested in getting a board but i've head that in NSW, they're illegal, especially on roads.

[@WagsOutback]

Nope, had the boys give me a blast of the siren and wave once though. Queensland, any footpath, bike path an road with no diving line thats under 60kmph speed limit. You can cross any road too.

[@skiboyscuba]

Have you had any issues with theses bards??

[@WagsOutback]

No yet, I did fry my electronics riding after a heavy rain though. $180 to fix.

[@eldonwong9993]

rotorpix did u pay evolve to fix it? Or where did u fix it

[@andremeyer7491]

sweet riding. So jelous of Tim moving to Qld from cold Vic

[@WagsOutback]

Yeh man, he watched my vids and then sold up and moved here with his little family. :-)

[@TheMaoTao]

yeah mate it is just too damn cold down south 😁

[@yanzodadon]

how many km did you guys end up riding?

[@WagsOutback]

we did not keep track, but will next time we do a run.

[@RickyJulia]

Have you compared vs Onewheel +?

[@WagsOutback]

NO I have not.

[@codyp5260]

How fast does the bamboo GT go in GT mode

[@WagsOutback]

40kmph, fall off at that speed and you will be bleeding for sure.

[@calrc123]

What kind of lights are on the other board and where can I buy them?

[@WagsOutback]

They are LEDS and they can be found on the Evolve website.

[@davidstravels8019]

What are the LEDs he put on his GT called?

[@WagsOutback]

HI, we have these www.evolveskateboards.com.au/collections/accessories/products/serfas-trident-usb-led-front-light

[@Major_Badger]

Whats the max weight on these im a bit on the chunky side a bit heavier when im carrying thinngs for work

[@WagsOutback]

More weight means it would chew the bat down faster. Its got lots of power so would handle heavy weights pretty easy I would say.

[@odlanorirom]

..whats the dimension of the bamboo gt 2nd gen?

[@WagsOutback]

Have a look at Evolves web site.

[@genwashere]

Hey dude, I have a little budget to buy a GT but do not now if spent it in that, maybe on travelling or saving it? What would you do? Thanks mate

[@WagsOutback]

Life is short mate, do what makes you tick :-) ...The GT board is very good.

[@sendmedem]

near end of video u say has 30kms range if you take it easy. is that on the old board? does the new GT actually do 50km range on street wheels?

[@WagsOutback]

If you ride them easy then yes you can get that range with the street wheels on. Ride full power up hills and they will go flat very fast. We did a run with the AT wheels on both and they went flat around the same distance.

[@tubzattwood3915]

Hi would you say the brakes are good and reliable? Because I've heard mixed reviews about the brakes Thanks

[@WagsOutback]

GT brakes are great, they can through you off the board if you are not too careful.

[@DirectorDavoPaul]

Grab a new motore for your Gen 2, so it'll never die! I have one ready to go if mine ever decides to end it all, lol

[@WagsOutback]

Good move, I guess they will last some time though.

[@warlockboyburns]

I bet the wood decking is pretty slippy

[@WagsOutback]

Nope its pretty good.

[@HORRUS29]

I just got my gt carbon AT. It has been 18 years since I last rode a board. I have a question and hopefully someone can help me. On my first ride my feet and legs were hurting me pretty bad. It almost feels like arm pump when you ride a dirt bike for awhile. Is this normal since I've not been on a board for so long?

[@TheMaoTao]

Hi mate, yeah i was in the same boat as you plenty of riding when i was a kid but just recently once i started riding these bad boys out come the aches and pains lol i guess its just the norm once you start to use muscles you dont normally use, i found most of the aches went away after a couple of weeks of good riding mostly in the calfs, and across the bottom of my back foot felt almost like a cramping feeling but its a good excuse to just keep riding!!! 😆

[@HORRUS29]

Thank you very much. I was hoping that it would go away after building those muscles back up

[@AnryBasket]

nice

[@JMX246]

One motor seems higher than the other - nice board though

[@AGeekyGuy]

Have you looked at the ZBoard 2? So much more fun not having to hold a remote/controller! I have a few videos on my channel kzbin.info.

[@WagsOutback]

HI, looks like a neat way to control the board. I think controlling a GT board like that would be scary. One finger control would more dexterous I would think..

[@AGeekyGuy]

I have tried a board with a remote after trying the ZBoard 2, I had a much easier time using the foot controls, it felt more natural. Plus same top speeds, goes greater distance, takes less time to charge, and lighter.

[@WagsOutback]

Its' an Interesting board indeed. The new GT has a top speed of 26 mph/ 42kmph. Twin motors give it crazy torque and active breaking with no torque twist. I will be updating my single motor board to one for sure. Wait to you see what crazy inclines the GT can go up. We will shoot a video of the hill next few days. My single motor one would have no chance.

[@AGeekyGuy]

I see the latest CF board that looks sweet but at $2k it's just a bit pricey!

[@WagsOutback]

Yeh, not cheap but you are getting a very good product. Wait to you see the hill we rode it up. its sick..

[@jonatan617]

Once you wear it out can you plz just send to me! I wouldn't mind an old electric board ... Just saying worth the try 😂 nice video

[@WagsOutback]

ha ha, maybe we can run a contest for it :-)

[@jonatan617]

Come on I asked you first hahahahahaha 😏😏😏😏😏

[@WagsOutback]

Ha ha, start saving up my friend and get a GT board.

[@myyotube8497]

A contest would be fun.

[@WagsOutback]

Hi world, here is our video with the All Terrain wheels on kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKOrqIGjhrKYlbs

[@helms1453]

Check out @bostonvlogs , if u gonna be quicker and better that me, then is chance to be a evolve electric skateboard owner....this is not a advert im just saying.

[@vincentim54]

So you never carve with it... this board has been made for that and you can't enjoy it 100% if you don t carve. Show people please.

[@WagsOutback]

No, we got them just for cruising around on and stopping at the bars.

[@jvbernardes1]

Boosted Board so much Power

[@WagsOutback]

I think the GT would give the boosted board a run for its money..
