And I just bought one used today, hopefully 3rd party companies still make parts 😂

lol not anymore!

[@supermanslife4247]

When you’re watching this video but you already have a boosted board and wanted to see if you have the best one. Love you Sam.

[@amsinaph0509]

I’ve had my Stealth for right about a year now and I’ve loved every second of it! As a college student at Purdue, it’s perfect for commuting to campus and riding from class to class. Plus, group rides with the local E-Sk8 community are also always a blast

[@wcovey25]

I’ve been watching sam for so many years I remember his live streams on the boosted board

[@samsheffer]

it's been so long

[@wcovey25]

Sam Sheffer you should bring those live rides back they were lit

[@wcovey25]

Sam Sheffer I build a esk8 because of you, 12s 6374 3250w motor, top speed of 32mph!!

[@micahbragg7993]

I live on the Upper East Side and use the X for transport everywhere including daily commute. I realize Sam has gotten comfortable on the longboards but I would never give up the fun of the mini's ride and tic-tac ability, its MUCH more portable size (I have a board bag that it fits well within), and of course its far more stylish look (that's important too)! Its the board to be most proud of owning. Yeah, it's not as good at potholes but you really can take them on with a little bit of confidence and skill. I had no skateboarding experience before moving to nyc, buying a $20 skateboard to practice, and then buying the X. The smaller skateboard is by far the more interesting and exciting product.

[@alexshi9320]

I feel like knowing how to kick push and also foot brake (many people dont realize you need to press down very softly then apply pressure to brake) is super useful to have.

[@chrisreimer]

Sam videos = always an easy watch. Which I really appreciate.

[@TOAAWASHERE]

The most helpful boosted board video ever! Thank you Sam!

[@samsheffer]

my pleasure

[@giannitromba]

oh yeah...now it's super helpful... haha, i hope they come back stronger :/

[@thehoultfamily7151]

I am so glad that I watched this before buying because the whole video pretty much I agreed with it 👍🏻

Jason Darr look so stupid !

[@samsheffer]

u know it

[@specimenx2571]

Bought a boosted stealth today thanks to this video - keep up the great work!

[@erikincph]

Why buy Boosted in the first place when you can get same or better performance for half the price..Exway, Wowgo ...

[@blacktrout]

Same as apple products

[@ajplant96]

erikincph Exway are killing it, especially having the waterproofing rating that they do. If I wasn’t all about Evolve (I know, another premium priced board - convenient to own when you live within an hour of the Australian HQ and don’t have the additional taxes living in any other country), I’d definitely choose Exway as my every day board.

[@benengelbert915]

He is so biased towards boosted

[@benengelbert915]

Shiv kap meepo and exway I’ve great customer service too but I guess some brands don’t

[@vinnyf6635]

Stealth is a nice board but the range on them is horrible. I will take an evolve GTR and Meepo NLS on range anyday.

[@anthonyconfessore6355]

always enjoy when you post detailed vids. thank you!

[@Collin_Cornwell]

My favorite four wheeler I have ever ridden. 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@nicklasalejandro6846]

Great video Sam, I have been waiting for this video. I am so close to buy a Boosted board, but the prices here in Denmark / Copenhagen are just ridiculous + the VAT.

[@electricdreamzzz]

Nice timing. Release a video on which boosted board to buy and now they have laid off all their staff and have been bought out.

[@Dino-pb5mt]

I bought a Milesboard Rampage since where I live I have very bumpy roads and big airless tires where my go to. Love it 😁.

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Which boosted board should I buy? The one I can afford ; (

[@joshinwithu]

get a wowgo 3x or a exway flex instead

[@jrockn1]

Thank you for the reviews. None should waste money on tech 2+ years old that hasn’t changed price.

[@StefanKoefoed]

Looking forward to see how the reception of Exway Flex will be when it's released. It got potential to beat Boosted Boards.

[@sonicr360]

Boosted have got shot of their staff, you cannot buy spares and it is looking like the company could be in big trouble. I own the V2 and more than happy with this.

[@teganolderbak3202]

I bought a used v2 boosted board on EBay and perfectly fine

[@91_C4_FL]

Best comparison video I've seen. Just wish I lived somewhere I could use a Boosted for commuting.

[@johnmartins0522]

Was looking for a boosted mini recently since I live on a college campus and wanted a smaller board for maneuverability. Found a brand new mini x (only 10 miles) with blue caguamas on it for 600 on facebook marketplace. Best purchase ever.

[@samsheffer]

wow that’s a steal

[@johnmartins0522]

Sam Sheffer ikr! Very happy with it so far

[@rumbanaji]

This is very useful cause I plan on going back to the city

[@Sibs]

I love boosted boards but unfortunately I work and live in a suburb that isn't very rideable. Still want to get one for fun though. Do you know if you could charge them in a Tesla?

[@ashtonhibbins9727]

I’ve been riding skateboards my whole life I love boosted boards I prefer the mini because the price and I love travelling with it

[@DzejkobsChannel]

well, this video didnt age well

Why not?

Yeah why?

U Fr got some of the best show game I’ve seen w the 1s

[@junebug9594]

I’ve been allowed on Dozens of flights and even a cruise ship with my Stealth! Never had an issue

[@Capottv]

Had a really difficult time deciding which to get as a student, eventually decided on the Mini X since I had to carry around class. I’d rather not be hitting kids with a 3 foot slab of wood like the stealth lol

[@PeterdenHartog]

This video wants me go ride my boosted board. Most of the time it just hangs out in my garage and I don't really find the need to go ride it but I should just go out on Sunday and enjoy a cruise.

[@garrettshowalter3761]

Nice video man!! gotta get one someday

[@spencz-]

Already have a boosted board. But I enjoy Sam :)

[@samsheffer]

:)

[@2dthoughts]

Love that beat up look of you Metallic blue Jordan 1s

[@gabrielmachadoyoutube]

awesome video, thanks

[@PeNa7a]

There are some many different electric skates in 2020 and statements that Boosted is the best in reliability and quality must be backed up by trying at least 5-10 top models from different brands - I don't see it in this video ... (just saying) - The video is not bad , but could've been a lot better ! Keep it up !

[@eddieb0I]

Enjoy your vids! Keep up the hard work! One day it’ll pay off!

[@gabrielnortje8352]

Where can I buy a boosted board?

[@xrzuuii]

thins is the video I need thx

[@sambenyon5]

It's a bummer to hear about Boosted laying people off in the news...mostly bc of the trade war. Nonetheless - great products and great video as usual, Sam

[@MichaelSuperbacker]

Hi Sam! How are you? Going “live” anytime soon?

[@ourcore]

I agree most people will want the longboard. Also, the Mini S and Plus are being discontinued

[@jd2rs]

For all your late night dominos cheesy bread runs, get the boosted stealth.

[@OHNO-k9l]

Hella indubitably!

[@anujyadav8423]

Hi Sam, I have rhe boosted v2 board but have lost its charger and remote, where do u think I can get these two given the company is shut down. I don't have a reliability with FB marketplace.

[@daiwesley6065]

Awesome review

[@ouss]

Is this your Boosted Cave?

[@samsheffer]

indeed

[@petesins4345]

Long board literally feels like surfing, super smooth

[@rvboyett]

At some point I'll pull the trigger on a stealth and be one of the oldest people riding a boosted board.

[@uziwakeupp]

Rick Boyett stealth is sold out due to the fact boosted is literally about to go bankrupt.

Great review!

[@joelguerra1129]

Hey Sam!! Thanks for the video!! AWESOME!! I have a question for you.. what do you think about DIY Boards!?

[@jaycoulter1396]

Can someone please help me I have never own a skate board but witch one should I get the mini s or mini x

[@swarupadhamale9197]

Actually u cant buy any of em now cause boosted has gone out of buisness but if its in ur budget u can buy the stealth for 1279$

[@shayaanadnan3746]

Hey, I currently own a Juiced Board Dual, and one day it just stopped working, I know for a fact it's not the battery problem the battery is working fine I've tested it. Its Either the Dual Motor Or The ESC. The Juice website is permanently closed down so i can't contact them or get apart from their website anyone knows where I could get replacement parts for this? or know how to fix it?

[@timphoto83ec]

How are they for carving? All of your shots show the board only going straight.

[@MarkIrwin02]

So i am interested in getting 1 for like going to the mall close by, 1 of the near by restaurants, or the movie theater vs taking my car or motorbike after buy 1. 1 way is about 1-2 miles. So avg 4 round trip but thats only going 1 place. Not going to multiple. I am not found of spending upwards of 2k for 1. So would would boosted be good choice or a better option for my use and then also guessing if boosted be the mini x be the right one for my use purpose of getting 1.

[@Marco_Saitama]

Forgetting the boards for a minute, your sense of style is on point, were you wearing mid Air Force 1s?

[@dutchdroneadventures]

Nice video! 😎😁 Awesome. I have a very cheap electric longboard but the range sucks and it is not so fast!

[@alinmustata]

which one is more reliable Boosted Board Stealth or Plus? I know the Stealth has some grinding motors problems.. how much is that motor after the warranty ends? thank you!

[@duydvng3357]

no, I don’t have interested nor the money. But I like to support your content anyway ✌🏻

[@zoharmalka6961]

I have the mini x love that thing maybe one day I’ll buy a stealth for the fun of it

[@michaelanthonytollan]

well, i really don't know what to get a boosted bord or a uni wheel? Which one is easier to use? i am 50 years of age but sporty haha

[@gemb0_0]

plz make a video about evolve and the difference between it and boosted

[@afc8299]

Hey dose the boosted plus bring an extended range battery or do you have to buy it separately

[@JacobLukasiewicz]

Next video: "Which Maserati should you buy? Everyday car buying guide." Seriously boosted boards are so expensive, I can barely afford good normal longboard.

[@gusespinel]

How tall is the guy wearing the camo joggers? Want to know because I want to compare his proportions to the boards. Thanks!

[@davidMax78]

A boosted scooter with a suprême fanny pack !😂😂😂

[@scotty7175]

Yo Sam I love your videos , could you do more stuff around your office? Like a vlog every now and then. But keep up the great videos “work harder”-sam’s clock

[@EverlastingEclipses]

*Classic Sammy video strikes back*

[@ColeBender]

Dude you gotta try a LaCroix board... I know you're partial to boosted but those machines will blow your mind.

[@sepehrbakhti2954]

Hi there, how can I get a boosted board in Italy and sweden or across europe?

[@dedearg]

Good review!

[@lz-c]

Would the benchwheel penny board also be a choice to consider instead of the mini xr?

[@geirmitskog694]

I have the mini X now, but recently I have been planning on buying the stealth. I am traveling abroad this whole summer and I'm going to need my board. So, this video has put me over and I am probably going to buy the stealth and the standard range batter so I can travel with it. If anyone wants a Mini X let me know I can give a great price for it.

[@coop257]

i’m about two years late but i’m interested 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️

[@jacobravanal1184]

aye i love when sam nerds out 😂😂

[@christophergennaro3712]

So I legit ordered a boosted mini S after watching this video. They had a 20% off for refurbished boards so I got one for $600. Well I thought I was going to get one. The $600, well $599 was taken out of my account. I received a confirmation email. That was the last communication I’ve had with Boosted. Do you have any contacts in the company other than what’s to be found on their website. I’ve exhausted all resources and I’m starting to think I’m never going to get my board or even my money back.

[@namasthelo]

do you recommend the boosted stealth or the dual bamboo v2 for the deck please?

[@ChocolateNuggy]

Are you open to trying out new (non-boosted) boards in the future? Did you ever try one of the "chinese knockoffs", or do you like the premium feeling for these sorts of products? What about Inboard?

[@ajplant96]

ChocolateNuggy He’s tried Evolve boards in the past, I think these days like Casey Neistat most of these NY vloggers have stakes in Boosted though. So direct undercutting brands are probably a huge no despite them being miles ahead (literally, bc they have more range, lmao).

[@MrEddieNunez]

NYC Eboarding sticker on the stealth 👀🙌🤙

[@deyshin]

Take is for what it's worth - I've been waiting to get RMA started for 1.5 weeks. After 2 email exchanges, confirmed that I wish to go forward, only to be ghosted. Not sure if the service is there anymore... :(

[@gooper9164]

Hey Sam, I just copped myself a used boosted mini x just 1 week ago. It's the most fun I've had in years. Right now I'm trying to decide wether I should sell the mini x and buy a used stealth. Someone was selling one for 700 bucks. I'm gonna be using the board mainly for cummuting to college, joyrides and shopping. What do you reckon. Sell mini x and get the used stealth or just stick with the mini x. Thanks in advance

[@samsheffer]

i'd opt for the stealth! the flexibility and comfort is much better than the x

[@Ryan-ts4iq]

Keep the mini tho dude. Two boards is the way to go,

[@Jay-zd1jz]

I’m planning to get a board but i have no experience on skate before but is it easy to learn on mini’s, because that’s my price range??

[@user-zy1ru5hj3n]

They’re practically out of business and you’ll have no warranty when your parts go bad

[@SuperSaiyaGinge]

I have one question. What about if you live in a city that isn't always flat level ground? For example, it's 3.4 miles to my job one way, and there is a 300ft difference as well. Can one of those boosted boards handle riding uphill for a while?

[@samsheffer]

yea but you'll drain the battery much quicker riding uphill - can def handle it though :) might wanna bring the charger with you

[@SuperSaiyaGinge]

@@samsheffer thanks. That's what I'd do anyway. I'll let it charge up again at work. I drive as well but I want to find a way of using it less during the week. I'm not asking exclusively for Boosted boards here. But are any weatherproof? Like if you were to use it when there's light rain?

[@khfdhhjjjhgcg5281]

Bro I m from India you voice awesome

[@BariProductions]

Hey Sam, I heard boosted boards are illegal in NYC. What's your take on it? I bought one anyway, have you run into any issues?

[@buknaked]

Mohammed Bari I’m not from NYC but the same logic applies in most areas in the world since it’s illegal in aus too: just don’t act like a dick ride slow through people and don’t draw attention. Police who have stopped me usually just want to have a go

[@_mattclassic]

long board is the move 🏄‍♂️

[@MrPomaceous]

How is it when going uphill? How steep can it go?

[@chazmo1968]

Did I miss actual range in miles? I can imagine on the extended range all depends on how you ride, how heavy/lite you are, hills, does it regen when braking?

[@carlossalazar972]

I own a stealth and weigh 155. Typically what I tell people is if you ride aggressively, you get 4-6 miles sometimes 7 if you're regen breaking a lot. If your riding conservatively expect anywhere between 12 and 15 miles. The inbetween section is what is Typically find myself in since I'm not always going max speed; on average I get 9 miles out of my board.

[@MichelPostma]

I have been looking forward to a comparison video like this for a long time! Thank you! I am very interested in getting a board for short trips, so I can cover larger distances when I don't have a bike at hand. I am a little bit uneasy though with airports (ever since seeing Casey lose his board in Australia). You mentioned about the standard battery being the only one that is allowed to go through, are there other things to keep in mind whilst travelling with a boosted?

[@samsheffer]

ive traveled with boosted a few times - just make sure you have a standard range battery and you'll likely be good to go - glad you enjoyed the video

[@MichelPostma]

@@samsheffer Awesome! Do you check them as special luggage or take them as carry on?

[@bradburgess1144]

I’m in NYC right now looking around and I’m moving here properly in a few months , what’s the best one for a moderately experienced skater for getting around the city ?

[@samsheffer]

Do you think Boosted will ever release a board with hub motors instead of belt? If not, what's been the best tailed short board with hub motor[s] in your experience? Thanks!

[@Doodyninja]

I don't think sam has tried most hub motor boards but the eskate consensus is that Backfire and Wowgo have the best hub motor short boards.

[@abstrktionLair]

@@Doodyninja thanks! I've heard of wowgo but haven't gotten the chance to look into them yet. how weather sealed are their batteries/motors?
