Archived: the OG noob question thread! 😀

I thought I’d drop a note in here, that unsensored is more reliable, because it’s less parts that can fail

Then you wouldn’t need those wires at all.

[ZachTetra]

Some of us like clean starts…we lazy AF and don’t wanna move at all

[Flasher]

I can’t kick push to get it started with bindings…therefore in my case, sensors are more reliable than my legs

[ZachTetra]

I mean it’s not necessarily hard to hip flick it into motion I’d you have a bit of mass

[Flasher]

@ZachTetra i dont. I weigh 114lbs coming out of the shower

[ZachTetra]

The fuck? I though you were 30s or something…I’m like really tired rn

[Flasher]

@ZachTetra I’m 29 but I’m made small. Makes me faster

[ZachTetra]

Lol why do you need such a beefy board if you’re built like a pencil?

[wafflejock]

More efficient too one day might go bald think of the aerodynamic benefits

[ZachTetra]

I think the proper move is to just remove your arms, all they do is hold you back

[Flasher]

Never said I was skinny. I’m very healthy and go to the gym 5x a week

[ZachTetra]

At 114lbs? Are you like super short?

[Flasher]

Yup 5’5
Edit: I think

[ZachTetra]

Lol, when you’re to short for rollercoasters so you make your own

[Venom121212]

4’6" is standard height for most extreme roller coasters.

5’4" whoop whoop you made it!

My Dad did not understand when i said you need to kickpush. He just tried to accelerate and then WAM… remote went flying, he almost broke his arm ( no sprain thankfully)

So yeah Brian, i think i will put the sensors back on

[Flasher]

Whichever way I see, I’m tall enough for anything but short enough for everything else my phone is slowing me down

[ZachTetra]

Normally I jump into my board, it’s almost always been enough to get it moving…if I’m holding it I kinda kick it into the ground (pneumatic wheels) so it has a bit of motion to start. I liked sensors more but it’s not so bad once you’re used to it

[wafflejock]

Part of that is a matter of limiting motor amps or possibly configuring the controller better so throttle isn’t so sensitive on the bottom end but part of that is lack of experience and yah kick push off helps not have the board immediately pushing out from under you if you are leaning back naturally (going to be bad anyway)

[PixelatedPolyeurthan]

Dad is 62 and 80kg. Very fit but i don’t think jumping on the board is the right thing for him…nor the board haha
