@Rob, wear a dang helmet! Even a low speed fall can do permanent damage.
The worst injury I’ve had on an injury I wasn’t going fast at all. Actually, I wasn’t even moving I accidentally spun the motor up while holding the board and it cut my stomach
But actually falling off a board, I fell off at 12ish unexpectedly and got a bunch of road rash/cuts. I came off at 28ish a couple months ago and I just stood back up and got on the board with no damage
sorry my tiny brained brother… my massive bean is medium at best when compressed…
AND… dude… have you ever been to the frontier? BAJA?
as an aside EUCs are fucking gay… not that there is anything wrong with that if that is your predilection… but…
as a tool… a utility tool… esk8s are almost fucking unusable in the frontier… but a light-weight 6-8 mile range light weight utility vehicle that can drive almost over anything seems to be a very useful tool to have in my arsenal…
Hey, I never said I rode one I thought you meant as an Esk8 substitute, not for Baja For Baja I would say onewheel, the wide wheel would help a ton… Plus they are fun
EUC’s can do basically the same as a one wheel. It’s not as light weight though, but that’s why you got a handle. It got much better specs. You can ride down stairs. I’d also go as far and say EUC’s are safer. EUC’s got a cutoff alarm that beeps like crazy when 80% of your power is being used. One wheels doesn’t have that.
One thing I really love about the one wheel though, is how indestructable it seems to be.
interesting question… I race bikes with less armor, but it is the operators decision… he’s fucking k00l as far as I’m concerned… but for me… a full moto helmet and a lazy-rolling hoody is enough for an esk8… if I’m going fiddy, and going to war… I have a full alpinestar set of leathers
d00d @malJohann and @legend27
I’m talking about 95.74% offroad at less than 20mph in BAJA… the frontier… a 3rd world country… I’m not giving up esk8… I’m adding a tool to my quiver…
EUC’s handle off road pretty well. And if you do some modifications such as new tire and pads it can become a tank. And why not have 3 times as much power for the same price?
I haven’t gived up on esk8 yet. Just haven’t ridden it since I got my euc
Ya really trying to live up to your name huh. Ya getting ready to move to the bay area or something? I think some guys on here got some baesk8 stickers for ya.
