Fell off my board going 0 mph and got a TBI + brain bleed shit is no joke.
Glad you’re ok man, im guilty of the same thing. Im gonna learn this lesson from you 100%. I dont have a good half shell so when a ff helmet or full motorcycle helmet is too much i skip it sometimes. Ima get something
Yeah. The half shells are a great buy because once you have one the excuse not to wear anything (even when riding slow) due to inconvenience or weight fades and you just find yourself wearing it all the time. That’s also the only issue I have with my half shell. It’s so light and feels more casual than my TSG that I sometimes opt for it over the pass. Even when riding faster and the pass is almost certainly going to be better in any kind of serious accident.
I need these drives ASAP.

The parsec is now truly one of one, thanks everyone for making it an amazing trip (even though i wiped out more times than i can count )
Me and @Pecos is all packed up. First esk8con was a blast, was nice seeing everyone. Hopefully see yall soon at CarveSEA.
My friend John (who’s never ridden any kind of PEV really) was like “What’s this group ride like?” and I convinced him to grab a ride share bike and come along. His look of WTF here is amazing.
Short video of him in the middle of everyone during the ride : https://youtu.be/b4Zo5KKy5ts?si=zhL7OSnSwZH3cdUw
Shout-out to this dickhead for running me into a wall, ruining my final race (I was p1), damaging my MLR
Footage from @Shadowfax
Yeah, I have the same issue. Sometimes I wear my cheepo bike helmet when I really should be wearing my full-face face. I should probably get a better lightweight helmet.
Same guy nearly collided with me on the practice track today. Passed behind me assuming that I saw him and would yield my line
Hard to assume that track intelligence is something that everyone has ¯\(ツ)/¯
dope!! thanks bro, and congrats on the win
You slayed it out there man! Was super fun meeting new people.

@lidocaineus
@AdityaAurora, who also killed it out there making pro like a boss, and to the finals no less.
@Pecos
Have the final race results been posted yet anywhere? Looked like some pretty fierce competition this year.
No races for me, just hype and reping the banana @MichaelWA killed it for first race ever, as long as you don’t count Mercer island loop - dude has wings on that loop. If you make it to CarveSea there may be a special unofficial ride branch for those with the range and skills to pull it off. Technical + fast +big payoff= usually just locals and crazies
but we make exceptions
I tossed my last $20 worth of raffle tickets in the Sunday mix and got a set of 8” Novas and tubes! My carry-on bag now reeks of rubber.
Competition was extremely fierce this year. I guess they haven’t posted final results.

So the @poastoast drives sound awesome and perform just as well. I like 'em better than the SRBs because they still have that distinctive OG sound but WAY cleaner.
If you want to hear them, here’s a video from Saturday when I was tooling around on the demo track. I got to open them up more on the actual track but I didn’t have the cam with me, but you get the idea. They actually sound even better IRL because I had to high pass filter the audio pretty aggressively to kill the wind noise.
Bonus: at 0:36 you can see the esk8con foot race
I hope we get some decent video of the races. The finals were all pretty wild.
Wow. Im sold they sound sick.
I need to know when they become available.
