We got some slower guys in our group, rather stick with the actual DIY guys. They also took off when we where waiting on a few guys.
Before we even started the ride, he made it seem like he organized the whole thing and dictated when we started riding. Kinda pissed me off. Anyways, itās in the past and imma just stop

canāt really blame them for that. most group rides Iāve been on has the fast group lose the slower group. we meet somewhere later down the road. I do agree that Joe tends to make himself the leader in groups.

Go to the Costa Mesa to Huntington Beach one if you can. They have them for the next two Thursdays. Bring a Jacket return trip gets cold. And light definitely lights. Wear a psychotiller shirt or hat. One guy will totally think itās the best thing since slice bread.

They were just impatient and lil slefish. He doesnt mean slow as in riding, I ride faster than the evolve guys and redbaron rides a lot faster than meā¦ I told him give me 3-5 min put on helmet and gloves and we will bounce. I look up and they all had left. I never really feel the love when I bring my diy. I Didnt really care too much because we waited for red baron and his sick silver surfer to come through and had a great ride with the chair Esk8.

Been riding with non DIY people and DIY people. Definitely feel the disconnect between the two.

This is sorta the difference I feel likeā¦
Diy :
We ride for the love of the hobby and we know the challenges it took to get our machines running. This makes us more patient also because weāve spent hours tinkering in the boards we ride.
Prebuilt :
We ride for the love of the hobby but donāt know the challenges itās taken to get to where it is today. This makes us more impatient since for most of our boards we clicked buy and waited 2 weeks and rode. We just ride to be out there riding.
Thatās why I think they didnāt wait for you guysā¦ They just didnāt get how it takes that 5 minutes to get ready and have fun and ride fast. They just know itās gonna work and if there is a problem they call an Uber and email Evolve etc. and itās fixed the next week, no sweatā¦

Manā¦ they can have whatever excuse they want. I was raised a little different but I wouldnāt leave a person behind while they get their safety gear on. I get you want to ride but I want to liveā¦im done going on evolve rides. Just gonna do my own once or twice a month with the sd diy guys. Not gonna exclude anyone but definitely not doing too much to invite production boards. And if that means a 3 person group ride so be it!

Yeah, makes sense. Messed up that they left you guysā¦
Big yes on thisā¦ out of all the group rides, my favorite was Denver. All of them were great!!! Maybe itās that we all share more than just riding a board.

No boards that are working right now lol. But I will definitely try that once mine is running
Man gotta make it out to these now that I moved from the Bay Area. Gotta get off my ass and finish my board though.

There is a coastal bike path that goes north from the convention center along the bay all the way past the airport. Itās a fine ride, about 4-5 miles. No cross traffic. You can make the charge point somewhere in liberty station, Iāll try and scooe out some free plugs if I have time this week.
edit: Harbor island and Shelter Island are also really nice places to stop (perhaps a little too nice for āour typeā, lol), there are restaurants with amazing views of the downtown skyline from across the bay.
