Didn’t want to reply to this. Clocked at 57mph analog, 51mph esk8. It’s somewhere in my logs, don’t care to prove it. I’ve decided to cap out around 45 max these days, and mostly 35 and under.

All joking aside, i rarely exceed 25. 30 is my max, its not impressive. Most of the time i keep it around 20.

My son on the other hand took our Thorium X4 up to 41 on abecs.

42 km/h (26 mph) that was my 33ā€ board on a downhill, and also 42 on the Hummie build

I keept all my boards limited to 33 to 38, so that speed was pure gravity powered

Not a speed fan, and never pushed the hummie deck, also my gearing is fairly aggressive, so even without the limit the wouldn’t go much faster

Doubt I’ve broken 20 MPH on Eskate.

But I’ve broken 40 on my old board like… probably 8 years ago.
Some people find that addicting, but I was fine leaving it at that.

Luge I’m much more comfortable going fast on, thats just plain fun. You hit 25 on runs where standing you’d only be going 15 or less. If I had leathers I might be inclined to push past 40 on that even today.
But luge isn’t something I routinely pull out, maybe 3-4 times a year.
The luge I ride has broken 100, but not by me.

Edit:
I’d take luge out a TON more if I made it electric. They’re already doomed to be heavy and awkward.
and powering it would provide a way to get it up the hill, as well as a way to brake without literally burning through a pair of shoes.

Thats me now. The evo originally did 40 plus. I clocked it on the gps on a slight downhill with a run up at 46mph. Since geared it down to 35 max. I can not help myself so took the temptation away. Also mostly I ride in a pair of speedos to catch rays while I skate and scars are so 2015.

I have the lamest answer ever. I got a new phone and didnt carry over the metr Tele. Working all day today to finish board and go fast. :grimacing::man_shrugging:

I’ve clocked 43mph on my EUCand 44mph on my eskate. With DKPS :wink: I would love to push nore on my EUC but scared of overpushing it and my trucks are too loose to push past 40mph on my board

What parts you using?

I ride very casually, generally average like 18mph. I don’t ride to get anywhere and I’m mostly alone and don’t feel the need to impress any of my peers.

However, when I first built my hummie I rode it for a month on 107s and it was great, could really judge my speed from the feedback of the road. Then I put pneumatics on it and went out for my first ride, it was like floating on a cloud. Only when I stopped to get a drink did I realise I’d clocked 32mph going up a hill. It felt like 20!

I switch between thane and rubber all the time and I love the feeling of the thane and want to use it all the time but it’s certainly less practical than air.

That’s been my experience too. Since i droped the e-calls and boas for the haggy drive system on kahuas and bergs its been generally a lot faster when i do decide to push my comfort envelope

25mph, because that’s what my build is geared to and easily achieves? I don’t have long distances to go, so no real need for speed. I like my acceleration though!

Oh, and no metr logs because I have stupid ESCs, and no GPS proof, because I prefer not operating other equipment in the same RF band when esk8ing.

Still worth it, for just a second you get to fly

You know if you kept your finger on the throttle, maybe a remount would have been possible?
