I recently upgraded from a Tynee Stinger to a Hoyt St Tabor. This thing feels insane to use! Speed mode 2 kicks ass compared to anything I’ve stepped on before. I was just at esk8con Last month! I barely remember my test rides with the Wraith boards now! It was between this and an Onsra and 1st impressions haven’t let me down. I wish I had a way to track how fast and far I travel with this board. The puck doesn’t Have a screen and DAVEGA X Are sold out of kits at the moment. Is there a particular esk8 app I haven’t come across yet to track top speed and distance per trip?
Also I need better gear before I even think of speed mode 3 for my commutes to and back from Trade School in 2 weeks. I need to buy protective gear for My shins, groin, stomach and torso but I’m lost on where to go for practical esk8 friendly stuff.
I love seeing folks be intelligent and proactive like this. As someone with a pinned hip, I can tell you the downsides of not wearing protective gear. I was just popping down to 7-11 at the time.
Also, congrats on getting one of the nicest boards in esk8!
My scar on the bottom on my bottom lip from full sending it at 19 Mph back when Isinwheel was the fastest board I had on a random street in Vegas last year so im uber paranoid about how a cool, fast cruise session can turn into a bad bail
This Hoyt feels awesome! This thing is fucking heavy though! I was so sick of the range anxiety from my Tynee and wanted to make sure I truly had a commute worthy board. 20 miles is a drop in the bucket to the Advertised 40-50. I need a tracker So I can find out what I wan get out of this battery! Sitting at 215 lbs.
if you have the money for it, motorcycle or downhill mtb helmet, a bionic jacket (plenty of companies make them, protects chest, back and elbows/forearms), leatt dual axis knee guards and gloves with palm sliders are my go to’s for safety gear. i’d recommend visiting cycle gear and trying different helmets and stuff on. they can also order things off their website and exchange them if they don’t fit.
This bionic jacket looks kickass! It’s starting to warmp-up here in Vegas so my old leather jacket isn’t gonna cut it for the next 4 months. I have a full face motorcycle helmet thats falling apart, I’m waiting on my Custom Made Gundam helmet to come in the mail later this week. Been rocking some Demon United snowboard wrist guards too. Make holding the Puck a little awkward but Im waiting on some custom Shells in the mail now
Stuck with Android, no Iphone for me unfortunately
I’ve used this or the relive app. Ride has an apple watch app which makes it great for getting live speed and stats on your wrist, just not sure about android support and all that
I bought the Bionice jacket and the Leatt Dual axis pads. Thanks for the help! Im doing what feels like 28 mph on the regular and thats only speed mode 2! I appreciate all the help guys
State of my Hoyt Tabor. The top of the left screw snapped off when I was unscrewing it to see if it needed adjusting…the Loctite worked TOO well on that screw. The top right screw won’t go in any further than that since it’s stripped. I unscrewed the bottom right screw and applied blue Loctite to it. I applied Red Loctite to the top right screw since it repeatedly kept coming out mid trip. It stripped when it had like 3 or 5 more turns before it would be in there all the way. I think I feel/hear the screw rub the inside of the aluminum pulley when I’m riding but I only rode it to work once since this development.
Will find out just how different/concerning this is Tomorrow when I make my trek for school. Thats the same route to work, plus even more distance so like 12 miles 1-way with various hills, construction metal sheets, bumpers and shit. Really don’t want to bite the bullet on getting a new motor mount or truck fromt Hoyt but DUDE , these small various screws around the bashguard and the four before you open the Belt tension kit have been aggravating to deal with. Like StarScream levels of annoying
I don’t recommend riding your board in this state. Those screws are the only thing holding the motor mount onto the truck, and you have now removed them. Your motor mount could easily come loose while riding, potentially resulting in a crash.
I strongly recommend not riding your board until you talk to hoyt and get this fixed. Email hoytskate@hoytskate.com immediately. Do not ride your board until those screws are fixed.
I love mine, glad you are happy with em.
