Hi all, I’m a doctor and the last time I was on a skateboard was probably 20 yrs ago. I finally got some time due to COVID -19 to research about skateboarding and finally decided on buying the Verreal RS electric board. I wish I had come across this forum before I bought it though haha. Hopefully will get it soon so I can ride around the Lake in Chicago.
Any suggestions for gear or other advice will be appreciated!
Good to e-meet you all =)

Hi all, my name is Michael. I’ve been stalking .Builder forum and here for a while now, figured I should say hi. Currently owned a backfire G2T with ranger battery in a ranger deck / exway x1 pro riot (with cloudwheels…I know about the core issue and wheel bite). Planning on sticking together an awd board with off the shelf parts to see how it performs. (Still waiting for bunch of stuff to go with my Torqueboards DD, so that’s gonna be in the long run). Hmm, I guess that’s all I can say about myself atm. Nice to meet u guys!
PS sorry for the block of text.

That has to be worth a kidney at least.
@kpimmel - get clear terms in place. make sure that vig he’s charging has an explicit end date - from the little bit i know of @Dareno the boy plays dumb but its a ruse to distract you…

What’s up y’all, my name’s August! I’m a bartender in North Carolina. There’s tons of hills where I live which is dope for downhill but not so dope for commuting via longboard, which is why I’m trying to get my first build together. The plan right now is a modest 12s4p dual 6374 board, but would like to get into the raceboard side of things eventually. Long time lurker on the other forum, but have since migrated like the rest.
Glad to be here!

Welcome, man. Nothing modest about a 12s4p dual 6374. Please note: no matter what he says, it’s not mandatory to buy “esk8 insurance” from @zach
