okie dokie.
this weekend I did some work on the Loaner 2.0.
And today I got it all put together.
This is a deck swap plus for the OG Loaner.
Going from the Paragigm to the Demonseed.
I also put in a Unity and and took out the Flipsky 6.6 Dual Plus.
and I found some riptide bushings for it.
I rode it a tiny bit earlier and it seemed great.
My neighbor Benji has had the Loaner and has been riding it quite a bit.
and we have gone on a few rides together which is awesome…
the other night we were six miles into a ride and her went off a curb…
and the power button flew off…
we
found it and kept riding.
then the remote was freaking out so Benji had to Uber it…
turns out yet again the little wire for the remote receiver broke from the PCB …
so the Flipsky had to go.
I almost ordered a new Zenith for it… until it dawned on me I have 3 boards with Unities that are down…
so it was time to harvest parts…
in the spirit of my shit always breaking one of the more recent victims is the Rayne Crush.
which I had just put together again and was looking really nice…
but I think I have lost a P group in the battery.
fucking fuck.
so I took the Unity from it…
another sign of by gone times… I took the hex griptape off the Demonseed and slapped some Lucid on there…
this Demonseed was just set up as a push board… so I decided this was a better use of it.
Slapping parts together went ok…
nothing has broken yet…
I really enjoyed the way it was feeling on a short ride up the block…
I need to ride it some more.
but I’m pretty sure Benji is gonna be stoked.
The Demonseed has a good 1.5 to 2 inch more standing platform.
and the Unity seems way smoother than the Flipsky…
