My Esk8s. A journal of sorts

I did more work on the batteries this morning…
And actually got the 12s2P welded up.

It really blows my mind how people can make this stuff look neat and consistent…

Not me…

But still making progress. Only 900 to 1600 little steps to go…

And the air conditioner had to go up in the garage…


I enjoyed the time I got with the window open.
But it was pretty much like a summer sau here, and it got to 86 in the garage.

So the time came to start my futile fight against the elements…

Board feels awesome.
Looks clean.
It just needs to keep running now!!!

My daughter had a thing at school for me to go watch.

I decided to take the Dinghy since I was going to go wonder inside the building.

And I packed it up and all my gear in the back pack.

And I had a super fun time riding back home.

So stoked on this little guy.

This deck goes way back.

It was my first dual motor shorty rocket.

This is such a good version of it

The tiny Akashas keep you so close to the road. And I still have yet to break traction on them.

The front truck now being raked made it snappier. I think that is what I wanted.
Anyways feels good.

And it’s really nice to have a Z-mote in here now.

Tuese Matrix II Shredlights mounts that @ablairlamb designed are super sweet.

The ones I had always moved around.
These seem perfectly solid.

I need a variation for M3s asap.

Yeah I’m gonna have to get a set of m3 mounts as well. I might do some searching around to see if there’s a file I can use.

Really don’t wanna have to do other lights cause I’ve got a few sl1000s and some rare prototype ones that I actually wanna put to use

I’ve got some M3 mounts for my lighting but no one running them yet - my lights plug into the board tho.

Maybe I’ll consider making my mounts shredlight compatible but that seems counter intuitive lol

Counter intuitive?

Probably because he’s selling his own lights, wouldn’t make much sense to offer mounts for other lights

Yep.
Here we go…

Please tell him not to do this again. He actually hit the absolute limit, and was at the point of nosediving into the ground at 57.3km/h (35.6mph) with no gear. The nosedive happens at 95.0% and he hit 95.0% exactly. We’re just talking about rounding errors at that point. He was within a rounding error of becoming a meat crayon.

Not only would that hurt him, it would hurt his family, and it’s bad look for the entire PEV industry and scene.

Yesterday was a pretty cool day.
I sprinkled some rides during the day.

GT warm up in the morning.

I mostly rode switch.
I have the easiest time with that on the GT. But it’s still so far from riding normal.

Gravel Flux for school pick up.

Right after that I jumped on the Rally Cat.

So this set up with the Akashas is amazing, and I just wish everyone could experience something like this.

And it it also so sketchy…
No motor clearance…
I hit the motors all the time…

So as awesome as it is kids… Beware.

So after work the EUC kids came over and I got to try 2 different wheels. A V8F and a V11

And that shit is wildly different and so hard…

After tooling around in front of my house a while went and rode some trails.
I took the GT. But rode the 22S Onewheel and The V8F some.

Thanks @Ean.esk8 for hooking me up with bearings to get the Gravel Boi back on the road.

Now I have some work to do!!!

Did you figure out what killed the previous set of bearings? I thought the drives are somewhat water-proof.
