Nextboard still around? - safe grooveless hubmotor design

I totally lost money on that board. I lost more than I sold the board for LOL

Their drive system was absolute shit at the time. Everything melted. Everything blew up. I replaced everything twice.

Maybe you are thinking of that gundam blade I made. The only thing awesome about that board was the deck and detachable handle.

Yeah thats what i remebered that you lost your money and i remember you wanted that shit to throw out of the window. That was the reason i thought you didnt make it at least, but good to know now, YOU DID IT!
What did you do that it didnt melt at least twice?
And now when you know how to set this thing up right, and @Kaly loves that thing so much, why dont you keep on going with similar builds?

So was everything shit, including their inseparable thane? Guessing that only came after the Guinness WR? Unless it wasn’t that inseparable from the hubs @longhairedboy…

I did a 4WD TB DD build a few months ago on an Evo. Sent it to Australia to my favorite customer. 90KV, 110mm wheels, 12S6P 30Q, basically maxxed out settings. Its probably on his fucking wall though because i’m pretty sure he just puts my boards in his 50 car garage next to his bentlys and vintage Ferraris and he’s probably got a DMC D12 retromod in there, wouldn’t shock me. That’s how I imagine him anyway.

I think he might ride them, but I can’t be sure.

The guy that ordered it never got that fast on it. I mean he melted the phase leads with hard braking at a little over 30mph and shorted his motors.

NGV totally melted their thane though, that’s on youtube somewhere. Those guys don’t need brakes I guess.

Yeah looks really sick with the lights.
The whole shape is so funny and extraordinary.
Never saw something similar.
Get your sword board and you are prepared for the fight.

Sword board man

What a guy :slight_smile:
Going to Vegas with a broken board, taking my demo board without permission, crashing it, trying to go full throttle and when I catch up to the guy he is complaining that his helmet got scratch, man crazy.

The funny thing is he showed up there with only a full body leather suit as his only change of clothes, to the motherf$!@g desert.

What blew me off was him giving advise to a bunch of guys on how to build boards and his board was literally falling apart.

@longhairedboy
You like to push my buttons, I’m already mad :rage: just thinking about him.

Those are the good times.
All love :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: :slight_smile: :wink:

Long live the sword board :crossed_swords:

Lmao, and I thought you would really like it and maybe perhaps you were a customer for just another sword board :joy: :joy: :joy:
Didnt he sue you for getting that scratch on his helmet? hahahaha
That was a very evil move from Damon to trigger you like that and make me believe you are the “sword big fish board man”.
Peace Ernesto, try getting over it and say thank you again to Damon for getting this story back to you mind.

Man, sounds like a total nutjob - what was he on to have this level of self entitlement?

Man
Don’t get me started.

At the event in Paris the British crew gave me some of that e-weed, they warned me to take it easy that this shit is different, Me being me gave it around 5 or 6 puff and all was ok.

Once we got to a Moroccan restaurant the thing kicked in, no warning just I was ok next I’m HIGH as F@$K, every time I sat down the :chair: just break :man_shrugging:t4: in short ended braking 5 chairs, best service in the world, I would have kick me out after the second, at least @BigBen was embarrassed enough for both of us :slight_smile:

Now got to ride back to the hotel, no flashlight, ended up riding some back allies and a stretch of road with no street lights, I told my self this is the place where the French kill you and no one find you body, with only my cell phone lighting the way went almost full throttle and was lucky that this road had no holes :hole: otherwise would’ve need a denture set.

Made it back ok but that weed got me good, :sleeping: :zzz: until midday next day.

Between this midnight rolling and the previous day 3am cross Paris :tokyo_tower: Highway riding, I was starting to get a hang on this European thing.

Sounds epic and dicey at the same time. I will take as many of these stories as you’re willing to tell, brother.

Well… There was this time on the West Orange Trail when i tried to outrun a Parks and Rec crew on my board. They were in thier pickup truck driving down the bike path emtying the garbage cans per usual. Except today they were yelling at me to get my goddamned scooter off the bike path and electric scooters aren’t allowed, so i took Gerry’s Carvon prototype up to about 35 up a hill with them right on my ass. I knew about an exit from the trail into a local neighborhood, it was sort of a widish sidewalk that went between a couple of houses and dumped into a cul de sac. Naturally i did a little “heel toe” action with my thumb wheel, grabbed a side and carved hard right into what must have appeared to them as bushes and found myself on the path. I heard screaching as they slammed on thier brakes but i didn’t get to enjoy thier confusion because some dick weed left a limb in my path and i launched that Evo into the grass with a bit of the old tuck-n-roll.

The Carvon was fine, not even a scratch, but i got some nasty grass burn trying to keep the board from smashing into the giant fucking tree limb.

When i got up they were slamming the truck doors and looking around and asking each other where the fuck i went, so i exited via neighborhood and left them to wonder.
