You’re riding to the store for food and you’re riding home (doesn’t say you can’t skate the long way home)

Late to the party, but same run from my POV:

You’re a butcher Billy.

You have no idea how deep this comment will cut. Sean likes his ship… tight.

Yup, as a guy who definitely did not catch a wheel on a bridge span, fall backwards onto the deck, break the deck in dramatic fashion, and do it all within view of a quite pretty girl, I feel I have the right to stand in judgement of others.

If that was the day that I woke up to a broken phone due to being in a puddle of cat piss while I slept… I did really well for myself… :wink:

LiPo run last night. Check the voltage graph. :muscle:

LiFePO4 run this morning. Sags up hills. Okay overall.

7 Likes

Come to think of it, the LiFe’s should do much better as a high voltage setup, but then either gearing or motor kV should be adapted so you achieve the same overall speed.

The way you answer your own question scares me…and I like that.

Nice rides dude.

I talk to myself much more than other people. The arguments over life and death are the most entertaining from a 3rd person perspective. Don’t ask how I know.

Spent yesterday practising my off-road riding.

Decided best way to share was some quick clips of my successes and failures.

Practise makes better

Looks good, seems like you will soon get the hang of drifting on the grass, impressive! Might wanna consider getting/wearing some pads and maybe a full face helmet when u get more into serious off-roading the falls can be pretty nasty.

yeah for sure, At the moment most of this stuff is just low speed on grass.

Finding that drifting on dry grass is fairly easy, but as soon as that grass is slightly damp (like the last few clips above) the loss of grip is very non-linear. one moment you have it then its suddenly gone.

Looking good, the best bit is the stick getting kicked up at 0:48.
