Actually if you’re talking about the gtr I think they chose the right cells. Those motors were too small anyway to take more power, than those 35e cells could deliver. It was never meant to be a powerful board.

The GT board just had bad pouch cells yeah

35E cells were absolutely chosen because they had a higher watt*hour rating on paper.

Evolve is all about inflating range advertising to ludicrous and unreachable levels.

I wouldnt trust a TSG to save my cranium above 65kmh crashing into asphalt/guard rails, I can trust my icon airflite to do just fine at those speeds. Some are well served by the pass, but its not the universal solution for everything skate.

slow down 'bartner :rofl:

my top speed on a board was 53km/h and that was for a split second, I cruise around 40

Go faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death - sonic? idk I never played the game

Yeesh this happens to me right around that 50kmh mark

I love the adrenaline rush and came from downhill longboarding so the feelings not completely foreign. Although the skill is not 1:1 transferrable, practice makes perfect.

TSG pass was made for this though? A bunch of pro DH boarders wear them.

I wouldnt wear it at speeds above 50kmh, you can do what you want. Not enough EPS foam for my liking.

I have an Icon Airform, after owning a TSG Pass and falling at high speed in both helmets the Icon is a world of difference. much nicer landing, holds up to the road much better and is all-in-all just a more protective helmet.

I guess if you ride pretty chill and rarely bail then a TSG is fine, but if you’re doing risky shit or pushing limits I don’t think any level of protection is ever “too much”

just don’t fall…jk

Couldnt have said it better myself, why get a helmet designed for high speed skateboarding when you can have a helmet designed for high speed motorcycling and by extension much more headroom when it comes to maximum impact energy.

Giro Switchblade 4 lyfe yo

Pretty sure this is @Lee_Wright’s go-to as well, when he’s not cosplaying a Stormtrooper.

I don’t ride at those speeds almost ever unless I’m skiing, and in that case I’m wearing a FIS certified POC racing helmet with mips
