He wears gear pretty much all the time, actually. Itās just hidden under his clothes. I guess it just looks nicer that way for filming purposes.
You can spot knee pads and back protection if you look closely. (:

I see those, but thatās pretty minimal considering he almost goes off cliffs. To be honest I did not spot the knee pro. I crashed at 35, though I think a car side swiped me, I had this
With a lazy rolling armored jacket with level 2 pads over it, and a full face helmet.
I had wrist pro as well as hip pads,knee /shin guards . I broke 5 ribs, my throttle thumb, got a concussion and a huge cyst on my hip

Obviously knowing how to crash is important, I am trying to change my gear to slide better Iāll be wearing leathers when I can and Iām not riding with others because I look stupid,I donāt care how I look but I donāt want to embarrass my new esk8 friends. , I have no memory of the accident, well I remember getting up and riding a half mile but the fireworks in my head said ā bro call an Uber ā and ālook at the red popping stars, prettyā
A member here recently told me wrist pro increases finger injuries, I guess that makes sense, but I have a badly damaged left wrist I WOULD NOT LIKE TO BREAK EVER AGAIN, chances are it would not be repairable if the plates that hold it together failed Or broke next to it. Iāve had my fingers touch my elbow (pretty close to,it)I canāt recommend it YMMV
Iāll be wearing this when Iām alone at night, no words on it except my name on my ass like a tramp stamp

If someone wants that helmet Iāll give it for shipping, you can actually see fine out of it. Iām full time in a snell rated MC helmet now
Itās as light as a TSG pass but obviously a bit bigger
Plus carbon fiber blocks radio waves, CARBON IS THE NEW TINFOIL HAT

Prob the biggest phase wires Ive ever seen so far 
not sure what you mean.
You do know the actual strands in a motor this size dont make up for alot of girth right?
But I do get the Inception of having 10 awg outside. Theyre def not 10awg inside 
Huh??
They look so skinny, unlike what we usually have on outrunner motors. Looks like 16awg or something.
I know nothing about the hummies, do they have thick strands or your average thickness but less overall?
Iām more concerned with the fact that there is no protection against rubbing on the sharp metal edgeā¦

Yes, we never had those cables. Our cables are custom 1036 strand Trampa branded.
For now itās a one-off thing. Already shipped to a owner , will see how they like it and how it behaves.

Yes, I tested it with vesc.
Encoders have actually been used in the past. Jens was using some on 80xx leopard motors a few years ago
As80 something, canāt remember
