So less. Still, I find it possibly easier to focus target on one thing, than be swarmed with millions that could literally hide anywhere. Idk how aggressive these ants or how smart, but I can confirm kill on 1 huge one, idk if I got 15 million out of 20 and the 5 comes back for revenge when Iām asleep

I like Metroboards. They worked with me when my battery crapped out on me. I also like the design of these builds.
@BillGordon, time to start a āCostumerās Most Valuable Esk8 Manufacturerā tread. You gotta ask about the important aspects: Costumer Service; Quality; Bang for the Buck; Consumer Satisfaction, etc, etc, etc. You are the poet!

Strong is relative still,
A tarantula is a heavy lifter. I can attest this. I confronted one while climbing a cliff in my native country. Pinned down the animal to the ground with a small inverted Y branch. Mfcker was strong like you cannot believe. Little branch bent almost braking with this beast trying to uplift with all her strength. I realized then how strong this beast is. You feel her power. Thatās why they say if they were proportionally the size of a human they could lift a semi truck. Powerful animal.

Looks like there is not much space between gear case and tire. No worries that the tire will rub against the case at some point, like when landing after a jump?

Yeah itās close but there is no wobble so it should be fine, also Iām not the first with this setup. Between tire and bolt is 1mm space 
. Letās see if things get stuck, going for my first ride with 9" right now, so stoked

I have the thin, cheapo trampa bag. It is great for transportation and storage of the board without getting mud all over the car or apartment. But the cheap bag has pretty weak handles, I am afraid they will rip off soon

Well the 9" are really great but the Matrix II trucks tried to kill me several times. Each 2-3km the hangers get very loose and the kingpins need re-tightening. Furthermore I experienced the worst and most scary speed wobbles of my life and had many crashes today. Need to investigate further whatās happening but Iām quite disappointed with the trucks. Strange that the Matrix II trucks with same shockblocks run great on a different board, thatās weird.

I was thinking it would tend towards unintentional manual and other tricks!

Iām guessing this is because @Kug3lis did not want to ride around Japan with trucks that said āfat boyā on them, in fear that someone would confuse it with you know whatā¦
