Around this time our YouTube channel started to pick up steam with brands wanting us to review products. Here are some of the boards and reviews we got to do early on. Ive always strived to keep our review completely honest and have had brands turn me down when Ive told them that. I just make videos for fun, not trying to make a career out of it lol.
Miles Phantom - Cool deck shape in my opinion, direct drives were fun and powerful enough for shorty I think. Didn’t get to keep this, just a loaner for the review.
Possway T2 - Decent entry level board for someone to dip a toe into eskate.
Ended up redecking this into a skate shred shorty that I did a pour over paint job on. Road it for a while like this. Then ended up giving the setup to my brother to ride.
Enskate then hit me up to review the R3 Mini. This was a really fun board. Super light weight, felt almost like regular skateboard. Low range but thats the trade off here for sure. You can see my spruce moose and redecked possway in the background during this review.
Then Miles hit me up again to review their latest board, the sex panther. This one I got to keep. Really fun board on DKPs. I road this for a few hundred miles. It ended up being the board I gave to a good friend to get him off a onewheel and into eskate. He put another 1000 miles on it and its still going now as his backup board.
Possway V4 - This board is a perfect kid board. Lightweight, not super powerful, low price and the trucks are really narrow. It was stupid fun to carve around on honestly. Since the trucks were so narrow it gave a 70’s skateboard vibe while riding it.
Varla then contacted us to review their eagle one dual motor scooter. This thing was insanity lol. Ended up being what Aimee (my wife) road primarily for over a year. Crazy power.
I had been talking to Joe for over a year about reviewing the new Trotter T3. I was excited to see a competitor to onewheel. In my opinion its just not refined enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tS7h7ma0xY
Varla contacted us again to review their newest scooter, the pegasus. More of a city riding scooter. It had some cool features but overall I still preferred the eagle one.
BKB launched the TYPE R. I was pumped. I had a great experience with BKB in the past so decided Id buy this. They offered a discount in exchange for the review. This thing answered a ton of the issues with the original Duo. Great board.
Possway T3 - Cool hub motor board. Much easier on your feet with the larger wheels. Ended up as my brother’s daily driver to work. He’s put I believe around 700 miles on it.
I got to go to ESK8CON 2022 and had a ridiculously fun time. Here’s a lap on the track.
And here is my full breakdown of the event
