Nice simple build. Ride the shit out of it as long as it works for you.

Looks like an all around decent budget build.
I would suggest keeping an eye on everything since it does look like a largely budget build.
Well put together! but the components might betray you

thats a truly classic set of parts though

[Gabegds2001]

I have had about three different versions of this board (Things like a cheap bms ,cheap esc, and cheap drivetrain parts.) And I must say I wish I spent more the first time! It would’ve saved me money in the long run.

How much $$$ did you spend roughly on this?

It’s him, going at a good clip, with NO HELMET.

Please don’t do this.
Everyone here is a friend. Wear a fucking helmet. It’s the fucking law.

I personally favor the Bell Super 3R. But if you are on a budget, I’ll happily buy you one of amazon and have it shipped to you. If that’s what it takes.

Community lead mandatory safety

Warning: This thread is going to be preachy. We’ve come a long way as a community in the last 12 months with regards to safety, for better or worse not many unsafe acts get past the esk8.news safety police these days and members who are not taking adequate precautions should expect to be challenged for two reasons. We don’t want to read another story about a member of our niche community in hospital or worse from an incident that could have been prevented or at least mitigated by the use of …

I started off in a protec classic. Then i hit 34mph on my last build and started thinking my face would be shredded at those speeds so I upgraded friday to a TSG Pass. [20190524_184008_HDR] . I wear landyatchz slide gloves too just refmove the left puck for my remote hand [20190331_110410]

Budget helmets....I know I know

I know protecting your brain is not where to skimp, but considering I wrongly do 25mph now without one, a budget helmet is better then none right? Let put a cap on it at $150, I already know the favorite is the pass helmet but it’s not in the cards for me. Looking for full face.

Wear a helmet. If you’re going to ride on the roads, especially at 29mph be responsible.

Pretty decent build, keep an eye on the components though, as budget parts are more likely to fail. (double reason to wear a helmet)

[Gabegds2001]

Thank you guys for worrying about me. I’ve got a helmet but my head is huge so it doesn’t fit well, I’ll try and find a new one that’s bigger!

[PrivacyDoctor]

Yeah, please do! If you can’t find one that fits both your head and wallet, I’ll be happy to help out!

People here are passionate about helmets because we’ve quite literally lost life and spent a collective many thousands of hours in recovery from being stupid in our little community here. Falling off your board isn’t just skill based, it wants to hurt you and it’s just a matter of time.

Keep safe my friend
