Maybe that would be a good thing…
So I made a 1.8m long phase wire connector cable
Went on a longer ride, was kinda okay, wish I had a support for it because it was a bit too long and kept slipping out of my back-pack. Then I got too confident on the way home, and bombed a hill I usually do on this board. But wouldn’t you know – downhill those 20 motor amps can achieve a way higher speed than on flat! I was going between 35 and 40km/h I reckon, in a tuck pose. Realized “hey, these trucks are a bit too twitchy and I really need to hold my weight forward to not die right now. I should probably slow down”
So I let go of the throttle, and a split second later I was flying. Board instantly shot under my feet, I guess because of the sudden drag in one wheel. Board flew in a ditch unharmed it seems, I landed on my left side as usual. I was wearing only a helmet, because this was supposed to be a chill ride on a chill board.
Bloody pictures in this thread:
I’m not sure how I got by so lightly considering the crash was probably the biggest I’ve had so far. The phase wire cable unplugged nicely it seems, only damaged it a little while sliding. Long pants definitely saved my bottom side, and somehow my hands are pretty alright despite not wearing gloves. Arms hurt though, kinda stupid being injured when you have a knox urbane pro shirt hanging in your closet
