The Great 2000km+ Esk8 Adventure Into The Arctic Circle

I’m planning on doing light Vlogging (start of day - end of day and if something relevant/interesting happens during the day), not gonna stream the whole trip or gonna lug extra camera gear, probably just my phone and maybe a lavalier mic and a wireless audio transmitter, so I can put the mic into my helmet and record on my phone with good audio. I have done some mic tests and if I’m gonna record while riding I need to get the mic into the helmet with good windproofing or the audio is otherwise unusable.

I think 2 weeks is a realistic schedule. So the journey is gonna be at least 2200km there-n-back, so this would come to ~160km (~100mi) a day on average.

They will be 3D-printed just like my rims for the 8" tires are currently. There is a thread I’ve been running about 3D-printing rims and I’m gonna be posting updates on there about the bigger rims for the 10" tires.

This design is currently looking to be the actual one I’m gonna be using. Everything fits and everything clears everything else, so they fit. Wheel bite shouldn’t also be an issue based on my testing.



I think I have seen some videos about skatepacking on YT, but haven’t delved deeper into them, but I think I’ll check couple of his videos out. He might have some good tips that I haven’t thought about.
