People thinking I owe them a test ride because they asked some questions and “have ridden longboards before…” I really appreciate their interest in my 2 year creation but I’m not about to let random people steal/crash my board. Especially when they are at work, on the clock. Also, it’s not just because it’s an expensive piece of equipment - it’s freakin’ dangerous!
Like I said I really do appreciate the interest, it makes my day.
Crowdfunding a supposedly normal stocked Item and waiting for it 6 months and then discarding it once received and send it to someone else because “HONOR”…
The other day within 10 minutes of each other had an old lady scream at me “slow down you idiot” and an old man scream “get outta the way, your too slow”. I was in the bike lane doing the speed limit on both occasions.
When your doing 25-35mph on a 30mph limited street and some idiot thinks it’s smart to blow past you as close as they can and scream to scare you off your board…
When some car keeps trying to pass you just because you’re on a skateboard, despite the fact that you’re going over the posted speed limit. Then when they do pass you, you have to pass them because they are too slow… which really infuriates them.
People who look, they see you coming at them at 25mph (40km/h), you make eye contact, then they pull out in front of you, causing you hit emergency brakes and barely avoid a huge accident — and then they act like they aren’t the world’s biggest douche canoe and somehow it was your fault for being born.
Now, often during the eye contact moment when I know they are deciding “Should I go?” I shake my head “No”
