What grinds your esk8 gears?

I have 2 of these fucking kids on my street. Just last night one of the kids rode his balance bike into the back of my manual skateboard while I was slowly pushing it around and I about busted him. The mom looks like a literal toad too which makes me dislike them even more.

You guys are nice. Usually if I cannot avoid without crashing myself I just go straight for the kid instead, either he’s lucky and I’m quick enough to catch him halfway and go crash with him while protecting him, or plan B, we both go down :point_down:

Mind you what, in general they don’t come back in front of me anymore :joy:

If the child had no pain, then (s)he will do it again. The crash must involve some kind of bad thing for the child or they won’t learn to avoid crashing you in the future.

Didn’t know, so they’re only for Bergs and such?

I don’t have bergs so I dunno… I’m just telling you what I know…

I asked around about grippy tires… I was sent to “Clever”… bought 'em! but the tire bead ID too small for more traditional sized hubs…

sent the whole passel of them to @CiscoV for sum qwikbux!!!

They were wrapped so tight that if I didn’t know what they were I would’ve guessed they were bundles of white powder when I got them.

Also got me some tools with them :grin:

Bro. Those tools have literally save my anodized wheels and carbon fiber enclosure. Before that my son would always hit my shit with real tools. Plastic ones are better for my boards and work just as well for him :rofl::ok_hand:t3:

Correct me if i’m wrong but i don’t understand how the German builders always want so much money for a shitty board they sell on ebay Kleinanzeigen (basically kajiji or craigslist)

This dude sells his diy build he hasn’t even tested. He doesn’t know top speed or range. Doesn’t sell it under 1000€

uses 2 flipsky vescs (probably 4.12) (edit: confirmed)
2x 4Ah 6s batteries in series.
2x “3000w” mototrs.

I can see SO many problems with that…
It will roll… maybe 10km assuming that belt doesn’t walk off the pulley in 1 metre.
But then shitty motors with pulleys so far out will wear the shaft, those million screws will vibrate out, etc…

Those sharp square edges, long stuck out bolts, solder jobs, half used but oversized enclosure…

That idler has a regular nut on top of a lock nut but with 2 bearings on the other side?

Dear God no.

Oh wait…
the wheels are holding the idler bearings in place
Why…

The extra battery space is to add more batteries which you obviously would need to buy on top if you want to go further than 5km.
