Hello everyone! This will have a good bit of context followed by a TLDR Summary at the bottom for ease of reading! Thanks for stopping by guys!
So I’ve owned a backfire G5 for about a year now, ive had some power reliabilty issues(it just turns off while riding, once while going down a steep hill). But when its not having issues, I end up maxing the range and speed of the board on every ride. I ride very hilly terrain, a mixture of dirt/gravel roads and trails with rural streets with huge gaping cracks and rocks in the road (and i understand these conditions will put strain on the machine and will affect preformance). The cloud wheels on the backfire do just fine for everything i do. Im new to the sport and a bit worried about the nuances of owning a DIY Board, although the riding and carving is very similar to snowboarding so I feel very comfortable on the boards. That being said i would like it to be decent at carving as nothing beats the feeling of carving down a nice road. Happy riding everyone, thanks for reading! I
