I shit - I didn’t even question this!! :sweat_smile: I must just be getting used to boards with motors!!! Bloody good point :smiley:

Yes that was a sneaky nollie, but I need to make some nicer and higher ones and will then upload a proper video to comply with the rules…

The 2Wheel needs A LOT of practice because you have to forget everything you know about steering and balance from skateboarding and do everything with the front wheel. On flat roads it is O.K. to ride but on medium inclines up or down it is less fun because your center of gravity changes. That either means that go go into a wheelie and cannot steer because your frontwheel is in the air or your COG is over your front wheel and you cannot lift it for steering :wink: You more or less just ride on your back wheel and only tip the front wheel to the ground to steer and keep balance…

I wanted to buy a original 2WheelBoard, but never received an answer to my emails. So I had to build it completely from scratch. The board is made from my ‘old’ MBS Core 94 deck with lots of glass fiber and epoxy… I started with a VESC6 SK3-6374 encoder setup but later switched to a sensored RC ESC because the plain old dutycycle control feels much better on this board than current control.

There is no build thread yet, but I should definitely make one… sometime…

That’s just crazeeeee dude - I’m confident you could build anything!!! :smile: Would love to see the build log, and would love to ride that thing! How does it compare in feeling to a snowboard? I guess the positioning of the wheels is the biggest difference as you’ve said. Maybe a longer deck would help?

I’m just about to hit the park and nail this Nollie so I can get a letter :wink:

Shit yeah!!! I’m excited to see what you did :wink:

Thanks :pray: I wanted to include an interactive version but couldn’t get it too embed properly. This is quite easy to update though.

I recorded some quick nollies yesterday so I’ll get my vid up today for a letter too!

Don’t expect any drama, just ollied something. Originally I wanted to ollie a bush or similar but couldn’t find one, so no fails in this video but some people :laughing:

Dude - no drama, but perfect ollies! Loved the dudes captured casually walking past and some dude whizzes past on an electric ollie rocket!! :joy: They looked pretty surprised!

You’ve been added to the leaderboard bro! You’re currently 3rd - get the Nollie recorded and you’ll be boosted to first place and get to set the next trick too! @duffman, technically has nollied in a video but he wants to upload a better one to comply with the rules. The first one of you guys to do it will get the next trick to set and the top spot! Who will it be??? I love a good friendly competition! :sunglasses:
