RipTide Sports would definitely be interested in getting involved with this! We make bushings, FootStops and other accessories for a wide variety of skate disciplines.

April 5-8 was the last dates I heard as final.
Please let us know how the R1 is, me has to be knowin’ yo
Can you kick it up and grab it without bending down? Can you walk into a grocery store door, kick the board up and flip it into a shopping cart all in one motion? Will it push out the Metroboard Short as the king of grocery runs?

Yes + Yes = Yes
R1 is nice. Stay off that kicktail when you start for that first ride!
Is this still a thing? nothing happened in this thread for 6 months and esk8squad.com is still dead. April is around the corner?

New here, but adding 4/6/18 to my calendar.
Vegas has an incredible public skateboard park as a bonus!
If we get some concrete dates I’ll definitely be there, prolly bring my kid too. I’ll need to ship at a minimum batteries, probably the entire board (or 2 boards), if anyone out there can help a brother out.

you can probably arrange sending it to your hotel ahead of your arrival.

Spring or late fall would definitely be best temperature wise. There is a great paved trail that runs from Bootleg Canyon to the lake that I have skated but not esk8’d that would be amazing to ride up or down or both

Really hoping I can make it, no idea honestly. If work doesn’t get me the costs of international flights might. And the batteries…oh, the batteries… Seriously though, what happened with the idea to have some kind of on-site battery rental for the convention? Is that still a possibility? That would make things so much easier for a lot of people!

I’m (family) probably going to drive to Vegas if this thing happens so I can take delivery of your batteries or boards if comes to that. Hit me up when dates are set so I can confirm with the ball and chain.

Just sent Raptor2 Fedex ground 3-4 business days and no planes 
lol. $9.13 from nyc to Vegas Hotel (for convention should be @Michaelinvegas house) lol. $14.12 back from Vegas to nyc. Not sure why the extra $5 on return but most economic for 30 lb box (I kept the raptor 2 box it came in)!

Damn! only cost $10-$15 to ship across the US?!?!?
I’m thinking about selling my almost new OneWheel Plus, but thought shipping would be around $50
Also @Michaelinvegas is going to be drowning in boards when the time comes hahaha
