Thanks man … they just hit me back :facepunch:t2: Just took them a little

now now, let’s not get nasty. Boosted has a good product for those who can afford it and don’t know how to make a fully functional awesome board like the people here.

I’m sure when you tell someone you made your own esk8 some thought you did this (3 min video):

Not getting nasty, I’m just saying. When did Boosted ever give a shit about DIY ESK8ers? They’ve probably got most of their ideas from us. Inboard, Mellow, they all have done something with the community at least once.

Personally I don’t like much about the boosted board, but I certainly can’t say they haven’t contributed to the community. Can’t count the number of boosted clones that our members have made on 2 hands. Inspiration for builds is priceless. I hope they make it to the event. Oh! and Psychotiller’s in FoShow!

But how is us making clones of their boards them contributing?

I think we should be inclusive to all electric skateboards right? I think we should celebrate everything about how far the industry has come and the party is just getting started!

Personally I don’t like Cadillac’s there overpriced unreliable heavy cars but if I was organizing a car show I wouldn’t want them to feel unwelcome.

@Michaelinvegas Would an indoor electric go cart facility be a decent place? Maybe a K1 facility? What about a golf course? Most have banquet halls and lots of possibilities for riding.

@psychotiller there are … and more …but to be honest I don’t think we could get a straightaway long enough for us…I kinda imagine a long run, some chicanes, back the other way…chicanes again…back to the straight away…

Maybe I’m crazy

Esk8 shredding up the golf course! Love it! :laughing::+1:

Hey, so is it going to be in Vegas? Anyone knows what’s the legal age to get into a casino in vegas?

21 to gamble

It’s 21 to gamble … 18 for the all nude strip joint hahahaha

@Pr0dy I’m trying to be cautious to search for venues that allow 18 and younger … basically I wouldn’t have the event at a bar…but I’d have it at a place you could get alcoholic beverages…if you know what I mean

As long as you are 18 you can check into any hotel, even with an casino.

I’ll be posting up travel tips too so you’ll all be prepared

If you guys wanna do a golf thing/ esk8 let me know… It would be outside the convention idea…but i could work it out…I don’t golf…but I know many of you do

Also keep in mind I’m also try to keep things easy and simple…

I want you to be able to use your esk8 … plan is to have recharge station at the venue …kinda like a coat check to charge…prob be a small fee to hold and charge your board…as well as battery rental options…

In my mind it’s very feasible for non-vendors to just leave the car at the hotel…but most will drive. So looking for places with plenty of parking and places to adventure near by…cause a parking lot is only so fun for so long…a night downtown is a piece of cake…because of all the places you can ride and places you can park…I don’t want you guys saddled with having to pay for parking or even have issues with finding parking.

I’m doing my best to cover all the bases…and to make this trip a fun and affordable one. Conventions can get expensive. So, little fees here and there eat away at your budget. Could be the difference between taco cart or bar food.

I’d love to see them come. But I just don’t think they will. Hopefully they can prove me wrong
