Semi-serious question here- is this intended more for esk8 riding or is it aimed at building as well?
Building is whole world in itself, with a lot of different skills and other info you need to know as a builder, but someone who just wants to ride wouldn’t need.
…or that what vol. 2 is for?
I think depictions of bloody crashes featuring stick figure skaters would be great for the safety section or really just throughout in little illustrations in the margin or annotated
very similar injury or death message stuck to the of Bajaboard
something in the manual I got from them says under “riding on roads section” something like “when riding on the road, be aware of the possibility of car opening doors in-front of you” its kinda obvious but I seen alot of people ignore this in vids
@sk8l8r That’s not something people really think about, so i think that kind of thing deserves its own spread, and i haven’t mentioned it yet, so thank you. Car doors are a bitch.
@e.board_solutions so much truth to that. I think the Riding In Public section is about to get another couple pages for this and the above mentioned topic.
There’s one PSA I could’ve used in my early days, and the remotes you use may not suffer this, but I’ve learned to be mindful of overcorrections with throttle inputs when I’ve experienced a signal drop or interference at certain locations. Those delayed inputs can get through and catch you off guard. When the board is acting weird, best to get off and test throttle response with wheels off the ground.
“If the board is acting funny to throttle input, best to stop and rationalize if it’s an overdose of caffeine and you have thumb jitters, or your board is fucked. Or the less obvious, to much bathsalts. -Florida”
