Motor vehicles are for the bourgeoisie people, remember? Gosh.
Only shame.

This is only true if itās your rear hanger with the motors. If itās the front, then thereās no excuse for not popping an prolonged wheelie all the way home.

Thereās not a ton to tell here that I havenāt already.
Basically we have a PDX eBoarding crew that does group rides. The OWers started as only a few, but over the āoff rainy seasonā (fuck that noise, my board is sea worthy), they multiplied like vermin.
There were probably 30 of them on Friday night, completely outnumbering the 4-wheel crowd 2:1. Like a horde of ass mallards completely lacking situational awareness, road experience, and looking like they were on safari to Comicon. The number of helmet and/or selfie stick mounted GoPros was straight up depressing; it was like riding with the fuckin paparazzi.
They just were generally in the way, running into skaters or each other. Getting lost and generally just loping around like a pack of mauled gazelles.
I didnāt ever crash because Iām a giant man and Iāve got a 3 wheel advantage, but being bumped into constantly and getting hit in the helmet with selfie sticks was irritating to say the least. Then I had to avoid one that stopped suddenly in front of a pack of people, and my motor took a hit on some nasty pothole/train tracks situation. Hence the roadside repairs.
I hope my newfound racism towards OWers is palpable.

And I donāt want to be that guy but there was like four of them that werenāt even wearing helmets. I never started wearing one up until a year ago. But at this point if I was putting together a group ride and someone showed up without one. Iād tell them to go home. Especially the anger hillbilly on the meepoop.

Iām still annoyed. It legitimately ruined the ride. Iām not kidding though, like 25+ of them buzzing around like gnats, mouth agape and with zero situational awareness. I swear they all went in on a GB of mustache wax too. Utili-kilts and at least one wearing a monocle. Ugh.
I also just fucking hate having GoPros shoved in my face.
Iām doing the typical Portland passive aggressive thing and starting a separatist group that bans anything with less than 3 wheels.
