If you are running in FOC then try a switching frequency of 30 kHz. Could be that it solves your issue.
100km/h

lol no way, fastest for me is like 35 knots 
that’s Thierry Collado
that’s 62 MPH, just wanted to provide an example as a few of y’all have actually achieved this speed under power. Quite incredible.

Just got back from MaryHill rats DH in WA State. Been talking with people on UpHill Esk8 racing at these events. How do we take a diverse group of builds and riders, and give them an equal shot at podium with boards making different speeds on the hill. Here is what we came up with.
- Every entry runs a lone qualifying heat to establish a qualifying time on the hill.
- Main event start is staggered by slowest time leaving first. Next riders in line would then start from their qualifying time differences from the first riders start time. Quickest time up the hill would be last out of the gate corresponding to their qualifying time split from the slowest time that left first.
- any rider that podiums and goes quicker than their qualifying time by more than 5 seconds is disqualified from the competition. (Aka eliminating sandbagging)
We have the Backside Brawl in May in SoCal to test this format. I would like to cordially invite all boards with all skill levels of riders to attend. Everyone who enters has a shot at podium. No guts no glory.

So everyone ends up at the finish line at the same time? Awesome! That’s going to be a hell of a race. I can’t wait!

@MoeStooge what do you think about a doing a limited class race in the future. I know you like the high amps of the mamba but I think we could really have some fun by doing a distance race with limitations. If we keep the top speed under 50 mph more people will be willing to pilot. If we bring range into play it will help keep us from reenacting the early days of “air race” too.

I’m down for anything racing. Mamba can be dialed for any Max watt/speed output.
Derby days. Fun time. 4.6mile sprint on a .8 mile course will have multiple classes.
a mph Jig could be used for post race “tech inspection” when we break into Max mph groups.
Distance racing poses a new group of tests. Would also be fun.
I was initially encouraged by the turnout for Barrett. Was disappointed with Bakersfield turnout but had a great time there as well.
Did Mary-Hill last week to show Dean what we were capable of. Maryhill UP-Hill is a go in August. My fear is board count. A 35mph uphill board is very obtainable. Should we dial all boards back to this speed? I’m game if it keeps people coming back to the hill. Speed will come eventually. Board count, having a competition and fun need to be prominent.
Uphill racing May 18-19 SoCal.

That’s pretty interesting. Sort of like bracket racing with cars but better since all classes are involved.
You could also do an IROC Champions-type race with mid-spec boards. Everyone brings a board that meets specs agreed on beforehand and you number and blind pick. So maybe you get to ride your own and maybe you don’t.Then it’s just rider vs rider for the most part.
Great to see people who might not think they have a chance to get to try racing. Just kind of hope it’s in addition to and not a replacement for the purity of fastest to the top.

All of these places you and the community show look so incredible for skating… I’m stuck with grouchy people and ‘bike Lanes’/ road shoulders smaller than caliber 2s are wide…
Can’t wait to attend an event like this

Next Uphill race/freeride. it’s my understanding the IDF will be timing the hill. Wonder if we can beat the downhill times going uphill.

Racing on open streets sounds terrifying.

We had an absolute whale of a time in Paris, with Street and AT races. It was more of a chill weekend than a true competitive one (even though the prizes were good), with only a couple of true competitive teams (Trampa Boards and StreetWing).
We’ll do this again next year and, even though we had a small US presence, it would be awesome to have more of you around here. I, for one, would like to see a Stooge board in the flesh!
