Wow! What a rush!

I just wanted to share my awesome buzz after a 5 mile or so blast around on some dirt tracks. I’m a surfer and honestly I feel just like I do after a great surf. It’s blown me away actually, when I started my build I had no idea just how fun the ride would be.

It turns heads too, no one around here has seen anything like it. A bunch of kids chased me to say “wow where did you buy that?!” Felt pretty good saying “I built it”.

Anyway, thanks for everyone on here who I silently stole ideas and learned from to make the build possible. Can’t wait for my next ride. Cheers!

Awesome! It’s always a great feeling to ride, do you have build log on here? I’d like to see it. If not, you should make one!

Yep, here it is: http://www.electric-skateboard.builders/t/all-terrain-flat-deck-fattail-deck-mbs-matrix-pro-ii-trucks-mbs-wheels-dual-ollin-170kv-custom-mount-8s-vesc/7419 it’s sort of ongoing, I have a few plans to improve it still. Today’s ride was the first where it felt rock solid and I had the confidence to reach maximum speed :slight_smile:

Awesome @dinodave !

I think there’s a difference between “riding” and “commuting.” I use my esk8 for both. While commuting is fun, nothing feels better than a ride just for the sake of the ride.

I think that’s why we’re all here.
