Safty Tip: Try out a Fullbreak so you can hande it in a stress situation. Beginner Tip: Dont be scard, just be prepared for the worst

As a guy who’s been researching electric skateboards for the past 3 months, I’ve found this one to be my favourite and most informative. I’ve been riding a long board for years and while I’m confident even at high speeds, I’m still worried I won’t be able to handle the power of a Carbon GT. Of all the hours of content I’ve watched and reviews I’ve read, Ant and Fred really put me at ease with this one! The vast majority of content and influencers out there have years experience and make riding at 20mph seem like it’s easy and safe. Fred’s tip about not riding faster than you can run is the best I’ve heard so far. Enabling the next generation of electric skateboard riders is a key priority your competitors are missing and this video has me gravitating closer and closer to pressing that buy button. :) Huge thanks to Ant and Fred and the team for publishing this video and all your other content! Keep it coming!!

A couple of Ideas I'd like to see for future vids: - Best Charging practices, and if partial charges/top-up charges add to your total charge/cycle count? - Adjusting the trucks, explain what each nut does(seeing there are 2x on each), and other tips relating to this - Getting the right belt tension

And is it best practice to tun on the remote before the board??? I flew RC helis and planes for a while, and best practice was to always turn the Radio before the model(same with current drone I have etc)

This is my fav weekly video. These guys are gold, champagne comedy duo, that show that this is for regular folks and not just the hardcore skater community.

Couple of tips watch out for dogs and go past them dead slow they don't seem to like the sound. I have been chased a few times now. Keep an eye on the screws/truck tightness especially if you ride rough surfaces. Use the remote carry case as a tool box for a few Allen keys, belts and charging cable for remote Always wear a helmet at the very least P.s Evolve please make a dedicated tool carry case with pockets for all the tools, belts and few a bolts. Maybe even and integrated battery bank?

I’m 55, I’m in good shape, I have good health insurance and arthritis hasn’t kicked in yet. Anything with wheels can maim or kill you. My advice… First and foremost, respect, wear a helmet and padding. Second concentrate, loosing focus gets you into trouble. Third practice, learn and don’t exceed your limitations. And fourth, have fun because life is short and we all have an expiration date. I love my Carbon GTX. Carve on!

Been riding for over a couple months now and I still love watching theses videos cause I always pick up something new everytime I see it

My best tip: If you want to become a really good rider... Get used to falling. That being said learning to fall correctly is a great idea in that case ;)

Agreed! I can't emphasize this enough. Injury at this level, and beyond. I cruise at around 25-30mph. Pushing the rush button to 40+ when I'm interfaced with a build, I am ABSOLUTELY confident in fully understanding the controls and limits of a ride. Jump out of your car at 30mph. You'll get the point. Still mending a knee from a fall a year ago. I test for Dave, Psychotiller customs. I would've liked pointers before I got on them 5yr.s ago. Ow! Please. Ride like your precious. You are! Then Sk8 like your dying

This is my favourite Evolve Weekly video, since its so heartwarming seeing different parts of the community enjoying skating in their different sections of the world. It makes me want to travel to just experience where other eskaters shred

I think the best thing about this video is them being called Fred and Ed, making me think of the choco tubes for on your bread

Ep. 2 “Intro to filming your ride” is my absolute favourite weekly episode! Fred gives great tips on how to make a great electric skateboard video and, having always dreamed of making videos on an evolve board, I always find myself happy imagining myself riding one of these excellent boards filming myself making great content. Fred doesn’t say it, but the music in the video is so uplifting and happy as well, a very important factor for a great video. Good luck to us all!🤙

This one is probably my fav. video since I appriciate tips for new riders etc. It's always great to see influencers/companys/pro's giving tips so people can enjoy and learn to ride. Also, love the way your boards look and perform (sick pattern on the boards and the way they look just 'screams' badass) Getting my hands on one of your boards is just a dream. Keep making the videos AND boards!

Another Favorite E Weekly video! It’s great to hear tips from two completely different riders! people who surf and snowboard might not think about the same things a true beginner would. The group rides look like so much fun! I can wait to go on one in my area! Thanks guys!

Love the weekly episodes but in particular I love the riding tips like this. It makes it easier for me see myself commuting on one of these boards (safely) one day. Cheers guys. Love your work.

If you are new to riding this really helped me ....try a big old figure 8 in a carpark (do it slow, and slowly speed up over 30 mins or so) This really teaches you both sides of your carve and how your weight shifts and effects your body and feet positions have on your board. Also a good way to build up those muscles you have not used in this way for a while... or ever before ;) Have fun !

Great idea for a video! Wish you'd made it 3 years ago. :-D I've had my Evolve Carbon for almost 3 years, and had never ridden any sort of skateboard before. Add to that the fact that I was 38, and there was a learning curve as you can imagine. The great thing about the Carbon AT is that I was able to learn on grass before taking it out on the pavement. Still love my Evolve. Ride it to work all the time.

The new funny duo, nice video dudes 😂😂

Great vid. I am planning my upgrade from Bamboo Gen 2 to Carbon AT

Everyone starts at a different level, everyone learns at a different pace, everyone learns different things. There's not a rule book that can show you how to ride an eskate correctly but in general, it's a great idea to at least get your body to experience and feel what it's like under most circumstances so that it's not the first time you're experiencing it when you're out riding in the streets or in a group environment. I agree that practicing accelerating and stopping quickly seems like a waste of time but it's not. You want to practice this on your own, in an empty space, just so you can feel what it's like. Just keep accelerating harder and harder from a stop until you almost lose it or even if you fall off, it's fine. It's better to feel these things in a controlled environment so that you don't freak out when it happens unexpectedly on the streets and around others. Same goes with braking, leaning, sliding etc. It's scary to fall, but for sure 100% you will fall a few times when you are in public so get used to falling in an empty area.

Awesome video. It was great to hear a little more of Fred's journey, as I watched his early (3 part series), that was so helpful. Loved the humor too! Awesome. Keep them coming. Other videos I'd love to see (though you probably all ready have more ideas than you can use) A tour around the office (on skateboards of course), I live in Chicago USA, so I'd love to see the main headquarters , and I'd love to see the California location and see the folks. I really loved Fred's series as he began his journey....I wonder if you could do something like that for categories such as...."Why I chose Evolve" (looking at all the boards available and narrowing it down) , "10 things you don't know about Evolve", "How to film yourself (an not get killed) on your board", "Best shoes to wear on your board (and other mods), "Safety 101, 102, 103" (Review of different Helmets, Pads, Gloves.)

Safety Tip No 2 - always wear wrist guards. Worst injury here other than a broken wrist is a big flap of skin torn out of the palm of your hand if you fall, and it takes months to heal and is very tender. I wear wrist guards even before a helmet, because your hands usually hit the pavement first if you go down. Dont ride faster than you can run is another good tip.

Hi Ray, that's a great tip! Just like snowboarding, you want to protect your wrists as that's the first thing that will land. We hope all is well now.

Thank you - great video - such great customer support as always - Camo Carbon GTX for Xmas in July please!!!

This video is my favorite because thanks to it I know how to ride an evolve skateboards. Now I just need one :p Madjid from France

An informative and entertaining video - a must see for beginners to ensure your e-skating experience goes as smoothly as the Evolve boards ride. Just remember: always wear a helmet! :)

Awesome video!! When is that brake light going to be out

This is my favorite weekly episode. Really wish to win the camo board. Love evolve

Great timing

My first tip is to hold a bell & pling if someone's in the road. My other tip is to check out my latest GTX vlog on my channel ✌🏻

Hoping to get the bamboo GTX for Christmas do on know if there will be a Black Friday sale?

That bamboo 🙏

Never ride faster than you can see. People always walk out in front of you. 2 rules i live by. Getting an Evolve board delivered in a week or two. Hopefully i can get used to the remote. Can you tell me how well the AT wheels deal with broken glass

Um dia vou te 1 desse.

Be prepared for very very expensive repairs. Remember evolve are a business as much as they try to portray the “skater just like you” image

Best beginner tip is to avoid Evolve at all costs. They are infamous in the e-skate communty. Do your research before you buy. Watch out for the forums that evolve owns and censors (they delete any post reporting these issues).. Their boards are known dangerous at premium prices. Literally injuring people all the time. Go with a reputable brand!
