    thanks for joining us on this ride and welcome to the channel! hahahaha yeaaaaa it's crazy trying to do these ride vlog style videos with the eskateboard. It's definitely much more difficult. I can see why most content creators in that space stick to making reviews where they just do voice overs. It took me over 6 months to get comfortable with making this style of videos on the board! I hope it'll get easier over time and I need all the luck/ prayers for now lol

    doing some joyride videos on the esk8 (or even the Nami or Super) and through/by some historical landmarks throughout the area would be cool to watch. for those that dont or have never been to NYC and surrounding areas, I think it would be a cool perspective to see some history that way.

Thats on par with some of the best "Hyper Scooters" out there. I don't think I could handle something that crazy yet but I hope to be able to in the future hahaha. I'm excited to see what the esk8 world has in store for us this year and I hope that I'll be skilled enough by the end of this year so that I can start doing some first impressions of high performance boards like I do with bikes/ scooters!

As I continue to make these Esk8 videos and get better at it, it helps me to think of new places to angle the camera to try and make the videos more entertaining and less 1 dimensional. It's not like a POV ride where all you gotta do is point it foward lol. Hope all is well and the new year has been treating you well so far!

    thanks for joining us for the ride and welcome back to the comments section! As I get better, I'll continue to loosen the trucks even more so that I can take advantage of the DKP. Ive been told that my DKP should be much more maneuverable but I keep them tighter since I generally have to ride a higher speeds in the city. Last time I tried looser trucks, I almost lost control on a speed wobble lol. I hope to be more comfortable on the board by the end of the year 🙏🏼. Thanks for the feeback btw! I'll try to bend my knees more but its tough for me since I have problems with mobility because of my years in football and Muay Thai lol. I'll have to do my own physical therapy at home to help with the mobility lol. In the future, when I'm doing more than 1 video per week, we'll see more of the individual PEVs. My goal is to up the the upload pace to 2 videos per week when work isnt as crazy and I have a faster computer!

We've also updated the scooter on the the channel! 2024's been off to a rocky start for work/ health and the channel's recovering from algorithm punishment for taking a week off to enjoy the Holidays but luckily it's a long year.

    Yeah, I know exactly how you feel. I'm pretty new to eskate too and I've never skated as a kid either so being 35 years old and picking up an electric skateboard for the first time is nerve wracking for me. One tip with loosening the trucks. A lot of people will tell you to loosen the front truck while keeping the rear tighter to help with turning while still maintaining stability. Although this is primarily accurate, it only works to a certain extent. If you loosen the front almost all the way but keep the rear super tight, this will make the rear wheel lift up when making certain turns. This is because the front will lean but the rear is too stiff and won't lean, so therefore when you put more weight to make that turn, it can lift up the rear wheel. I only have my rear truck a little bit tighter than my front. Don't have the rear and front too different since that leads to instability.

    thanks for joining us on this ride to Brooklyn and welcome to the channel BN9! first, congrats on picking up riding an eboard, it's definitely alot of fun despite the initial fear. Thanks for the tip, I think that's something that people don't really tell you lol. I had to learn that the hard way. I almost wiped out because the difference in the front and rear trucks was too great. Now, I have the front and rear separated by 3/4ths of a turn and I found the perfect sweet spot of maneuverability at low speeds and stability at high speeds. I wish I could ride with much looser trucks but there's a certain speed that I have to maintain in order to keep up with traffic on the bike lanes.

Though I've never taken my board on to a trail yet because riding on a loose surface scares me still hahaha... I hope I can do more esk8 content more often. It's tough because we're cycling between 3 PEVs and I'm only releasing 1 video per week. I think the skate vlogging is a nice change of pace compared to review heavy nature of esk8 content so I'll continue to make the videos even though it doesn't do well on the channel lol. In the future when I shift in to 2 video per week, it'll be much easier to cycle between the PEVs. I just hope people don't get sick of seeing me at that point hahaha

I have to check out those thinner heated gloves so that my hands aren't freezing when riding the board. The helmet is the TSG Pass Pro .
