@DreamTour yeah I don’t think a u-lock would fit the pint, the wheel opening is really tight. Maybe a cable lock tho, if the hardware at the insertion end is thin enough...

@a_onekatie awesome, thanks. It's very similar to xr profiles just with different names I'd say. So delirium (xr) is probably equivalent to skyline.

@Franko carbon smith has some badass bumper sliders that protect most of the board, and they have bottom plates as well

@Ethan_Sonberg If I hadn't pre-ordered in March, your route is absolutely the one I would have chosen instead. It's basically standard practice for a manufacturer to send a lot of inventory to their top doors ASAP once production has begun. I know that Scheels in Reno will be getting their shipments in at the end of this month. Congrats BTW!

I used the same lipo 7.4 2s batt for both. I have a bunch of em for rc use laying around . The light strips are usually sticky back but I use hot glue to reinforce . I put all the controllers and connectors inside the plastic underneath . I put my little battery deep in the finger hole box. The strobes suck a bunch of power but if you just use it with simple light schemes you could get about 30-1hr . Could always get bigger batteries,

@Kielanders @a1katie I ride with my right (back) foot almost at the back of the board, maybe 1/2" in, but at 90 degrees to the board. My front foot is angled with the toe forward like in that pic, but my heel is almost touching the fender, again maybe 1/2" in. This is due to my 2 nose dives while I was learning, and my desire to ease the acceleration to help prevent them. I do want to move my front foot forward a bit, but my brain keeps telling me to keep it back since I've not experienced a nose dive since I've been riding this way. Seems to work for me, slower acceleration, but quick stopping, LOL.

I finally ordered the pint. For your information: order#: 634XX estimated shipping date: Sep. 3th I'm planning to cancel the order if it gets delayed.

Pretty good idea. I thought about making my own fender out of plastic sheeting or an old trash can but decided against it as I didn’t want to spend the time and effort. Easier to just buy a pre-made fender off Amazon.

Hi everybody, thanks for all your help. So finally the tire guy put some fixplug in the wheel and after 5 hours, it seams as it is fine. I will let you know, if it stays like this. What are your experiences with this kind of fixing, how long will it last?

@a_onekatie oh! i didn't see the velcro... nice! i thought it looked tippy, but the velcro would totally help with that.

@Scottrod I can't compare as I've never ridden another model, but I am mostly riding my Pint on just that type of terrain and it takes it all like an absolute beast. No off road issues what-so-ever.

@Sponge315 said in Pushback to determine mph?: I wish that you could adjust the pushback speed in the custom shaping. Mine kicks in at about 16 MPH. I have tried a few thing to see how pushback behaves. I played around with the tilt of the board which did change things, but it didn't have any effect on the speed at which pushback started. Nosing the front down felt like it made pushback more pronounced when it kicked in, but that may have just been me. I have also noticed that the begining speed of pushback starts a MPH or two lower as the batteries get low. I'm not sure if this is absolutely true, but it seems that pushback becomes more pronounced at about 19 MPH Carefully pushing the board to its max speed my XR did the "kickback" pop at 25.3 MPH (don't try this at home) Running the battery to 0% to see what my max range was like, the board did an uptilt forcing the back of the board to the ground and then shut off. Not exactly pushback but kind of. I ride all my boards to 0 volts/shutoff at least a couple times to see how far max is along with how they respond in the lower voltage/power levels. Below 20% battery can be dicey with EV's. After I find my full to zero range I subtract 20%. That's my safe usable range. Along with that, at 20% battery left I stop my rides.

nice pick up happy riding

@Scottrod Right there with you - I still have flashbacks from my youth going down the road on a skateboard, wanting to dodge every crack or imperfection in the pavement, then reminding myself that I'm on a OW.

@a_onekatie I agree. Sidewalks should be avoided when possible. And if you go on it, you should do so with great care and respect. What you're saying is precisely the bad rep I was talking about and it's not about the particular device they're riding. OW would perhaps be no different as long as there riders exhibit the same unacceptable behavior. I ride my bike a lot and I'm very mindful of the people around me and their rights when I do that, and I intend to do so riding my OW.

@stinkyface ahh, got it now thanks! Guess I wrote this elsewhere, but I can def confirm that my Pint is having connection issues. My hope is that there must be an update in the pipeline, since custom shaping is not currently an option for Pint users.

@a1katie said in Inexpensive XR Stand: ROFL “Boardy” nice! I named him all by myself! :o)

@a_onekatie I’m going to definitely try deflating the tire a bit. I got thrown off by going over a road speed bump in the neighborhood. I lost my balance and forced the pint to go squirrly, and sent me riding off into a sidewalk curb that made the pint go sideways which caused me flying off. I guess it takes a lot practice to go off roading.

@b0ardski God Bless Ya', if you've got a way to make 'flail and bail' look elegant (cuz that's what i'm sure I look like), let me know - that was my fallback when the 'Ballerina' (toe-lift) didn't work half the time. I call my stop the 'F#ck It!'. The first time I did it I was so tired I didn't want any stopping drama, and just didn't care anymore. I knew the board could and would hurt me given the chance - so I decided to hurt it first, because that's the only thing the board understands . . . violence. I just stomped on the rear to stop, knowing I outweighed the board, and I wasn't going to be its bit#h. Sure, it dragged me for a second, but gave-in . . . our relationship's been different ever since.
