I always wear headphones, but only keep one earbud in. I had one guy today on the phone, no headphones or anything, and I said Sir, 3 times before yelling YO, DUDE. Then he turns around and stares at me with this look like, what?
I'll tell you what, get the fuck out of the middle of the sidewalk.

I might try wearing my speaker, but I don't think the public would appreciate my music.

I just spent a week in FL beach riding. My dad and I bought gorilla tape and taped up most of the front end, leaving the charge port and power button open so we could tape that individually and use when needed. We went through some low water here and there throughout the week and everything is fine.

@RLY Nope. I got home from FL on Friday, but live in Cedar Rapids, IA so as soon as I returned we were dealing with moving things back into the company I work for as well as my house. I still have to get my computer from a friend's house at some point today and the rest of my stuff and set up. The video will probably not be posted until late in the week or next.

Too many electronics cause issues with the environment. Adding all of this extra shit makes it harder for the board to endure the weather - specifically water. I don't know that I can speak for everyone, but I think the majority of us would prefer the ability to safely ride in the rain and on the beach without having to worry about all of these extra "neat" factors getting ruined and making me have to send my board to FM.

@dalisdair Quit being a debby downer, bro. Lol. Constantly fearing life is going to make you immune to the joys of it.

@parrothd Agreed. I use the brighter lights when I'm riding home late at night. Thanks POneWheel.
During the day I always turn my lights off, but if it doesn't save much energy (which I'm not surprised it doesn't, since they are only LED's, maybe I'll just start cruising with them on always.

@dalisdair said:

I just like to see that they are on and white. I've learned it doesn't make any difference if they happen to be red.

The lights are white in the front (in terms of motions) and red in the back (again, in terms of motion.

@jeff8v7 Yeah, no thanks. Bindings on pavement sounds like a death sentence.

@shoemoney the shakey knee thing is (I'm assuming) totally common for all of us at first. I was afraid that would never go away and after 6 or so miles a day for the past month I have no issues.
Strengthening your legs and core at the gym would work wonders.
Also, these things sell at 1000-1200 used, regardless, so you might as well get some practice and be positive your knees can't handle it before you do anything too drastic (:
Happy riding!

@thegreck nice. Damn expensive though. I love the design.
Looking for a good forums to integrate with my site and not finding anything I really like.

Does anyone know if these forums were built specifically for FM/OW or if this is a format that you can download and integrate into your own site?
