I have an iPhone 6s Plus that worked great with my OW+, and I have initial connection issues with my XR. Usually have to go through a solid 10-15 minutes of closing out the app, restarting bluetooth and restarting the board in no special order to finally get them to talk. Once connected it's solid, but sometimes I just say f' it and ride without the connection. Does anyone know what version of BT the XR uses? I think the 6s Plus is 4.1, so if the XR is a higher version it may be having problems clocking down?

I got the FF's and the Fender and agree that I like that locked in feeling you get, but I'm wondering too what'll happen on an emergency bail. Kinda want to get some Fangs now, just where I mostly ride I don't think they would help very much.
Gotta say too that I love the partial fender, I get sick of hearing stones bounce around in the full fender, and yeah I get some in my shoes, but it's still better than listening to them!
So here's a suggestion for a future mod for the brothers to make these more compatible for those of us with Mafia bags:
Create the fenders and the Fins with a sort of tongue and groove design, possibly reinforce it with metal for strength, but where you slide it up from the bottom of the fender toward the top, and there could be a set screw stopper that you screw in once you get it at the height you want. Easy on and off for transport, and it would still be strong.

I live across the stateline from NW Ohio, and got stopped a couple times at parks, but luckily it was much like your scenario, they've never seen one and were interested how it worked, etc. I think the biggest sticking point, which seemingly made them calm down initially, was that they're not gas operated, I think that's where a lot of lines are drawn with these types of things. But yeah, once I explained it, everyone was totally cool with it

My XR, that I have literally less than a couple miles on (it's been a busy spring at work) just started giving me 15 flashes. It's been in a nice, dry office this whole time, save for a couple spins around the parking lot. The problem started where it just won't connect to my phone. I rebooted the phone, restarted bluetooth on the phone, restarted the app, nothing. Eventually just removed the OW and tried to find it again, nothing. Reinstalled the apps, still nothing. Is this possibly one of the first XR that had board problems?

I'm 42. Skated a lot as a kid, went dead for a bit then started things back up late 20's/early 30's with stuff like snakeboards and Freelines until OW+ came along. I mostly take mine on dirt and gravel trails, sometimes grass. I don't get near the roads because ppl around here text way too much while driving and there's no sidewalks.

I've been thinking about getting the fins for a while now but thinking that a partial fender would be the way to go, so awesome to see that was the direction you guys went. Just pre-ordered the combo!

My order got moved up one day at a time from the 26th, but finally shipped yesterday, W00T!!!! Due here by the 5th, I'm gonna be counting hours LOL

@ventoriffic nice, the push back will be well worth the wait then, glad they're on top of it

@mrbrett131060 I'm up to the 27th now
