How to dye your skateboard wheels tutorial
Hi there, I'm in the Bay Area also, giving serious consideration to buying the Metroboard or the Diablo. Any chance I can meet up with you for a quick demo ride? I can keep it short and sweet and pay you for your time. Thanks for making the video BTW.
Hey bud, thanks for the follow I'm actually on my way out of the bay right now haha, and boards back with Metro, Evolve has solid customer/parts support but metro has a much higher attention to detail/reliability record as my two cents there. You might hit up the baesk8 group to see if anyone else has one around here.
Weight is always gonna be a problem if u want range because of the battery,if they go lightweight then people will complain about range,so until another power souce comes out which I dont see stop complaining because batteries are heavy,go hit the weights,id rather have range instead of light(small battery) weight,daniel is a wimpy reviewer also boards are made to ride NOT carry,toughen up guys
Y'all gotta carry the board in certain situations, a vast majority of riders use boards for commuting which involves a lot of hybrid public transit and riding, so its not an issue that can be solved by just "lift more bro' mentalities etc.
@@DredSk8 Uhh, I have an Acedeck N1 which I commute with sooo....
Красота ❤
I have to see a review of this!
Soon, gotta make a few more adjustments but will hopefully start shooting the full review soon 🤙
This board looks terrible for the price. Clean build inside but what the hell is that engineering failure of a hump doing there? The trucks are pretty ugly IMO. The charger and Hoyt puck are the only things I like.
I prefer slingshots
Not the sunmates😂
Goong to upgrade to novas soon 🤙
Really good honest open review. I really enjoyed the ride feel of it at esk8con. Of course that’s in a small area. At least they’re honest about their target market. Customer service and dependability goes a long way. 😎
Fo sho, its a bit unfortunate that they announced the re-structuring right after I dropped the vid but is what it is, I stand by them still having some of the best quality builds and components, hopefully Metro pulls through.
That's not a fast charger. It's just "faster" than most wimpy chargers you get. A Molicel P42A pack's 1C charge rate is 4.2A. For a 4P pack (like the one one the Phoenix), you would need a 16A charger to hit that. A 10A charger is barely putting 2.5A into each group during nominal charging. That's just over .5C. That's zero stress on the battery pack. To put it into perspective, there's more stress on the pack when you're accelerating from a dead stop.
Fair point, I'll freely admit Im not super well versed on the EE side of things for that sounds right for moli's, and yeah this is more generally fast charging but it's hyper charging compared to most other production boards which usually top out around 8a at most.
ESK8 companies are always killing me with their "fast" chargers. None of the out of the box boards come with a charger that even hits the 1C rate of the cells from what I've seen. And everyone seems to always believe that slower is better, which is true. But that doesnt mean that faster is bad if you arent even hitting the 1C rating of the cell. Kudos to calling this out. Sometimes I feel like Im the only one who ever says anything about it.
So i got a backfire hammer sledge 2wd will it fit in that bag?
Yup, though you'll probably want to leave the spoiler off, the maxi will accommodate most boards, but larger heavier boards will need a bit extra attention when clipping in.
@DredSk8 don't plan on getting the spoiler just 4wd and the board side wings which Ik I would need those off anyways thank you 😊
@@GreenMachineYTE No prob and if you have any additional questions dont be afraid to hit them up on email/insta, also I think my code still works (DREDSK8) if the sales not still going on and you want to save a few bucks 🤙
Price point .....Ouch. killer specs, trucks look insane. I would like to ride one before I commit at that price!
Its one of the best feeling DKP boards I have ever ridden, period, but yeah at that price point its a bit much to ask.for most
nice! id love to scoop one if it wasnt for the top middle mounted esc and the high price tag.. for almost 3000 with the 153mm is just nuts. i bought a set of those and those tires were taller and less contact patch then there 155mm tires. they even admitted it was supposed to be the same design as the 155mm but just smaller, and it wasnt. they also acknowledged how sometimes molds come out different. they refused to send me a proper set. 3k for that setup is just too much. just my input & experience . as for the lights, i remember talking to them at the first esk8con , and they said they couldnt figure out the lights controlled by the remote . i wish there were more customers and or reviews on these boards to get a better idea of real world speed tests and longevity of the build. ✅
For real, quality is top, but there are just not enough of these put in the wild to get a baseline, what I really like about the metros in general is you open them up and nothing in there is proprietary so super easy to fix/update. But yeah its definitely a steep cost barrier for most riders
damn esk8unity got screwed over my metroboards damn shame the new management must be gold diggers with no customer care and the boards specs for the price are a joke compared to many other company boards out there well another stupid esk8 company to add to the naughty list that keeps on building up.
@@NitroSoldier what companies are on the "naughty list?"
Bro for 2800 I’d get the new MBoards endurance 2.0 +.. oh wait I already did 🤙
@@erike7297 for sure, its two approaches to the same market, US made and supported but at drastically different price points, but with Metros future kinda up in the air now the endurance is certainly a no brainer for an off the cuff recommendation
*Awesome video!* 🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽⚡️🤙🏽
🙌❤️👊
No more lights
Yeah, its a weird move cause they could jist drop an inline switch in there to manually turn them on, but I'm sure there was more to that decision than I know.
@@DredSk8 Ilan the OG owner of MetroBoard was not happy about this choice but he sold the company so 😪😪
@@eBoard3R I'm sure he'll materialize in the comments here shortly, my biggest gripe is they didn't color match the cover plates.
are you blind or just dumb? sorry but how do I take a reviewer seriously when they call a D75 that's right in front of them a DV6? or are you just reading off an *incorrect* spec sheet because you have noo idea what you're talking about?
So you r wrong about the esc/vesc Video shows a D75 ? Dv6 is only up to 12s ....... also liked and subbed.
Good call, when I did the VO I was going off the website specs, which probably also needs another once over, will pass alomg 🤙
Great video!
Thank you kindly 🤙
This is now the most useful youtube short I've ever watched. I have to try this when they're back in stock 😮
🙌🤙 glad you found it helpful, its a bit of a process to mount these for sure.
Thanks for the review. Your repeated hand gestures are way annoying. :)
Im gay its how we communicate l, like Italians, I have toned it down since lol, glad you enjoyed 🤙
What glove DO you recommend for esk8? I'm running into all the challenges you've brought up.
Either Onsra or Xboards off the top of my head and Flatlands if neither if those are currently available
@@DredSk8 I’m not liking the flatlands but was leaning towards the Onsra. Thanks!
Would this work as protection on a motorcycle
Yes thats what these were originally designed for, though I would recommend going with the level two pads
gross. real foootstraps are better.
Yall gotta try them before you commit to a statement like that, I've talked to numerous riders and the owner extensively and peeps who have tried them, myself included love them, so while they might not be right for y'all personally, they are not objectively better or worse than traditional straps.
Foot position sucks. I levelled it out by layering gorilla tape on it. Used a whole roll. So much better now.
Yeah that was a big one with me as well, the arch is a bit too aggressive and that foam grip pushes your feet up higher towards the edges, toe stops or higher edger would defo help imho
Looks great & ecellent speed looks fabulous
Its a gorgeous board in person 🤙
how thickness tape is ??ty
This bike has side pulls, not V brakes.
nice
so what would you say is the best electric skateboard glove so far? any thoughts on the onsra gloves?
Most people would probably say Onsra right now yeah, I haven't tried them yet though, after that maybe xboard and distant third Flatland.
Yo what’s the fit bro ? Is it straight fit , relax fit or loose fit? I’m thinking of buying one for riding
I would actually say its somewhere between straight and relaxed, the waistline runs slim though so you might want to go one size up, also if you pull the trigger I think my code will get yall 5% off DREDSK8
@@DredSk8 so the straight fit might run a littler smaller? so it’s not true to it size ? I’m a 32 on waistline 180lbs I want to be comfortable , but I also don’t wanna it to be baggy either. The fit you have on your video is exactly how I want it to fit on me not tight or baggy in between.
@stevoo156ify im a 32/30.and thats what I ordered and the waistline was definitely a little to tight for like all day wear but theres enough give/stretch to be wearable in general for me personally
I appreciate the info bro thanks ride safe!
Hey. Thanks for the video. Are you still using it or has it been replaces by something else? Thanks!
Np glad you enjoyed, I actually gave this one to a friend as their first board, he's still riding it, still one of my favorite short boards but i would definitely opt for the belt drive now that its out 🤙
Nice review! What size Ultra did you get? How is sizing generally?
Thanks, I got the medium, on the ultras they run a bit more true to size if that helps.
@@DredSk8Thanks!
No flex = no bindings. If the deck was flexible, bindings would be easily to install.
I wouldn't say that necessarily, you can definitely put bindings on stiff decks, SRB, Kaly and etox as just a few examples, though yeah the utility of bindings definitely leans more for MTB where you actually need them. Iny case I think it just needs softer bushings and a slightly less aggressive concave 🤙
uhhhh yea correct the lack of binding option, but it will still be too stiff :-/
So I actually talked with Fabian about the stiffness, he agrees that my board in particular (and I have no reason to doubt others are not experiencing the same) is not within spec on the duro, will be following up on a fix or see if there might be a future option to get diff duros 🤙
Really good review. Nice meetin ya in Vegas. I wish I had a chance to ride the velar but got caught up in the races. I luv their remote design. 🔥😎🤘
For sure man was great meeting up, and I know the feeling got super wrapped up in everything going on, so many cool vendors and the race was intense 🔥 cant wait for next year 👊🤙
The three and a half minute "epic song (montage)" Is really no needed. Ends at 8:37
A fine summary! You make it look easy. Getting there was a challenge for me. Next time, roll the Wetlands Park trail East of town. I did so with Jon (shown here at Redrocks) as a guide + Fabian on Monday, was amazing. So great I went for a second blast on Tue skating to/from the hotel. The park and path are taken straight out of a Roadrunner cartoon. Crazy hills and turns, you never know what's over a peak, around a bend. An actual Roadrunner greeted us when we started on Monday.
Yeah I saw clips from the wetlands ride! Looks epic, I had to take off early on Sunday so I missed it but next year definitely staying through Monday 🤙
Loving the ASMR 😅
My LEASMR (Low Effort) ASMR 😂
@@DredSk8 🤣😭
Too expensive, especially when you can get something like a B-one Titan (random example) for less than half the cost, and without many of the head/foot aches, yet most of the performance! The board looks cool, but it certainly doesn't look comfortable to ride for extended periods! I'd take the N3 over this all day long, and that's still a LOT less expensive. No thanks...
I'm generally inclined to agree on the performance to cost front, however if you're going to toss OEM white label brands like b-one in there then they definitely beat out most in QC. I would also say after just under 100 miles on it, the boards actually pretty comfortable, the footing is just wonky feeling tbh. Again the only really big gripe with the Velar is the stiff handling which unfortunately hasn't really improved 😑
Pants Baby!!!
🤙🦵🔥
Great review!
Thank you kindly 🤙
Great review!! I’ll have to check them out 🤙🏽
Defo worth a peek if you don't have any upper body gear, love my og flannel 🤙
Thanks so much for the great video! Appreciate the honest and detailed review!
Glad you enjoyed 🙌
good stuff 💯🤘🏼
Thank you kindly 🤙🔥🙌
Love the shirt nice vid and yes pant vid would be good
Thank you kindly, will defo try to get a pair in before summer to review 🤙
We want the pants review too!! Let's make it happen :-)
Haha for sure lets do it 🙌
Hi , what real renge of 2s max ?
Under real world conditions, 8-10 miles or 16km under ideal conditions riding in mode 2 on flat ground you could get up to 19km potentially. If you ride hard though will probably max out at 12km.
Your passion for our Veymax electric skateboard is truly heartwarming! ❤️ Keep spreading the love and enjoying those epic rides!
The quality looks really good, wonder how it goes in summer Is the ventilation good enough
Yeah, they dont feel super dense/hot now but will have to wait till spring/summer to see how they hold up.
Alien Skin, good name. Those look great!
I should get a poll going to have them officially change it 🤣
*Yewwh!* ⚡️🤙🏽🤙🏽⚡️ Dexterity is important to me, some gloves are toooo restrictive.
Testing is ongoing, going to see about maybe collabing on a v2 thats mpre boarder friendly 🤙
Good stuff homie🤙🏼 good review …luv the content ..keep them bitches coming
Thank you kindly, looking forward to more custom AR gear 🤙
