Less of a “build” and more of a “curated assembly” (I finished it in 20 minutes) yet it skates beautifully. Stable, safe, fast, lightweight and most of all - fun.
It’s not perfect - can still feel the hub, of course - yet I don’t think I can build a more useful all-round esk8 for $550 in retail parts.
Even with the factory Verreal kit cleaned up, this deck feels stable as f at 24 MPH (all it can do).
That’s the cool thing about this deck; 24 on this feels like 14 MPH.
22 MPH on the Mini X feels every bit of 22, and then some.
Happy building and thanks @OllinBoardCompany, @donta42 and @Alphamail for making awesome stuff.
