Genuine question: Why do people buy the following products?

I get what you’re saying but the answer is still the same. Some people are loyal to Trampa, some people are introduced to esk8 through a YouTube video featuring a carver, some people just like the unique look of gummies.

It’s all just personal preference in the end. If we were all riding around on the same boards we’d dEvovle.

Thanks a lot for your comments @Linny @tenshi0 @ethel @deucesdown :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: I wasn’t sure if this video is too ridiculous so glad you like it :laughing:

It’s a 14ply Carver deck and I’m 74kg so it’s quite flexy. While riding I don’t use it as trampoline.

For a strictly street build I probably would choose a longboard because of weight but I wanted a hybrid build where I can mount whatever wheels I want. And the Gummies roll over almost everything. Is this stuff expensive? YES Can I afford it? NOT REALLY Why I buy it? ADDICTION. It’s like a virus or drug. If you already have a urban carver with 7" wheels it’s hard to resist not to buy Gummies. And personally I like the look

I live in Buenos Aires, the city streets are always a mess, I have seen just a few guys with urethane, some Evolved and diy, or cheep Amazon boards, going very slow almost suffering each block… So my choice to commute this crazy city was an emtb from Trampa, 8 inch wheels… I fully strapped my feets, this saved me many times… It was a life changing choice for good, could not be more happy. Sometimes you can choose, other times is learning whats the best for you… This webpage was crucial to make the right decisions, and avoid wasting money…

We are all sitting in the same boat. I’m even thinking about how I would do some new builds which I’ll never build because of lack of money. Soon I’m ready for the group of anonymous esk8 addicts.

@topcloud

I bought some from Francisco, they’re OK

…@ethel also bought a set; I’m concerned after seen them in person; they are kinda thin and has short width… not much different than your average hub cover.

Width is fine. Skins definitely make your ride harsh and they aren’t as sticky as many people might think they are but they’re aight I’d say.
