You turned off safety function for safety reasons?

GrecoMan · February 9, 2019, 5:10pm

If remote disconnects and it goes full brake it would throw me off

At least I had a few second to prepare myself

Arek · February 9, 2019, 5:13pm

I think it’s called estop or something like that, if you loose connection it will safely brake down the board. Oh and also it’s good to learn on how to brake yourself.

I can brake by myself dude. I’m a normal longboarder too. The problem is I was just a couple seconds away from an intersection going downhill at 30 mph

Yeah had that happen. Full acceleration while leaning forward like a ski jumper to full brakes. Fly baby fly.

Go to the docs. Get checked out. If it hurts now tomorrow you won’t be able to move. Glad you’re ok

Yah man a fair few people don’t seem to look for cyclists or care about bike lanes when they drive. It’s probably gonna happen if you ride on busy streets or with cars a lot for a long period of time.

Paying attention helps a ton

GrecoMan · February 9, 2019, 6:12pm

Went to doc: Minor concussion 2 strained ligaments Whole buncha road rash So overall I did pretty good for 30mph

dareno · February 9, 2019, 6:15pm

Shit man thats not bad for 30. Helmet was on tho? What type that you still got concussion?

GrecoMan · February 9, 2019, 6:19pm

Yea helmet always. It’s an MTB helmet with a diy visor on it lol
