My Danger Manual

There should be a least one picture of an accidental Superman. If you really want to be controversial, include a list of acceptable containers for drinking adult beverages while riding.

Make sure at least one photo of someone doing something obnoxious has a barely-noticeable Trump campaign sticker on the esk8

Going political?!?

Under jealousy, you need a paragraph dedicated to recommended waves to imploy while passing inferior eboards, e.g. peace sign, two finger salute, royal wave, point and laugh, etc.

This is something over looked by the public very often: legal restrictions on motorized skateboards. Specifically the max speed and power. From the looks, your esk8(not picking on you, this includes most of our and mine :kissing_heart:) could potentially(unrestriction by design) break the legal speed(20mph) and power(1kw) limit. More on that here:

Plus, some areas also have vague rules on the streets against esk8’s.

Don’t forget to dedicate one section to “tech”

Like anti-wobble springs and other stuff that every esk8er with self respect must have.

Good point. Gotta make sure it’s on the user to determine the laws in their specific area.

That’s only for one state. In Cali, most esk8 on the market are illegal. Vote accordingly. And buy the ones that are legal. And for the rest of us, know your local laws

I carry groceries and my dog all the time, but never at the same time. That should be in there, don’t carry groceries AND your dog.

@longhairedboy When I talk to people about riding I teach them about viewing the riding conditions in cycles from the forefront to the background. You have to have a short view (what’s right in front of my wheels?) and a long view (what’s ahead and to the sides of me?) without staring in one spot. It’s a skill. Not sure if I’m explaining it properly here.

Now that you’ve pointed out, I totally try to do that but man is it hard! Especially as a newbie rider, it’s almost like being a student driver again. Maybe there should be a “gorilla test” for esk8
