We could have the new EUC Forum Logo ( do we have one yet?) printed on the card. Everything about EUCs could be stored on the drive. @Marty Backe since it was your original idea I would like to preorder 50 cards please! https://www.usbmemorydirect.com/products/card-tab.htm Those are very cool, and nice try The only thing is, would you plug one of these into your computer from some stranger that went whizzing by you on some weird contraption that you had never seen before? Doubtful, very doubtful. Edited February 21, 2017 by Marty Backe 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about knowing what can happen if you fall off the edge is enough to make me fall of the edge Yeah, I went off the edge of a bridge about this wide on a Mountain Bike trail on a Mountain Bike. Fell 10 ft onto my face! Knocked myself right out! Sucked! It's exactly what you say, I can ride perfectly straight on a line on the road, but take the sides away, and I lose all balance.

I'm really surprised that EUC retailers don't provide cards with their web address on it to all new purchasers. The card could give a discount code (with a specific tracking URL for the EUCer who passes them out) and track purchases made through the efforts of that "EUC ambassador." They could then be rewarded through spiffs or discounts on later purchases. I always try to answer questions and give the web address of the seller I bought from, but no one ever has pen and paper on them to write it down. Business cards or something similarly sized would work well and I could keep them in my pocket while I ride. And I wouldn't mind being rewarded for selling something I have as passion for, either! The first retailer to come up with a decent reward program like this will make a killing in new sales. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 My retailer gives us cards to hand out. And he also offers us discounts if any sales are made through us. I'm not too concerned about the discounts, but I'd be really happy if he made some sales, and if the sport expanded. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cool that yours does that! And like you, my main concern is to grow the sport, which I already try to do with anyone interested in learning more. With the cards, everyone wins!

It's got a lot of the elements that I thought I'd include in mine.

Don't be a smart ass @Marty Backe anyone who's been around here more than a day knows there is only one riding season in So Cal: Jan. 1 to Dec. 31. ? But judging from those -30*c riding reports I read on the Finnish board, some people, who live in less than ideal climates, have all year round seasons too. Me, I won't wheel if it's less than 15*c. But then I don't commute. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very enjoyable and entertaining as usual! Your routes are always interesting: a mix of open road, city, country, paved, unpaved, forest, usually a meal/charging stop! Great camera work too! It's great that France has a vibrant, active EUC community! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve454 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 @nomad great video, what a long trail that is. And most of it right on the edge of a steep dropoff. I noticed the white Kingsongs had no handles and wondered why until the part where the rider was standing on top of the wheel. One interesting part was when the rider went down a 35 degree hill, turned around and with only 2-3 feet level ground to get started, went back up the hill. Good power from the Kingsong. It looked like something the military might use in the future, small team riding silently at twice running speed for miles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one rider did, and he threw it up hill. Luckily it shut off immediately to prevent harm. But it tumbled a lot. And appeared to be safe to ride. But I think they gave him a new wheel. With a fresh battery, Movie tricks can be deceiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoother Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Two wheels had no handles, at least. Towards the end one guy can be seen standing on both handle less machines. Theses guys have some serious skills. And they show clearly that a 14" when ridden well, can go almost anywhere. there were too many good bits to outline. Anything after about 8 minutes was good. Imteresting note, at one point the videographer had his on board speakers on ( could be heard over the soundtrack) totally appropriate here as absolutely no one to disturb.
