Nice split screen, low camera angle, drone view, and sound.

Hikers were enjoying the show too.

S22 did great on the Black Diamond.

Thanks @Paul A . I almost narrated the video but decided it didn't need it.....or was it that I was too lazy? :efeee20b79:  

I wanted to point out that I had my left side Grizzla Pad lose it's adhesive to the Velcro and ended up doing half the run without it. You can see me holding it during the drone footage. :P

Well, another one - three eats dirt - yes, there where no beeps, Begode wheels and firmware are NOT that bright, for f*ck's sake, its up to the rider to think; low battery?  better slow down.  But there is as always room for improvement, and nobody was hurt, except some broken bones..

There is a single comment that is actually quite interesting:

"Speed should not go above battery percentage"

Many could probably benefit from remembering this rule, the question then is whether it is meant as mph or kmph.  I would never ride above 50 kmph on the RS19 with less than 50% battery.

I wonder what the safety margin parameter would have been doing had that guy been using EUC World ? I suspect that was an alarm he could have set that might have saved him...

Lucky to wreck and slide toward the shoulder vs the median (and possibly oncoming traffic). Lots of risks riding on the road, more than motorcycles IMO. Addicting to slalom, but you never know when playing the odds will go against ya in a big way.

Man, hopefully both your recoveries are quick.  One on the features I like about Kingsong is their tilt back alarm. Let's you know when to back off. Also the throttling is is acceptable. May you heal up in time for spring.

In a group ride, it ain't good to be one of the few riders who have the least battery capacity, I suppose.

It's not me in the video, just a little rant ;)      Yes; Riding the Kingsong 16X is cruising without worries about speed and capacity, the wheel will always warn you (almost always).  Begode wheels are "go figure it out by yourself" with the freedom of pushing beyond the limits and eventually take the blow.  So, if you cant figure it out, either don't ride that wheel or take the damage and shut up with the whining.

I've been able to set the tilt-back on my Begode RS so that I don't exceed a speed that I choose to set.  I don't imagine at 40mph a rider will hear the beeps, there has to be a lot of wind noise at that speed.

Most definitely! I hit chest and gopro/head first! No helmet would have been a disaster!! Gear every time! No such thing as too much gear!
 
 
Yeah I got Real lucky on this one! Three minor cuts. And my neck is sore for three days. But I’m already back rolling! Let’s go.!
 
 
All valid points! Chest protector is a definite must! I would have definitely broken ribs if I didn’t have it on, the chest protector took most of the impact.

 

Man! Gear is a definite must! I would have broken ribs if I didn’t have my chest protector on.

A scenic ride from the top of Mt. Umunhum overlooking the Silicon Valley in sunny California. Great vistas and lots of twisty turns. Average speeds are about 30 mph and all downhill. Enjoy! 😀
