RockyTop Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I did not get the memo! ? I would not have got to watch anyway. I got an overtime call. I guess it is reheated microwave Marty and Duf for me. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted July 24, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) @Marty Backe @Duf So in preparation for maybe the next livestream, is it possible to do a three person Skype live broadcast? I wonder if @Jason McNeil might have some time on the Sunday to join in. It would be very interesting to watch a live chat between the three of you guys, and also get an insider’s perspective on the EUC world. Topics could include the current state of US tariffs affecting wheels. Are there any plans to do a work around of some sort to help reduce prices? Has it made much impact currently? Maybe discuss the dealer reports of high Gotway failures and reliability. That always seems to be on the forefront of people’s minds when considering new wheels. With King Song and InMotion's rep for reliability being slightly tainted recently, are they still the go to wheels for people wanting the highest quality product? With Ninebot back in the game, will other manufacturers compete with their own fat wheel editions? What does Ewheels think the future will bring for EUC designs? Are high speed electric scooters taking over the playing field? How has Dualtron’s reliability been like from a dealer’s perspective. Is @Esper‘s problems an outlier and not indicative of what others are experiencing? Isn’t that accelerator hall effect control failure a possibly serious issue that may need to be recalled? How do Chinese companies deal with recalls? Do they at all? Or do they dump it all on the dealers? Gotway took a fairly fast pro-active approach with its MSuper V3S+ firmware fiasco. Are they better to deal with lately? King Song now has Ulf @US69 as their social media rep. Any chance Gotway might want @Marty Backe as theirs? Or would that bias Marty’s opinions too much that it would be difficult to stay neutral? And where is IPS? When are they releasing a successor to the famed Xima Lhotz that @The Fat Unicyclist loves? When is the i5 hitting the streets? Anyone have any other burning topics of discussion, please add them on here...

It's hard to fit much in one hour, and I'm not sure how long we'll keep this up. It is a commitment of time and when the viewership is so low, well, you can think of better uses of your time (just speaking for myself). And BTW, I have zero interest in being associated with any company. I'm probably going to forego other loaner wheels that may come my way. Just takes too much time out of my day (as I'm finding out with the Z10). I'm actually getting a little burned out and may take a breather from all the socials for awhile to recoup some energy. Appreciate the ideas and continued interest though 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted July 24, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) I think a little advanced advertising likely helps. The first two livestreams hit over 500 views with about 35-40 people tuning in. I thought they covered many interesting topics. This last one wasn't viewed as much because it wasn't announced I think. I think you guys are doing great otherwise! There was even some implied, off camera leg nudity as well! With some guest appearances I'm sure you would be breaking new ground. Rome wasn't built in a day! You could still continue to test new wheels out if you give a disclaimer to those sending the wheels that you will be giving your honest opinion of them good or bad. If the sender is concerned they are free to decline. Tell it like it is with no guarantees of positive reviews. If they don't respect that they certainly can send it to someone else. It's certainly up to you guys whether you think it's worthwhile continuing. I think it's pretty cool to watch every couple of weeks. I could care less if 1,000,000 people or 2 people tuned in. I'm still watching! Kinda miss seeing the Mar-T though. I guess I never really fit into the popular crowd and conventions that way. Maybe that's why I choose to ride on a single tire. Different is good! Edited July 24, 2018 by Hunka Hunka Burning Love 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Marty Backe Posted July 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2018 I went back and reviewed some of the chat that I missed real-time. Of course Hunka was witty as usual (I know I shouldn't have mentioned legs), and it was cool to see @trya stop by (hey). So Mik is your actual name (is that pronounced like Mike or ?). Which leads to, what does "trya" refer to? And seeing @SuperSport come by was nice (you don't spend much time in the Forum like you used to). Anyway, it is fun connecting with everyone 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RockyTop Posted July 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2018 Thanks to Duf and Marty. We have enjoyed the show. I can understand that Marty has other things to do. Duf is a great host and seems to be comfortable. Others could go on the Duf show. It does not have to be Marty every time. We would love to hear from the NYC crew and others like Jason and the EUC guy. Maybe sell product and tell a story or two. I fully believe that Duf would even do a great job hosting Chooch. ( Not sure Chooch could) I think the show has great potential. Thanks again 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Mik is your actual name (is that pronounced like Mike or ?). Which leads to, what does "trya" refer to? Hey @Marty Backe. My "trya" nick was born many years ago on some audio-book or programmers' forum, I think, quite sporadically, but I have a few "meanings" for it, my favorite one is that it references my tendency to try some new things, like "try a new XYZ", although I don't believe that I really meant this when used it first My full first name is Mikhail (like Gorbachev's, hehe) , which usually transforms to "Michael/Mike" in US. However, the first small company I started working for in US had already 2 other Michaels on the team, so I became "Mik" (pronounced like in "kick"), and it stuck. You also may have seen me under my real name on Facebook, I think, - I liked quite a few of your posts in EUC groups. Good seeing you live, @Marty Backe and @Duf! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted July 27, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) So any progress on maybe getting a threeway going with @Jason McNeil on the livestream next next Sunday? Gotta plan these things ahead of time, promote it, build up the hype, and throw in some trashy advertising posters. There’s a formula here, folks, that needs to be followed for optimal success!

Rumor is they just got a container with 150 wheels and need time to ship them out to customers and then catch up on support emails, etc etc Exactly. Looks like I may get my MXS tomorrow (Saturday).

Hello, @Duf? @Marty Backe? Beuller? I'm driving back from San Francisco Sunday. Hoping to make in time for the Live Stream. There's really no rush in all this. Let things unfold naturally. On a somewhat related note, Ian has asked be to be on his new Livestream, to discuss the Z10. Maybe next week. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted July 27, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Those Brits are always trying to squeeze in on our territory! Plus they are supposed to go through your agent, namely moi, for bookings. Tryna avoid booking fees hey? Naturally? We got a brand to build here, Marty! There's nothing natural about it! If people want natural, go to the organic grocery store! We're all about prepackaged, highly processed, mega-sugar and preservative added super branding! Plus it's got electrolytes. That's what people want these days so we must cater to the "now" crowd. That plus more bikini videos. They get the most clicks! Trust me, Marty, I've watched several Youtubers, and this is how it gets done. Do we want to languish in the 35-40 viewer category? Heck no! See, Ian's stolen our idea of guest appearances already! They are monitoring this forum, I'm sure of it. Those pesky Brits. Edited July 27, 2018 by Hunka Hunka Burning Love 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait... didn't Hawking just die? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
