Popular Post Albatross Posted August 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2020 I had to say something about this. My family and I are in Florida right now for a vacation. My 9 year old, who is my top riding partner, also happens to be obsessed with everything and everyone YouTube. When we were planning the trip, I told him where we going and his question was if that’s where Duf from YouTube lives and if we can meet him. I laughed at it, but then wrote to Duf through the forum, asking if he would mind us come to see him. Well, to my surprise, he not only responded, but came up here today, brought a couple of wheels and we had ourselves an awesome group ride. Made my son very happy. I can’t express how impressed I am. Not everyone, will take time out of their day to go meet someone that you don’t know and let him and his 9 year old ride a couple of $2k wheels of his. Three takeaways from this experience: 1. Reinforced my faith in people. I know I would do the same, if someone from here was coming to Philly, but it’s a rarity nowadays, so I am impressed. 2. I’m definitely getting an MSX. This wheel has fucking blown my mind!!! 3. Duf is a stand up guy!!! 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebDev Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 That's great to hear. Duf seems like a real nice guy. The EUC community overall has really impressed me and I'm proud to be becoming a part of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 When I was discouraged and ready to give up learning to ride EUC, it was one of his Youtube videos that gave me inspiration to push through the frustration, pain and the black hole of despondency of learning and persevere. Now, EUCs are permanently attached to my feet and in harmonious, glorious balance, man and machine united as one cybernetic entity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroThruster Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) I watch a lot of his vids on youtube and really enjoy them, seems like a neat guy. Honestly, how many people would loan you their expensive wheel, says a lot about someone. Glad it was a nice trip!! For some reason, I'm craving Dunkin Donuts:) Edited August 24, 2020 by RetroThruster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still at n Florida, but just put a vintage Longines dive watch that I have in my collection up for sale. I’m determined to get an MSX!!! Either way, I’m selling shit, and hopefully will have the funds for an mxp in the next week or so. Does anyone know what the turn around time on ewheels for one?
