I still had 5 green dots at the end of it. Happily, it appears that I was concerned over nothing. ?? @Shangotunji I was surprised also with my kingsong when i got home i still have 78% battery and i check the ride total i ride for 21 miles i cannt believe it but it seems that if you take it easy on how you ride your EUC it makes the difference with the battery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieV Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) The DCESK8 crew hosted members of the NYC Eboarding Collective here in DC the weekend of November 3. At one point we had 80+ riders on the street at the same time comprised mostly of electric skateboarders but several EUCers were present as well as some escooters and OneWheelers. @Tishawn Fahie, a maniac on his Monster 100v, managed to capture some of the weekend's activities (while at the same time out-riding every single one of us) and produced one of his always-entertaining vids which was just released: Edited November 13, 2018 by RichieV 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 That was a seriously awesome video, I watched the whole thing =D , thanks for sharing. @RichieV, is that you in the white helmet? Also, those skateboards with the dune buggy wheels are cool, do you know what brand those are?

J.T. Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 So I'm getting a lot of interest by non-EUC, non-esk8, and non-OneWheel riders to join our group rides. What are people's thoughts on letting people rent one of those e-scooters and join us? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not actually sure why we would consider preventing them joining us, or care how they acquire a tool (legality assumed). Makes the groups bigger; the more the merrier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure to enforce safe riding habits when they join in the fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitched Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I've only seen rental euc's in NYC. Renting a bird or lime and joining along should be a lot cheaper than the rates I saw in NYC anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biped Phil Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Hey gang, it came to my attention that the skateboard shop in downtown Bethesda has (among other things of interest) at least 2 kinds of helmets with a jaw, including at least 1 with a windshield. I wish I had discovered this shop earlier! When I was looking for a helmet with a chin element, I searched high and low at a dozen bike shops, then I ordered from the internet, but the thing that came was the wrong shape for my head (whole-head helmets are a tighter fit), so I returned it and ordered a different kind, and it was all wrong too, and I returned it and ordered a third one. What an ordeal! Why suffer?! "Bethesda Boards". Woodmont Ave near the Metro station. I am not affiliated with the business, but now that I've discovered they're there, I hope they will prosper for as long as I need unicycling gear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, those skateboards with the dune buggy wheels are cool, do you know what brand those are? Yes, that's me in the white full-face helmet holding my own in the middle of the pack but not quite keeping pace with the speed demons. The skateboards with the dune buggy wheels, or all- terrain (AT) wheels, are from several makers; some are even DIY builds. A couple of the more prominent makers for high-end ($2.5k plus) skateboards which sport those AT wheels are Lacroix and Kaly.NYC. A number of riders in the video were on one of their offerings. In terms of performance, they can go just as far and just as fast (or faster) as an EUC but portability is an issue and so is maneuverability. Ernesto Clark of Kaly.NYC who is based in Brooklyn came down that weekend with some demo units for people to test ride; he's the one in the video showing amazement at his first encounter with DC's infamous jumbo slice. It seems it was a good move because since then four members of the DCESK8 crew have purchased Kaly skateboards! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a very active group, many times meeting up for different rides throughout the week; in fact there was a pretty sizeable group ride last night despite the cold weather, though I wasn't able to attend. There's a lively Telegram group (like an online chat room) which most of the members participate in; here's the link. If there's an impromptu ride, it'll show up in the chat so I encourage anyone who's interested to join in the Telegram group. @Neil (yanex), it was nice meeting you on Sunday We definitely need more EUC representation in the crew! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lutalo Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Hey, DMV riders. The DC Glydiators group is live so, please go to meet-up and join. My goal with Glydiators is to connect DMV EUC Enthusiasts by getting together to share events, group rides, wheels, war stories, and then ride some more. It's their Capitol, but it's our city so let's take over the streets of the Acropolis for some fun and adventurous city rides. If For some reason the provided link doesn't work you should be able to find it by going to Meet-up and typing in Glydiators. If you have a great DMV ride route in mind share it here and we can plan it. I am thinking of having the Inaugural ride in April with some earlier, more spontaneous get togetherswhenever winter weather permits. I am hoping for wide participation to bring our EUC community together. Esk8bd riders and e-scooter riders are welcome to ride with us anytime. Looking forward to good times Glydiators. Peace, Lutalo Edited January 4, 2019 by Lutalo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
