It's here by default Rollo
www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Stand-Up-Paddle/Street-SUP/

Must be massively high geared which is why he had to push up to speed before kicking the electric in..

I've done 108km/h(max speed) on a snowboard and that was frightening as ****... Can't imagine how scary it would be on a skateboard, with no easy way to stop.

That's funny. 1 thread about a bloke feeling terrible because he could of accidentally killed a kid and then another thread with a skateboarder doing 30 -50mph in traffic.

I think gravelrash would be the least of HIS worries. BUT what about the driver who's car he goes under?

I'll get red thumbed but lately I've had a lot of close calls with the resurgence of skateboarding. No brakes, no helmets no problems?

I grew up skateboarding but the streets were quiet and as for riding on a major rd we understood physics better than the guy in the clip. Sure he probably has a "braking " system with the electric motor but that only stops the board not him.

I'm all for Darwinism but not when you involve innocent people.

Skaters brake faster then everything. Throw it sideways and you will pull up faster then push bikes, maybe ever some cars.

LDP. It's all about LDP. How can anyone on this forum into board sports NOT enjoy carving on a LDP board?

Roe Mermaid with Don't Trip Poppies will be my next one. Lemon and lime Big Zigs. Classic.

Or, to be freaky. Sk8tekings Blaster with x2 trucks.


Board porn - yeeeewwwww!

I had a ride of Gdogs home made electric skateboard in cairns. Holy hell that thing is wild. 60km apparently it gets too.

Inevitably, this comment will get red thumbed, but isn't Seabreeze about "water" and "wind" sports?

Electric boards & water don't mix - literally.

if your blender is sufficiently powerful, they probably do

Anyway I'd like a foil section if we're putting in requests. (foils are more than racing)
