Razor Crazy Cart XL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SYKYAI6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wO0dBbE5253B1

You can probably do it cheaper tho if you find a used one.

$700. We'll both keep hurting, I guess.

u/khronyk · 31 pointsr/australia

Have you had a look at Auspost's prices for this service?

$24.95 base price + $5.95 for every 500g...

lets look at a typical skateboard on amazon... free shipping to the US which is nice... 5 pounds weight (2.27kg) ... charged at 2.5KG with the base weight that is $54.7 for shipping. That's the minimum, It could be higher if the cubic weight is higher than the actual weight. (Height x length x width ÷ 5,000 = cubic weight)....

I'm just not sure how the value of this service stacks up against other forwarding companies.

Edit: Btw amazon does ship that item to Australia and put the shipping costs at AUD 23.72 and shipito's calculator says $46.49 is the cheapest option for 2.3kg.

Order these bearings instead. Better than stock and the same price:

u/ryansliv · 5 pointsr/NewSkaters

You don’t necessarily need a skate tool, you could use a socket wrench to take the wheel off. But having a tool will be very handy. I’m not sure what brand is the best, I have one similar to this one and it gets the job done

u/HobbsEpic · 5 pointsr/longboarding

Wrist injuries are really common when just starting out. When I was learning I always wore these Triple 8 wrist guards. Most people wear slide gloves for hand protection, but they don't have any wrist support.

u/bphamftr · 4 pointsr/longboarding

I need help with choosing a new wheel. I'm still new to longboarding and my sister bought me this http://www.amazon.com/Atom-Longboards-91003-Pintail-Longboard/dp/B002KD4YRA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394563349&sr=8-1&keywords=atom+pintail+longboard for my birthday! I live in a neighborhood where there are plenty of small rocks on the streets and cracks in the sidewalks. I know that my board comes with a 65mm and a 78a wheel, but I feel like if I get better wheels I will be able to handle my street better. I just plan on cruising around and not doing tricks anytime soon. Thank you.

u/gmazzola · 4 pointsr/flying

I just got back from a month-long camping trip from San Francisco to Alaska. In addition to 150 pounds of camping gear, I carried two folding bikes in a Cessna 172. I removed the rear seats to allow for more cargo space.

I own a Schwinn 20-inch bike and a Dahon Vitesse bike. The Dahon fits nicely in the baggage compartment, though I had to remove its luggage rack to get it through the baggage door. The Schwinn takes some maneuvering, but I was able to load it through the front doors.

It was a little unpleasant to unpack and repack the airplane -- it took about an hour each time, given how much gear I had. But oh man, the folding bikes were invaluable.

If your on-the-ground distances are smaller, and the roads are paved well, I would consider carrying a Razor scooter instead of a folding bike. It doesn't travel as fast, and there's no shock absorbers so your wrists will get tired, but it's about the easiest and most portable ground transportation I own.

u/AreasonableAmerican · 4 pointsr/onewheel

My minimum is a helmet and wrist guards. After my crap Chinese wristies started falling apart, I took another rider's advice and went to Hillbilly.

​

Hope you heal up quickly, friend!

http://www.amazon.com/ATOM-91003-Atom-Pintail-Longboard/dp/B002KD4YRA

$79.95 for the board, it is very doubtful you can afford leathers if thats what you spend on your board. I see on their website that the most expensive one is 120 dollars(excluding hybrid and electric).

From how little damage there was I doubt it was 40MPH as well, there would be a few more layers of skin taken off, there would also be more damage to his shorts considering the fabric itself is probably a loose woven cotton. Cotton doesnt survive against roads too well. I highly doubt that board could make it to 25mph before getting severe wobbles unless there were aftermarket trucks/bearings/bushings

u/bobdole776 · 4 pointsr/NewSkaters

Question, how long did it take for your balance to get really good on the board? First day on it I went from falling off in seconds to some decent cruising after a couple hours of practice. I'm currently able to cruise around pretty good but can't stop looking at my feet when I kick; guess the best way to beat that is to force myself to stop looking...

My biggest problem right now is still balance and really kicking. I'm in really good shape as a runner, but wear out super fast with how hard I kick and how often I gotta do it. Currently riding on slimeball 58mm 97's with bones red bearings. I did order some [ceramic bearings](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075QLMQW6 /ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) today hoping when I put them in I get some longer rides. It could also be the surfaces I've been riding on as well. Best ride I've had so far is on some fresh blacktop at the college I work at. Did practice at first in the parking garage top floor away from cars, but holy crap they did the concrete bad up there and its choppy as hell!

Thinking I'll take this other guys suggestion and go hit up my local skate park at 5am this saturday to beat the crowd and just cruise around.

Oh, and 30 YO new skaters unite!

If I understand correctly, and I may not, it is a device that controls an electronic skateboard? Amazon link.

u/robertgfthomas · 3 pointsr/washingtondc

Might want to consider getting a kick scooter. I just bought this one and on Friday rode it all the way from Bethesda to the Roosevelt Memorial via the Capital Crescent Trail, and then all over the city.

I like scooters because they're easier to use than bikes, safer, and infinitely more portable. You always have one foot close to the ground so the likelihood of wiping out is extremely small. You can push off the ground with your kicking foot and easily go over curbs and other obstacles with barely a pause. Razor scooters fold up almost instantly so you can carry them on the Metro and stash them anyplace in an office. Plus, they're much cheaper and easier to maintain than a bike.

Of course they don't go as fast as a bike, but I can easily go at least twice as fast as jogging speed with hardly any work.

u/ethereal_plane · 3 pointsr/rollerblading

No, something designed to both absorb impact and prevent flexing. Like these at a minimum: https://www.amazon.com/Triple-Saver-Wristsavers-Black-Small/dp/B0000DZIK1/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1481674687&sr=8-3&keywords=wrist+guards

There's also "glove" type ones, and even some ridiculously thick ones for the downhill skater guys who intentionally drag their hands on pavement for control in highs-speed turns.

I've always used the "splint" style ones like the ones I linked above. They've saved my wrists in several falls. Important: no wrist-guard will completely prevent injury if you fall directly onto your hands badly enough. That's why the "learn to tuck and roll" advice above is so important. Ultimately that's what will prevent fractures.

I haven't done a thorough product research and I have not ridden an electric scooter for more than 5 minutes. So I do not have the qualifications or experience to actually make a recommendation:

But here's the cheap option, and I have seen a bunch of these around town:

https://www.amazon.com/GOTRAX-GXL-Commuting-Electric-Scooter/dp/B07K9MB6X1

And here's the luxury option, which I have never seen but is always talked about as being awesome:

https://www.amazon.com/Glion-Foldable-Lightweight-Electric-Scooter/dp/B018KTMOPG/?tag=aboutcom02lifewire-20&ascsubtag=4158652%7Cgoogle.com%7C%7C%7C70%2C9%2C75%2C86%2C29%2C77%7C1%7C

TBF, I don't think they are death traps if ridden with a helmet, and operated in a safe manner by someone with a little practice and who stays aware of traffic.

u/chrnaf · 3 pointsr/boostedboards

I'm really confused with this comment... I got the same skate tool with my stealth and my Mini X. It has the hex key (the stick), the L shaped smaller hex key, and the third (larger) piece that the stick is housed in. The larger piece has 2 hex sockets, one on each end... and it fits the wheel nut perfectly. THe larger (other) side of it fits the kingpin nut perfectly. The little L shaped hex key fits the brackets for wheel cover's 2 screws.


The setup was identical on both boards. It comes with everything you need to change the wheels and the belts. The stealth even came with spare belts, though my Mini X did not. Hit me up if you have questions brother, you should be good to go for changing out the wheels.


Also:


If you want to buy the same exact tool that they advertise the process with on their videos:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RUBY1C/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Grab the 3mm and 4mm version and also one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072LY5824/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

The quality on all of those is fantastic. Lastly, I highly recommend a bit of Frog Lube paste for your pivot cup and bushings, just a very thin coat will lubricate your trucks for buttery smooth turns, and it smells like wintergreen lifesavers. :)

​

Yes, I know what Froglube was made for, it also happens to be a perfect product for skate applications LOL. Active duty Marine, had a lot in stock and needed a basic lubricant for those pivot cups. It was like the stuff was made for this!

u/Spamdini3 · 3 pointsr/ucla

If you're willing to carry it around, a midsize scooter is both faster and more maneuverable than a skateboard or longboard. I use one of these and can get from Rieber Terrace to La Kretz in about 10 minutes. The downhill speed when compared to a board is much higher since you can break much later.

u/EdgarAllanPoo69 · 2 pointsr/ElectricSkateboarding

Longboard Nose Guard by Griffin Boards https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MXVL9VR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_T-uGybFK3AJA3

I'm fairly certain it's this one.

Any updates from Inboard on your board?

u/wondermonkey_ · 2 pointsr/teenagers

Fo real do, don't get that longboard it's cheap and it will break and not be fun, get one like this which is good, but I still recommend doing the research and buying your own parts on amazon and putting it together but if you're set on a complete get the one I linked. On the other things you could buy, you could get these

u/sarj5287 · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

This so I don't splatter my brain everywhere when I bail longboarding.

u/spartysteve98 · 2 pointsr/msu

I have this one because at the time of purchase the Xiaomi could only be found for $600 on aliexpress (it was sketchy + long wait time) whereas I could buy this Glion on amazon that is american made and comes with a 1 year warranty and have it shipped in 2 days. The Glion is great because it folds up nicely and it can stand up straight as well as it’s impossible to get a flat tire. I’ve read that flats on the Xiaomi are a nightmare to change. If I had to do it over and purchase one right now I would get the Xiaomi though especially since it’s only $400 on Amazon.

u/couzie · 2 pointsr/ElectricSkateboarding

I use these https://www.amazon.com/Triple-Saver-Wristsavers-Black-Small/dp/B0000DZIK1/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525034955&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=triple%2Beight%2Bwrist%2Bguards&dpPl=1&dpID=51TOwCKDnhL&ref=plSrch&th=1&psc=1 they are super cheap and feel good, havent gone down yet but I think they will hold up well. As for gloves just look for some cheap motocross gloves off or revzilla or something. I got a pair on sale for around $10.

u/Afdrmgt · 2 pointsr/FigureSkating

Yeah, I'd definitely recommend getting wrist guards. I use these: https://smile.amazon.com/Triple-Saver-Wristsavers-Black-Small/dp/B0000DZIK1

​

I wear wrist guards when I'm working on something new and it's unpredictable how I'll fall, but when I first started skating as an adult I just wore them all the time. A tailbone pad is also helpful. I see some adults wearing helmets too. These things won't necessarily save you from a bad fall (although there have been times when I've fallen hard on my hands and the wrist guards probably prevented injury) but hopefully they'll give you confidence and make it more likely you'll get comfortable with the ice and falling properly to reduce your risk of injury.

u/Aarkh · 2 pointsr/ElectricSkateboarding

Pads I've really liked these for the value.

Butt/hip

I feel like hips are under talked about. After my first fall I got these. My hips were the most bruised up part. Even months later I can feel it.

u/poorlyexecutedjab · 2 pointsr/unicycling

For touring, I'll wear a helmet, wrist guards, and knee pads as I tend to ride in traffic. I'm confident of my skills, but drivers have proven time and again how reckless they are, especially in my urban environment. When riding in bicycle/pedestrian only areas, I'll typically wear just the wrist guards.

Definitely go for the wrist guards and decent knee pads. I've never come close to hitting my head from an unplanned dismount. For reference, I have the Hillbilly Half Finger Wrist Guards. They're slightly cheaper at Amazon than unicycle.com.

u/stoperror · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

You seem rather accident prone, brother. Might I suggest one of these, before it is too late.

u/nofear220 · 2 pointsr/videos

You can safely bet the XL barely costs much more to manufacture, but they want to try and cash in big on the adult market. I remember when the original kid-size only product was released and there was a crazy amount of support for an adult sized version on every video comment section.

This adult version will probably be a failed product because the $700 USD price point is simply too high for most people to justify when the slightly smaller version is less than half the price. Did I mention it costs over $1600 in Canada?

u/Waldo226 · 2 pointsr/longboarding

I'm pretty new to longboarding, and I just started going down hills and it's a blast. The only issue I'm having is the only way I know how to stop is to jump off, and I'm almost positive there's a better way to go about stopping. Any tips?

Here is my board in case that matters.

u/well_ima_comedian · 2 pointsr/boostedboards

No worries, our brains are something worth obsessing over. This whole ordeal reminded me of how fragile our minds and bodies really are. I grew up biking and skating and never had an accident like this. Here is the helmet I use, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007CMDS6M?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
I was also wearing jeans and a hoodie and gloves. I need to go back to the place of the accident and check out the sidewalks, lighting, etc. to see if something could have been a major factor. I haven't been back on the board yet but I powered it up and ran it upside down and everything looks and sounds normal.

u/gtj · 2 pointsr/NewSkaters

I'm 42. I bought these last year. Best money I've ever spent. Pretty discrete, too. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004IUJEDW/

u/k_cm · 2 pointsr/3Dprinting

As a lurker of this subreddit I finally have some insight to share. I thought I'd make a list to make things easier for you (save you and maybe others some of the headaches I went through). I also picked this printer up on sale, but for $700 and have been working on it on and off for the past 5 months. In the beginning the printer drove me crazy and I hated it, but after all the upgrades and mods I love this thing! My print quality is almost on par with a printer 3x the price.

My first piece of advice is to read this forum post. This gives good examples and settings for the printer in Slic3r.
http://forum.velleman.eu/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=11410

The first upgrade I'd highly recommend is a new hotend. This is the one I'm using and it's fantastic.
http://e3d-online.com/E3D-v6/Metal-Only/v6-3mm-Direct-Metal-Only

and a smaller nozzle
http://e3d-online.com/E3D-v6/Extra-Nozzles/v6-Extra-Nozzle-3.00mmx0.25mm

If you do decide to upgrade here is the hotend mount
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:349095

Another upgrade I'd recommended is replacing the ball bearings in the extruder.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BBGTK6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Other purchases that will help in the future are Kapton tape and more Thermistors (both of mine broke after the first month)

Kapton
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049KTIAU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thermistors
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GD471PO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That's it for must purchase upgrades. The next step to do once the printer is built is fix the z axis. Here are the parts I'm currently using.

Motor mount
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:236429

A new flex coupler ( I know a metal one might work slightly better, but I printed one just to test it and its worked perfectly so far)
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:274188

Middle part of the z axis.
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:235494

The top part of the z axis that holds the ball bearing.
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:135151

An optional upgrade which I enjoyed, was replacing the worthless z home switch screw with a micrometer.

Micrometer
http://www.sears.com/skill-tech-1-in-micrometer-replace-40773/p-00940774000P?prdNo=6&blockNo=6&blockType=G6

and mount
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:346613

All of this will significantly improve the print quality. You'll be surprised what your first print looks like vs one after the upgrades. This printer IS a project, it's definitely not a "build and play" printer. But the unlimited potential and upgrades makes it far more worth it than a prebuilt printer, in my opinion. Hope this helps! If you have any questions just ask. Good luck!


u/PaulJP · 2 pointsr/3Dprinting

I'll try to remember to upload the model somewhere later (remind me if interested). A couple of my spools are 5kg, so I made a custom adjustable spool holder. Prints in about an hour, just needs four 22mm bearings.

It's basically a "rack" base (like the rack from a rack and pinion), with 2 plates that snap in vertically between "teeth". Each plate has 2 spindles that match the ID of a bearing. Then there are 4 "wheel guides" that snap on to the OD of the bearing, with a lip to guide the spool to stay on the bearing.

Could use some extra reinforcement on the vertical plates, but it's done pretty well for around 20-30 hours of printing with it thus far.

I was thinking perhaps this one for one of my brats and something like this for the other. Ages 13 and 6...but I know basically nothing about skateboards. Back in the day, I dated a guy who rode a Double Vision board, but that was more years than I care to count! The reviews look good, but I'm a freelance writer and see jobs posted all the time for "review writing," so I am a bit hesitant to trust those by themselves.

Purple orangotang nipples. It's enough spring to come out of a turn easily, you can carve well enough, and I haven't gotten speed wobbles in awhile. We're roughly the same weight, though I do ride with a backpack usually, so I'm a bit closer to 200 lbs while riding.

Be warned: I bought the conversion kit thinking it would work with these MBS all-terrain wheels... it does not.

Apparently it previously did, but MBS changed their core design. I was advised by SR that I can make the conversion kit pulleys fit by slightly filing down the pieces that fit into the wheel core) but I assume that might make it an insecure fit for their wheels such as the Foamies.

It was a comment meant partly seriously (see my other comment about CH₄; I'd welcome a reputable source that says that CH₄ quantities in permafrost and below the oceans are actually in the "known" category and not in the "unknown" category), and partly as a tongue-in-cheek reminder that there's more at stake here than whether this single new transportation option proves viable or not.

I'd really like to read a study about the impact of scooters on existing transit systems but I'm sure it's still too early for that. At one point I considered getting one myself as there are some very compact models out there. Having one that I could fold up and take onto a bus would really increase the effective range of my city's bus system (for me, anyway). I don't ride the bus often, but having one similar to this -- which has the incredibly simple design advantage of an extendable handle for wheeling while folded -- would change that. I still think about it.

Ceramic Bearings

I have tried them all and these are hands down the best you can buy for the money.

I won’t use any other bearings in my skates.



If you don’t want ceramic, I recommend these as an excellent alternative at an incredible price.

u/VenomousSVT · 1 pointr/boostedboards

I agree, loosen the wheel nut 1/4 turn. It shouldn't have any side to side play but it will likely loosen up on the side load on the bearings and may fix that issue

as for bearings, if you decide to upgrade, flatland 3d sells some and amazon has the Acer ceramic bearings

Would these trucks (9” axle ones) work with both these wheels (unsure about these i’m trying to keep the cost down without sacrificing quality too much and i’ve read good things about these) and this board ?

i’ve posted here before and some great suggestions and info but I tend to over research everything and this is no exception. If anyone has any better suggestions for trucks and wheels that would work for that board and not break the bank that’d be great!

Thanks in advance for any help!

Normally, the weight limit recommendation is directly related to the amount of power it will consume to move the scooter, so the battery usage and maximum range will be affected as a result of that. However, you also have to consider whether or not the frame can handle the additional weight.

That being said, I would more recommend a scooter that has a stronger frame, less welded parts, or just one that specifically states it can accommodate a higher weight limit.

That being said, the Glion Dolly has a max rider limit of 255 lbs. and the Uberscoot is at 265 lbs.

Hello all, I was wondering if you guys could give a recommendation on some impact shorts for snowboarding. I have narrowed it down to 4 based upon price and availability to me in Vancouver.

The creme of the crop seems to be skeletools and azzpadz, but those are a little hard to get a hold of, as far as I can tell, in Vancouver.

So if you could either recommend one of the four I have pre-selected, or if you think I'm way off base on something and letting me know. My budget is $150.

  1. You can find a quality helmet just about anywhere, [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Triple-Brainsaver-Rubber-Helmet-Sweatsaver/dp/B007CMDRV8/ref=sr_1_3?s=outdoor-recreation&ie=UTF8&qid=1449025882&sr=1-3&keywords=skateboard+helmet) is a decent looking helmet, nothing too special. But don't forget to add these amazing stickers to the sides.

  2. Haven't personally tried them, but these BoardBlazers seem to be good quality lights, Casey Neistat has a video on the BoostedBoard in general and shows the lights off.

  3. By tips and tricks I'm assuming you mean things like the regenerative braking. Boosted's Tip Tuesday on Pinterest is a good place to start(If not, go check out /r/longboarding for longboard tricks, although it isn't advised because of the motor/battery)

    If you don't understand something, don't be afraid to ask!

I linked this recently. The last picture is with the all terrain tires. I recommend getting it on Amazon over eBay so you can grab the warranty. He also lists a different drive gear kit, I'll link the other one. You could also mount it on a different deck. The one big drawback is the single motor.

I ordered both last week. Wowgo shipped within two days, nothing yet on the Meepo (as expected). I've also emailed with both, and Kieran has better english than Jason, they are not the same guy. Jason claims Wowgo is using the same components as the current meepo with two exceptions. Wowgo is using shielded bearings to help with water resistance (https://www.amazon.com/Skateboard-Bearings-Double-Shielded-Silver/dp/B002BBGTK6), and Wowgo batteries are reportedly from the "same supplier" but a "bigger factory" than Meepo's batteries (Samsung cells). Same warranty.

Jason said he did a range test on a Wowgo and got 16.5 miles and he weighs 150lbs. Obviously these range tests vary wildly based on about a million factors, but that's what he said.

So that's all I know at the moment. If everything else is equal, I would order a Wowgo just for the shipping time, but there is no definite answer on if they really are the same yet or not, only speculation. A friend of mine is going to buy my Meepo when it comes so I don't plan on owning both, but I should still be able to compare them.

Edit: Jason from Wowgo also said they would be raising their prices, so I assume both boards will be more expensive eventually. The Meepo has had several price increases since launch.

It’s preference I wear 10.5 and I use a 8.25” board. It depends on what you wanna skate for street and technical skating use 7.5-8, for bowl only use 8.5-9, and for both use 8-8.75. For something good on Amazon I’d say your best bet for all around skating is:Powell Peralta has good cheap skate boards or this Flight deck known to be almost indestructible

I'm running MBS 100mm wheels on mine and I love it. Those wheels are better suited to higher speed in uneven surfaces due to convex profile. Less effective in carving perfectly smooth surfaces than Kegel, but in speeds around 20mph MBS wheels feel great. The top speed is around 26mph with a hit on accel and brake distance. I got used to it.

I would love to see wheels/hubs like the rough stuff wheels on the slickrevolution boards. The center part works well on smooth paths and the rest works well on the slightly rougher terrain : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mbs-All-Terrain-Longboard-Wheels/dp/B074G95LP5/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_200_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=MTWWM6K644743MD9F4FS

What accessories should I buy now to have when my BBV2 comes in?

I've already got the Triple 8 Brainsaver helmet but what are some good options for a wall-mount, backpack that can carry the board, etc?

This isn’t a replacement for a full set of knee pads, wrist guards, knee pads etc. However I just nose dived at very high speeds on pavement, and these pieces of gear plus a good tuck and roll let me walk away with just a few scratches.

I got a triple8 helmet (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007CMDRV8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) but I don't know if it's worse than others, as I have not yet fallen badly and bumped my head hard against the floor or anything like that. Also, I got this (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000DZIK1/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) for wrist guard, they had a package with elbow and knee guard, but I didn't get that one, and got just the wristguard.

As is, right out of the bag, I can get maybe 10 seconds. Once I clean and polish the bearings, I can get it up to a minute. Tomorrow, I'm going to increase the polishing time and clean it out a little better and see how much I can get the time up to.

Have you considered a Powell deck?
