Dan Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 I have one, and I think at least one other forum member also has one. I'm ashamed to say I haven't taken it off-road yet, but it's a pretty fun ride on the road. Due to the two-wheel construction, there's no speed wobbles (at least, at any speed that I've gotten up to - my top is probably about 30 mph), and the brake is very confidence-enhancing. It's a super-stable ride but it's pretty much impossible to slide/drift on it, so it's a different beast from skateboard longboarding. The big drawbacks are that it's a b**** to carry around with you - it's just barely possible to push it on the flats. Also, I haven't done it yet, but it feels like it would be pretty easy to lean it over far enough to scrape and wreck. You're welcome to do a test ride if you ever happen to be in this neck of the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
