No prob! Summerboard really locked everything down from a mechanical and electrical perspective. They had a run of funky remotes like 1-2 years ago and similar with batteries. both of mine have been great though. They just revamped their motherboard and battery to a much more reliable system (which you have, if you just got your board) so you should be ALL GOOD! Happy shredding, be safe, and follow their tutorials- they are so helpful.

Hey bro, I have one and honestly I've been using my foamies a lot more than the footholds. The footholds are best for jumping, and higher speeds.

Thanks!!!

You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost…

@@yeti_riding5612 🤣 well played

Yes!! Going to see them next week 11/1/22

@@yeti_riding5612 Wowza, enjoy the show!

Hell yeah I’m still riding!! Just terrible about filming and editing videos, I don’t have the patience any more, hah! I have the new foamies and they are incredible, I love riding with them

@@yeti_riding5612 Im going to order them as soon as I get my board in, just was thinking its better to l;earn w the board stock

@@rhinomesk yeah it’s great to learn with no holds at all, but the foamies are such a small step up, and you can bail out of them no problem, which means you can go from learning to the foamies much quicker than transitioning to the regular footholds. IMO, Once you learn the rolling start and have that down well, you can go to the foamies no problem. Going too fast to the regular footholds can be problematic though

@@yeti_riding5612 I put the foamies on the very edge and I’m barely able to use them. I’m pretty new to this and I can ride just fine but is a wider stance even possible while being balanced.

@@Mally620 thanks for reaching out - I also like a wide stance and my foamies kinda hang off the edges near the toes (ducked stance) - is that not wide enough for you?

Yes, there is a speedometer on the remote! I like to cruise around 15 mph, which for me is a comfortable speed to spin and be able to run it out if I ever have to bail.

@@yeti_riding5612nice bro. Thanks for the info. I average around 7-10. Guess i gotta work my confidence back up to gain some speed after i had a bad crash a few months back

@@natraniel no way, just ride with what you’re comfortable with. Honestly I probably average 12mph

Holding up solid!!! Just got a (cold but fun) ride in last night. I need to post more videos. What happened with your current eBoard? My deck and plastic parts are still great.

@@yeti_riding5612 idk it's starting to lose power randomly around 60% battery. I'll be riding and it will beep like it turned itself off and on its a meepo board. But it's scary when I'm going faster than 18mph or so and it happens.

The summerboard is revolutionaryyy. Im into 6 months and its fun

You can go as fast as a downhill slope will carry you. On flat ground, the motors can go up to about 28 (for me at least). There's a decent little downhill in my local park where you can go 38 easily, but I don't do that. I got a buddy that does

@@yeti_riding5612 oh i mean just on plain street

@@rickosuavante3676 yeah, on flat ground it will go up to 28

Nah, I can do just about everything without footholds. They just give you more control and stopping power. Riding without the footholds is actually good because it forces you to balance a lot better.

I can't wait to try the new minimal footholds they are coming out with, called foamies

@@yeti_riding5612 thanks for that input. I was starting to think I would not improve unless I buy foothold. I'm getting better the thinner the wheels get

the maintenance isn't bad, just change the outer wheels every so often (they typically last me 3-5 months) and those are not expensive. The inner drive wheels last me over a year. If you have a warranty issue, SB will cover it. Its just a blast to ride

No, they're Leatt, but any shorts are great!

@@yeti_riding5612 right on, my sons wear Leatt for motocross. I just received my Amored Jeans by Lazyrolling.

I've seen a couple of videos of people who did that and they were able to comfortably ride around chill runs on their first day, and navigate the mountain. Pretty incredible, considering that you typically spend your first few days snowboarding on one bunny hill.

Yeah you get the same flexibility in movement

That is not necessary, motors always run forward. The caster wheels spin with you, and they do that automatically because the force of your weight and board movement pushes them into alignment

@@yeti_riding5612 Got it. I realised that might be the case from the wheel vertical alignment question below. You seem pretty comfy sliding, i guess the amount of slide is controllable by the amount of pressure on the "outrigger" wheels? Also, you mention stepping off below, but is that possible with those L-shaped brackets over your foot? I feel I would end up in a heap if I tried to leap off...on that point, can you face-plant, catch an edge??

@@ColindeSilva you have to start out really slow, just like anything, where you use just the board and not the L-shaped footholds. Once you get comfortable and able to jump off the board without the footholds, then you start to use the footholds and practice, then you can jump out of the footholds pretty easily. You can catch an edge, however the consequences aren't nearly as bad because you are not locked into the board like you are with boots and bindings on a snowboard. You can fall off any skateboard and wreck yourself pretty good though

No problem! SB is just incredible, it truly never loses that initial spark. I'm using leatt 3df knee pads & hip/butt pads, and wrist guards. When I do hardcore park riding, I get padded up. If I'm just running an errand or riding chill, I'll only use wrist guards. Helmet always, of course.

Thanks! Injuries are NOT inevitable - it's like anything, just ride within your limits (and a lot of people don't do that). That said, you should wear pads, in this video you can see my knee pads under my pants, and I wear wrist guards. I recommend that as a minimum, with a helmet of course.

@@yeti_riding5612 ok fair enough. I thought I could see the pads. Cheers and safe shredding

@@DigitalSamTV no problem. If I'm going to run a quick errand or something, I'll just throw a helmet on, but if I want to really shred, I'll use knee pads and wrist guards

@@yeti_riding5612 what wrist guards/knee pads do you ride? Curious as to keep the remote usable while having a guard. My summerboard is on its way, need to go shopping for some gear. :-)

@@travisroth4077 I really like Leatt gear (3df series) because it is slim and protects well. G-form (e-line series) is also a good option. I definitely recommend getting something with a hard shell outer (it can be thin), but you want it to be able to slide, not catch like a soft shell.

No way! When I ride in groups, other skaters are mesmerized by this board, they love it. Also, the amount that you weave (if you want to go straight) is not that much, and if you give the normal safe amount of space, that is plenty. Every time I show up for group rides with e skaters, this board is the star

I recorded myself with an Insta 360 camera... Trippy

Thanks! It's an insta 360

Get it man, it's so fun! You can start really slow with no hills, so it's easy to avoid eating shit. The only people who eat shit are the ones that get way overconfident too early and kook out - but you could apply that to pretty much anything

Nice!!! You're going to love it

No way, its more like 9-12 miles depending on weight.

Board doesn't care what direction you go in, it can accelerate in any direction. It doesn't know goofy from regular 🤘 go crazy

Yeah I need to do that, it's been over a year now that I've had it. I ride the hell outta this thing, and still learning new stuff all the time

@@yeti_riding5612 cool, good to hear it's still holding up a year later. with maintenance im sure

@@kaznerRichter913 maintenance is pretty minimal - on par with a bicycle or other personal vehicle. I hardly ever touch it other than switching outer wheels as they wear down.

like anything - you got to ride responsibly

Really depends on how rough the terrain is - the freshies drive wheels really help with that. You can ride straight, just like on a snowboard

On the summerboard web site. Check out the freshies, those are the soft version of the drive wheel

Yeah, going down a hill you don't need the motors. The park I ride at is uphill from my house, which is great because multiple times I have drained my battery and made it home on gravity

Oh yeah it will - top speed is 40 km/h. I usually cruise at about 24-28 km/h. In this video I'm doing about 24.

@@yeti_riding5612 thanks a lot dude! That was literally my only concern before buying into it! I'm legit stoked, 24-30kmh and you can freely do a power slide with way less drag?

@@christianalegre5724 yeah, drag depends on how much weight you put on your edge. Once you get more skilled at riding on your Center wheels, then you don't put much weight on your edges, which means less outer wheel wear and also means less drag and speed reduction.

Use their app for android or iphone, it's really easy. Remote come pre paired though

Joe, do you need a hug?

Do you mean like mechanical failures or like someone high sides and breaks their face because they are in binding on a summerboard anyway?

@@lumberjackthirsttrap3676 I think he means electrical failures, but that hasn't been an issue for quite some time. In the first run (fall 2019) they had some battery fails which required swapping out a small component, but that was fixed about a year ago.

@@yeti_riding5612 so I’m thinking about getting a summerboard or evolve gtr , I tried a one wheel didn’t care for it. I like to snowboard and downhill/free ride on Valhalla longboards. Any suggestions?

Also can you catch and edge or high side on a summerboard because that sounds deadly

YES build quality is top notch. They had a run of decks that had cracking and I saw that they shipped new decks to those customers. They take care of their riders 1000%. My board takes a beating and just keeps going. I've heard others say this, and I'm the same - I cant go back to a world without this board!

@@yeti_riding5612 since you’ve had the board for a year now, what part did you have to repair/replace? thank you

@@jackieliu1232 I've had the board for about a year and a half. Early on I had to replace a battery component (they sent it to me and I did it myself with a screwdriver) but they resolved that problem quite some time ago. Since then, I've only replaced wheels when they wear down, and a couple of belts (seriously, maybe two belts over this whole time).
