I would suggest carrying a finger Bell to alert people walking. It gives them the heads up at the same time potentially avoid someone turning into you when you're passing them
Ooh, if someone could integrate that into a remote!
in most of my videos, you will hear me announcing to people "passing on your left" just something I picked up from mountain biking. The problem is too many people are out there with headphones playing too loud to hear traffic so even a bell is useless against them.
I learned this one the hard way ! I tried pass a bike for some reason he moved from his lane i crash into him at ~35kph.. luckily i had my full face on and my knees pads bit i fucked up ankle. I have a weakness in this ankle since then
Airhorns work as well, more fun too - wait 'til you're close. 😁
...no-no-no just jokin', juuust jokin'! ... 😉
you can get a small speaker and play this on a loop ruclips.net/video/30QzJKCUekQ/видео.html
What I learned after riding a Revel kit for 700 miles:
1. Careful with the acceleration (sprained my right ankle bad)
2. Watch out for potholes (scrapped hands and ripped pants)
3. Wear a helmet (I probably wouldn't be alive after landing on my head)
4. Other people on the road are idiots (they will cause you to swerve or crash)
#4 is a big one unfortunately 😅
#1 maybe but not for me im pro
#2 also watch out for rocks I was riding at night and i didnt see rocks and i was speeding up speeding up to 25 mph and i fell right across from a factory named hydro, they one of them helped me with injuries pants ripped but non serious no helmet also lol
#3 true too
I got some extra tips:
A) Learn to bail, its not a matter of if, its a matter of when
B) Slow down when you need to do a complete stop, always be ready to foot brake, your controller could disconnect, dont depend on it
C) Be mindful of your speed, I'm not saying dont go fast, but always be ready for the unexpected
how can it disconnect ? the board stop accelerating if it disconnect? thank you!
Great video Ronnie! One thing I've noticed with myself, I sometimes feel awkward kick pushing my board (which I sometimes do this to conserve battery), need to practice that more.
Just get more time on board and take it at your own pace
a lot of electric boards are taller as well, which makes pushing more difficult than on a lower board.
Don’t overload your back pack… it will move ur center of balance …consequently double tap ur back on bumps and forward you go off the board at 20 mph… did that last week haha…ouch!
Dude yes! Skating is so much harder with a heavy backpack
@@RonnieSarmiento yeah! last week i bought 12pcs of corona beer on a backpack. A little break makes my body wobble but not the board. @ B-one Titan 2wd. Godbless you kabayan, greetings from Japan.
Eh, I wouldn't say don't do it period. Just know your skill level, take it easy, etc.
Glad to see u back with eskate content 🤟🏽 Cant wait to see more bro stay safe out there
Thanks for the advice. Totally new. I skated some when I was a kid and actually got really interested in eskating when I tried my brother's One Wheel. I am a little late to the game, already in my 40s but Id like to get into an activity that I can do with my kids someday. I have twin boys who are interested in riding their scooters, bikes, and yes even their uncle's one wheel. Again, thanks for making this video.
I love this guy! He encourages and supports others to ride skateboards just been making Videos!
Hey bro! What a fantastic video! This is as real as you can get and 100% so true on everything you explained! Well done man! 👊🏽🤙🏽
I appreciate it, mark!
I just ordered a backfire g2 black and is super excited to get it and shred I'm 33 and skated for 7 years when I was a teenager but never touched a longboard but I did love bombing the big hills on the way to my favorite skate spots so I'm eager to feel the joy skateboarding once brought me again in my life ❤️
Just got my backfire g2 black and those things are awesome
SUPER glad you made this video Ronnie! You really cover the bases. Learning to fall and the importance of pads are paramount when I show a newbie eskates for the 1st time: the run off is 1st, then know how to roll (& practice until it’s just in the nervous system) then know how to slide on hands/knees. 3 essential techniques for various speed blowouts.
Also, in my experience, people damage hands & wrists 1st when they go down. Wrist guards have prevented multiple broken/sprained wrists since I started eskating. Keep up the good work man! Glad to see you back on the board!
It’s not a matter of if, but when you fall right?
@@RonnieSarmiento Still healing my broken shoulder. Owwwie.
I had never fallen off a board before, but the one time I did (running into a stone) I rolled automatically. Thank jeebus I did parkour for so long (I was only wearing a vest too and didn't even get any scratches)
Just bought my first Eboard... a Meepo V5....This video came in very handy Thanks!
I brought my 1st Eboard because of you from Backfire. I’ve had it for 2 years and put countless miles on it. Taken care of it just like you recommended in all your vids. Works like a charm! Thanks Ronnie!
i had problems with my inyrid but thats with the esc but its fun owned for like a year almost
Backfire is trash. Bail from that company asap.
@@KudaBear-gj9br why?!? the board has treated me good . Never had to deal with company.
Warranty never really existed as far as I knew going in.
I got a G2T I feel like they where made well.
Parts are still available from Backfire.
I’m sad now. Lol
😝
Nah but for real are they ending up like Boosted?
They are still going strong. They just suck. Their customer service is garbage, and the quality of their boards is poor. You can get a much better board for the money from Tynee or Acedeck. @@ytmaxxammo8591
Nearing the end of the video with comparison and price between board. it helped clear my mind up about the next board im about to get. for that I just wanna say Thank you :D
Great video as always Ronnie. I have about 3000 miles on my boards now and here's one thing I noticed... When I use a Salomon hiking shoe with raised treads I feel less vibration on my feet if I go for long rides compared to a typical Vans or other "skate" shoe.
Probably cause there is more cushion. Some street skaters remove the insoles of their shoe so there is even less cushion for more board feel
If you've never worn a high top and pulled your laces uncomfortably tight and ridden your mind will be blown... That Said I think any athletic shoe with the laces pulled super tight just pulled those laces tight I think is a good rule of thumb
Awesome video!! Great advice and tips!!! Comparison is the thief of joy. 😅 I am worried to be judged and it stops me from going out during some hours as I’m quite new lol. Greg content will be watching all your vids! Thanks for posting
Awesome video again my dude, solid tips for people entering the hobby!
Thank you, Drew!
Thanks Ronnie! I'm getting back into skateboarding after a long lay off and really like your video.
It's really fascinating and cool how electric skateboards have become so popular and available that many people trying them have never skated or haven't skated in a long time.
Love you man you have a right soul
Mistakes ive seen a few friends do (and get seriously hurt) is not knowing what you and your board are capable off. theres some cracks and turns that you just cant pull off easily and knowing what to do in those situations can save your life. THERES NO SHAME IN WALKING FOR A FEW SECONDS IF YOU DONT THINK U CAN GO PAST SOMETHING
I don't own an eSkate (yet) but I LOVE the points you make in your video. I own a OneWheel and all the points you make apply to OneWheel riders as well, ESPECIALLY ... the points you make in #14 and #15. I've been riding my OneWheel for about a year (as of Dec) and I got very tired of all the negative and toxic posts I've seen over the year.
Thank You! 😃🤙
Epic #9 “comparing is the thief of joy”. So rad. Thank you. Just started downhill Longboarding and got my first eboard. Got all my gear, after I had noob wipeout on custom aluminum board on steep hill😂, too include downhill helmet. I’m a climber and chose this skateboard thing was for rest days-interesting now I need a rest day from my rest day. 😆
On point. Well done 🤘
Thank you sir’ very helpful for beginners
Thanks, that was very informative.
My buddy sent me here, loved the tips. I just bought my first board about 2 weeks ago. This video helped me think about some details that should help me better my riding experience. Liked and subscribed! Thank you!
I appreciate you tuning in, Eric. Hope you learn a lot!
Which boars did you buy :D
Awesome vid brah, keep up the narly work
so, i actually have an electric skateboard too. each time i pass a certain neighbor, all the kids chase me down and try to ask me how im moving without pushing for long periods of time. they think of me like a wizard.
Keep the magic alive 😂
Wise advice, and NOT just for beginners either… Thanks Ronnie…
Great video and def was a nice reminder to stop comparing my generally stock Onewheel with other and other riders with how much better they are then me and hopefully to push myself to look at the group ride scene in NYC to get out to them soon! Love the vid and hopefully you come out to NYC for a ride one day
I’d love to come out some time soon
So this popped up after a different eskate video. And being a veteran skateboarder, I was about to change it, but this is really great for beginners 🤓
Even though I already practice a majority of these myself, your video is so awesome, man, I really enjoyed it 👌
My favorite tip is the de-weighting. Such a valuable skill that beginners may have never grasped or even conceptualized.
Nice work, buddy 🤝
I think this is the video that we all needed as beginners! The only tip i really want is how to get more comfortable when riding on a board. That sense of speed with nothing around you can be intimidating at first. It even made me want to get bigger wheels for better handling of bumps.
Time. You gotta spend more time on your board in all speed modes and even just kick pushing it
the moment you get too comfortable or over confident is when you will get hurt, being comfortable is one thing but it's good to always be extremely aware of surroundings and upcoming hazards. get low when u see them to avoid high speed wobble.
Just got my Backfire g2 black yesterday and it is my new favorite thing. I am 13 and new to eskating but have some experience on longboards. Thanks for all your help
I've been neglecting learning to foot push and foot brake.. Thanks ronnie will try to learn this weekend!
Good luck 👍
Great videos btw Ron!
great video as always!
Just bought my first eboard. I've been messing around with my non electric board. Can't wait to go on some rides!!
nice one Ronnie, great tips (and basically the exact same thing I tell people who ask me for beginner tips, but yours has mint video editing 🤩)
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@RonnieSarmiento my Girlfriend is learning to ride, so it's great to be able to show her some of the things i'm trying to explain, hahaha. always enjoy your vids mate :D
This edit was epic my dude!
Great advice, and Wear A Helmet definitely should be #1! 👍
After getting used to a less expensive beginner I got a pricey board ( hey, I like gun turrets and a water fountain on my board!) ...which I love it but it is very heavy - pushing it like a normal skateboard will wear you out in no time, I learned, oh man. Weight is a factor.
Great vid!
Very helpful Ronnie. Thank you.
Happy to help!
Solid vid bro.
I don’t even have a board and just subbed. I like scooters more personally but you have great positive content keep at it.
Amazing vid ronnie
Is that a bustin bag? also saw you in the meepo live stream!!! big fan (:
Great vid. I started on an electric. I need to work on my push starts and foot braking. I tell myself that a lot. I just never do it.
Thanks nice one bro .
Thanks!
Thanks my dude
I'm a skater who just ordered a Revel kit and an unlimited loaded kit
Looking forward to trying them out!
Love the Revel Kit!!!
the streee eeet lol love this
I have few pairs of Five Ten mountain bike shoes, do they work for E-Skate? they are more stiff though.
have you tried the meepo flow? thoughts? thanks
Hey Ronnie great video I have a SkateBolt tornado electric board, it’s not bad good stArter board, have you tested and reviewed that brand?
Hey I have been thinking about buying my fist board it’s a mepo V4 S is it good or no because people reviewed it and said it was good so is it??
Love the color grading on this one
Thanks dude, just threw one lut over everything lol
Already ride EUC, but tempting to try eskate too.
I saw me and my board! Hell yea!
Im not sure if my board can go up steep hill with a Hub Motor. I would get a belt motor but u have to replace them kinda often I think but it does give more power so maybe it would allow me to go up hill. I'm not sure can u help me out? Im looking at the tynee mini 2
Hey can you make a video or briefly explain what the heck to do about small rocks? Just started and everything has been fine except little small rocks completely halting my board and throwing me off of it. Would love a video on that
I agree with most of this besides rule no 10 bc I bought a boosted board from eBay and I love it and I bought a separate battery to swap out when one dies and it’s the most fun I’ve ever had, and even though boosted is out of business they still have the best remote
Great tips and info on electric skateboards 🚲💨💨💨 quick question besides the cheap or for beginner 💨💨 what electric skateboard you think is more reliable backfire G2 or a meepo board 💨💨?
Both are decent tbh, depends on you how riders treat em
Hey, im a rider and I bought my first ever board about 2 years ago, I have been shredding a meepo v3 and I have 4 thousand miles on it. I think the thing that helped me the most when I first got it was just sitting down on it it catch a feel for the acceleration and brakes. I also found that you have to be willing to get better. Its not like your going to be going top speed after a day if its your first time. I think it took me about a year to work up to the fastest setting. Just keep trying and you can be an amazing rider.
😭 4000 miles ??? Did you ever have to replace or repair anything ?
@@sonder9423 I got new 100mm polyurethane hub moters because the old ones got worn down...
THIS IS THE MOST WHOLESOME WAY TO GIVE TIPS ON SKILL AND MENTAL TO ALL BEGINNER, NOW IM DREAMING TO HAVE ONE ELECTRIC SKATEBOARD HAHAHAHAH
-LOVE FROM PHILIPPINES
how would you say ownboards support is? your zeus video hyped me !
hi i would be very grateful if you gave me some advice.I am a total beginner and I am unsure which board to get. I was thinking to get longboard as its said to be easier for beginners to learn, smoother on sidewalks etc and more stable as it has more surface area, but then cruiser is much more portable and easier to navigate, and maybe safer?. Also whichever I get Im unsure of the size- i found a crusier on sale that is 28" in length and 7.25" wide but idk if thats too small? But then eg. a longboard i found thats 41" seems too big ?
Longboard if all you wanna do is ride, normal street skateboard if you wanna learn tricks is what i recommend. Cruiser is a little bit of both, but a little harder to ride, and a little harder for tricks.
So kick pushing on an e skateboard doesn’t damage the board or motor?
Can you do a review on the summer board?
I can say i have done almost all of these. Great video ronnie, glad to have you posting again!
Awesome, Caleb!
*As far as we have come in esk8, it is still in it's infancy really*
⚡⚡⚡
Always new people comin to esk8 so great video! Still lovin that board setup, especially havin easy access to deck bolts! 😂
Love Vulc sole like Supras, better board feel than Cupsole. I gotta work on my pushin n footbrakin 😂 Got a nice double drop longboard for it! People really need to de-weight more, it's surreal watchin people stand still goin over cracks/bumps/potholes. A lot of people go straight to huge wheels without learnin on longboard size street wheels first 😭
Foam grip is nice but annoyin when you wanna change or update your truck setup.
The thing is eskate is a lot of peoples first board in general and the years of little things that are just habit to experienced skaters need to be taught to them
@@RonnieSarmiento I always wanted to skate but didn't like there were no brakes and haaated kick-pushin lol... I saw an eBoard a few yrs ago and thought real life Scaletrix! 😂
eBoardin is my first Real experience of skatin long term and now I wanna get good at "real" skatin, longboard, kick-pushin and footbrakin. As soon as I got into esk8, I took the time to learn everythin apart from foot brakin and slidin lol - how to tackle bumps, cracks, potholes, youtube skate videos are great tools. A lot of people in esk8 don't even learn what tightenin trucks do, or how any of the skate parts work 😭😭
I got an eBoard for All the good things of skatin without the borin bit of kick-pushin I thought 😂 I was wrong, pushin is great. Still all about ride feel for me, not torque, power etc. I do love range though.
Honestly, I love just a really good push. It’s so underrated
@@RonnieSarmiento 100%
I dont know at what point but one day whilst watchin videos of people kick-pushin, ridin together, some people had a lotta style in their push and that's where it clicked for me, pushin is so frkn cool. There's a magical flow to a good push, freedom, "unlimited" range.
Foot brakin always looked cool, especially when eBoarders do it 😂 I remenber seein Slydog footbrakin on a Boosted
I just ordered my new electric skateboard for the first time and this is really gonna help
Welcome to this wonderful sport!
Got scammed :(
@Ronnie Sarmientoiento the name of it was mepoe not meepoe
@@ZipZapVR_ where did you order it?
I got a Tynee Ultra on 105 cloud wheels, coming from a boosted mini x with 85mm Caguamas. Let me tell you, I am the happiest rider out in my side of Virginia rn.
Ok, I gave you a 👍. I wasn't going to click on your video, because I've been riding since before you Mother was born, but I just ordered my first electric board for commuting in NYC and thought, what the heck. Your video is well done, no goofy antics and straight common sense advice. Good job and thank you. I'm wondering, can you ollie on a E-board?
Asume video, Great tips and information^^ ☆☆☆☆☆
I didn’t even realized what I was doing when I hop up a bit going over a crack. I just knew it was a lot easier on my knees
4:30 this is my speciality, jumping is good, but i found out after 3000miles, that only thing you need is to drive in around 45° angle, so basically, ride in waves and you´ll be good :D
i just bought the ecomobl et2 for 1200 usd, haven't gotten it yet but i hope it is worth it, i needed way to get to work. i ama traditional longboarder so hopefully its not to different.
What were the shoes you wore. Please let me know 🙏
anyone have experience with the backfire g2 black? I'm just curious about how it is from a more personal perspective than you'd see from most reviewers
Good Video Ronnie!! PS: kicking an AT board is HARD!!
You can also hit the cracks at an angle, and if you do that it bring you closer together
I got one: watch for cars that are making right turns. Most people aren’t looking for skaters or even pedestrians when turning on a green
what shoes do you have
Ya :) I would say like lane positioning and just understand your moving faster and people may not see you so you kinda need to be on top of everything. Never assume a car will stop at a crossing before making eye contact
You have some good advice. Wish I had a board. I wanna sell my Unagi for $800 but can’t find anyone. :(
The riding in the rain experience was a quick painful lession for me, i had just got a board designed to be waterproof and my dumb ass thought "rad now i can ride it rain or shine" combine the lack of friction the fact that it was my first premium board (more power than id ever seen with the cheapo amazon boards) and the fact that i was a pretty green skater naturally it resulted in an instant hydroplane as soon as i turned at a moderate speed and i got to put my new helmet to good use lol
What kinde of eboard you use in this video? What's the name of this model???
i just started riding my $150 board with no prior experince, i guess ill start learning how to push since i can already balance lol
When will you come out with reviews for the Meepo Shuffle S?
I haven’t been in contact so idk
Gotcha.
Is there a video on how you added the leds to your board ?
Nah but just get a cheap led light strip and a power bank and tape it to your board
mantap, sangat membantu. mas Roni Sarminto orang mana mas?
I'm curious what is the weight limit on any of those electric skateboards I'm like 320 pounds an 6'5 with any electric skateboard would even run with me on it
Haven't gotten any broken bones and i started riding at age 30, one thing i'll say is, don't get cocky always wear your helmet. For me i got so cocky and i ride extra careful so i don't need it to my commute, but knee pads and elbow pads are more useful for me cuz of bumpy roads or when it rains when i get out of work.
Had a couple of scraps on the dumbest bumps and sidewalks and knee pads and elbow pads would've came in clutch.
Helmet did save me once when i turned a corner with my weight wrong when i was starting, but overall i don't get too cocky on my speed, i feel comfortable going 15-20 going 25+ down a hill is my limit and i def wouldn't do that without full gear.
I have a skatebolt tornado 2. And my biggest mistake is i def skipped the basics i can't push for shit lol
Throw a couple of pushes in there, but keep on skating!
I had to ride my backfire mini a couple of times in the rain and it's surprisingly doing great I don't do it all the time it can if need be
Nice 👍. I try to avoid the rain, it’s not fun lol
@@RonnieSarmiento oh ya its always a panic formed when I get home I dry that shit as much as possible
When I'm riding with traffic sometimes, I get a sense that cars don't know how fast you're capable of going so try to be aware of that because they won't look out for you. I always check to see if cars are turning before I ride across a street, alley ways can be concerning to if you're in a downtown setting
Hello ! Can anyone sudgest an e board for a beginner (i skate but just basics) on 90 kg ? i dont like super speedy boards and i really dont mind to go slow . I just need it to be flexible in the pavement cause here in athens greece the streets are a nightmare !! Really bumpy! A budget one would be amazing like from 300e to 6 or 7 hundred! Cheers!!
All is so true !
I am a electric skateboard owner and my belt is loose how do I fix it
