  • @micahbragg7993
    @micahbragg7993 4 года назад +2

    I live on the Upper East Side and use the X for transport everywhere including daily commute. I realize Sam has gotten comfortable on the longboards but I would never give up the fun of the mini's ride and tic-tac ability, its MUCH more portable size (I have a board bag that it fits well within), and of course its far more stylish look (that's important too)! Its the board to be most proud of owning. Yeah, it's not as good at potholes but you really can take them on with a little bit of confidence and skill. I had no skateboarding experience before moving to nyc, buying a $20 skateboard to practice, and then buying the X. The smaller skateboard is by far the more interesting and exciting product.

    I am a little bit uneasy though with airports (ever since seeing Casey lose his board in Australia). You mentioned about the standard battery being the only one that is allowed to go through, are there other things to keep in mind whilst travelling with a boosted?

So avg 4 round trip but thats only going 1 place. Not going to multiple. I am not found of spending upwards of 2k for 1. So would would boosted be good choice or a better option for my use and then also guessing if boosted be the mini x be the right one for my use purpose of getting 1.

The $600, well $599 was taken out of my account. I received a confirmation email. That was the last communication I’ve had with Boosted.
    Do you have any contacts in the company other than what’s to be found on their website. I’ve exhausted all resources and I’m starting to think I’m never going to get my board or even my money back.

      @carlossalazar972 4 года назад

      I own a stealth and weigh 155. Typically what I tell people is if you ride aggressively, you get 4-6 miles sometimes 7 if you're regen breaking a lot. If your riding conservatively expect anywhere between 12 and 15 miles. The inbetween section is what is Typically find myself in since I'm not always going max speed; on average I get 9 miles out of my board.
