Finally, a proper offroad board for those 40-year-old dads out there who don't want to risk their lives going down a "real" mountain and don't have time to build custom boards just to ride around some grass and forest paths. I'll give Ownboard a few months for all the early model quirks to be addressed and definitely get it for the next season.
Make that 60 plus dads. Agreed like the Zeus OG (which i have) the pro came out with a better ESC/BIOS (which i now have). But this looks like a nice step up
@@scottdaviesyoutube Three years ago your review convinced me to buy an Eovan board and I've been happy since but it's time for an upgrade. Ownboard has been on the market for long enough to trust they won't just disappear or stop selling spare remotes next week, so this looks like a good buy.
I like the extra torque. The Linnpower looked more carvy and flickable from watching both vids back to back. Id love to see a head to head shootout between the 2
ya man. ownboard constantly setting GREAT trends. first ones to use a 13s in such a sleeeeek 2 in1 board. first to use tkp with a 2 in1. first one to have a 13s Bamboo flex deck. first ones to use oil slick trucks. first ones to bring a powerful hobbywing to the scene. now a new remote. now there collabing with mbs for these new trucks and going with a lacroix style board for a fraction of lacroixs price. and yea, mid range power is far more important than crazy silly top speed. Well done brotha 👌🏼✅🤘🏼💯
@@scottdaviesyoutube Hey mate, you asked us to comment if we had questions and I had a couple come up. Firstly, and forgive me for being a noob about this but I'm guessing there are other options for a more street like tire to fit on those beautiful hubs? I'm not a fan of the small knobbies it comes with. Secondly, is there any option to put a handle on it somehow? I have a handle on my Titan X and use it every time I ride. Thanks, wwd
That guy was “GRUMPY” cause he’s just jealous that he isn’t riding that PROMETHUS! I think I’m going to have to pickup one for myself… thanks for the great review & have a great day.
Nice to see the colab about their trucks and hanger because we are many to lose a wheel while riding with the Bamboo zeus pro with their home made one.........Little bit dangerous...
Nice review: detailed and entertaining, as always! At first because of the trucks and deck shape I felt it had Velar or even Renegade vibes and I was worried OMW had done another "Evolve clone" but seeing it in action and with a bit more detail you can see it isn't really either of those boards at all. Looks like they've gone in another direction entirely - much more solid and heavy - seems to be focusing on stability for just long rides.
*I had a big smile on the openin of the video,* somethin about the "who's scotty", early mornin escape from the world with the animals & insects chirpin in the background... 🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽⚡️👌🏽 I like the name choice, design choices and cell choice, they've done well with this one 👌🏽 Has such a cleeean look, nice simple colour/grip tape design. Glad we're movin away from the standard OLED hobbywing remote, these new ones have a more premium look. But woaaah this remote surprised me, completely different to previous Ownboard remotes, looks freakin amazin! Bit like the Onsra and some VESC style remotes 👏🏽👏🏽 Owmboard are super smart for teamin up with companies that are good at what they do, makes a huge difference to the ridability of boards, the rider experience is everythin. Great to see different setup options for the truck, I always have the front truck set up way more nimble than rear truck, not just a bit 😂 Awesome to see a GaN charger, with chargers gettin so big and hot with bigger batteries. That "calculation thinkim" edit 😂😂 Really enjoyed this one!
After watching all of your videos (which I loved) I decided to purchase the Prometheus. Used the promo by the way - thank you! Loved my first ride, but wondering if the Nova 8" tires will fit on the these hubs? I carved so hard on the tires that the rear tire came off the hub, nice wipe too :( Thanks Scott!
Great vid legend! I had my heart so set on a Rukus but now this... Thoughts? I'm in Scarborough. so it was awesome to see you cruising the Houghton Hway! Would love a vid showing off your fav locations too.
Damn… this board looks way nice. Those rims are super mean and cool looking. 1170 watt hour Battery per their website and the price is right. I would probably desire a little more flex as a light weight rider but still a sick board. Looks like my lacroix except you can actually read the battery percentage so you don’t have to guess😂
Why is no one absolutely FLOORED that they’re using Matrix 3s? That’s basically DIY quality stuff. It’s so far beyond a mainstream board part that it’s completely nutty. People should be screaming about this. It’s basically at a similar level as Meepo releasing a board with SRB-designed 3-link trucks.
Hi Scottie Awesome vid i have to say You live in an awesome country mate and now you have finally found the best production board The fluxmotion …im sorry the ‘ prometheus ‘would of like to of seen the inners of the enclosure As mentioned the fluxs battery is a work of art ,brought two years ago ive never had a problem and its still my choice of ride mbs trucks rule and the set up you have is exactly how i ride So much fun still going strong as you are mate so happy you didnt take early retirement If you dont mind me asking whats the make of your jet pack ?
@@scottdaviesyoutube i can hardly wait it is a superb looking board and those new and improved mbs trucks name down yesterday on a set ..no brainier and with interchangeable axles 12mm its the future man
looks like the remote would not be comfortable or even possible in some cases to use with gloves. and looks kind of cheaply made for a premium board like this. maybe would go with different tires also, but everything else on this board looks very nice. Including the board itself. It is a beautiful board.
Hey Scott, do you know the length of the deck overall and also the length of the standing platform? I don't see that info on the website. Thanks! Legend
@@ronnie5966 hey Ronnie The trucks are more advanced and the ESC has a lot more power. However the deck flex on the Evo is amazing (if you went a flex deck)
Orders made in October will get one free set of: SL-300+ Headlights and SL-FX Underglow lights from Shredlights.

Ownboard is one of the pioneers of this industry
I like the extra torque. The Linnpower looked more carvy and flickable from watching both vids back to back. Id love to see a head to head shootout between the 2
Linnpower is a lot more flexy
Prometheus has a A lot more power and torque
I think it’s a great Idea for a video

Haha spot on mate 😂
Hey scottie, only 1 change, i would run 165mm linnpower tires on this bad boy here😎
100% agree
So nice mate. Great collab too. Grumpy Ute driver seeing Eskate rider enjoying himself while he has to go to work. 🤣
Yea that must be it, lol fool
Nice to see the colab about their trucks and hanger because we are many to lose a wheel while riding with the Bamboo zeus pro with their home made one.........Little bit dangerous...
Ahh another board i need and can't afford .LOL. nice looking turning circle. Would you say this style of truck is better than the rest .
Yes and yes. you can really feel the difference with the MBS stuff, Just feels more refined

ordered it 9 days ago with your discount. ty for the video ! still no knews of the shipping tho :p hope it comes soon
I also ordered mine around then! was told they should start shipping out of the US warehouse around 10/24 cheers!

totally agree, its such a cool colab,
Love the #Cyberpunk griptape design
I do too. Its a nice change from the NORM
Try the settings on your camera under anti flicker and change between 50 or 60 hertz it should stop the flicker.
That thing looks fun. Cant get into new gear just yet...
Makes me want to get and ESK8 😊
its always nice to have the option, plus you are close to me so you can test it out any time
Hi Scottie
Awesome vid i have to say You live in an awesome country mate and now you have finally found the best production board The fluxmotion …im sorry the ‘ prometheus ‘would of like to of seen the inners of the enclosure
As mentioned the fluxs battery is a work of art ,brought two years ago ive never had a problem and its still my choice of ride mbs trucks rule and the set up you have is exactly how i ride
So much fun still going strong as you are mate so happy you didnt take early retirement
If you dont mind me asking whats the make of your jet pack ?
Yea I plan to open it up in a 2nd video and make a third and add the bindings to test as well.
The backpack is a Boblbee GTX Army
@@scottdaviesyoutube i can hardly wait it is a superb looking board and those new and improved mbs trucks name down yesterday on a set ..no brainier and with interchangeable axles 12mm its the future man
Cool remote too
yea its comfy and easy to read
Looks like a variant of the Linnpower Evo board.
Wheels and geardrive is the same
Everything else is different
This esc has a lot more torque
This looks like the same board as the Linnpower Evo MK-1. Same deck, wheels, and battery enclosure from what I can tell.
Nope
Very different deck and very very different trucks
@@scottdaviesyoutube I see thanks
@@scottdaviesyoutube great video Scott. Which deck is flexier between Mk1 and Prometheus?
@liangsa the Mk1 is about 50% more flexy
@@scottdaviesyoutube Thanks!
Talking to Ownboard atm. The hubs are not linnpower hubs. They just use the same quick release mechanism
looks like the remote would not be comfortable or even possible in some cases to use with gloves. and looks kind of cheaply made for a premium board like this. maybe would go with different tires also, but everything else on this board looks very nice. Including the board itself. It is a beautiful board.
Very nice
Thanks
What's the overall deck size for this, info not listed on their website?
I love this board, i would get the xcell apollo wheels and the 165mm rs tires for this bad boy🥲
Ohhh yes they are some nice additions!!
Incredible : like if they took the best of all parts to make the best possible Esk8... Lacroix nazaré Supersport board for half the price...
Maybe not the supersport but it’s comparable to their 12s boards aside from the amp output falling short
Yea its great to see innovation and pushing what is possible at a lower price point
How would you compare carving on this vs the nomad N3? Do the 8 inch wheels hurt the nimbleness of the board significantly?
What remote is that, looks new? No replacement website listing, sadly
dont know too much about it yet, They will have it as a spare part shortly
Hey Scott, do you know the length of the deck overall and also the length of the standing platform? I don't see that info on the website. Thanks! Legend
Let me measure when I get home
@@scottdaviesyoutube Thanks! 🙏
What's the technical term for those square-shaped mountainboard bushings?
Shock Blocks
@@scottdaviesyoutube Thanks!
Scott. Will it be in USD
Yea the $1799 is USD
@@scottdaviesyoutube it's amazing the price is very cheap with premium parts. Even in USD. Is their extra bushings in the deal.
I think 1 set of 85a and free shredlights
@@scottdaviesyoutube about finding the board on there website i cannot find it. The previous model is there.
I really like the form factor of this and the Evo mk1, will they have a belt version or just the gear drive?
Is this board better than Linnpower EVO MK-1?
@@ronnie5966 hey Ronnie
The trucks are more advanced and the ESC has a lot more power.
However the deck flex on the Evo is amazing (if you went a flex deck)
A lot cheaper than Onsra Velar.
