I had already seen a short vid of your fall and found it quite shocking cos the wobble seemed to come from nowhere - and I guess it makes us aware that it can happen to any of us when we least expect it. So glad to hear you didn't suffer lasting damage and great to hear your good advice on protective gear. Time for me to check out the lazyrolling gear....
Anyone not liking this video shame on you. Everything said is spot on, even the pros have a bad day on the rides. This video has got me thinking alot more about how I ride and 100% i will be getting myself some safety riding protection. GREAT VIDEO.
damn bro. that crash was posted everywhere a cpl weeks ago. didnt know that was you. this is why im always tellin ppl that top speed is basically the last thing we should be worrying about with eskating.. even a experienced rider like yourself hit something soooo small and came off. skateboards arent meant to take impact at high speeds. they have tiny wheels. even a 8”/200mm is small compared to other vehicles. momentum and physics will send us right off the board over 30mph if we hit something in the road while standing on a piece of wood…soo many cool transitions we can do as skaters other than straight line top speeds…. heal up brotha 🤙🏼
I love my Leatt knee guards, and my Fox elbow / forearm guards as well. Wear them on every ride, as well as a helmet. Also kevlar jeans occasionally if I'm pushing it a bit.
Skateboard companies, particularly electric, need to redesign the basics of design for steering geometry, specifically the rear trucks. It’s insanely stupid that we use rear trucks that turn opposite the front, as that inherently creates speed wobbles. I’ve figured out how to get incredibly nimble carving with absolute stability at any speed: I reverse my rear trucks to turn with the front, then add surf adapters to allow much more front turning and the rear adapter for lean ability. The rear turning in the same direction as the front makes the board want to straighten and smooth out, when disrupted by rough patches that would otherwise start a wobble, while also keeping the rear planted and gripping through tight corners. I put a quick video on my channel to explain the set-up.
This is exactly why you don't ride fast with bindings on your board, that crash could have been much softer without them. People usually don't listen until they experience it themselves. Good you didn't really hurt yourself,
Glad you’re ok and the gear did its thing. Do you think think you would have had those kind of speed wobbles on other channel trucks, like Trampa? I like the idea of a better steering more carvey mountain board, but if this is the trade off I think I’d stick with channel trucks and just use a different (slower) board if I want a carve ride.
Hey yeah just bought a standard set of knee and arm guards from 8skate, wish I could afford the lazy rolling gear but with the fact I also just bought my first board as well my bank account looking very dry, but if you guys could offer some more affordable option to me I would love to check them out in the future also glad your ok mate
Damn you are very lucky. That's why I don't like mountain boards.. To go fast you need reverse kingpin trucks with split angle. Also having bindings is extremely unsafe when you crash..
Saw this posted somewhere else but had no idea it was you. Hell of a wipe. Glad you didn't break anything. It doesn't take much to toss your ass off a board sadly.
For me I strongly dont recommend using ruroc helmet unless you want plastic in ur face i mean literally in ur face. Read about pieces that can break off TO inside.

@@Esk8Nomad I’m sorry I wasn’t there…I still haven’t been on a skate run …that how I brought my ride,watching vids from Australia,and a gathering of like mind souls meet-up in a carpark ready for a late session riding through Sidney harbour ..it’s the work of Andrew Penmen and the owner and builder of the mighty Tranzite But I love to see skaters rides how they make it their own …awesome Take care Thomas
@@Esk8Nomad with all your experience it should be an awesome set up I’ve just put a pair of freebord bindings on my old evolve One two motors I’m in training for when I eventually take hold of my Apex !!
The only way I was able to record the speed was using my “meta app” and the stats told me that was the speed I was going so that’s what I put in my video as evidence

Thanks bud people have the right for option dude my goal is to raise awareness on safety that’s it

Thanks bud

Thanks will definitely check that gear out
That was a mad crash Tom, glad you were rocking some decent gear on the day!

Hey Tom, seen a few vids of it already. Looking forward to hearing what happened mate.
Thanks bud

Tbh out of every board I have the apex airs are by far the best trucks I have ever ridden
That helmet man …saved you
Thank God you always wear it …it’s is so big ! Hehe …
Very lucky for sure
Christ! Glad you're still in one piece man
Thanks bud

Unfortunately don't have any codes like that normally getting the pre sale orders help

But I was lucky that I padded up
Sorry this happened to you, but wow, did that protective gear do its job!
Thanks bud very lucky
Where’d you get the gloves!!!
It scared me a bit ,I’m sure I wouldn’t of walked away …here’s to a speedy recovery..what colour bushing did you have ? Take care Tom

What happened to PEV TV?
You want me to bring it back ??

You should of bought the beast aka Plutonium.
ouchhh!!
Yer it hurt
I'm too cheap I guess LOL I wear elbow pads under a leather jacket well leather was once used for armor LMAO
Everyone is different bud
Just watched it again Tom
Tubby wobble a bit especially when you landed on your head
What do you mean sorry ?

Definitely appreciate that luck for sure 🍀
After seeing this. Half helmet is not safe. You could of broke your jaw too.
I know I normally wear my full face
You mean 40km per hour right?!😂 Come on bro it's quite clear you weren't going anywhere near 40mph, more like 25-30 mph at best.
