What's with the Santa Cruz name, those aren't made by NHS are they? As far as how long till you hurt yourself, my bet is day 1. Why not just get a dual sport motorcycle instead?
Made by Future Motion that's based in Santa Cruz. The might make them in San Jose though. I'm not sure.

I thought it'd be cool to get the snowboarding feeling on trails and shit. Then I can come along and have some fun when my family goes on hikes and walks and shit.

If I don't like it I might buy an electronic skateboard with off road tire. I almost ordered one of those too, but they were sold out last time I looked.

My buddy had an electric skateboard years ago, and I watched him nearly kill himself on it many times. I like having something to hold on to when motors are involved. They do look fun as hell though.

I found them, Future Motion Inc. It seems like people either love them or hate them. You might want to do a google search and check the reviews on the company, because there are several similar to this..

Could be user error too. I saw the reviews, but if I have issues I'll talk shit about them forever, :bigjoint:. I paid with a credit card too, so if it fucks up anytime soon I'll just tell the card company it doesn't work.

I just tried it for a couple minutes in my dining room. It is a trip, but I think I should pick it up pretty fast. Gonna smoke another bowl and get on it again, :lol:

It's got an app too to have more control. The skateboard had one too though.

One of the many Chinese toys for adults. They will go out of fashion like everything else that's a worse way of transportation than what's already existing.

We had Roller skates, inlines, Kick bikes and Segways to name a few of the bunch that's been put on the shelf to never be used again. Hope you get some fun out of it and hope the batteries last longer than a year. Cheers!

Just because you couldn't do it doesn't mean you gotta hate, :lol:.

I remember a bunch of losers were saying the same thing about snowboarding when it startled. What's up now, :bigjoint:

I'm not hating anything, just being honest. I'm happy if you get some fun out of it!

I've been told to keep it down now, lol. So day 1 and no pain so far, :lol:. But I need lots more practice. All I did tonight was try to figure out the balance, and learn how to stop with out the SimpleStop shit. Sweating bullets now, lol.

There's crazy fuckers and there's old fuckers but not a lot of crazy old fuckers. ;)

If I didn't think I would shatter like a china teacup falling off one of those I would have loved one of those back in the day. Dirt bikes were my thing then bigger bikes until I crashed my '70 650 Bonneville chopper in '87 and broke my back. Still walking OK and have had my eye on a Ural with sidecar and 2-wheel drive. Damn things are made in Russia so not cool to be riding one now dammit! Guess it will have to be a Royal Enfield with sidecar but 1-wheel drive and 500cc but made in India and we're not mad at them yet are we? :)

Wear your brain bucket! And good luck!

:peace:

I feel like 500cc's isn't enough for a sidecar. I thought about getting a Royal Enfield Himalayan last year, but I saw lots of reviews of the seat being terrible and spongy to the point where people reported that they were basically sitting on the frame.

The sidecar would just be for my fishing gear and collapsed belly boat. The 2-wheel drive will get me to places 4x4s are never seen and the holes are never fished. :)

I'm only 140lbs so just me and some fishing gear, pup tent, sleeping bag and assorted survival gear. Really want a Ural tho. They're 799cc so a bit more umph. Good used one would be fine.

:peace:

Couple more questions... does it "power up" as you lean forward?.. kinda like those hover boards or whatever those things were that kept catching fire.... and does it do the same in reverse?
