Pretty sure that feeling is roll. Urethane doesn't stay straight when you turn. It kind of bends in under the wheel and slides a little

Yes that's exactly what I was talking about. Where you're turning, but kinda sliding, barely making the turn, but If you turn any more you'll slip out lol. Its turning my bad way so that sucks too.

I'm really liking this thread now, I went suuuuuper fast down this hill yesterday, normally I just start at the top, and push once, but yesterday I ran across the street, hopped the gravel and pushed again and went sooo fast. Theres this hill at the bottom that I never get up, because it's too big, but I went over it with a lot of speed.

That road I posted on google maps just goes up and down and up and down about 6 times it's so much fun!

Got a whole buncha footage from a hill last night, did like 20 runs on it overall (it only takes a minute or so), so much fun. I'll try to get them all edited and posted soon.

na. i havent had any time! and im still trying to think of what exactly im going to do with it. i know forsure im going to get some wide bars for it. i'll probably be making a deck plate as well. i want to do some thing special for the wheels, but im still trying to think of what i can use. it'll hopefully be done in early august

i reckon you should modify it so it takes large wheels and see if you can pneumatic ones on it, i've seen these asian aftermarket wheels with pneumatyic tyres and treads that fit onto a standard scoot! would be sick on that thing.

I've started doing it in a certain stance with my arms tucked, head tucked and my knees in a sort of DH position. I can bomb that huge hill in like 17 seconds so I hit around 40-45mph. That was scary but I also managed to carry on cruising for a while to another hill which I bombed again; the entire line took me about 2/3 minutes.

Hit like 50km/h today, so fucking fast. I was going faster than the cars! Limit was 40.

Thats about 30 mph for you silly Americans, I know, not that fast, but still...

That's pretty damn fast if you ask me...

I'm making a hill-bombing scooter!
Would cutting an old skateboard deck and bolting it to an Ultra Pro wrk as a deck plate?
