- Downhill Electric Skateboard - 44 mph - Fast Esk8 - Eskate
Getting comfortable on the Supersport. This board is nothing short of awesome. Sub to the channel and leave me some feedback. Thanks for watching.
Custom Lacroix with a glass frit deck, 65100 motors, custom gearing, and some secret sauce.
Skating out of Denver, CO.

Haha I love the shock in his voice “4500?!”
I love the reaction from people , what a monster 💀 👏
My god my hands get sweaty just watching this.
‘’Having fun? Trying to.” I feel u. Awesome videos man. Stay dangerous.
You're insane, amazing ride!
absolutely mental... I love it
Man you are a beast 💪 you're legs must of been hurting after this run
ahh they weren't too bad. They get real tired when racing on short, tight courses with a lot of turns. It's like doing squats the whole ride lol
New sub. The sustained speed is amazing. Nice run
I'm really enjoying mine, in two trips I did over 30 miles this past Sunday, it was such a blast, I just went around city park a couple of times this morning before work, loving it. Great videos by the way, thanks for them
That's awesome to hear. They provide a level of freedom that's addicting. Thanks for watching the videos. Let's get together and ride sometime
@@wiggpickle It is addicting, I ride pretty much everyday, where do you ride most? Ever go to wash park?
I recently moved out of Wash Park. I used to hit the park and head downtown almost daily. I'm in Centennial currently so I ride around here on the weekdays and usually head out to the foothills for road riding on the weekends. I hit the occasional group ride too. You should join in
@@wiggpickle I for sure would like to do a group ride let me know when ok. I ride weekends on the bike paths in highlands ranch and around chatfield, Sunday I did 19 miles it was a blast
If you are on fb, join in on some of the groups in the area and send me a request. There are a couple groups that ride somewhat frequently (though, not so much in the winter)
20mph around some of those 180 degree turns. man i need one of those. little meepo aint cuttin it.
Gotta go DIY 🤙
Yep. That's a monster😊😊
That is very fast
Outstanding
Someone asked me today how much it cost and suggested $160. I told him that's exactly right 😅
I feel that. I always suspect people don't believe me when I tell them the price. They also don't believe me when I tell them the speed lol
@@wiggpickle Thank you for the gear tips, especially the HJC helmet and the hip protection. I've taken maybe 6 spills between esk8/EUC since you recommended those and I can gladly say I've taken no damage to myself except for 1 sprained ankle.
That's really awesome to hear. Pushing the limits, falling, recalculating, and trying again is exactly how you get good at this stuff. Glad your being safe
Oh, what a surprise that the prices of these machines are steep and we also buy $1100+ cellphones, right?
I know that you can go much faster on a normal downhill longboard. but having electric motors means you can just ride up any hill as well.
And you have breaks
Jisses that thing moves :) My EXn should have a Hard Time to that One 😅
exn's are sick! stay safe
Hm, why the super wide & high stance? Doing conventional downhill freeride I only find it necessary to get that wide while trying to stick on very deep turns, & even in slides getting excessively wide seems not to help. & I’d think that being that high up in your stance would make you unstable, but I guess it doesn’t?
Hey Bro I ride hard too. Where are you riding in this video? I'm in Riverside County and I want to go on one of these insane rides!
I'm in Denver. Hmu if you're ever around
Sick riding my man! Are those the new Bioboard motors?
Thanks for watching. I believe it's the same 65100 motor, but this set is lacroix branded
@@wiggpickle Next level stuff!
@@wiggpickle Is it true the bio board just uses a different gearing ratio to achieve their higher speeds? The supersport has more torque right? Is there any board on the market that compares to the torque of a supersport with falcon gear?
In short, yes, the BB uses lower gear ratios to achieve higher speeds. It's all math. Power (wattage) is voltage × amperage. Any 18s board with a similar battery will make similar power given the setting in the vesc are equal. Torque and top speed are directly related, so yes, assuming they have similar vesc settings, a stock SS will feel torquier due to the higher gear ratio. As long as the battery can supply adequate current and the vesc setting are the same, 18s power is 18s power. BB actually uses the Lacroix Stormcore ESC. I just prefer the look, feel, and engineering of Lacroix boards.
@@wiggpickle thanks for responding! Love my SS, still building up the courage to slam the slider from standstill but I think I'd fall off XD
what is the best thing i can do to prep myself and board for higher speeds? I have gotten up to 27 MPH but want to push it faster but want to know that my board can mechanically handle it.
You were hauling ass, sir
i cant put gps from my gopro 9 to video, how? i have gps on
I don't know about the gopros, unfortunately. I use a program called Telemetry Overlay. It will extract the GPS data from the video file and give you all kinds of customizable telemetry options. There is a free trial available on their website. Hope that helps!
I was literally just riding lookout mountain in golden the other day. Where else do you like riding in the area?
Nice. What are you riding? I ride all over. Lookout and Morrison rd are two of my favorite uphill spots.
@@wiggpickle I have the ownboard Zeus, Zeus pro, Meepo Hurricane and a bunch of other boards. My go to spot is cherry creek reservoir cause it’s close to my place.
@@wiggpickle I am super surprised there aren’t more people on Eskate in Denver considering how many people snowboard here.
Nice! Join the Facebook group PEV 20/20 and come on a group ride sometime
@@wiggpickle I saw the group in Colorado Springs but I didn’t see the group here in Denver. I just requested to join hopefully I’ll see you on a future group ride. Bad ass content man, you really know how to push it to the limit with skill!
How does this compare to your new DIY setup
Nowhere near it really. The 4p battery doesn't allow for much amperage draw before the voltage starts to sag significantly, ultimately producing much less wattage. The 100d controller was always unreliable. Setup wasn't as precise or dialed, motors weren't as good, etc.
Do you ever get harassed by the cops?
Is it just me or does the board not seem to tilt with your feet? Thats the only part that seems sketchy. Seems like your slowing down a lot for turns because you’re scared to lean too far over because it forces you to rely on the traction of the grip tape. Does not seem very maneuverable compared to a traditional downhill skateboard. Not criticizing, I’m looking for a board for high speed carving.
Hi! That’s because his trucks are set super stiff to handle the high speed. Even at medium stiffness on my board I have a hard time tilting the deck when I’m taking sharp turns at speed. When you’re cruising around the city it’s nice to have a carvy board but once you pass 25mph you gotta stiffen up the trucks if you don’t want speed wobbles every 5ft. Hope that helps!
@@EAGLINWRX
Ah, makes sense
I mean every type of hi speed board, whether it’s surfing, wakeboarding, snowboarding, motorcycle, scooter, etc, the turn and the lean angle always correspond with each other so there are no lateral forces trying to force you off the board.
Sounds to mean like looser trucks and some sort of dampening would be ideal. Like maybe an rc car shock attached to the board and the truck.
This board doesn't represent the handling characteristics of a stock Lacroix. This board is currently setup to be stable at 50+ MPH which is why it looks so dead at low speeds.
@@wiggpickle I have the ownboard carbon and the ecomobl and they are both completely different boards.You need to have good tight trucks for anything over 25 miles an hour or the speed wobble will throw you off.So far the fastest speed that tried to go is about 21 miles an hour.You rip down those hills like mad.I should visit Lacroix since it's a 10 minute drive from me and take a look at the boards.
That's why our government in germany, switzerland and austria make eskate illegal😂
That's a real bummer. Come over here and lets ride!
You need to work on your social skills lol, seems like you didn’t want them talking to you
I think my social skills are fine. I don't like talking to people when I'm riding like this. Most people are cool, but some want to complain, confront, and call the cops, so I get in and out as quickly as possible.
