Thanks for making the perfect video I can now show to my disciples to help them get into this heavenly sport.

Me: doesn’t have e-board Still watches vid

MAJOR TIP (from experience): Know the places where you can go to recharge your board. You’ll definitely want to know these places when making longer trips or when you’re in a rush to get somewhere. It’ll save you the stress about running out of juice in the middle of a trip on a place you don’t know. I recommend fast food places, libraries, some parks, some gas stations, stores and public buildings. *or have a spare battery*

Another important tip is to remember that you don't always have to be with your board or on your board. What I mean is that if you have to dodge an obstacle last second and it would be too dangerous to slam on the brakes or accelerate out of the way; just get off your board. Even if you kick it to the side and it gets damaged, it's just an object end of the day. The important thing is that you don't get injured. I see a lot of people that I group ride with just stick with their board. You can stop the board and sprint in a direction to avoid direct impact, you can jump off your board and pick it up if it's at a low enough speed, practice different ways to dismount so that you have more than just 1. I'm regular stance and I'm more used to my right foot coming off the board first, but I'm also comfortable with my my left foot coming off the board first too.

Great video, love how you started #1 with a helmet and mentioned riding in the rain. I hope people hear what you're saying. Nearly two weeks ago I bit it hard while riding in the rain trying to beat the lightning. I fell backwards at 20mph+ and bounced my head off the pavement and skidded to a stop. I luckily wore my helmet that day and so I am only dealing with road rash on my back, hip, elbows, hands, wrists and knees as well as bruised and swollen elbow, and a concussion. For the last two weeks I wake up feeling like I'm severely hung over and it lasts all day. But my brains are still in my head and not on that pavement! People of KZfaq: Wear your helmet, ya?

He never said don’t ride in the snow. Just remember that.

i think gloves are important because i always tend to land hand first when i crash. For night riding i would suggest reflective gear i would suggest something like a PT belt they use in the military becuase it saves lives.

Ive ridden my Inboard M1 over 800 Miles! I used to skate as a kid so the fundamentals were mastered long ago . When riding a standard street deck I focused on what was right in front of me. Electric Skateboarding is different in the sense that one needs to focus 8 -10 feet in front of themselves. Because in less than a second you will be at the point you focused upon. That should be in the basic tips. I have only had one major crash and it was a result of a combination of factors. 1. The remote for the Inboard M1 has a switch that one holds down on the front of the remote to allow the control of movement. "its like a deadmans switch" you pull your finger off that switch and no power is being sent to the hub motors. 2. I was doing a long brake from about 22 MPH and leaning back in an extreme angle rearwards. I shifted pressure on the deadmans switch ever so slightly and that was enough to stop all braking and the board jerked forwards with full momentum. This launched me forward at a high rate of speed. I landed with the side of my body hitting the ground. My shoulder absorbed the brunt of the injury when I smacked. Trip the ER revealed that I slightly tore my Acromyoclavicular Joint. Known as the AC joint. This was extremely painful and made more so when they sent me home and told me to take advil for the pain. (Thanks alot ! ) This was due to the American obsession with Opiod abuse. Pain in that area of the shoulder for a minimum of six months. I was back riding my E-Skate a week an a half later though.

I know it can be scary to lean forward when you're going almost 20 mph, but speed wobbles are scarier so lean forward. I ride a short e-board (25 inches) with loose trucks and still don't get speed wobbles at 20 mph. Part of it is that it also just takes time and muscle development. Eventually you'll subconsciously neutralize the small movements in your ride that can become speed wobbles. leaning forward just helps more.

Incline your body forward when accelerating and backward when stopping

I just bought the cheapest board (meepo v3). It’s coming in a week or two. Wish me luck

As someone who just got a WowGo 3, never have touched a board before, and been using it as a way to get around my Oklahoma town...all these are exactly things to know. My issue has been hella speed wobbles. Wiped out hard today behind a local Walmart. Pretty sure it has to do with my piss poor balance on the board. Bought elbow/knee/wrist pads right after. I'll add one more: Don't give a fuck how people see you. Especially if you're a beginner; hell yeah I picked up my board to walk across a busy road. Fuck death.

Thanks for the great vid of tips! I will surely use them. I'm 65 and have my first board coming this week :) I am so stoked I can hardly sleep waiting for it to get here. I figure it'll be a great way to get me out more! Your material and presentation was awesome, thanks again . Geo

Number 10 is definately a life tip. Put that on a Tee shirt.

Had my board a week, and as a complete novice this would have been useful. Managed to figure most out, but have fallen on my arse once. Some extensions to the video could cover checking the trucks, where to position the feet, and how to deal with uneven surfaces. Those little lego style bumps where cycle paths meet the road, pot holes, cracks, etc wouldn't bother me running or cycling, but bane of my life now.

Dude these are FANTASTIC tips and the video is so so so well made - the pace and flow, masterful man.

yep speed wobbles suck. thats how I wiped out really badly on my longboard for the first time. broke my helmet and got a mild concussion then a bunch of road rash :(

Thanks for this! Just bought a meepo v3 after starting college and this definitely was a great watch before I get my board.

Spend the first few hours in an empty big parking lot learning to turn, getting used to acceleration. First push off and then accelerate, it's better for your battery.

Always, if you are passing a car, make sure you do it on the driver side. This will make the driver see you because is more common to look on the left mirror of the car than to look on the right one

Ronnie thank you so much for this vid. I haven't been on a regular board for YEARS and just got a backfire g2 so plan on definitely practicing all that you've mentioned. I'm an e scooter rider so many of your tips i could relate to already. very comprehensive- well done. JB

ordered my meepo v3 yesterday and i may go insane waiting for it because i’m so excited😂your videos have been helpful and fun to watch! thank you!

Thanks. I'm an adrenaline-junkie, new to e-boarding and just stupid enough to crack my skull. I need all the help I can get. btw the Meepo V3 is sick AF!

Great advise Ronnie, I've been skateboarding for over a year now and I've gotten too cocky that I don't wear my gear anymore but after this video I am starting to wear it again tomorrow. Thanks Bro! NYC skateboarder here. Peace.

wonderful video. ive skated for years and am waiting on my meepo v3 and a wowgo knight for my brother and this still taught me loads. can't wait to be on my board

Great tips for any rider. Thanks for taking the time to talk about them.

Thank you for posting this video. Great advice that I will use daily.

Your tips were extremely helpful. Thank you.

Just ordered my exway x1 can't wait!

I am getting a board today morning. and got this video. got a lot of ideas. thank you so much. ❤️

Very good tutorial, thanks!

Just bought my first eboard! Went with the x1pro and I'm super excited to get it in the mail! Been watching a bunch of your vids and they've been super helpful!

We have the Guinness World Record for longest journey on an electric skateboard, check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbtxrMem0d3FiJc.html

Awesome Video, thank you. I just bought my e-Longboard some weeks ago and watched your video multiple times already and it really helps me to try the right things, but still it takes a lot of practise to get comfortable with everything.

WOW!!! Such great advice! I love that I was learning and laughing all at the same time! About to get my first electric skateboard! I'm so glad my sister suggest this video to me!!!!!💛✌😁

Very good video Ronnie, I actually thought about creating one because it’s super important. I think you’ve hit every point I had in my head including the triple backup plans :) 👍👍👍

Hey this was super helpful as I am starting to use mine to get to school and these tips have helped a lot

Another excellent video friend, you make mention of so many good points! Ride safe all!

I’m starting to relearn skating on a e-board and what surprised me was how I was more nervous to relearn skating than learning the first time so I just need some tips on how to push yourself to do it

Getting ready to order my first esk8 board and I am EXCITED 😅

Thanks for all the help, just got my first board, a backfire g2 black

Nice video Ronnie like always

Thanx 4 tha great information!

#7 is very important. 2 weeks after I got my board, I got on really early in the morning, and it had rained the night before. The road was really slippery and I hydroplaned, fell off, and broke my arm. It wasn’t a bad break, it healed in just a month, but it could’ve been worse

Jus got my board and thank you for the great tips I'm 45 and haven't had a skateboard since I was in my 20's looking forward to this adventure and enjoying your videos while planting my feet

awesome vid, just got a board myself, can't wait to try it out, thanks for the advice

damn i was about to go ride underwater just now, good thing i watched this first ! thx ronnie bro

Seriously been loving your videos. You kill it, man. Solid ass content

Great tips and video! Love number 1 and “DON’T RIDE IN THE RAIN!” I’ll be sure to send this video on to some friends who are new to eBoarding.

Thanks so much for this video makes me feel more confident, I just got an exway flex.

Good advice, thanks mate.

This guy know everything keep up the good work

Rule 10 rocks! Gotta have fun and share the knowledge.

Good instructions Sir.

If you made stickers that said, "Beautiful brain bucket" that fit onto a helmet, I'd buy that. My most common injury, and the most common injury sustained by every other esk8 newbie I've talked to has been to the hands and for that reason, I highly, highly, HIGHLY encourage you to move that up (just under helmet) in your list! My second most common has been elbow, then knee, then a tie for shoulder and head. First aid kit. Folks that are new WILL fall. The first fall is the worst. A first aid kit makes a WORLD of difference.

Great Video! Would be cool to have a video on what to know about tightening and loosening trucks. Impact on ride at low and high speeds. Perhaps a list things to know about adjusting trucks. Honestly, I struggle with that.

Very useful video dude. I know a few riders who can benefit from watching it :) Awesome content as always.

Great video thanks man

about to buy an eboard online and this is the best piece of information I've seen all week, thank you

Great video After a year of riding an eboard these were great tips

yes i was inspired by your videos. i just ordered my wowgo 2s Pro from china. cant wait to try it.

Thank you!

I’ve ridden motorcycles or over 10 years, it has helped me develop a sense of awareness with my surroundings and try to predict what may happen in many different situations and prepare for them.

thank you brto, great vid! be safe! god bless

Great video for a new rider like me!!! Thanks heaps 🤩

I ended up building my own board partially thanks to your videos and I’m now thinking about building a 4wd Hub board.

Just got mine two days ago and went 20mph (I’ve went 26 the first day I got it so I was really comfortable on the board already), and while braking I forgot to lean back, and got launched off. I rolled a lot and pretty far, thankfully I wore a helmet, and the cuts went past my clothes and hurts whenever I do anything. Always wear a helmet.

Always a great video!

awesome video -- thinking of upgrading my old vision gator to one of these

these are great tips as i consider getting one

Just ordered a carbon gtr, 4 days ago had my first trip today got in 30miles. Amazing weather. and the best feeling ive had since my old longboard broke 4 years ago. Looking forward too many great experiences. Great video earned a sub and a like from me bud.

Great vid bro, don't have an e-board but I longboard and skate. Loving ur vids at the mo. Stay Stoked

Thanks Ronnie 💐

Very helpful video i loved it bro, keep it up!!🫶

i just got an eletronic skate and im about to go out on it when i saw this, this vid has helped me alot thank you

Thanks Ronnie...... YOU ROCK!!!

Just picked up my Evolve Carbon GT on AT wheels 4 days ago and it hasn’t stopped pis**ng down with rain since! Downside to e boarding in the UK I suppose

Damn Ronnie, I literally just ordered a meepo v3 and I see this video in my sub feed. Sweet video and awesome timing!

hey there new electric longboarded here, over the last 13 days I've started riding one I've learned to start slow at one of the lowest speeds being 1 on my board, one of my number 1 rules for longboarding is don't try to be an expert when starting, Rule 1 Wear a Helmet and start slow and build yourself up to speed slowly on your new board, Rule 2 start at the lowest speed possible and as you get more and more comfortable ramp up the speed gradually if you start getting scared of going too fast and falling off make it your goal to get comfortable at the speed that you get to before the speed you start getting scared of riding at, slowly work your way up the bar and remember its not a race so take your time, Rule 3 There's no shame in bailing off your board especially in a dire situation where you might be at risk of falling off due to hitting a bad bump/pothole or hitting someone just remember to muscle train your thumb for your break if you have one on your board that way you can almost immediately stop your board from running out in the middle of the road or hitting someone accidentally, you're not alone out in the world be mindful of your surroundings, Rule 4 Know your Range if you're planning on riding without your charger or without knowing if you can charge up anywhere especially if you don't know how to ride a regular non powered board, Rule 5 Be Respectful and Mindful, Use crosswalk signals because they'll save your life and make sure you don't ride in the middle of the street or sidewalk like it was said in the video be sure to share the lanes and the paths with other drivers/riders/pedestrians, make sure you holler out to a pedestrian you may be coming up and around on and say on your left or on your right or which ever way your passing them on and slow down, sometimes tight spaces as I've learned can be your downfall depending on who you are because some people get anxiety in tight quarters and you could to and end up accidentally wobbling off the path or into a person, so Slow Down. Rule 6 Bring something to snack on or drink like water or a trail bar. oh and forgot to mention this but don't forget to test out which foot you are dominant with, an easy way to test this is to have someone push you and whichever foot you put out naturally first will determine which side of the board you ride on and if you're goofy footed or regular footed, with your goofy foot you'll have your right foot at the front of the board facing whichever way your normally riding and if you're regular footed you'll have your left foot at the front of the board. One last thing for new beginners, I Find that an empty parkinglot with Tarmac is one of the best places to get started with training on your new board, its super smooth and it provides great grip for your wheels which can help allow you to practice turning and swerving just make yourself a mental track that helps you practice all the things you should know about to help you ride your board, Happy Riding and if you read all this please leave a comment with some notes for other people to look at it would be much appreciated as I myself am still a new Rider.

Toe to heal. Like snowboarding. Let my son watch this to get educated since I’m a terrible teacher. Thank you sir! Interested in your board. Been riding a boosted for a while and thinking about trying something new.

haha, nice dance moves on the board! just fell off my mellow today. No visible damage, but i thing my knee got hurt #stillstaying stoked!

Killer tips dude! And those shades!

come on! another great vid from Ronnie!

So tempted to get one to ride it to the gym and back everyday

Just got my Meepo V3 this week. Awesome video!

Thank you it's also a very helpful I just got my board❤❤⚡⚡

Great tips and reminders. Keep it up and God bless:)

Thanks.. useful!

Picked up a used Boosted Mini X today! Excited to receive it on Friday, I’ll be riding all weekend!!!! 😁

I didn't even think about getting e-board until I started trying out basic longboard. I didn't fall at all and practiced couple times and day and thought I was ready for e-board at that point. I got it, fell couple times and was able to ride after that. It's a fun experience and completely changed my life on how I commute around the city.

I bought the Koowheel gen 2 and i‘m excited😊

This video is SO FCKN awesome! Thanks for the tips and good vibes!!💋👊

Hey there. New subscriber here. I have been watching your videos for the last two weeks, and it has motivated me to buy my first board. The Ikon Edge. I wanted to sat thank you for your easy to watch and super entertaining educational videos. Thanks!!!!
