Thanks so much! Those are the 80mm. They give the bike a BMX feel for sure. I actually just added a pair to my hardtail Roscoe and what a game changer!
She has on a standard winter boot, I have a pair of Salomon winter boots I use when I ride. This edition SnoGo does build snow and ice in the footwells making it a challenge for any boot IMO. I keep a tool with me for digging it out every so often.
@@sakomeow now I’m listening to Scorpions and Def Leppard on my road trip tomorrow! If you think but rock is dead check out Girish and the Chronicles! This video is old and was before I was using pro tools for production like I would today. Makes for a big difference in audio mixing abilities. If you check out my more recent day at the lake video - that was actually recorded with a decent microphone too. There is even an no music version for you! :) Sounds much better than the GoPro 10 you hear here lol.
I've had a Carveboard for aobut 20 years now. Very niche piece of equipment. You need just the right slope to maintain speed, but not so steep that you rocket down the hill. Definitley NOT a downhill board, as you found out! Nothing really beats the surf feel of it though when you find the right grade.
I am very happy with my transit order and feel thankful I got it when I did as it seems they will be very rare now that they are no longer being imported and part of the current sales line up for Ford. There are still a few 23 models in dealer inventory in my area.
I just closed on a low mileage 2020 today, with barn doors. Same thought process wanting the passenger for the finished cabin and versatility. I’ll turn this into a weekender, pull the two rear row seats and one of the other seats.
That's great. I'm too scared to ride on the road I live in Korea, and I'm still enjoying carvestik, which is 25 years old. I want to buy parts, but I'm sad because there's no place to sell them now
58 and starting to skateboard. I added a D30 pad to my Bodyprox tailbone area. Got it all but upgrading to the Triple Eight Knee pads and adding ankle sleeves. Thanks.
Good stuff! Hells yeah, I have not been out as much as I would like lately but did surf the new Velo Pumptrack! Keep rollin my man and stay safe! Thanks for commenting and sharing
Learning how to Ollie on a carver mayhem myself! How are you liking that particular deck? I’m interested in getting one with c5 trucks to do more street skate stuff but still keep that surfy flow when riding transition. Also what size wheels are those? Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Had a bit of a skate progression set back with a broken knee two winters ago now. Back on the skates again and learning all over. I got some rock to fakies and having lots of fun cruising around again. Not near where I was tho before the injury. The C5's are so flow in parks and ramps and much better suited to them imo. Make sure to check out my kingpin hack video for them tho if you are grinding. Those were ruff-rider wheels then, I have 55mm dragons on the deck now. I did like how "cruiser" like the other wheels were but the dragons have just the right amount of slide for me and still grip but have that solid traditional skate feels. Unlike most surf skates. My custom c5 set up is hands down my favorite now vs all 3 Carver systems. I need to do an updated comparison video soon!
20,000 miles is really nothing when it comes to longevity. If I buy a car I always want to know how long it lasts. Edmunds says this vehicle is of low quality.
Edmunds data is debatable on the Transit... 90% of it is likely from fleet or commercial use vehicles. Go ahead and let hourly employees drive your vans for years and let's see how many repairs ANYTHING would need after that lol. 1 year review is certainly not a "longevity" test :)
@@boisebroncoadventures I have a 2014 van that I bought used with about 50k miles. From the beginning the gears didn't shift right and many things broke before it even had 60k miles like water pump, air con and more. I decided to get it repaired bc of the cost to replace it. But it doesn't speak for the quality. For the transmission I did a fluid change and hope the car holds up. Overall I don't think it's build to a high quality.
OMG I didn't knew. I've been on the fence about this van because despite being a great solution to my needs I'm feeling the pull from mainstream towards SUVs but after learning this I think I'll pull the trigger on the decision. Thanks for the information and the review.
You bet! Thanks for the feedback and best of luck with acquiring said van! I need to do a 1 year review, just hit the 20k mark and have been traveling with it for my photography biz.
I agree! I was at an event just this weekend and someone was like "I'm gonna look into getting one of those!" and I didn't even have the heart to tell them.
How does the wheelbase affect different people for example if you have an 18 inch and that’s suited for your stance vs me who has a stance of 16 inch and get a Surfskate with 18 inch wheelbase? How would it affect my experience?
Totally agree :) but as a noob I was just trying to understand if I used a Surfskate with a bigger recommended wheelbase according to the formula, how would they affect my skating? Would it make it harder to pump, would it be less fun etc?
@@trishanamungal8566 the shorter wheelbase will be much more responsive and “snappy”. The longer will be smoother with longer more drawn out carves perfect for sidewalks
I did :) and it says 15-17 inch. Actually thinking of the exact CX in your video but it seems super snappy. Never tried it and can’t demo hence my confusion
Didn't know you were injured as I have watched some of your videos, so great you are back. I'm 64 and surfskating with my daughter who has a slide surfskate. I had a CX copy but didnt like the deck, so now I am thinking of the C5 as I am very tentitive in the skate park but want to improve. Maybe the lower lighter setup will help, say Santa Cruz Screaming hand with C5. Whats your thoughts on this? I don't think wheelbite will be an issue at my level. Maybe that you have come back and are using a C5 answers my question.
Thanks for the support! I totally think your c5 Santa Cruz combo would be amazing! I kept the stock spacers when I swapped decks and I think the carver truck set will come with them. I have that sweet Natus I built and am tempted to swap the indies for my CX trucks.
Welcome back. I know mentally it is hard when you can't do what you want to do, especially after really getting into a solid progression. Don't worry or be hesitant when you skate. You will over correct. Just skate and trust yourself and don't overdo it. Stay Rad Sir.
Thanks so much for the pro tip! I will keep that in mind next sessions for sure. The knee was a bit sore after this even though I didn't tweak anything. I think it is just mad at me from the 2 days of consecutive skating. These old bones and joints of mine... yuck
For sure - thank you so much. I still need to get out this year, been slowly getting this knee back. I did do some nordic skiing but unsure about the Sakana's still. Even if I do go skiing I will still bring the bike tho... Last winter was a game changer. I learned to do a completely new winter sport. I have been an avid MTB rider for a very long time just never make videos about it... maybe I should! :) Anyway - riding the bike like a bike and not trying to carve like I am on skis took me quite a while to adjust too. Places you may avoid on ski's could be just the ticket for a Sno-Go ha ha ha! So cool! Please let me know how you like it!!!
Ordered the same deck for the hardware. it was cheaper than buying just the c5 trucks, wheels and hardware kit just waiting for a braille skateboard blank deck then planing on learning to tricks i am 39
Just saw this Snogo and I love to try it, I have a bad right knee meniscus and ACL just about gone so Sking is out of the question, this TriKe-looking thing may be the answer, where are you it absolutely beautiful slopes? I dont have any experience skiing, I watch a lot of skiing on TV however
Oner of the coolest things about a SnoGo is how easy they are to learn on. MY knee is still not 100% so looks like I will be hitting the slopes on the SnoGo again this season.
Thanks for this video. I want to try a surfskate but have been overwhelmed by the different reviews and opinions on the best trucks. This video made me decide on the C5 because i come from a traditonal skate background and have never surfed in my life.
Nice review! I'll have to try those out... A few years ago I switched to wearing merino wool year round. Warm in the winter and seems to be less sweaty in the summer.🤷♂️
42 and learning to skate with my 10 year old in Meridian, took a good body slam in the driveway the other day, yup! Time to get some pads 😂 hope to see you out at one of the parks someday 🤙
Ouch! I have not been out much since I destroyed my knee last winter skiing. I will get out and skate again soon tho I may learning all over again lol.
Ahhh the US soccer mom van. Not comparable to me as it is only available with a lift gate. For some van adventures that can work just fine, especially for the $. The Chrysler seat fold down in the van may just the best of any van or suv - but you will have to get past those horrible cheap plastic interiors and unreliable and outdated powertrains.
SUPER helpful video! Thanks for making it. Currently considering either the C7 or CX for flatland pump-cruise riding. I’ve got other longboards and skateboards for other types of riding. My reason for my interest in this one is getting that surfy feel and being able to easily generate speed from pumping instead of pushing. Definitely leaning towards the C7. Once again thanks for the video. Looking forward to checking out more of your content. 😎👍
i live near Toronto. do you think i should get the mte 2 for the winter, i walk like a mile or so to catch a bus, will it hold up in the snow or will my feet get too cold?!
Yeah I was beginning to wonder if a backwards front truck is some surf skate trend or something I've been skateboarding since animal chin got lost and it's not anything ive ever seen I was surprised he didn't eat shit when he was riding the ramp .
This is what I am leaning towards but being beg/int longboarder, non-surfer some people tell me C7 too difficult getting started. This right here is exactly what I envision instead of tricks and bowls. Thoughts on learning curve with greenroom C7 or CX?
Thinking of getting the MTE3. I live in Las Vegas and get snow in the mountains nearby so getting them mainly as a winter hike boot, not a daily walker. My only concern is, will they be too warm to wear say in the summer? Or will the insulation keep them cool in the summer and warm in the winter?
@@boisebroncoadventureslol Thanks man. I might still get them. Since I only go skiing maybe 5 times during the winter, they'll probably last me for years then. Good investment when I think of it that way.
