Ugh, not a good skateboard stance on the short board! It is "dangerous" because your front foot is placed over and past the front truck. This is essentially a longboard stance squeezed into a shorter space. It's a recipe for being thrown off the board, either from sudden stops, with no room to slide the foot forward, tight carves (ESPECIALLY with the surf adaptors) causing wheel bite off your foot, inability to rapidly foot brake, and drastically increasing the chance of speed wobbles. Long boards skills don't translate unmodified to skateboards!
That skateboard is electric so it does have breaks and the only other thing I can do is move my foot before the wheel indents but I'll try that and tell you if it works better
@@esk8_01 The best position is weight placed directly on or just behind both sets of truck bolts. With boards with kick tails, the rear foot is often shifted to the tail. This is particularly the case for regular skateboards, as trick landing off the bolts drastically increases the likelihood of cracked decks! Land on the bolts, shift the back foot back to tail. Not much of a concern for e-skates, but it is still the most stable position, and why the deck is usually widest at this point, to accommodate your feet (and so they don't hit the wheel on tight carves). Having brakes actually exacerbates these issues, because if your foot is at the very front edge of the board and you hit a bumpy patch, especially if you have brake, you run a very high risk of your foot sliding off the front edge of the board! As mentioned, you also can't foot brake, an essential skill even for e-boards. And because your foot is past the front edge of the truck, you can not stabilize your weight, because moving your back foot cause the tail to rise, and throw your forward.
@@ManifoldSky I did have my feet over the front screws but they are pretty far backwards on the deck and if you have your feet to far back your board basically just does a manual when you accelerate
@@esk8_01 Feet over bolts is for landing tricks. For cruising, it's feet behind the bolts. That's why the deck is widest at this point, to accommodate your feet. For maximum side to side stability (the important kind) feet should best be parallel to direction of travel, and perpendicular to the deck. If your toes are off the front and side edges of the board (like at 3:50) it increases the likelihood that a tight carve will cause wheel bite into your foot, and a hard jolt will slide your foot entirely off the front. This is especially true if the board has brakes that have to be deployed suddenly. It also makes it impossible to quickly react in situations where you have to move your rear foot, as doing so risks lifting the back end of the board off the ground. This is especially true if you have to suddenly foot brake, an essential skill, even for e-skaters with brakes. One can get away with this on a longboard, where the margins error is much higher, and the geometry of the deck prevents some the worst issues, but short boards are far less forgiving!
If you're using a meepo mini 2 I would not recommend doing the 120 mm cloud wheels swap because it's really hard and you won't be able to switch back I would get the Meepo 105 mm wheels and drive kit instead if you need something larger then I would recommend getting Marlon love wheels but those take ages to and are also quite hard to put on you will also loose a lot of range with the Marlon love wheels
