Battery is too big to fly with anyway.

Ghosting issue was solved with recall and was only present when user hopped off board. Using simple stop or heel lift doesn’t ghost, even with bad sensor.

IIRC that mag was started by people that defected from The Mother News when TMEN "sold out and went corporate and lost it's way".

NGL, I prefer TMEN first 10 years to all the years that followed, too. But I prefer the first 2 years of Backwoods to all the years that followed there as well.

Seems like they split on "political" lines. You'll prefer Mother if you identify as a DEM and Backwoods if you identify as a REP. And if you can actually think for yourself you'll find 20-30% value in each.

You know, reading yours and other comments here...I think I'm going to revisit it. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mental space to receive it when I did. Before the end of the year, I'm going to give it another chance. But if I still feel the same after a second viewing, I'm planting my metaphorical flag.

Those things are so incredibly dangerous. The slightest thing goes wrong (heck, even if it just loses power for any reason) and you're slamming shoulder first into the ground at relatively high speeds.

Their design leads to inherently more dangerous falls than something like roller blades or a skateboard. You don't continue in a mostly forward direction and roll, instead you tilt forward and then just splat into the ground.
