Hi from the Netherlands

Hello from The Netherlands, my name is Gies.
I joined this forum 2 weeks ago and have been lurking ever since. This electric skateboarding fenomenon woke me up, I was a fanatic skateboarder in my teens, some 45 years ago ...
Before purchasing a Carbon GT board I wanted to read about it and joining makes reading this forum a lot easier.
This is what I ordered 10 minutes ago from Evolve Germany, just curious how long I have to wait …

See you.

 

welkom, vanwaar ben je?

 

My Carbon GT is on it's way from Germany.

 

Uit Apeldoorn, ... I'm from Apeldoorn.

 

You will have a lot of fun with your board.....! Groeten uit Arnhem

 

Thanks, I'm patiently waiting for the mailman now.
Arnhem ..., vanwege je pin op de user map dacht ik dat je omgeving Soestduinen woonde.

 

The board is getting closer.

 

No more waiting, the board arrived today, took 1 week from ordering to delivery.
Standard box and some goodies.

 

Have fun....!

 

Just came back from my first ride on a CGT ever, it was cold but I couldn't stop smiling.
After 35 minutes of accelerating, carving and braking in all modes I did 8,2 km and topped at 35 km/h in GT mode.

 

niiice... stay safe..

 

Ha those GT wheels look mad. Did they come with your board or did you get them from somewhere else?

 

I bought these MBS T3 tyres from Evolve Germany. This Australian "Scooter Hut" sells them.

 

Rain is expected every day for the next 2 weeks.

 

haha, join the club... have my board since November...drove 4 times since..... cause of the beautifull Belgian weather.. LOL

 

Then I can't complain with 6 rides in 2 weeks, total 68 km.

 

My first try at making a skateboard video, I still have a lot to learn.


My first try at making a skateboard video was more difficult than I expected, these were some of my rookie mistakes.
- The pass was to close to the camera and wanted to stop in the center
- I had to remove a branch from the beltcover
- You now know what shoes I wear
- I need a stabilizer of some sort
- The camera wasn’t screwed down properly
- I lost the camera at one point
- I need a better tripod or clamp
- Meet my trouser leg
- The high speed shot and the fun shots at the end were OK
Making a nice video is all about location, preparation, the right equipment, full batteries etc. You have to shoot a lot for just a short video, I will be back with another video.

 

Gisteren ook een toertje gereden.. zaaalig!!
