Freda Latou Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 Cross-country use here http://www.youtubedoubler.com/?video1=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DnBK6QXh3fuE&start1=0&video2=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D1toaxGJY-_8&start2=0&authorName=aphrocarlin Moutainboard spares 2 kg on each leg movement, tons in one hour , so less tiring than suv With skogging it s possible to do 20 km on paths on a moutainboard if you use always the same leg its very tiring Quote
SoutherlyBuster Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 I ride both moutain boards (pneumatic tires) and skate board. No way one would want to do 20 km of pushing off on a mountain board, the rolling resistance and the wheels getting in the road of pushing off are just to big a hinderance. Now compare a long board and especially the ones designed for long distance touring, 15 to 20 km no sweat. Switching stance, hmm never really got the hang of it, just manage fine with standard stance. Mongoose, yikes, give that a miss. Quote
Freda Latou Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Posted January 28, 2017 With 6 bar pressure it s quite fast but tiring of course but using both legs to push makes effort more standable. Moutainboard ist boring on roads because to slow in comparison to longboard, I prefer on paths Quote
SoutherlyBuster Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 Try a long board with drop through trucks, a drop down deck and some flex to the deck, makes a big difference to long distance flat ground trips. Your feet are closer to the ground to put the energy easier to propel forward. Still love my Mountain boards, just reserve them for down hill on dirt and with the kites. Quote
Freda Latou Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Posted January 28, 2017 I use long boards to. But I like to go in the woods and for that kind of use I wanted to say mountain board is less tiring than SUV not what I was thinking before trying have a good ride. Fred Quote
SoutherlyBuster Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 SUV? Over hear we understand SUV as a type of autombile, I take it you mean someting else? Quote

123matt Posted January 29, 2017 Report Posted January 29, 2017 I like skating but that doesn't look like much fun. Quote
Freda Latou Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Posted January 30, 2017 Compared to pu wheels skating it looks slow. But having air wheels is very comfortable on and off road. it s just very tiring Sorry I can't do that Quote
