holy moly, i just did the conversion: 100kph = 62.1371mph

ive only passed 40mph (64kph) a handful of times, and it was incredibly uncomfortable (granted, i dont wear pants, helmet, gloves*, wrist guards, etc)

but even so, i would prefer to stay below 35mph (56kph)

so yeah, these dudes are literally insane

hahah well played

i mean, sometimes i do. i ride almost every day spring summer and fall. so towards the end of fall, i wear pants

and ill occaissonally ride in the winter, but the road salt (for melting snow) is bad for longboard wheels, and bad for e-skate belt* drives

i do switch to hub wheels tho and ride with pants on lol

My top speed recorded on my snowboard was 78.5 km/h according to my Strava app. Quit being such a pussy.

thats close top 50mph. thats impressive

not sure if ive ever hit that. in the 40s for sure tho. and i would go in the 50s if i had the opportunity

but 60mph on pavement is like 90mph on the snow. its ludacrous

Snow seems forgiving but if you’re going fast it ain’t on powder. My fast days are basically snow packed down to ice rink.

I used to go real fast on longboards...no power slides though

could have easily turned my brain to mush with a single crash(no helmet)

had a few big crashes but I always managed to find somebodies grassy lawn or bushes to slow my fall/roll
