Back in the saddle

Last night after work I got a haircut, the first one since early July. I have been trying to let my hair grow out a bit and still am but it was getting to look pretty unkempt. The stylist basically just evened things out, keeping most of the length instead of doing the skin fade, high and tight look I have been sporting for quite a long time. It felt good to get a little cleaned up.

I took the Max 6 skateboard out for it’s first road test last night. It had been probably at least 4 years since I stepped on an electric skateboard, probably longer, so I was very cautious at first. The board felt very stable even though I did not. I wound up taking it for a ride that was in the neighborhood of three to four miles including a stop at Wawa. The more time I rode the more speed I carried, topping out at just under 22mph which is the fastest I ever had gone on an EKS8.

The Max 6 has large “cloud” wheels that make rolling over small debris on the road more manageable and safer. The board has a lot of power which I only lightly tapped into during the ride. I wound up enjoying myself more than I expected and hope to get out on the long board more often. I spent the remaining part of the evening editing the footage which took a couple hours.

It was the kind of Tuesday evening I had not had in awhile and I enjoyed it.
