Riding My Metroboard Electric Skateboard - Filmed With GoPro HD Hero - By Jason McGarva
Loading...
Uploaded by JasonMcGarva on Jun 1, 2011
This is a home movie I made of myself riding my electric motorized skateboard called the Metroboard. I filmed it using my GoPro HD Hero camera using the headstrap mount and the tripod mount screwed onto an xshot pro camera extender. The song is With A Spirit by 009 Sound System and is available on iTunes. Here are the websites for everything I used:

Do you still have this board? What is your opinion of the board now that it's been about 9 months since posting this video? What did you find the real-world mileage to be on a full charge? Lastly, how did the metroboard handle inclines/declines? Thanks in advance for any info.

@escobar644 - I've had this board for 2 years, and I've never had a problem with it. I've ridden this thing on some pretty bad road conditions with some sand, debris, and pebbles, and nothing has ever gotten stuck in the belt. It's pretty well sealed off thanks to a metal shield. Battery life is fine. I'm sure the stated distance and speed are under optimal conditions, but I'm 180lbs and it pulls me just fine... even uphill. Amazing toy to have! Downhill is fine thanks to the electronic brake.

So cool! Love it.
Are you using a Wii remote??
You can try to angle upward your XShot more and keep your arm to your body so you don't see the pole :)
Looks so much fun, great video mixing the different angles and cameras!

@xshotpix - Yeah, the Metroboard uses a wireless Wii remote to control it. This was my first video, and I will experiment with angles more next time. Your device is pretty sweet :)
