 The whole board is just buttery, buttery smooth. Hey, what is up guys? It's Josh here today. I wanted to do a review on my Backfire G3. Now I actually picked up the Backfire G2T right when this whole pandemic thing came out. One of the reasons I got the board is because I like to review stuff. I wanted to put a nice video on YouTube, maybe jump into the e-skating realm, things like that. But right when I bought the G2T, it became discontinued. I was like, okay, I'm reviewing a discontinued board. Recently my G2T finally kicked out on me. Put the board through a lot of stuff and by the end I really didn't maintain almost anything on it. I didn't double check things. I didn't grease up the parts that you're supposed to grease up or any of that stuff. And the Backfire G2T kicked out about a thousand miles, which is pretty good considering that I wrote it under like all conditions. I wrote it on the sand at the beach, not in the sand, but there was so much sand around the beach that it was getting in the wheels. I wrote it for work and they put these sprinklers so I'm riding through water, things like that. So I'm gonna really take care of this board. Hopefully I can get it more than a thousand miles, but I really like the thousand miles of the G2T. G2T was my first board ever and I absolutely loved it. Everybody who stepped on the G2T just loved it too. Was so sold on it. I had a buddy of mine who wanted to create his own e-skate and was actually like making fun of me. Like, oh, you just wanna pay a lot of money for a crappy product. And then even he was saying, nah, like I'm only gonna buy this stuff because this board just does everything you want it to do. Let's jump over to the G3, which I think is actually better in every single way. In the G2T, I only had them in the front. This kind has both of the really, really good trucks in the front and the back and it just provides an amazing, amazing, amazing carving experience. Even my buddy who's used to the Mini Meepo, he hopped on this board and he was like, wow, you can really carve with it. It really just gives you almost like a 3D way of carving. I just absolutely love the two caliber two trucks and I really think that that's gonna set it apart from other e-skates as well just because of how good these trucks feel. The board is bigger, longer and wider. I actually think it might be a little bit taller. I had to get used to this at first because I'm used to how long my wheels are and how the turning and the carving feels based on how long the wheels are. It took me a second to get used to it, but overall, I gotta say that I do like it and when you get into great situations, when you're going high speed and you're carving and maybe you slip the extra length and the width, it's just gonna be more stable and it's gonna really provide you what you want in those crazy situations where you are going fast and you are carving and so you hit a rock. It just feels more stable and bigger. I was also looking at it and I'm like, well, this doesn't look like a big board. It doesn't look like oversized. It kind of feels a little bulky and big, but like I said, you could carve so easy with it. It really just doesn't look as big as it is. It looks like a normal board, which is what I want. I don't want this huge, gigantic board. The lights on the side are a nice plus. They're kind of like a little flex. Some people, the new thing is to put lights on the board. It's kind of nice that these are put in there and you can also turn them off to save battery too. Sometimes you want to look a little better. Sometimes you're going in the dark, so it's kind of nice for other people to know where you are and maybe even see a little bit of the surrounding areas with the light. I do like that option. It is a premium option. I could do without it, but I do like it. This board is very, very smooth, like I was saying before. I don't know if it's just those caliber two trucks or everything else, but the whole board is just buttery, buttery, smooth. I really, really enjoy it. By far the smoothest board that I've ever ridden. I think this is going to be a standard on all boards to come. Backfire had their strongest setting, their fastest setting was technically turbo mode. And in the G2T, you only had 30 seconds of turbo mode, which would cause a lot of problems. I would basically not even use it. And on top of that, the turbo mode wouldn't work once you were below three bars. So it was like half the time it wouldn't work. And then when you forgot on the 30 seconds, like if you forgot that you had the turbo mode on or you're flooring it with turbo, when it goes out of turbo mode, it'll jolt the board. So it will still come out of the best of the turbo. Now it's a full turbo, absolutely. Love it. It's kind of leaving on turbo most of the time just because of the acceleration on the uphill. That's really where you need it. I use my E-skate at work and it's very, very, very crowded. So sometimes I'm waiting for a car to go and then they'll let me pass. And the extra acceleration really, really is nice. Also going uphill, my buddy has the Mini Meepo 2. It's really, really strong. And I think I was able to go faster than an uphill with this board, although his board is a little bit border. That cost the turbo, absolutely do love it. So this board is 100% balanced. I know this is kind of a weird thing to say, but with my backfire D2T, one of the sides was much nicer than the other side. So one side was more tight with the transducer, the other side was more loose to, let's say, by switching from two feet to regular or by Spursa. One side is just gonna be a little loose. This was the G2T. My G3 is 100% balanced, so I just wanted to put that out there. The G2T, although it had that slant, I loved it still and I had no problems with it. I'm just saying that the G3 is 100% balanced, like I want it to be. This board is supposed to be kind of like a flexi deck. And when you see it online, people jumping on it, it seems really, really flexi. However, it's really, really stable. I do weigh like 195 pounds. I'm a little heavy, but this one really felt stable. It really doesn't feel springy. Maybe if you get into a situation where you're pushing it really hard, it will give a little bit, but it doesn't really feel like that. It feels very, very stable. Almost more stable than my G2T, which is a stiff style deck. And apparently the G3 Plus is gonna be stiff too, but this one is supposed to be more flexi. I just find that the flexiness helps to absorb kind of chatter. I don't really feel like it's making me lose any stability. I've only really tried Mepo boards and backfire boards, but I really enjoy the ease into acceleration that you get with a backfire. My friends, Mepo, it's very, like, as soon as you push the power up, it just takes off. As soon as you put the brake, it just breaks. You know, it's very blunt and very quick. I could get around it. It's not the worst thing, but I really do enjoy the premium feel of being able to ease into acceleration and ease into brake. It just is a much more smooth and predictable experience. I enjoy it. I like the new charging port and USB. The way they put the charging port in this one is much more... It's just much better on the G2T. The charging port was on the very bottom of the board, so you'd have to plug it in, and then the cord would be basically running up against the ground. Now the charging port is sideways. It's not under the board, so you could set the board up normal and just plug it on the side. Basically, the charging is a lot better. The turning on of the button, the button's a lot smaller, which is nice because I just feel like you're gonna have less issues with it, it's gonna get scratched less. Overall, just a really good redesign of absolutely everything that they possibly could with this board. I know this is kind of expensive. If you're into e-skating, I would get this one or the G3 Plus, but if you're somebody who's just getting into it, right now they got the G2s, and they updated the G2s so that they're just a little bit better than they were before. I think they have some of the new features of the G3 and the new G2s, so if you're looking for a budget board, 100% would recommend the G2. Fantastic. I basically had the G2T. Some things were better on it, some things were worse on it compared to the new G2. I 100% am loving the G3 so far. I think I'm on maybe 50 miles or something so far, but I've ridden 1,000 miles on the other one, and I could tell really quick right away pretty much all I would need to know about this one, so maybe I'll do a review around 500 miles or 1,000 miles, but anyways, guys, that's been my review of the G3. Highly recommended, so, so nice. Hopefully by the next time this one kicks out, backfire will have a better board or we'll update it. That would be great, but anyways, guys, let me know what E-skate you're writing down below. Let me know what videos I should do next. One of the 25,000 subscribers, and I couldn't do that. Anyway, guys, I hope I'm having a great day out here. Hopefully having a great day at home. See you all in the next video. Peace.
