Agree. Wheels are too small. Any sort of issue and your face is cheesegraded against the asphalt.

On a known, smooth course, though? Sign me up!

Yeah, and for how much money people lay down for their micromobility devices, very few of them seem willing to put down the $20 for a Walmart helmet, much less a $100+ helmet from a reputable brand.

Closed course would be good. Something I can slide on in kneepads if/when I eat shit.

It's OK I put my hands down to catch myself, broken wrist / collar bone can't be that that bad....

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
