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.

Skateboarder here.

The smaller your wheels, the smaller pebble it takes to stop the board and pitch you off. And the smaller pebbles are, the harder they are to see. And the faster you go, the harder it is to see small pebbles.

So, yeah, dangerous. I was thrown off a skateboard hitting a pebble I didn’t see at <15 mph and cut my face open. I’d hate to same rock at 45 mph.

The wheels in the pic look like they would choke on an acorn, or even something smaller. Not interested in finding out. I think this board is for the track. :)
