Kamloops would be fun. The whole place is hills.

I was thinking of getting a long board, but uphills would suck.

One wheel might be where its at.

And how many miles is too many. Most seem to be 500-700 miles

I wouldn’t bat an eye at 1000km on an Xr. These things are tough AF. Mine has a lot of gravel rash and cow ch!t on it so it might not fetch top dollar on the used market.

Grabbed a bigger one today. Only rode it 10' but it feels waaaay different. Had to convince the wife that the xr was safer and more stable.

Anyone interested in a pint?

Haha we have a 5 month old so it's hard to both go riding as we have no family close by to babysit. Otherwise we would keep it.

I've thought about putting him in one of those baby carrier backpack things but if I ever ate crap, I'd hurt him pretty good.

That XR is so safe the baby back pack is a great idea!

No different than a baby seat on the back of a 10 speed that we all survived through!

I know I ate it one time crossing the road and hit a big lip on the curb. I cartwheeled across the road haha

Ya. But you surly would have sacrificed your own face before the baby perished!

Now you got an XR!

I was just watching that video. Probably best to wait a while before grabbing a GT

Different. A bit more stable but harder to carve and make tight turns if you need to spin around on the sidewalk. The pint seems to hit harder taking off where the xr is smoother getting up to speed.

That being said, I did a couple kms on big, loose gravel today and I wouldn't try that on the pint on the first ride of the season.
