I owned a first gen Evolve Carbon skateboard back in 2014. That thing was capable of something like 24 mph, but I took it over 10 mph maybe five times total, and every time I did it was brief and nerve-wracking. In two years of commuting over two miles to work and back on it every day, I'm proud to say I managed to never have to put my hand on the ground. I had to bail a few times -- broke the drive belt once, and hit a few serious pavement gaps and rocks -- but I never went down. Phew!
