Ask HN: how do you use your electric skateboard?

I recently purchased an electric skateboard (you can read about it here http://situationundercontrol.com/blog/2014/04/22/my-new-ride-an-e-glide-gt-powerboard/) and I'm curious about how other people use their boards. Do you mainly commute short distances, or just ride for fun? Also, what kind of board do you have and do you like it? My commute is a little too dangerous for a skateboard (15+ miles on a two-lane road with very little shoulder), but I have a blast riding around town. If you're in the Boulder, CO area, I'd be happy to compare boards!
