so the story about how today's video came about is actually a pretty good one
they're both probably [ __ ] dangerous
so today's video is gonna be me trying two pairs of hover shoes which one will
be better the brand name or the knockoff or will i ever even find
out
speaking of finding out uh i just found out that cablemod's vertical pci express
bracket lets you securely mount your graphics card vertically inside your case it's gonna be about the only
securely mounted thing in this video i think it includes a pci express riser
cable two display adapter cables and it's compatible with most cases that have seven open pci express lots check
it out today at the link in the video description
so first order of business was
digging around and seeing if i could find some protective gear to wear
unfortunately we got rid of i think all the knee pads and elbow pads from nerd
sports but my old motorcycle helmet which is
expired so it's no longer suitable for road use
is here and i will be wearing that you should just duct tape some pillows
yeah i mean if we had pillows then
oh no no we do we built a bedroom set
oh i can protect my precious butt and
that's the money maker right there you know no one watches these videos for the
tech knowledge it's all about the butt
yeah i feel like my butt could take a pounding now
i just want to see if we have any of the old Channel Super Fun
uh protective gear okay more knee pads
and uh we don't have any elbow pads but we do have knee pads but this is better
than nothing so
thanks i do want to clarify something
i'm not some kind of you know electric
personal transportation device you know noob
oh shoot i regularly still ride my z
board electric ski or ski board from all of my experience riding these types of
devices i have seen nothing that would
indicate to me that this is a good idea
at least gonna put on a couple layers here because i forgot to bring in my
motorcycle jacket safety first baby which one do you want
to see brand name or off brand brand brand name first all right let's
do it so this is the segway
drift w1 maybe the drift is for how far they've
drifted from their position as the market leader
i have never ridden these and in fact the first time i took them out of the
box there was a glitched out issue with one of them that was able to be resolved
but i have never ridden them i just kind of put my foot on one of them so they
don't seem to really have like a forward and backwards but the power buttons are
right over here and they double as a battery indicate
and we're off to a good start aren't we my concern here is not really balance
but how you keep from kind of ending up uh
with your legs like this and having a hard time getting them back together
because these aren't rollerblades very comfortable on rollerblades
uh really
whoa oh baby holy crap
oh i wish i was on ground that was a little bit more level
okay so we're gonna go a little slow to start
it's a little trickier than i'm used to
whoa so once you start going
on a standard hoverboard it's only the first little bit where you feel like
kind of lurchy whereas these it's hard to feel
completely stable on them at least you know this is my first time riding them
mind you but i mean what do you want to see david i want to see you do like a slalom course
yeah i'm super down do we have cones it's time to head inside whoa
oh man
i'm good
hey that was that was a lot better that was a mushy bump mind you
Ethernet cable no problem power cable
huh i am not even gonna try that
is this all we got for cones i mean i guess that's realistically
that's probably enough right does it really matter i gotta say on a completely smooth floor
it is a little easier
oh it's powered you look at this and you go
you're back here well heck yeah i've been on this how
long ten minutes my ankles are so sore
already let's set up this obstacle course if i can pull off three turns through it
we like time it or something call that pretty good
okay all right okay google
start my stopwatch sorry stopwatch is not yet supported
you suck so much stopwatch is not yet supported
these are hover shoes sir well they don't really hover they just
got big rollers are you just balancing on those are you strapped yeah you lean
back or you lean forward no you're not strapped and you just but
they're like segway they're made by segway yeah yeah
did you really say what the fog are those all right you ready here here's your
timer three seem reasonable
okay because you know i'm going max speed here right
max power
oh no okay that's hard
oh dang it
together shoe and time time
oh shoot one minute 27 on the segway brand
all right let's try the off brand now
it's getting away it's running away hey shut up
okay
where'd the other mask go some guy drove through here did he like
clip it and send it flying somewhere where did it go
it's just gone it's so bizarre
okay there's something about the same there red battery
oh boy do they immediately look cheaper
oh that's some quality plastic right there
one thing that i kind of appreciate i guess is they've got a ridge on the side
so your foot can't rotate too much i don't really get this it's just like a
carrying handle or something that's so you can attach a chain and use it as a
boat anchor wait wait
we got a live one here do these ones hover on their own or do
you have to get on them can't tell the
indicator leds not very bright
hey there we go okay it's on now so far functionally they seem very
similar the brakes work that's a positive
indicator you know what i do want to test going in that door
so the other effect of harder wheels or harder tires is that they're
less forgiving on bumps it's immediately noticeable
uh i want to try going over the
how did this get here oh so sweaty
all right see how this goes
it seems i mean acceptable i wouldn't recommend it on
either of them
all right now worst case scenario it's not a red battery that gets run over at
least so far the biggest drawback is actually
one that i didn't really expect and it's hard breaking because it's hard to break
exactly evenly and then once you get spread
it's hard to bring it back together you know
oh
all right we're going max feed here
oh shoot
hit a rock
cornering on these ones noticeably worse
gotta get around yeah
119.7 baby
these ones definitely corner better
and absorb little bumps in the road and mishaps
better these ones frankly i don't even know how much
either of them cost but these ones are probably cheaper
but they both cost too much because
these are really stupid um if the argument is that they're compact
and when you get to where you're going you can you can throw them in your bag
and you can carry them around with you oh oh maybe but you're reaching so hard
because they're really heavy these are better than these but i wouldn't
recommend either of them i'm sure many of you here have had a bad
