Just took my inaugural spin on my Polarizer. Went with the complete kit from Heated Wheel and I'm super happy how it came out. The water color graphic looks really nice.

It's totally freaky just pumping around on such a small board. There's a little alley behind my apartment with some mini banks and bollards to slalom through, had a good ol time.

That’s one fly rig my G, sick!!!

I'm getting confused by the different ways people measure the WB on polarizers, do you mind telling me the WB on the fiber rider measured in the traditional way? I'm thinking about making one out of an old snowboard.

I don’t know the reasoning but WB is measured axel to axel on polarizers.

This has got to be an ultimate troll.

It's literally called a cork TOP.

Maybe I'm giving Mr Hill too much credit here, but this totally seems like one of those intentionally wrong things a content creator would do to get engagement on a post.

a couple people nicely mentioned that he may be riding it upside down, but no one has had the balls to tell him how actually stupid he is and how embarrassed he should be

"JH'd algo" too good

Man I watch so much Youtube and all kinds of people there. Skaters, Halo and Nintendo gamers, Yoga and health people. But I can't get into this John Hill dude for some reason. Some weird vibes and it all feels like fake positivity. Sorry John, you might be really cool for all I know but it just isn't for me.
