These lists are always hilarious. What’s frustrating is that those who know boards, never make these lists. Daniel, would be great if someone with your Esk8 knowledge posted a list

[ravenous]

Sounds like the article was written by AI

[chargencarve]

Definitely feels like an AI wrote this article.

I'm just impressed Forbes didn't make the entire list all about Evolve boards.

[mdd]

Daniel… honestly… why don’t you write summaries for all boards you’ve reviewed? This would be my go to. You could also give actual comparable specs (slicing through the marketing jumble).

I love your channel and your honest reviews!

Finally! I have been anxiously waiting for Forbes to release their expertly selected picks, everyone knows they are the most trusted name in eskate. I would never buy a board unless it was Forbes Vetted. Take their 30 under 30 list for example. Every single person they have "chosen" has gone on to do great things and be super successful and trustworthy. I'm glad that they pointed out the boards that have brake regen. It is such a wonderful feature to just be able to hit the brakes and have it charge your battery to full. It almost feels like it's breaking the laws of physics but as Forbes says, as long as you tap the brakes before your board completely runs out of battery and shuts down you are safe and a now back at full battery and ready to shredy. The roads are pretty bumpy where I live, so I'm glad that Forbes highlighted that carbon fiber decks offer the best flex and shock absorption

You should make your recommendation list😅

[slaxxx]

I’m always in awe, when I read an article from a serious publisher, when the article happens to be something I’m knowledgeable on, how bad the info is, Similar to this article. It makes me very suspicious when I’m reading about other subjects in not familiar with.

[davidmcgowen]

You are 100% correct they don’t really know what they’re talking about. Good review keep up the good work.

[pandrews]

Great Video!!! I'm glad you were able to weigh-in as I'm certain many would take a Forbes review as gospel. Your board reviews, your testing and your opinions are valuable. I do enjoy your videos.

[DrewElia]

I dont know what you're talking about DK, carbon fiber boards are the BEST AT SHOCK ABSORPTION... like do you even ride these boards?!
😆😆 its not a totally horrible list, i would have also changed some things around as well but they are just sad people sitting in an office writing about something they don't even use.

[eBoardR]

⚡🤙🏼 *It's interestin that there's an article in Forbes at all lol* 🤙🏼⚡

[GarethDix]

Forbes is definitely the place I would go for info on skateboards. Now I have to go to go ask my grandmother for advice on my YouTube strategy

[benbucklerboards]

Hey Daniel, thanks for getting your thoughts out there. Entertaining :) As a retailer in Sydney, Australia, the biggest part of our advice to customers includes our experience with supporting these boards. Getting a replacement part from Meepo can take weeks, while we can support Evolve boards much quicker here.

[jilomemendoza]

this simply tells us that forbes doesn't know what they are writing about 😅

[patrickvanwieren]

Imagine using a founder of DGK, a regular skateboard company, as a reliable source for a product that is an electric longboard, fundamentally different than a skateboard at its most basic level. I find it hilarious that they didn't reach out to e-skate groups or creators to hear more about what to look for in an e-skate, but rather turned to skate company owners and other non- e-skate brand owners for criteria. You can't make this stuff up 😂.

[adnankazi]

So my question is which board to buy for on and off road and over all best skateboard ?

[andrewcirco]

Where is the exway wave on that list and the backfire zealot? And why is the wowgo 3e the most versatile?

[arrow]

Does anyone at Forbes even know how to stand on a manual skateboard never mind ride an electric one?

[snodcyv]

The text part of the forbes list is indeed questionable. But the boards itself are descent. Most website reviews are made of awful low quality amazon boards from 2018-2019.
