Tonight at 9:30pm #moopmovie is having its world premiere at the #oldenburgfilmfestival and me and the team will be arriving to the theater on #electricskateboards (as long as we don’t get ticketed on the way). #Germanlaw is behind #Switzerland, #Singapore and #California at making these eco transportation options allowed in the bike lane. To be fair they mote than make up for it in fully embracing bikes and leaving their cars at home weeks at a time. But this new form factor of a board with electric wheels has its appeal to many people so i hope it can be embraced here. I met the mayor of Oldenburg last night at te opening party and explained all of this. He gave me his email address. Maybe Oldenburg can lead the way.

In #Stuttgart Germany I attended the #CompositesExpo yesterday. Composites are just cool combinations of materials that make things lighter stronger and sometimes have a lower carbon footprint. Potentially a negative carbon footprint however that hasn’t taken off yet. I showed several prototype skateboard board decks to the awesome companies that were on display and there is the potential for future collaborations. Was well worth the red eye and flight followed by a red eye train to where I’m now at. (In the map everything in Germany looks so close!) The highlight was slide number two in this set where you see a curved piece. A year ago I searched everywhere for a company who could do that. Now they are interested in collaboration. Search #CurvedPultrusion to learn more. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2SEnjfp_n4/?igshid=1t4c2jgkafhr4

#MOOPmovie is an official selection of the Oldenburg film festival. AKA the coolest European festival I’ve ever been to. Except #Cannes which is not really a fair comparison because... well I think of Cannes as the mothership and every other festival is a satellite of the mothership. But also, on one level every film festival is the same. It’s a dark room with strangers having a synchronized experience crafted by the weirdos behind and in front of the lens. #ilovefilm #ilovefilmmaking #indiefilm #foureyedmonstersfilm #filmfestivals https://www.instagram.com/p/B18exRJpWsr/?igshid=j40xvoxbs4xz

How about a #ForestFireDroneFleet? Within an average of 15 minutes it should be possible to get 2000 gallons of pressurized suppression foam to any fire spotted by satellite. #amazonrainforest #amazon #jeffbezos @elonmusk @leodicaprio https://www.instagram.com/p/B1sELi7Jh59/?igshid=utzrhefhjwdg

More details and images from my quick napkin math are posted here. Please do your own calculations and research and let me know if you know either 1000 people who each have a million dollars or if you know 2 billion people who each have 1 dollar or any combination there of. The only pre prerequisites are that they must have a method of transferring funds, there must be an organization we can trust with these funds to do what they say they will do to fight these fires and these donors must care about the survival of the human race as a large population species rather than a tiny population in underground bunkers. People who prefer a few bunkers under ground and earth surface space suits can obviously ignore this post and carry on with your normal daily activities as if nothing is happening. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1gofDgJZWG/?igshid=uc604qirwmy

If half of earths population that has a bank account donated 1 dollar per year we could build an international #amazon #fire fighters alliance with 20 heavy lift helicopters and 4000 steal fire resistant cargo containers added to the fleet annually. If successful at stopping the 1 percent loss annually of the Amazon then that 1 dollar would have been better spent on this than any competing sequestration technology we have today. In other words this effort would be highly worth while for humanities long term survival. #brazil #amazonrainforest #amazononfire #putitout #climatesolutions #firefighting #helicopters #arialcrane https://www.instagram.com/p/B1gnOyypBKx/?igshid=14z2unha9jqnv

My Replacement remote control seems to be my best selling item on my Etsy store! 😂 Kind of embarrassing because making that available took me about 10 seconds and it’s been years of development for everything else I am much more passionate about. I guess many of the other #electricskateboard companies that use this universal remote didn’t realize it’s a very lost prone item that renders an expensive skateboard useless. I figured why not give people what they might need. Now it’s helping me finance these next bigger steps. It is a standard part many factories make and can very simply be paired with any compatible board. But mine is a little different because I stylized it in a unique way which is actually safer. And easier to use in the dark because the buttons are sliver. And it has #reflectors. So in traffic at night I will put my hand out using the units reflectors to insure that I am seen. #skateboardRemote #replacement #remote #replacementremote And it comes with the #eboardAir. And works to accelerate, break or go in reverse. If the board has lights it can turn them on by holding the “reverse” button. It’s connection is incredibly reliable. Its tiny. And once you ride with it for a while it feels like telepathic control of the motors. To find out if your board works with this hold your boards power button for 5 seconds. If a light starts blinking then it’s ready to pair and you know this remote will work. (Order from link on my profile) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1IPluPHDeH/?igshid=1qg52u61idlup

Three things to announce. 1. My company is now called Magnetic. 🧲 2. I’m evolving beyond just skateboards to offer electric motorcycles. 3. I need some pioneering riders who want this in their garage and could see doing about 150 miles a week. Message if that’s you. Pioneering test riders get a massive discount. Nearly half off. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1GbyY9pDFV/?igshid=1wud0yokwkzgv

“Hey guys” The #eboardAir is now on display at @arenacinelounge on #sunsetblvd point in #hollywood. You can go see it and they might even let you test ride it. And they’ll be selling it to along side other merchandise available in their lobby. https://www.instagram.com/p/B09DnWNHNsi/?igshid=1uri3xh6tcdyh

#Vegan food can be a little tricky to find and expensive and require a conventional schedule with some pretty far trips and online special orders. Well all of those statements are not true if you consider #711 as an unlikely resource. Even if it’s your exclusive regular resource. If you want to improve your vegan food experience and for whatever reason can’t cook because of lack of knowledge or living situation then I recommend trying to find the least processed and highest protein/dollar count with as little transportation footprint as possible. And search 711 on google maps and at least anywhere I’ve been in #california or #china recently they are always a 5 minute #eBoard ride away max. The back of everything has the protein spelled out. And you can just do the math. On this 12 dollar shopping spree is 2 days worth of protein. Or 1 day or less if you want to do an intense body building workout. And those beans are plastic free packaging. I personally would restructure 711 to have like the #wholefoods #eco shelf or something like that where they explain the #climatecrisis on an in-store display above and offer a shelf of #petroleum-free-packaging and #carbon #offset vegan products. And no dairy isolates either people. That’s not vegan or dairy free. I also would offer #salt-free options and #no-added-sugar options. So it’s far from perfect but you can live vegan for 6 dollars a day plus some extra grazing budget for some carrots and basically as many vegetables as you can stomach/afford/find/grow. And maybe a food quality multi-vitamin for good measure. That will be around 1 dollar a day. (And probably shouldn’t be bought at #7-eleven but technically they do even sell vitamins there.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0yCH7mpbzr/?igshid=1hjwppkpnjs8t

I donated an electric #skateboard to #ashramgalactica for tonight’s raffle to help them raise money for their upcoming amazingness on the #playa. You can Venmo donations directly too them using the Venmo app searching for: ashram-galactica or follow them on Instagram @ashramgalactica . They are heavily featured in #moop as one of our primary shooting locations for some key scenes and they were amazingly kind and commission from day one. And then I camped with them and volunteered/got building training during 2013 and 2014. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0u4gRjCC7g/?igshid=10uvpv17k9j65

#eboardAir - this is the one for kids or who want a really compact and easy to learn grab-and-go board for mostly flat riding. #losangeles #electric skateboards https://www.instagram.com/p/B0uUXpsHznR/?igshid=1ba9tn6zxpk0m
