- If you've got a Boosted board or an electric skateboard,
you've probably wanted to travel with it at some point
but if you're traveling with other stuff
beyond just the board, it can get a little bit tricky
and so that's why you need a bag or a case for it.
This is the Hubro Designs Board Bag version three
which is the most heavy-duty, crazy heavy-duty
Boosted board electric skateboard bag I've ever seen.
Before I talk too much about the bag
I do want to make it clear that it was sent to me for free.
Last spring I made a video about traveling by plane
with a boosted board and in that video
I used the original Board Bag version one
which is this bag right here.
I just bought it off of Amazon, full price.
But the people from Board Bag saw that video
and so they sent me the version two bag when it came out
which had a lot of improvements.
I really liked the first one
but the second one fixed a lot of problems
and was a lot stronger and just better built
and it added backpack shoulder straps
so you could carry it on your back really easily
which is really really cool and I really like that bag
and that's been my favorite one since
and a few weeks ago they reached out to me
and said they have a new bag coming out
which is super heavy-duty and has some pretty cool
killer features that the other ones don't
and so they asked if I wanted to check it out.
They didn't say I had to make a video about it,
they didn't say I had to say anything good about it,
they just wanted me to check it out and offer some feedback
but I decided to make a video about it
because I think it's pretty cool.
Now as you may have noticed,
this bag is significantly larger than the other two bags.
This is a really really big bag.
It's also extremely heavy-duty.
This is like if the military
started deploying Boosted boards,
this is the bag they would use for them.
The very first board bag as I was traveling with it
the nose of the board actually rubbed through the material
and poked a hole through it.
The second version they fixed that
with some heavier duty material
and some straps for the board.
This version, it's really hard to convey through video
how heavy-duty this material is.
Everything in it is metal.
There's so much room in this bag.
There are four pockets on the inside
which are pretty good size
and they can easily fit the charger,
skate tools and snacks
or other important stuff,
the Boosted board remote,
there's even a bunch of room in the top of the bag
that can fit your helmet which is a huge deal.
The fact that you can easily fit a helmet into this bag
is really important.
I don't think it's talked about enough
but anytime you're riding any of these electric skateboards
or longboards or whatever electric vehicles,
you have to wear a helmet.
It's just they can be so dangerous without it
and sometimes if you're traveling with a bunch of stuff
or if you're in a rush it's easy to forget your helmet
and then you think it's not really a big deal.
How fast am I really gonna go?
I've never crashed before, whatever,
and then something terrible can happen
so the fact that this makes it super easy
to just put your helmet in with the board
and then everything you need for the board is in one place
is a huge win for me.
There's also a lot of space here
where you could even fit anything else you need.
A small bag, maybe even some clothes,
so this could actually end up being your over-night bag.
And then the board itself gets strapped in
so it's not gonna go anywhere as you're traveling with it.
All the zippers on this bag are super high-quality
YKK zippers which are my favorite kind of zippers
'cause they never really jam of break up
or have any issues, they just kind of last forever.
There's a handle on the sides so you can carry it
like a normal bag, there's a handle on the top
so you can carry it or hang it from the top.
Then it also has the same thing the version two has
where there's a pocket on that back
and these backpack style straps come out.
They clip on and then you can just wear this
as a backpack style bag.
They even added straps on the side
which you could put like a regular skateboard
or another board or something you're traveling with.
I travel with a lot of photo gear usually,
this would be perfect for putting a tripod.
So this is a really really useful, well thought out,
super durable bag.
But it has one really key feature
which is why I wanted to share it with you
that sets it apart from all the rest.
I'm gonna borrow Heather's Koowheel for this example
but not every board is the same length as the boosted board
especially the original ones which are pretty long
and so sometimes it can be hard to find bags
to transport other boards.
At the top of this bag there are two zippers,
one on one side, one on the other side,
which actually compacts the bag down so it's a bit shorter
and then you can fit different sized boards into it
without a bunch of empty space.
The Koowheel is significantly shorter than the Boosted board
and so if I make the bag just a little bit shorter
it fits in perfectly, can still be strapped in
and ready to go so this bag actually works with any board
between 39 and 44 inches long.
You could even put just regular boards
or regular longboard, regular skateboard in it.
It's a really versatile bag so if you have an electric board
that's not a Boosted board, this is a really good option
if you're looking for something to travel with.
The key feature of this bag is that it can fit
other boards besides just Boosted boards
which might actually end up making my Boosted board
a little bit jealous.
