By keeping trolley handle extended when riding, you risk breaking it when push comes to shove and you lose the wheel. Running off a wheel is kinda a standard procedure in my mind 😀

Any updates? HIGHLY debating on this for my Subaru Forester.. great review as well!

I think you are doing great. I would focus more on the mounting and dismounting than the riding aspect. It is the hardest part to get smooth and is one of the main reasons people feel uncomfortable. Mount, go 10 feet, dismount, repeat. One leg riding is also very beneficial to making mounts and dismounts smooth. You will also want to start bending your knees more once you get more comfortable. You will need that knee bend to act like suspension or it will be very easy to just get booted off the wheel when you hit a bump at speed.

Gotta Wear Helmet bro

Coming from a onewheel with over 5000 miles of riding, welcome. I don’t know how your progress is going, but a tennis court helped me a lot because I always had fence to grab on to. Practicing figure 8’s both direction is helpful. You will turn better in one direction, but spend like 30 mins just practicing your weakest turn. Don’t worry about having both feet being even on the pedals cuz 99% of riders will have a staggered foot position. Also when you get good enough try accelerating with one foot. Ustride has a great tutorial on it. I could link the video, but I don’t want to advertise another channel w/o permission. Anyways keep going bro. It’s hard the first few weeks, but after a month of continuous riding you should be riding without thinking. For wobbles keep your hips over the center of the wheel. You can wobble if you have too much pressure on the heel/toe. I just wanted to add that your riding is good for being new.

Welcome to euc life. It'll bewitch your soul.

Think of an EUC as a bicycle with a mechanical front wheel. If you hop on a bike and try to stand still you'll probably fall over, the same is true for an EUC. As soon as you decide to get on the wheel, you also need to decide to go forward. People ride bikes all of the time without holding the handlebars, it's really the same concept. For keeping balance or stability, instead of using the trolley handle (which could lead to it breaking and will mess with your overall balance) bend your knees and learn to keep your hips moving by swaying a bit left and right while riding. This will give you better control than trying to force the wheel to aways stay upright. As for practice, if there is a basketball court, use circles as figure 8 guide lines, start with big turns on the outside, and once you're comfortable go to the inside of the circle for tight turns. Once you're more comfortable riding, start at one hoop, and ride away from it in a straight line, but keep looking at it over both of your shoulders, trying to stay as straight as possible. This is great practice for riding around other traffic. I really hope you like the change up. Onewheels are great for just hopping on and going, which I use for festivals and things simple errands, but my EUC has been a car replacement for my normal work commute, and with the new Sherman L will probably be able to replace my car for longer range weekend adventures too.

Same here! Been riding one wheels for years, now I’m starting to ride euc but its not as easy as I thought. Cheers from Palm Springs!

When learning to ride, chest height fences are definitely your friend. You can use it to mount and get your feet positioned correctly way easier then free mounting. Other useful trick is if you feel very twitchy, move your feet out more on the pedals so there is a bit of gap between your leg and the side of the wheel. That lets you lean into the wheel with your calve to brace in longer slower turns. The wider stance also makes carving via alternating toe raises easier. Other useful practice is circling a pole with one hand on it and go slowly around it, then practice doing hip pivots which help far more with low speed balance.

You could try learning on grassy terrain, too. That may take a little of the fear out of it, knowing you won't get scraped up so much. And I say "as much" because you will inevitably get scraped up. But, limber up, it's not a suspension wheel so you will need your knees to act as your shock absorbers. The more you become more used to it, the less tense you'll become. That's probably where it will start to really be fun for you. By then you will be more one with it, rather than trying to fight it.

Welcome to the club ;)

Regarding your comment about the upright stance, I think you still need to bend your knees in an EUC as well like in the Onewheel. It makes it safer just in case you encounter unexpected potholes or rocks.

Kuji pads!!

That was my first wheel!! Great to learn on!!❤

I recommend following one of old Kujirolls videos, where he suggests starting doing circles, with one leg on the euc, and the other leg on the floor as the center of your circle. Do it with both legs, frontwards and backwards. It helped me a lot at the beginning doing this drill to get used to hold the euc with one leg. Also, as I was living in a big city, I practiced at the -3 level parking on my building. I would go between columns doing figure out 8 path: it was good because the distance between columns was short, and I trained turning left and right on each turn. And just keep practicing, keep trying new drills, fast, slow, quick braking, wide turns, super tight turns, use the slalom markers and practice with them. Go on paved paths, grass, dirt roads, flat terrain, uphill and downhill, etc. Even on surfaces that you know you can't ride, like thick mud and thick gravel layers, you have to approach them very slowly and cautious, as you know you'll fall, but you need to do it few times to understand the feeling. And try going on a slope surface, across the slope (higher on your right and then higher on your left). First time I tried this (5 days in) immediately fell 😅. Once you start riding often, you'll see that the wheel wants to train track (follow the surfaces, lines, etc. on the floor), you have to get used to these. Also be prepared for wobbles, eventually you'll correct all of that automatically. It'll take around 500km to get really good enough that you're confident in most situations, you'll have the tools and the muscle memory to quickly react. Of course you'll be already commuting, but be mindful about that, even though you feel you "know", you don't, you have to go through the entire learning process to really know, as you don't know what you doing know. Yeah, it's not easy, that's why there are not so many of us, but its so freeing and rewarding.

Welcome to the dark side!

You're doing good, just keep practicing every day and it will come. Once you get a few hundred km into it, things will click. For me, it took about 1000 km before I felt I could rip around on mine with confidence. I started off with a veteran patton, not a beginner wheel, but I'm glad I did. Biggest thing you'll have to learn to handle are the wobbles. Carving is the key, don't ride in a straight line all the time, do some light carving at least and it will balance out the wobbles. Relax your stance, don't squeeze the wheel between your legs, but when you carve, you will use your legs to put pressure on the wheel (on one side) when you lean into it and that will help control it. If you're worried about dumping and scratching up your wheel, just buy some foam and 3M tape it to your contact points. You can always remove it later on. Definitely get a good set of power pads, it helps a lot to lock your feet in and adds control to your wheel. Just do a search on youtube and you'll see a BIG selection. Good luck! EUC's are amazingly fun and you won't regret entering this world :) One Wheels are cool, but EUC's are on another level. Oh yeah, you probably know already, but put that trolley handle down, it's only meant for pushing the wheel around :)

Yeah put the handle down. Practice your mounts switching your feet, over and over. Strengthen your legs n ankles. It's a light wheel, you'll outgrow it fast with your prior experience. When you go fast you'll want the full helmet, no handle bar between you n the ground. Practice on sidewalks really builds skills.

PRACTICE ON CARVING! this will help with everything, accleration,braking, and turns! Also helps with reducing wobbles as well!

👍👍

Ouch that hurts

Honestly youre looking pretty good so far. Just keep riding, and try and relax a little, you seem kinda tense while youre riding, I found just telling myself to relax would kind of force my legs and feet to adjust to the natural balance point. when youre cruising around and taking turns, pay close attention to what parts of your feet are actually applying force to the pedals. youll notice you use specific sections of your foot to perform different actions. Once you understand how your feet are working with the wheel, youll begin to have a better fundamental understanding of how the controls work. If you just keep riding youll be a pro in no time. You get a little better every time you ride even after 2k miles

On what site?

My advice for keeping your euc nice is dont. In order to learn skills your gonna dump that wheel about 300 times before you learn to ride, mount, ride seated, go backwards, curb hopping. Etc. All these skills will require dumping the wheel. Buy new pedal brackets and pedals if you like and save them for after all the skills practice you wanna do. I must have dumped my v12 HT like a thousand times. Eventually i replaced the scratched up pedals and brackets with nice new ones after several monthes of skills practice because i knew practicing these skills involves a good amount of dumping myself and the wheel. Your doing great, folks are right, just get some practice everyday and things will start clicking. Repetition and dumping the wheel are part of the process. Gear up. Once your body learns to relax you will learn to control this thing 🤙😎 Eureka day is coming mate, keep practicing !

I don't have any pointer but from someone who wants to get into EUC, looks good to me. Keep up the good work.

Youll get it! If you practice every day for a few hours youll be rolling everywhere in a week, seriously dont worry about the wheel, if you try and save it you may hurt yourself.

Tout d'abord il faut apprendre les mouvements de base, toi tu commences déjà à monter dessus sans avoir les premières étapes. Je donne des cours d'euc et je commence toujours pas apprendre à mes élèves à poser le pied droit(si tu es droitier)sur la pédale(de droite)appuyer légèrement sur la pointe du pied ce qui fait avancer la roue doucement et ramener son pied gauche qui est légèrement sur le coté de la roue(parallèle à la pédale de gauche) en avant en faisant un très léger saut et ainsi de suite, un apprentissage du départ trottinette. Tu peux t'aider d'un poteau, d'un mur, un grillage pour te tenir au début mais il faut apprendre naturellement et pas en se tenant au trolley comme tu le fais. Le mouvement doit se faire au fur et à mesure tu t'entraines avec le départ trottinette pas à pas et quand tu te sens à l'aise tu poses le pied gauche sur la pédale de gauche pendant une seconde et tu reposes sur le sol. Quand tu es à l'aise avec ce mouvement à ce moment-là, tu peux laisser ton pied gauche plus longtemps sur la pédale de gauche et du coup tu pourras rouler librement. Et vu que tu as l'air d'être relativement à l'aise pour te tenir sur la roue et rouler tu auras bien avancer dans ton apprentissage. Bon courage, tu vas kiffer l'euc. 🤟

ur doing a bad habit on using trolley to balance.

Hold a shopping cart or stroller first! Helps a lot! 加油😂

When I learned how to ride a unicycle I would balance against something then start peddling. How do you find the range on the gts

you got it ;)

Thanks for sharing 😍

Color combo Looks great! I’m doing my first tire change and rim saver install tomorrow when my TP45 bit comes in, but I got the onewheel GT performance treaded tire instead of the enduro

Where’d you get them from bro? Wanna cop a pair, bad ass

That fire change was solid bro you’re giving me hope in my future tire change

Absolutely nothing easy about opening & loading that beast!

Would you recommend this as a cheat bag, meaning, like, a bad Ibout extra clothing and condoms for when I leave home at night and cheat on my wife?

I have been considering getting this cot for my 4th Gen 4Runner for a while, great video showing how it fits. I am also 5'10", so it seems like a good setup. How is the cot holding up after 3 years?

They don’t scratch?

it looks great apart from some twitching camera edits haha.. but I get the vibe and it's great! One thing I wanted to ask is you using the built in mics when you talk? If so then it's pretty good as I can hear the noise of the motor and your voice but only a little of the wind which is great!

Hi - just wondering up to which height can this tripod sustain the weight without the camera falling?

I had the same issues with 500 miles on it

Where did you buy the wallet?

Can you comment the keychain accessory website?

These are dope🔥

I would never stick gold plated in my ear and I don’t know why earrings sticks don’t come straight

Which style do you like better? I’m considering a 2 mm diamond cut Franco or 3mm Miami Cuban
