I was about to call you crazy until I saw the end. Lol. GT is my first OneWheel ever, learned to ride it in 30 min and the most awesome investment I've made recently. And I'm 45 yo. Lol. Good video!!
Haha thank you for watching until the end and not to leave a negative comment after watching a minute 😅 🙏 it’s also my first onewheel and my favorite purchase ever
I'm from Greece, I have experience with the Pint and the XR. I've done 42 km/h max speed on an XR... So I received the GT after a long wait. The thing broke when it started ghosting backwards and went downhill. The only thing I can do now is get on here (Youtuibe) and inform people that the GT is faulty from the factory - I could not find the firmware update in the app - and I get no support from anyone - basically no answer at all. So there you go. Entirely Future Motion's fault.
Nice video! We believe you have 4 ways to improve how your feet feel on the GT. 1.) Your choice of shoes. If you have a thicker sole it might feel better but you won’t feel the feedback from the OW as well. 2.) Your tire & PSI. More tires will be available as time goes on & you can always play with your PSI & it can help absorb some shock. 3.) Building up your feet by putting the time in & riding more. Learning to ride switch is also great. 4.) Improve the point of contact between your feet & the OW. Our Foamies do this with a high density foam. They also help a lot when you do drops from a curb or higher. It can suck when your heels come down & hit a GT’s sharp plastic edge off of a drop or on a trail.
All very good tips! I’m very excited to try out the foamies to see how much of an actual difference they make. My friend has them already and I tried them for a minute and could tell the difference immediately. Can’t wait to try it out for longer rides
You are correct that disconnecting the battery from the BMS does brick the board. However, it is my understanding that if you ship it back to Future Motion they will fix it for you. The BMS has volatile memory on it that requires constant power to avoid being wiped. Future Motion just has to reload it. Also, the foot fatigue will go away. It just takes more time on the onewheel. My feet used to be in excruciating pain until I kept riding and it eventually went away. The GT was not my first Onewheel so I have more experience but I just went on a 24 mile ride yesterday that took around 2 hours, in that 2 hours I was not off of the board for more than 10 minutes. My feet hurt only a little but my legs were much more sore. You just gotta ride more and it will go away. Float on my friend! 🤙
@@jacklinsey this is the main reason why I won't be getting it, especially that the battery is only warranted for like 575 miles... if they are going to lock the battery they should warranty the battery for 2k miles at least.
Great Video. I just received my GT earl5 this week and I can’t wait to get better at it and join the Philly crew in a group ride. A interesting thing… I rented a XR and it was a fine I thought I needed more practice to get good but after trying both feet up front. I figured out I’m a goofy foot and it made the ride so much better.
Excited to have you join the rides! I think there's one actually tomorrow. I'm trying to work on riding goofy better just to be good at both riding styles
Concave footpads decrease foot fatigue. I can ride far longer on my GT than on my XR before I need a quick break. People have been buying concave footpads for their XRs in order to combat foot fatigue. Getting a front concave footpad is difficult for the XR, but comes stock on the GT.
Yeah I've been dealing with foot fatigue.. But it's part of the game, gotta get use to it. At first I had my stance to wide open.. So I closed my stance, rear foot close to the tire now, and it helped alot 💯 that's just me.
@@HDBnB1 It took me a few months of riding. I have 4500 miles now. My balance now is really good. I can do one foot yoga poses and I’m 64. Onewheel is the best thing ever.
Foot fatigue is common with newbies. You need to condition your body by riding the board. Less talking about it, and more riding should help your foot fatigue. .. Im 45 years old and can go at least 10 miles before my feet start bothering me on my GT. 🖖
@@HDBnB1 me too. Waiting for the new pads... meanwhile can't ride until I receive AND install them. FM: don't mess with your board, send it to our ONLY authorized repair center. We do this for your own safety! Also FM: here's the defective part that can straight up break someone's leg, install it yourself! It'll be fine. Guess they're not the only authorized repair center when there's no revenue to extort. Pathetic.
Hands down, my favorite part of this video: "I'm in college...and this is my GT." Status: Baller
The truth speaks miles 😏

So sorry to hear that! Looks like they finally sent a recall notice for the front footpads!

Good to know! Thanks!
@@initialxero Yea, I'm not condoning it all. It actually infuriates me how much they have locked down their product.

Oh wow I didn’t know about the 575 mile warranty

Fantastic video and personality! Keep it up. Just bought a GT 🤙🏻🏴☠️ Coming from a Pint
Thanks so much for watching! Really appreciate it! And congrats! You’re going to have fun with it (:

So interesting I guess I just need to ride more!
The front concave foodpad is also the most likely reason for the increase of ghosting issues in the GT vs the XR.
Hopefully the going issue will be gone soon!
@@HDBnB1 Hopefully, it's looking like it might be a hardware issue vs firmware though.
Fingers crossed!
🔥🔥🔥
Checking in from mid- 2023. aside from weight, have the issues been improved?
Yes! Greatly!

Thanks for the tip! Yea my front foot is the one that hurts the most but everyone keeps saying to do longer rides to get used to it
Good points what program do you use for editing
Thanks for watching ! I use Final Cut Pro
Ballin, but at what cost. Great video bro, cant wait for more content.
The baller himself speaks 🙏 wish you were coming to the shred event
u trippin bruh my gt is fire
Did you watch to the end 😅
Yeah he’s hella trippin even throwing shade on GT and he’s just a beginner 🤦🏻♂️
I love the GT!
I gave you a like for the movie magic. 🙂
I love that. Thank you 🙏
Yeah now the GTS is out for only $4,000 including tax and accessories
That’s crazy! Still loving my GT
My feet hurted on the pint to
I feel your pain brother
I heard people with flat feet have a hard time on the boards
I still do to this day :/
@@HDBnB1 why don't you buy the flat pads onewheel release that would most likely solve the problem
I actually tried my buddy’s who has the flat pad and that didn’t help much. I also felt less secure compared to the concave
These look sick. Might buy 👀
I bet there’s few floating around in Miami 😉
I was with you until #5. Then #6 brought me back. But furreal. Try snowboarding for hours and talk to me about foot fatigue.
Yes! I feel you there. Picked up snowboarding this year and my first run of the day kill my feet
Do not buy the GT at all I’ve had to send mine back to FM four times. At least it is working now but we will see
Sorry to hear that! I had a dOa board myself 😞
Your feet will get stronger and your balance will improve with more miles thus reducing foot fatigue
Good to know! My balance has gotten pretty good, now just gotta get used to the fatigue
@@HDBnB1 It took me a few months of riding. I have 4500 miles now. My balance now is really good. I can do one foot yoga poses and I’m 64. Onewheel is the best thing ever.
Reason #1 🤓
Reason #3😎
10000%
I just bought my 2nd one! 😂

@@HDBnB1 LOL 😁🤙 fun video!
Appreciate you watching!
I own a GT. Despite loving it, I can't recommend this buy to anybody.
FFM, VESC all the way.
Fair enough! Glad they did the recall with the front sensors though!

What A world we live in 😌
It's not accurate if you brick the board you send it back to them and they fix it for you
Good to know!
Yeah that would be a real dirtbag move that would put them out of business in my opinion
Love my gt
It’s the best! Total game changer!
Dooopeeee
Dope onewheel community in Philly 🤙
@@HDBnB1 yes let´s goo tomorroow
6th reason, everything voids the warranty
Amen there!
The reason they don't want you to repair it is because they want you to buy v2.0 when it breaks. Upgrade don't fix. a.k.a. planned obsolescence.
Just like apple back in the day
Just ride barefoot..... build up that foot strength
I’ll start tomorrow!
I ride barefoot every day, strengthening my feet! I ride the pint X however
Hella whackkkkk. Just my opinion tho
Everyone’s opinion is valid!
