For sure. Me too. Not many things have had me that depressed and I’ve been through some things 😂 it was almost like a movie hit the low lows and then the highs once it was fixed. I’m lucky where I live. The weather is always good to float. Thanks for watching and support my friend!!
I found that some people get into the wrong body position when trying to do the heel lift, which causes them to roll backwards, then they over compensate and roll forward, repeatedly until they can settle down again. The way I try to describe it is by twisting at the waist and moving your knee forward instead of focusing on lifting your heel. Doing it this way keeps the weight centered over the wheel and the heel comes up naturally, and that disengages the motor. But great video, keeps it relatable, especially for the newer riders out there. Thank you
That toe heel raise can definitely be tricky but with practice it definitely gets better. I had a super hard time getting it down. I used to just jump off the board 😂 I got tired of scratching up my reels and started practicing.
Good job. I love the way kids just make it work. We adults make-up rules for stance and mount/dismount, little kids just put their feet on (dominant foot concept be damned); foot on the sensor pad first or last, foot on back pad first or last, same with dismount. Ride forward and backward straight out of the gate, no reservations. The only rule that is constant is jumping off with both feet at the exact same time to avoid the splits.
Thank you my friend!! Seriously. Little man was outside falling before I could even tell em to turn it on. Knew where the button was just from watching me. He’s doing pretty good compared to where I was in the beginning. Got to get em today to keep it consistent.
I attribute a lot of my riding improvements to riding in patterns in parking lots. For example I'll follow paint lines in a square doing switch going frontside, then backside. Then I repeat riding in my normal stance. I use the intersection of lines as focal points in practicing figures 8s. And I go from line to iine and do a 180 whenever I cross a line. In all scenarios I do both stances and both sides. When I first started I was super slow, but that's okay, the practice paid off. Those 180s though, ....
Yes. Got it fixed. I somehow drop 1 of the hub bolts in the stator and it was causing the board to short out with the magnets. Luckily it didn’t do any serious damage. Jeff Adair guided me through everything 😊
That’s a good 1 but I’ve never used simple stop. Not once so I have no experience with it. My 9 year old son neither 🤷🏾♂️ If I did use it the board would cut off when I moved backwards. I get what you’re saying though. It’s a good suggestion my friend.
@@therealbergexperience5640 I was always advised against simplestop. I am one of the few that use it as I just could never get good with the heel lift method. Jumping off is a great lesson for everyone :-) Never ridden backwards yet as I always have simplestop on. Great videos Sir!
There have been 4 recorded deaths on a Onewheel. 3 of them without a helmet. More people die crossing the street. Not saying injury can’t happen but injury can happen with anything you do. Do you ride a bicycle? Or skate? Or anything? You just have to respect the board. Every time I’ve fallen it’s been my fault. Not the board. I love my Onewheel!!
@@therealbergexperience5640 Of course more people die crossing the street, way more people cross the street. I skateboard and rollerblade - however none of those are motorized or had bugs where they locked riders into full throttle
I’ve never been thrown my friend. Have you tried a Onewheel. I think you would end up loving it. I thought like you when I first saw my friend with 1. I said what kind of idiot would ride this thing with thousands of dollars worth of camera gear. Now I ride every day and it’s truly changed my life. You have to try 1. Just go slow until you’re comfortable. Being a skateboarder I think you would seriously love 1. Just floating. No pressure. I understand your logic but it’s not what you think. Trust me.
@@therealbergexperience5640 I'm sure there are safer ones out now, but no haven't tried it. Closest thing I've tried so far is a hoverboard (which I did get thrown off, but was completely my fault -- I wanted to see how fast it could make me spin, turns out it's faster than I stay on 🤣) I may try one of the opportunity arises
Glad you got your board fixed! Man I wish I was in S FL right now

I still can’t do the 180 🤣 I need to practice it for sure. Maybe for a full day.
Cool got it fixed, what was wrong?
Yes. Got it fixed. I somehow drop 1 of the hub bolts in the stator and it was causing the board to short out with the magnets. Luckily it didn’t do any serious damage. Jeff Adair guided me through everything 😊
Didn’t mention Simplestop. Many beginners like that as a way to stop.

Great videos Sir!
Beginners can not float in one spot IMHO. It's much easier to learn while riding and let the board take over the balancing.
One wheels are extremely dangerous, from poor design to bugs causing death - They're not a great ride

All true.
