These are the things that I wish I had known before I first attempted to ride the Onewheel+ for the first time. john hill hoverboard tricks electric skateboard
Yes, I own a Corvette Z06, I drive it when I'm not on my Onewheel. I've noticed a lot of viewers wanting to comment about my Corvette Z06 rather than my onewheel. đ
In this video, I'm going to share with you the truth about the Onewheel+ XR - what I wish I knew before buying it.
Iâve been using the Onewheel+ XR for over a year now and I absolutely love it. However, there are a few things that I didnât know before buying it, so I wanted to share that with you in this video.
So whether youâre looking to buy an electric skateboard or just want to know more about the Onewheel+ XR, be sure to watch this video! Iâll share with you everything you need to know about this popular product.
Thanks. Good tips, nice Vette. Iâm 61, active and floating around Tokyo. Not much off road opportunities here, but still a thrill to ride.

Howâs riding around in Tokyo
I like how the picture is framed so that the Corvette is casual in the background over his shoulder.
Make sure to ALWAYS have your corvette visible in the background of videos.
Corvette is the poor man's sport car. If he is trying to show off, no one is impressed.
I doubt heâs trying to show off
515brightcat lol first thing I though. Such a trailer trash tool.
@@anthonymogie8083 How is that a poor mans sports car? What do you drive sir?
Anthony Mogie Coming from someone who probably canât even afford that corvette.
I, too, am 39, and I have had my OneWheel+ XR for three days now. Out on the rail trail today I had my first real, actual, fall at speed. I had the board on the most conservative shaping mode ("Sequoia," I think?) so I wasn't going faster than maybe 8-9 mph, but it was not fun. Yes I had a helmet AND wrist guards on, and judging by how much plastic got chewed off the wrist guards I'm glad I did!
I fell victim to the infamous "speed wobble" and I failed to do a proper jump to bail off and down I went. Now, what I wanted to say here is, I believe this happened because my ankle and shin muscles are fatigued! I have not felt actual soreness; I am also a fairly athletic guy, I do a lot of general bodyweight exercise, and I haven't felt the "oh my god burning legs" or Jell-O legs from riding this thing, but I can feel that my response is looser and the muscles are just not as "tight" when I'm on the board.
This is a long way of saying PAY ATTENTION to how you're feeling on the board and if you feel loose or sluggish in your ankles (especially) and TAKE A BREAK, like take a day off, and recover back to full strength. Don't do what I did and push it and end up flying off the thing.
Great video, I am 60 almost 61 and just finished my first ride 6 miles, gravel, dirt, pavement, and some very steep hills. The steep hills were the hardest for me, 8 to 10% grade. I am Hooked.
Great video. Said most every thing i was wondering about. Made some adjustments and it rocks.
I thought you did a good job as Andy Bernard in the Office
Lol
Wow good catch.
Nice
Haha. Was gonna say the same thing.
Dude thanks for the video got one for Xmass but it's on backorder in till March. Im 47 6 2" I was worried about my size but after watching your video no more . This is the first video i've seen shows a real person ridding a one wheel thanks for all the tips!!
Iâm 52 and I demoâd a OneWheel at a car show and was immediately hooked. I had seen your video, and now that I have one, I just watched it again. Great information, and spot on. Today Iâm going to try some more advanced shaping and see how my riding improves.
Andrew Gere that is awesome! So glad my video helped and you got a OneWheel!
Great video! Provided a lot of points that lead to my first OneWheel purchase. Similar situation...taller, heavier, older guy with no board sports experience, but just love the feeling of flying on it.
Spot on with the calves hurting. Resting and stretching is key! Also, the OneWheel community is very supportive. Loving my purchase so far. Thanks for the help!
I'm considering getting a one wheel and I've watched lots of videos. This one is the best! Thank you.
surferjeffer thank you! Glad it helped/you liked it. OneWheels Rock!
Andy Bernard giving some solid tips! Great video man, now I want one.
He gave the whole 9 nards!
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks for an honest opinion on it. I can reevaluate my decisiom on getting one now
Lev glad to help!
Great video man. I just ordered mine and seeing your experience as a total beginner makes me more comfortable knowing I made the right choice.
Dude, thanks for the video, I've just topped 120 miles on my XR, and your video helped push myself through the first (really tough) 20 miles.
Fred Greatorex thatâs awesome!! So glad you pushed past the first 20! :)
Great video. I'm like you as far as age and experience. I have 200+ miles now. As far as slowness goes, once you have miles on your board, you do really well at slow movement and turns. It just becomes natural.
JR Fent yea, Iâve got about 30 miles on my board now and I can easily just stand still on my board and move very slow. Feels very natural.
I want a self balancing unicycle and now I don't know.
Great video! Lots of great info. I don't own a OneWheel but I'm 35 and I just bought an Evolve Bamboo GTX electric longboard in January. I haven't been on a skateboard since I was a teenager. I've been practicing here and there after work during the daylight hours and getting more and more confident, and I'm having a blast. I have a lot of the same experiences you're having... feeling burning in my calves, achilles, and soles of the feet from the way you have to balance on the board. I haven't left the neighborhood yet because I live in a pretty urban area in South Florida, but I've gone on a couple 5+ mile rides and I'm really starting to love it. Thanks again for sharing your experience.
Film Runner Media thatâs awesome! Good for you! Iâve been tempted to try the board style ones but the small wheels wouldnât do well on our roads around my house. Iâve now got the OneWheel XR on its way and going to go for much longer rides.
Excellent video and thanks for the heads up, Iâm 45 and just bought my onewheel plus online, canât wait to ride it.
Oscar Valiente awesome! You are going to love it. :)
I am an out of shape 43 old and not a board sports guy. It took me a few days but now I am obsessed with it. I am on the pint and blowing through the trails around here is zen like. Love it.
Thatâs awesome! Love to hear that
There's always a reason when the ow+ board corrects you. That's called pushback when the nose comes up. It's pretty much a warning. I can only recommend you getting more miles and experience with the ow+ with on Mission and cruise if you just started. The more aggressive digital shaping modes like delirium with top speed have low threshold for pushback. Means you can go fast and the board will not correct or warn you with pushback or at least not often . Many people step on it and go full speed which can be really dangerous if the board engine turns off.. if you power through and step on pushback and suppress it the motor may turn off at high speeds, Downhills etc because it's overloaded and you may get really serious injury or even die. The ow support boards are full of stories of people who really really hurt themselves on delirium. Torn lungs etc. You have to understand the engine and the pushback and get a feeling for electric side of the board to avoid injuries. Protective gear won't save your bones if you nosedive at high speed. Im talking from experience with shoulder injury from that ow+. I'm experienced snowboarder but I didn't know all technical limits of the ow+ and that may really crush you if your nose dives into concrete at 12mph or more. Read all you can about this matter. Also never step on it with full weight on the nose when board is getting going . Start speeding up evenly until you reach your desired speed or the engine may turn off if you try to start like a rocket. Happened to me. Put all my weight on front to start really fast and it went few yards and turned off. Electric motors don't like that. Nice nose dive and busted shoulder smashed into concrete. I was too comfortable with it because of snowboard experience and i already was going fast on flat but didn't know stuff like that the engine can turn off if you overpower it. Don't start fast uphill and stuff like that. Can't speak much for offroad. Rode a lot of flat surfaces with much elevation. Stay safe...get a lot of feeling for pushback and a good stance before you go all fast on delirium... to quote the @onewiththewheel
"The problem in my opinion (I've just eclipsed about 250 miles on mine) is that it feels so good, that it lures you into a false kind of confidence. This is especially prevalent when coming up against pushback - I've crashed mine at 18 and 16 mph and they were pretty rough. I would say if you are pushing into those speed ranges it is more dangerous than skateboarding."
yeah thats it...always keep in mind that the engine can turn of and this thing will nosedive even if you dont crash because of your riding skills or something
For sure this was rider error. Pushback is built in for a reason.
Ditto! 20 mph slide on your bare hands and elbows is not fun. Iâm ordering some protective gear. My wife is tired of all my bandaids. Ha ha
first day I got my board I was being too cocky and had a motor shutoff at 27 mph.. was only wearing my helmet so I had some very very nice road rash to say the least, surprisingly didn't break anything tho :)
Sorry but i have to correct you..
I had several nosedives in mission mode but not a single one in delirium. You can read the same in the official onewheel forums!
A Z I donât think what you experienced was the motor turning off. I think what happened is the brains of the self balancing mechanism couldnt compute and quits causing the nose dive. I know that my board was still accelerating when it dived because I felt it and can see the sliding damage on bumper. The motor definitely did not stop. That would be grounds for lawsuits. Until we really know what Future Motion has sold us we should be filming if possible
My wife thinks i'm nuts! But, I want one. I'm 6'8" 250lbs and 66 years old. The latter is why she thinks I've lost my mind. Ha! We'll see!
Arnie Jacobsen do it!!! Best choice ever. #Nolimits
Get it! Just wear all your gear!YOLO
I get my XRT on Monday and turn 60 on Wednesday. Just want to glide smoothly and safely all over the Valley!
I was 64 when I decided to take up riding a dirt bike/motorcycle. I'm smaller than you, only 6-2 and 260, but do it.
I can see it now, like some old cartoon!
I'm 43 but am a pretty advanced snowboarder. To me the OneWheel is the greatest invention ever created, it's just so much fun and I ride it everyday. Great video, good tips, keep it up!!
Scott Thomas thanks! Yea, I love it, walk past my corvette all the time in favor of hoping on my OneWheel+ now. đđ
I'm 34. I used to skate & snowboard as a teen and preteen. After decades of being out of sports and sitting on ass in front of a computer, I have lost the majority of my core balance and strength. 6'2 165lbs. I got an XR and I love the thing. 140mi and 23.3mph since I got it, about two weeks ago.
Joo Ish how's it feel compared to snowboarding, debating between this or the boosted stealth but hear those things turn like Caddy's and think I'd prefer a tighter turn radius.
I tried both but only for a short amount of time. The OW is very high off the ground but it has that huge wheel which can go over anything. Boosted is exactly the opposite. the OW looks like it's more fun though and also more dangerous. Also look into electric unicycles, they are interesting
PB Hend m
found this video in my recommended feed, and clicked on it only to find i already liked this video! turns out, this was prob one of the vids that convinced me (also in tucson az) to get a onewheel! been commuting a couple miles to and from UA campus every day for the past 8 months now!
Kevin Choi thatâs awesome! Thank you for sharing that. Still ride mine. :)
Wow! Such an in depth and very helpful video! Amazing job. I'm thinking of getting one for sure now! Thank you!
King Georges Youâre welcome!!
Gonna do it.. Iâm 56 and retired. Got my Realestate license and first closing is 2 weeks away, itâs my âcongratsâ for completing my first sale. Chasing after my 5 year old granddaughter on her bike, going to planet fitness to work out, and on the beach of RP.. thanks for the video and feedback!
David Treichel awesome! Glad to hear. Enjoy!!!
Great review! Thank you for your insight.
just got mine a couple days ago. Was practicing on mission and got the hang of it for 2 hours in the park riding it around the block on smooth concrete surfaces with no bumps (got 5 miles of riding time with no falls). With a boost of confidence I thought I was ready for the bike lane on the main road while cars were driving by next to me. Was going on mission mode about 11 miles an hour and there was a huge ditch in the ground and I lost my balance ended up landing on my feet but I couldn't keep up and did a running fall and landed on my shoulder. Thankfully I had all protective gear on (helmet, wrist guards, knee guards and elbow guards) but still hurt my shoulder for the past 2-3 days and it's still sore inside. Kinda scared to ride it again but I'm gonna practice more on smooth surfaces now for about 10-20 miles before I take it out on the streets.
Word of advice make sure you practice a lot before you take it off road or near cars or anything because its different when you ride by yourself when no one is around than riding with obstacles/pedistratons, cars, bumps and what not.
Always wear protective gear then starting off because you can get serious injuries if you do something dumb.

Thanks, man, this video was super helpful to me. Iâm 51 and I donât board. Iâve snow skied and water skied, back in my teens. Iâve been wanting a Onewheel for a couple of years, since I was hiking and two guys came whizzing past on Onewheels. âWhoa! What was that? I want one!â
Whatâs been holding me back is the price, plus being unsure if this old dog could learn that new trick.
So thank you for reviewing it from a perspective closer to where Iâm at in my life journey.
Such a great video! Iâm purchasing. Thanks Mansell. You answered all of my questions.
So happy I watched this before hoping on my onewheel đ; super practical advice! Thanks đ€đœ
I bought a $600 Chinese knock off a dandan board. At 35 I wasn't sure if I'd like it or use it. An didn't want to spend $1500 dollars as I have 2 young children. I must say it's awesome an 3 years of owning it. I'm not disappointed I bought the knock off. It also has 3 settings depending on skill. Built in Bluetooth speaker and a application to track speed distance and battery life. Which last me an hour and a half easy but I'm 6'1" at 165 lbs. Has brake and head lights. You'll love it when you get it! I'm not a skater or surfer. But I have decent balance took me maybe an hour to get. Made my wife stand in front of me with hands out to help with balance at first. Now I jump off foot high ledges. Good luck have fun you only live once!
This should be requires viewing for all new riders. Iâm glad to see you found the right shoes and wore safety gear and were riding around 11mph while you were still learning - those are some top common newbie errors! I think your explanation of the shapings falls a little short, but I can totally see why your experience with delirium is what it is due to your height and weight. All the bigger riders were saying the same thing when that shaping was introduced last summer. Overall great vid, peace out and float on!
45+ years old and bought one last year. Good points you had. If you want to learn the fast stop by taking your front foot off, try that on grass. Makes it easier but good tips. All true. I stopped using running shoes and wear my Classic Converse chucks. Reminds me of Ice skating in that my feet were dying for the first few months until they got stronger.
Yea, absolutely. Way better now since Iâve gotten used to it for sure.
LOL! That snowboard fall...epic! Gimme chills! You're awesome đđ€Ł
SHINOS LOL
Great video, candid and to the points... I have been watching a lot of OneWheel related videos and I must say yours was the first one I saw that addresses some concerns I have (e.g. albeit I am a snowboarder, but have no skateboarding nor longboarding experience for me to base my sense on any board that runs on pavement, which is less forgiving when I crash on it than on snow) and some I did not even occur to me like tight and flat bottom shoes etc. I have not yet ordered one and after having watched your video, I think I will.
BTW (I am guessing here), I believe the setting on the OS tells OneWheel to sense that you are lifting your heel side (on goofy mode) rather than your toes (on regular mode)...
Again, Thanks for a great video, keep it up.
Super helpful video as I'm in my 40's (never been a skater/surfer/snow boarder) also and have been looking at getting one of these. Well, the pint or XR. Thanks for sharing your experience. Greatly appreciated!
Richie Perez awesome, glad to help. You are going to love it!
54yrs old got a onewheel and ride pantano wash bike trail at about golf links all the time. I love the thing I look for any reason to get out for errands.
So right about Delirium & what a difference choice of footwear will make to your comfort & control - thanks for the insights
Awesome video, 57 years old and can't wait to get one, do it while you can, is my motto, thanks for the great video đ.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm 38yrs old and just bought one the other day. It's much more difficult than they made it look and I come from a Skateboarding/Snowboarding background. Unfortunately, I haven't done either of those things for about 15yrs!! I'm excited to really get to know my Onewheel and do some serious cruising. Good to know I'm not the only 'nearly' 40 something interested in this!
You are so welcome! Float on!
Great video from a good perspective. Weâre about the same age, and Iâm also a tall guy who was all in on an electric bike as a secondary form of transportation when I came across the OW. After a few videos, I just plopped down my $$$ on a OW GT. And it came down to people looking like theyâre having more fun on OW. This was the perspective I wanted to hear from! Thanks.
great and awesome insight, dude this might be just the push for me to absolutely grab one
Thanks for the sweet video! Iâve been interested for some time now to get one.
Well done and informative. Appreciated the content and links.
Thanks for sharing your thoughtful analysis. I want one so bad but at 68 years old, I feel this former snow- and water-skier and avid skateboarder and bicyclist's active years are at an end. I might have a few years left for something like this but hate to drop $1800 just to find out I'm no longer fit enough. Damn, life just ain't fair. I wish they had these things 10 or 20 years ago. If you are under 50, and ever rode a skateboard, you NEED one of these.
P.S. I'm a goofy foot too.
53 here, st day out with 40 mins on the board and had my first nosedive at 23.3mph. Too fast, but it's sooo smooth...rider error I'm pretty sure, going uphill and not tuned into feedback yet. Had my wrist guards on so just a bit of road rash... road the sucker home another mile of course after I composed myself.
Awesome review and tips! I'm 6'8 and 265. I started with the T6 and ready to one wheel!
@Swamp Yankee No difference, I'm 5'10" 140lbs, motor doesn't have to work as hard, you can get more out of it
Thatâs for making a review like this thatâs in depth... great video! Even though you made me dizzy when you were going in circles lol
As a 40 year old with reasonable skateboarding experience, I can tell you that the Onewheel+ is fairly dangerous and you are right to warn that you will eat it. Wristguards and helmet are a must - I posted a video after a 16mph no wristguard wipeout where cheese grater gravel ate my hands. The problem in my opinion (I've just eclipsed about 250 miles on mine) is that it feels so good, that it lures you into a false kind of confidence. This is especially prevalent when coming up against pushback - I've crashed mine at 18 and 16 mph and they were pretty rough. I would say if you are pushing into those speed ranges it is more dangerous than skateboarding. Even as a seasoned skater my feet get sore on long rides (at 165 lbs I can get almost 9 miles on mine :)), but I do have to mindfully become aware of my legs and feet and relax them mentally which makes a big difference.
OnewiththeWheel great points. Thanks for the feedback. :)
I have a Trotter and I max out at about 11mph and I feel like I'm always ready for a potential Wipeout and so far I've managed to mainly stay on my feet. Just ordered the new XR and I probably better get a helmet now.
c0pyimitati0n Iâm jealous!
I got my Pint in today and I agree with everything about the safety precautions. I hurt my knee a little on my first day, today, I was riding on grass and wasnât even going fast and wiped out and the shock from hitting the grass alone made my knee crack and itâs been on ice since. This thing is crazy fun. Knee injury doesnât seem serious at all I can still walk around and it really doesnât even hurt just a little swollen and stiff. I would of got this injury if I had on knee pads or not so I just wanted to make it clear that there are plenty of other injuries to receive hahaha. But all in all, this invention is legit, like nothing else youâve ever felt
thanks for the great video... LOTS of great info!!!
Great video!
Awesome details & points
Thanks for sharing
Great video...I am considering buy units for my entire family. Thank you!
excellent video, exactly what I was looking for after dozens of videos, THANKS
Youâre welcome!
Thx dude, very informative thinking getting one of this though.
What good advice. I actually bought the xr and returned it. The issue I had but it didn't look like it bothered you, was the size of our feet. Like you, I'm tall with big feet so for the front for pad to work, our toes have to overhang the board. I like to ride with the ball of my foot, but the motor would not disengage. I just kept going backwards.
cinq tat yea, that happened to me too until I learned the princess toe step. Pushing my knee out and raising my heel made it a piece of cake. :)
Thank You!!!! Finally rode it today for real and felt like I was sliding off the board like you did. Thought I was crazy! Will try skater shoes tomorrow! Wish I saw this a week ago when I started. Thank you. I am 52 and have no boarding xp either.
Scott Thatâs awesome! I know Iâll still be riding mine when Iâm 52. Love it!
I'm 60 yrs old and bought one ! Did I just make a mistake ??
I used to be a champion skateboarder back in the 70's !
I rode the Onewheel on the grass and wiped out several times ! I tried it on pavement and landed on my back !
I want to give it a few more tries on the sand ! Thanks for the video !
Youâre welcome! Love hearing that you are getting back on and riding.
Great insight man! Thanks for that! Cheers!
Thanks for covering all of these concerns from a non-board rider's point of view. Been considering getting one but im not sure if I can ride it in regards to what you just covered. This really helps out!đđ
Glad it was helpful!
@@MANSHED it was very helpful, I got my new OW Pint last Sunday and learning to ride with baby steps!đŹđ
Thanks for the great detailed video about the one wheel
Great post, thank you for taking the time to make this video
You're welcome!
Great Vid! love the 4runner also!!
Great video, thanks bro! My Onewheel gets here tomorrow, got the helmet, gloves, but didnât even think about the flat soles on shoes. Shopping on Amazon for skater shoes after this. 44 years old from Utah who hasnât snowboarded in 8 years. letâs see if I still got thisđ€đœ
This is a really fun Rube Goldberg contraption full of band-aids and after-thought add-ons. I thought about buying one so I checked out a lot of youtubers for their reviews and opinions. They all love it BUT the most common sentence is "you will go down if.." and all of them got hurt, some badly enough to brake bones. When this thing nose dives and digs in, there's no way to recover. Some complain that it nose dives for no apparent reason. Someone added tiny leading edge wheels (another band-aid). Being perpendicular to the direction of travel means you're flung off sideways at high speed. It's not particularly stable laterally either. Just getting on and off it requires special skill. Can't go too fast or you'll nose dive, position your foot just so or again, kiss the ground. If you're tired, you'll eat it (Micheal speaking at 13:23 in this vid). The list goes on. It's clear this is a work in progress and good luck to the buyers. May your journey be safe. I'll stick to inline skates and my E-board until they figure how to work the bugs out. This thing in its current iteration is dangerous.
great video dude! I ordered one should be here tuesday- 48 years old, little skate boarding but mostly skiing in my past. Im a farmer now and do miles and miles walking back and forth during the day. usually for a screwdriver or something.....seeing this answered some questions for me coming from a similar point of view. Im no great board rider. I actually welcome the core and legs exersize that is fairly low impact on my bad skiing knees. I am in better shape now than I was in my 30's and I hope this will step that up a bit.
aweesome video, im thinking about buying one as a 36yo with no skate experience so this was perfect info!!
Thanks for the video, I took your advice and I've purchased the one wheel and it's the most unique ride ever! Take the time to Invest in good safety gear and ride with caution! Helmet, wrist guards, knee pads, elbow and skater shoes! This board is no joke, you CAN NOT run off a sudden/abrupt stop you will go flying. 129 miles in, and my board did an abrupt stop/ felt like a power outage nose down and sent flying on to the concrete I laid there in agony. I was taken to the Emergency room for a dislocated and broken shoulder. It's not the flying that will hurt you it's the gravity and sudden stop :( ...enjoy and be safe! PS. Make sure you take your wallet,cell phone and health insurance card with you! It's not if you are going to need it, it's when. I would highly recommend having a plan on how you are going to to bail out in an emergency situation it will come up trust me.
Thanks for the info, man. Your video is 100X more informative than the Onewheel site. Truly appreciate your effort to inform. One question, though; how does a 6'7" guy squeeze himself into that sweet Stingray?
Sterling Archer Like a Glove. :)
great video man! im in my early 40's with little experience im glad im not the only one thinking about one haha!
Thank you! Yes, its a blast...get out there and ride!
Great video. I'm also big. I'm glad I found your video showing you getting around just fine.
Rob Sbisa :) Next up is the Boosted Rev video. Stay tuned!
New sub here, thanks for the vid Michael, I want one (I am in my 30's too but I do have skating/snowboarding experience) but I also haven't skated for over 10 years. Are you using the app on the fly while riding or are you making adjustments after each ride? That Goofy foot part was hilarious BTW.
nEdra gUnn Thanks! I did look at it on the fly the first couple of rides but now I just leave it in my pocket and just check in at the end of my rides. I donât really find the need to mess with any settings well in writing. You were going to love it, go buy one now! LOL
Ok, I just have to talk. I'm 60 plus. Good on the skies and snowboarder, I surfed for 40 years until a shark tried to eat me one morning. Got a one-wheel plus and i'm having a blast with it. This is a great video as I'm 6' plus and around 200 lbs. Every thing Mike is talking about is right on. Wear protection gear as the one-wheel is not a toy it's a street surfing machine. Like the warning sign at the top of a black diamond says "You Can Die". Have fun.
Agreed! Best comment ever...you almost got eaten by a shark and now you ride a onewheel. Hard to beat that story. "Surfing in the ocean with sharks...you can die." :-P
Which is why I stopped surfing as well! Fear of getting eaten!
Great job! Subscribed.
I'm not getting any fatigue of legs since like day 2 of floatlife. Just relax them more. Let your ankles and knees go with the bumps as they come. If your toes are tense you are tense and your calves will hurt
Jan Bateman Temple thanks for the feedback, Iâm for sure relaxing more on each ride. Calves are not getting as tight now.
Thank you i am getting a onewheel and this gave me a good insight into onewheels thankyou
Tiernan Jagoe youâre welcome!
No problem
Dude! You are me! Thanks for the review. Iâm looking at buying one.
I really enjoyed your way of expressing body sensations and the review in general, thanks
Alexey Podolsky thanks for the positive feedback.
Nice PSA - I'm 47 and also a skier-not-a-snowboarder type. I just ordered an XR "for my 9 year old surfer son." I fully intend to school him on this thing, and with your observations believe I can!
Iâm 52 and fixin to get one. Appreciate your info!
Also in Tucson, Oro valley. Great video and quality/editing great content, thanks!
MrInkdup thatâs awesome and thank you đđ».
Great video. I'll be turning 34 this month and am definitely considering getting one. Can't decide between the Pint and XR. Want the XR, but not that price.
Thanks for posting. Great information.
Helpful video. Thank you!
Great video. Thanks man!
Great video thank you for the review
Great info and vid my man, I get mine next month! Cant wait to tear some stuff uppppppppppppp!!!
Christopher Tozzi Sweet! I was riding mine last night and came up on some police officers in their cars and they were like, âWhat is that?!â With in a few minutes I had them loving it and even watching my CZcams video. Haha Congrats on getting one!
Very helpful! Thank you!
Lmao hey hilarious perspective. Iâm in my 40s and grew up in Hawaii and SoCal. Surfing, snowboarding, and skateboarding is second nature to me. So I have the complete opposite perspective. Thumbs up on the video because my wife agrees with you and we appreciate the video.
Russell S That is awesome and thanks for the positive feedback. My wife and I love Hawaii and we have been many times and even got married there seven years ago. Our favorite island is Kauai.
Learning to carve will help with the fatigue in your legs - you don't need to carve super deep but doing so will continuously change up the muscles you're engaging to support yourself. Works wonders!!
Matt Charnitski totally agree. I started carving more after I made this video and it made a huge difference in the leg fatigue.
Nice, I've watched a butch of videos about the onewheel and none talked about the goofy/ regular option on the app, I also ride goofy, I already have a onewheel and I concur with everything you said, I took a Nosedive riding kinda hard on mission mode (had all the safety gear on, it's a must with this beast). Still need to try the delirium mode, hopefully it works better for me too. No matter what I love it, can't wait to ride on all the new places this board will be able take me...Thanks for all the info!
Nice! Glad you are getting the hang of it. It only gets easier and more natural the more stay co distant with it. Float on!
I'm 53 and the onewheel is the best and most fun, freeing transportation I've ever had. That includes everything from the scooters to skateboards and those crappy hoverboards. I'll be buying the XR soon.
This guy looks/sounds like Andy Bernard from The Office.
Graham Greenland LOL never gotten that one before.
Graham Greenland he does lol

Yes. Absolutely!
Riddit dit ta dit ta doo
Great video, great tips and great Corvette, quite rightly always in the background. You've worked hard to buy it, so I enjoyed looking at it. So now you have to make a video of the Corvette too. Our Government doesn't like these sort of things (motion boards) here in the UK, but depending on the cost, I may say to hell with them. They already banned the Segway here.
One thing, although I may have missed the answer, is how long does a charge last for?
Second Unit Aerials thanks! Search CorvetteModz on CZcams and you will find my other channel with my Corvette videos. đ
The charge varies depending on the elevation but about 6-8 miles.
don't you have a third channel where you do it for dale?
79demonfire nope
Anyone can get credit ;)
Corvette is the poor man's sport car. If he is trying to show off, no one is impressed.
Iâm in a similar boat as you. About the same age and build. I was looking hard at the OneWheel but Iâm going with an Electric Unicycle instead.
Iâm 55 years old, and have the pint, the xr, msx and msx pro unicycles. Enjoy,
Nice video thanks. I had an electric skateboard for the last couple of years, but i was limited on where i can ride. I was thinking of getting an all terrain e-skateboard, but have decided to go for a one wheel instead. Iâm OK at snowboarding so hopefully Iâll pick it up OK. Iâm 42, and more interested in carving than going super fast.
When I get off my board I come to a stop and then jump off with one foot on one side of the board and the other foot on the other side. (Criss cross) It makes for an easy, and soft, dismount.
just lift your front heel and it disables, no need to jump
Michael - Been a year and half since you go your OW. Any other thoughts on it as a purchase? Are you still using it? And, beyond a helmet and wrist guards, what other padding would you recommend people getting. I'm thinking about getting one for my 55th b-day next week, and have been on boards all my life. But I want to avoid injuries as much as possible. Have had a lifetime supply of them!
Great info man. Thx.
Hey guy seen you on here for years and thanks for your helpful vids and input we need more guys like you.b Just wanted to add my two "sense" on the soft vs flat shoe thang. So interestingly my opinion changed with experience. In other words I was at a level for the longest time where if I didn't wear my vans I was all over the place and out of control with my New balance or Hoka's. Wasn't even a thought Flat Vans ornI didn't ride , period. To keep this short I'll just say now as I edge up to 16k between four boards. I Cannot do what I do or have the Superman control I need nor ride as long if I wore my Vans. Truly I would challenge you to try it again. This time know you have everything you need now I got head as a good rider and all your special little One wheel leg muscles have developed and now are ready to try out your flight shoes.
I can NOW do things at 52 no one has done or at least have yet to see anyone else attempt. I'll just say the springyness and roll room I'll call it enables me to have much more range I EVERY WAY over flats. Flats are handy with flightfins. They just snug-uo better so course control is better.
Ok,be safe all . And remember above all always always always KNOW TERRIAN AHEAD NOT YOU IF YOU MUST WALK IT FIRST. MANY EXAMPLES WHY BUT HERE'S ONE FOR FREE. YOUR RIDING AT NIGHT ALL IS FLAT LIKE BUTTER YOU WAITED AND LIVED FOR THIS. WITH A COOL NIGHT BREEZE THIS IS HEAVEN YOU FEEL SO ALIVE QND AWAR.......E......!!!@)#)$+$(@&#!!!!!! YOU JUST HIT A SPEED BUMP THAT EVEN LOOKING BACK YOU STILL CAN'T SEE BECAUSE ITS UNPAINTED!!!! WERENT THEY SUPPOSED TO BE PAINTED YELLOW???? NOPE AND DONT EXPECT ALL WILL BE GOOD BECAUSE THAT MAKES MORE SENSE . ACL hurts bad then there's surgery and waiting a whole week after surgery to get riding again. Crap!, Month later and did it AGAIN to other leg now. Last thing and very important. I know how to just let go and fall and had my ego been on break I wouldn't have cared about how so looked falling or trying to ,," run out the accident" to look cool or not as embarrassed because that kind of pressure I asked of my body was ridiculous and although I tried to save some embarrassment at 5he very 3nd I fell anyway. Everytime. This is a one wheel device! It's basically a "seesaw" on one wheel and some of us actually know that and God bless us we venture out again anyway. Well, sometimes love hurts. Hurts real bad. Just Glad I haven't quit and probably will still be riding if it means I'll have to strap a lawn chair to my board like those other guys who have done it đ
That's so true and thank you for the insight. Float on Bro!
