Don’t give up. Each day gets better. Remember to not look down when you take off. Important to focus on a point in front of you. I thought I would be able to do it for the first week. Perseverance is key.
No, you don't relearn how to ride, it's relearning mounts and dismounts on the heavy wheel with higher pedals. I started on a V8F mid 2020, have the Patton now. I had success using hiking poles. The V8 has a good cover available that will protect it from falls. Great job on the V8S. I'm impressed.
🤙🏽nice bro you got this!!! Only thing I see is you keep looking down when you mount. Trust me bro, look straight ahead when mounting and it’s so much easier. Don’t look down at your feet. 😀. Keep it up!
The issue was you not putting your left foot on and trusting the machine.....but that's ok, learning process. Keep it up man, you gonna be rocking soon
What up bro!! I commend you and respect your honesty. It's not everyday that men admit to being afraid of anything. Kudos to you for trying to learn something new. At 50 years old, I've decided that I'm gonna pass on the EUC's. I'll stick to the Onewheel, I'll probably upgrade to the GTS at some point, but the EUC's are a different kettle of fish. I know my limitations. Anyway, don't give man. I'm anxious to see where you take it.
This is me. I'm getting my first wheel today! Tried gearing up and riding a bigger wheel but it was too heavy and kept knocking me off the wheel. Hopefully the inmotion V8 will be a lot lighter and easier to stay on .
You’re gonna love the V8s. It’s a lot more manageable being so light. I couldn’t get anywhere on my Lynx but the V8s 1st day I was rolling. Not the the stablest but at least moving. You got this 🙌🏾
Smiling and watching this. Keep working at it. IMO it is easier to learn on a harder surface. Using that fence and the jeep, to me, is perfect. Learned on a commander pro on concrete. I was able to use a small hallway to get used to balance. Mind over matter. The wheel(s) have power but so do you.
Hey Man! Love your videos and have been following since I switched from Onewheel to EUC myself about 6 months ago. I also started with a V8S and it was fantastic to learn on. I have an Inmotion V14 now, and If I could offer some advice on mounting your Lynx, you should try to get more comfortable balancing it against one leg. Go on short little hops with just one leg on the wheel to get a feel for the balance. This will help free mounting a lot in the future, and also remove the need for you to hold onto the handle when attempting to mount. You're already making great progress! All the learning happens while you're sleeping the day after a good practice session, so you're better every day! Ride safe and float on, my friend. The breakthrough is coming!
Nicely done! I've only been at it with EUCs for about 6 months now (I'm 40, FYI). I started on a Kingsong 16X and had a heck of a time at first. It definitely took me a few weeks before I could do the basics without feeling like I was going to fall all of the time. After getting much better on it, I ordered a Lynx. I was pretty bummed at first because I just couldn't ride it. I kept trying to do shorts straight runs in my living room to get things down so it didn't feel like I'd tilt over at any second. When I finally tried things outside, it definitely felt pretty sketchy! That said, I've only had the Lynx for a couple of months now and I'm already offroading, dropping curbs, doing small jumps, and hitting 25mph regularly (sometimes 30, but that still feels sketchy to me). I really felt like I wasn't going to be able to ride the thing at all for awhile there! Just thought I'd share as a newer rider because so many people gloss over how difficult the learning curve on these bigs wheels can be. You'll definitely get it and just know you're certainly not alone in feeling like the Lynx is a crazy beast to even get the basics on for a bit there! After you nail that V8S, the Lynx won't feel easy, but it will feel much more approachable. Best of luck and happy riding man!
Right on Man! That’s exactly what I had to do. Only I got a $300 used Ninebot a1. 20 minutes on that and I was able to ride my bigger one! Sometimes it’s what you gotta do, especially when we’re older and hit the ground like a ton of bricks.
I was smiling when you mounted and took off with the v8s and when you did your first turn. You're going to get it bro. It's just a matter of time and practice. Gotta season those legs.
Your getting there. It took me a few sessions to build up the muscle memory in my legs and feet. It looked like trying to learn in the grass is a great idea for in case you drop yourself or the wheel but it's definitely harder to get going in the grass. You got this! Great video and thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching!! The grass was definitely a little tricky. I couldn’t really get going but I’ll keep trying. Got around a few blocks today which is pretty good for me. I’ll try to do a little more each day. Eventually everything should click so I’m just gonna keep putting in work.
@@therealbergexperience5640 It will if you keep grinding. I'm new too. I just got my first wheel ( Veteran Sherman S ) and honestly it has taken me a few weeks of practice everyday to "get it". The only thing I'm having trouble with now is foot pain and foot placement. Your doing really good with the mounting already.
Hey man stick with it! I bought a master as my first wheel and it kicked my ass all over the place. I was practicing in the garage and put a hole in the drywall and a dent in the freezer. I bought a v5 (cheapest could find) just as a learner wheel like your v8s. I didn’t mind dropping it as much and that made a big difference in confidence. Now I’m back on the master after a couple months with a little more confidence but still a lot of learning ahead of me! You got this!!
Your vibe is just so genuine, absolutely love watching the vids I got a Onewheel because of you and am having a blast. I’m sure you’ll pick this up too with enough practice!
I gave up on the Lynx too. At 5’6 and 150 lbs, I had no chance at starting out with this monster. I was more than willing to send it but I’m just too weak to handle this beast, I need to start over and learn with a smaller wheel.
The smaller wheel is a lot more manageable. I’m sending it tomorrow 🤣 going for a long run. They say the more you ride the more you learn. I’m going for it 💯
Great post, keep sharing your learning experience. I think everyone is overconfident about how they will pick something up, hence why you started with the bigger euc instead doing what you're doing now. Good luck, I see you putting in the hard work. I'm sure we'll see you cruising in videos in no time.
Get a cheap used lightweight wheel to learn on. Although the v8s is $650 on Amazon this week and that's a good deal! DO NOT LEARN on a high performance wheel. About 10%-20% of used wheels are from those who bit off more than they could chew.
I will say it’s a lot easier learning on the V8s. The Lynx is light for a high performance wheel but it’s a behemoth for a new rider like myself. I’ll say I bit off more than I could chew but I’m still glad to have. It’s beautiful 😂 sitting in the kitchen. I still get on it every couple of days but the V8s is what I’m actually able to ride. Either way good luck on your journey my friend!!
@@therealbergexperience5640 I’m thrilled that you shared this video. I’ve spent a considerable amount of time looking at used EUCs for sale, and its unfortunate how many people jumped into beginning on a hyped wheel only to regret the decision and lost the motivation to continue riding. This is a huge 800-pound gorilla of a problem for the industry representatives to manage. and it harms the long term interests of all EUC riders by severely limiting the organic growth rate of this PEV market segment. There are dozens of EUC ‘learning experiences’ that I might not have survived uninsured if it had not been for my 300Watt beginner wheel. Learning on an underpowered wheel is actually far more skills enriching than most people appreciate. Every moment of riding and learning new skills on an EUC is pure joy (except for the pain). Anyone considering an EUC currently has a headwind of marketing hype to overcome in making a good decision for their future selves. There are hundreds of reasonable starter wheels coming from a community of riders who generally care for their vehicles. Lastly, the v8s is a great wheel at a great price of $650(new). But… the axle isn’t made to withstand curb drops for most people over 120#. So it’s great at everything ‘commuter’ but not aerial maneuvers. The best thing about learning on a lower power wheel is that you can more safely learn to recognize eminent power cut-out signals, voltage-sage and ‘dips’ (just before cut-out), then learn to body memory necessary to ‘ride the dips’ and recover power by lightening the current demand through your stance and gentle movements with your machine. This makes for a great start to a lifelong endeavor. Congratulations on doing EUCs right! {And, I think the Lynx is worth waiting for (just store the battery at between 30%-80% State-of-Charge, and it will be fine for years, if checked annually. I’ve got a feeling that you’ll be riding both within a few months. Good luck
When I was 10 I got a unicycle for Christmas, and I leaned to ride it in the hallway. Yes, I had to repaint the hallway when I was done, but maybe try that yourself?
I kinda got it. Just not really good just yet. I’m putting in a long ride tomorrow to see if it helps. Thank you my friend. My wife will kill me if I tear up the house 🤣
Keep it up! I would actually suggest not to worry to much about mounting/dismounting part and get as much actual riding in as possible because riding is much more gratifying and you will be improving your balancing which will naturally improve your ability to mount/dismount. So feel free to brace yourself against a tree/fence/car for an easier launch.
Basketball court. Tennis court. Any flat smooth surface with a tall fence. Move slowly along the fence at first, then try a short trip of corner to corner. Then go from side to side. The faster you go the easier it is to stay up.
i felt the same way at first bro. now i'm clocking miles! never give up. I started with the V8S. got to the point where I was overpowering the V8. Picked up the lynx and it took a couple days to get used to. I've been riding less than 3 months as of today and now i'm ripping 45MPH plus doing miles. still have the V8S for short cruising trips. Looks Like you live in Cali. If you do maybe we can meet up and roll.
On grass, a few things to note: 1. On grass it’s harder to ride. 2. You don’t need protection above the waist at your current level. You are still trying to protect your wheel. 😄. You need to just let it drop. Yeah your heart will hurt but you will learn much faster. Also see if there are any local riders, it’s easier to learn with a group.
Keep going! V8f is also a great wheel. I have v11. You will learn to ride first before you can correctly mount and dismount but that’s didn’t stop me!! Hahah
Thank you Zoda!! You kill it on that V11. Juggling while you ride. I don’t know how you do it. I can’t even hold a selfie stick while I’m on it. You should pump your videos to CZcams. You would be 1 of the top channels. Absolutely 1 of the best riders I’ve seen on a EUC. When I get good enough I’ll go for 1 of those group rides in Miami. Thank you for supporting and keep killing it 💯
@@therealbergexperience5640 Thank you very much! We'll have to ride when I visit key west again. Word of advice grass is shit to learn on! Look up ahead where you want to go. Try to ride on smooth hard ground preferably in a place with something you can hold onto like the inside of a tennis court. I was riding on the streets on a learning on a 100lb veteran sherman (im 130lb) and when I'd stop I'd have to hold the wheel. Like I said you will learn to ride before you can comfortably dismount/mount and that's normal! You will find many OW riders switch to euc but seldom the other way around. The motion, freedom and speed..... like no other
@@diet_zoda5711 definitely look forward to that. Let me know if you’re ever down this way and we’ll definitely go for a ride. Otherwise once I get better I’ll reach out when I head up to join 1 of those group rides. I ain’t trying grass for a while. I can’t get going. I have to try to remember not looking down at the wheel. Look where I want to go. Thank you for everything 💯
I enjoy seeing the process. But considering getting a v8f to ride while buddies can ride my onewheel. Keep it up bro curious to see which one you enjoy more once you are fully comfortable on the euc
I bought my first euc Begode extreme last feb now 3mos past I put 1200miles on it. I learn on pavement it’s easier than learning it on the grass believe me. I have no experience with euc , I’m not gonna lie to you you will crash lol but just keep going and practice everyday at least 2hrs a day and you will get better for sure.
Nice one bro it wont be long and it will click, stick and master the V8S great beginner wheel wait until you are ready for the bigger wheel ps your pads are on wrong 12:00 come to Australia i will have you riding hard in a week
Thank you my friend. I don’t know what the hell I was doing with those pads 🤣 I just put em on there to help with scratching up the wheel. Definitely holding off on the big wheel. I’m having hard enough time with the V8s. I’m just glad I can ride at all.
I wish I could my friend. That big wheel cost $4200 and is impossible not drop. The small 1 was only $650 and I don’t mind banging it up. It’s a lot more doable too. Got to get my bearings 1st. This EUC journey is hard in itself 💯
I haven’t done much on grass. They say it’s more forgiving if you fall. I ended up learning on the street. I’ve gotten pretty decent on the V8. Need to move up to my bigger wheel but I’m kinda scared myself. I’m gonna go for it though. Maybe today!!
Take the pads off. First of all you have them on backwards, second, you don't need them for this wheel and they'll actually get in the way of your learning how to ride and adjusting your foot placement. To turn, just naturally look in the direction you want to go while turning your body the same way.
watched ur last 4 vids. ur through the hardest bit imo. . u need to nail the foot placement. when u miss it, stop and take off again. each second ur moving, is a second that ur wasting not practicing nailing the foot placement on first go. easy on v8, harder trying to move ur foot into correct position while moving forward on Lynx's more grippy pedals. . Ull learnt how to dismount from above step . Learning to turn wide is slow will just come to you. . Lastly, the fast it goes the hard it is to fall off, as well as turn. this is gyro effect. Watch this 5 times, and the rest ill come after from just riding. Dont stop riding, the brain will sort out the mappings and balance. czcams.com/video/IulOODBDfQg/video.html
That video was made some smoothly. Dude looks like he’s in a video game. I’ve watched it twice. I’m gonna go for a ride than watch it again. Foot placement is key. I had a feeling. It just seemed easier the 1 time I got it right. Thank you my friend!!
I think you skipped day 1 in EUC school, since you are missing the very basic of skills to start riding. Look at 'wheel good time's video called 'DONT LOOK DOWN! How to Ride an EUC (Step by Step Tutorial)', which is probably the best video out there to teach the basic skills first.
I wouldn’t say skipped the 1st day. Everyone has told that. It’s not something you think about. You tend to naturally just do it. Then when I actually think about it I try my best to look where I want to go. I’ll get the hang of it. Just have to ride more. Thank you though. Much appreciated!!
@@therealbergexperience5640 you got this, bro! definitely feels better the more you ride. its funny because it just comes. like one day its wtf am i doing wrong? and the next day youll feel like a pro lol. getting my legs moving the way they needed to hold the balance was really hard at first, like sweatin bullets and gassing out after 30-40 minutes of mounting, falling, remounting, but only moving 30 feet lol. it took about 2 weeks and a couple wipeouts to really get the hang of it, after 10-15 miles i was riding it around town on the sidewalks going to stores and restaurants in my locality. i have a small wheel so its not the worst, but even that at the start was a tough ride. im gonna have to hit the leg machines too when i upgrade to a large wheel this summer haha
Bro that Heavy EUC for Beginners will just Hurt your ankles, Legs, hips and Back. That's a 80 Lbs between your Legs. No Beginners will ever to Ride that. Thank Goodness you smart Enough to get V8 (But Honestly for Your Age, Once You fall on Those Thing. It could be 50/50) You able to stand up and not break anything or Just Hurt your Bone and Get you in trouble not able to go to Work for Weeks
Behemoth 🤣 the V8s much more manageable. It’ll be a while before I actually ride the Lynx. I still touch it every day just keep some familiarity. I’m not trying to break any bones. They suck.
Don’t give up. Each day gets better. Remember to not look down when you take off. Important to focus on a point in front of you.
I thought I would be able to do it for the first week. Perseverance is key.
Good to see a video. Scary when we don't hear from you.
It’s been a min. Sorry about that my friend. This journey threw me off for min. I’ll try to keep em coming 💯 Thamk you for watching too 🙌🏾
No, you don't relearn how to ride, it's relearning mounts and dismounts on the heavy wheel with higher pedals. I started on a V8F mid 2020, have the Patton now. I had success using hiking poles. The V8 has a good cover available that will protect it from falls.

I enjoy seeing the process. But considering getting a v8f to ride while buddies can ride my onewheel. Keep it up bro curious to see which one you enjoy more once you are fully comfortable on the euc
To paraphrase Kate Holiday, "You big chicken".
Watching a few "How to Ride vids." would have sped your efforts up imo.
I bought my first euc Begode extreme last feb now 3mos past I put 1200miles on it. I learn on pavement it’s easier than learning it on the grass believe me. I have no experience with euc , I’m not gonna lie to you you will crash lol but just keep going and practice everyday at least 2hrs a day and you will get better for sure.
Careful brutha!
Nice one bro it wont be long and it will click, stick and master the V8S great beginner wheel wait until you are ready for the bigger wheel ps your pads are on wrong 12:00 come to Australia i will have you riding hard in a week
Thank you my friend. I don’t know what the hell I was doing with those pads 🤣 I just put em on there to help with scratching up the wheel. Definitely holding off on the big wheel. I’m having hard enough time with the V8s. I’m just glad I can ride at all.
im from Onewheel and just bought a V8s as well.. let's learn together lol
Do what is HARD! and is EASY will come LATER!
I wish I could my friend. That big wheel cost $4200 and is impossible not drop. The small 1 was only $650 and I don’t mind banging it up. It’s a lot more doable too. Got to get my bearings 1st. This EUC journey is hard in itself 💯
Hey what helmet is that?
Is is easier to learn on grass? I got a v8 as well i pickup used beat up but seems to work good. Im scared shit less 😂
I haven’t done much on grass. They say it’s more forgiving if you fall. I ended up learning on the street. I’ve gotten pretty decent on the V8. Need to move up to my bigger wheel but I’m kinda scared myself. I’m gonna go for it though. Maybe today!!
Take the pads off. First of all you have them on backwards, second, you don't need them for this wheel and they'll actually get in the way of your learning how to ride and adjusting your foot placement. To turn, just naturally look in the direction you want to go while turning your body the same way.
watched ur last 4 vids. ur through the hardest bit imo.
. u need to nail the foot placement. when u miss it, stop and take off again. each second ur moving, is a second that ur wasting not practicing nailing the foot placement on first go. easy on v8, harder trying to move ur foot into correct position while moving forward on Lynx's more grippy pedals.
. Ull learnt how to dismount from above step
. Learning to turn wide is slow will just come to you.
. Lastly, the fast it goes the hard it is to fall off, as well as turn. this is gyro effect. Watch this 5 times, and the rest ill come after from just riding. Dont stop riding, the brain will sort out the mappings and balance. czcams.com/video/IulOODBDfQg/video.html
That video was made some smoothly. Dude looks like he’s in a video game. I’ve watched it twice. I’m gonna go for a ride than watch it again. Foot placement is key. I had a feeling. It just seemed easier the 1 time I got it right. Thank you my friend!!
ho anche io il v8s e sto imparando....guarda il mio video
I think you skipped day 1 in EUC school, since you are missing the very basic of skills to start riding. Look at 'wheel good time's video called 'DONT LOOK DOWN! How to Ride an EUC (Step by Step Tutorial)', which is probably the best video out there to teach the basic skills first.
I wouldn’t say skipped the 1st day. Everyone has told that. It’s not something you think about. You tend to naturally just do it. Then when I actually think about it I try my best to look where I want to go. I’ll get the hang of it. Just have to ride more. Thank you though. Much appreciated!!
@@therealbergexperience5640 Did you watch that video I said???
its such an unnatural feeling when you first start and you really have to commit. it is scary. hit the gym and get on those leg machines.
For sure. Definitely unnatural. I’m gonna ride a lot tomorrow. The more I ride the better it should feel. Hopefully 🤞🏾
@@therealbergexperience5640
you got this, bro! definitely feels better the more you ride. its funny because it just comes. like one day its wtf am i doing wrong? and the next day youll feel like a pro lol. getting my legs moving the way they needed to hold the balance was really hard at first, like sweatin bullets and gassing out after 30-40 minutes of mounting, falling, remounting, but only moving 30 feet lol. it took about 2 weeks and a couple wipeouts to really get the hang of it, after 10-15 miles i was riding it around town on the sidewalks going to stores and restaurants in my locality.
i have a small wheel so its not the worst, but even that at the start was a tough ride. im gonna have to hit the leg machines too when i upgrade to a large wheel this summer haha
Bro that Heavy EUC for Beginners will just Hurt your ankles, Legs, hips and Back.
That's a 80 Lbs between your Legs. No Beginners will ever to Ride that.
Thank Goodness you smart Enough to get V8
(But Honestly for Your Age, Once You fall on Those Thing. It could be 50/50)
You able to stand up and not break anything or Just Hurt your Bone and Get you in trouble not able to go to Work for Weeks
Behemoth 🤣 the V8s much more manageable. It’ll be a while before I actually ride the Lynx. I still touch it every day just keep some familiarity. I’m not trying to break any bones. They suck.
look cooler on a onewheel
Yeah. It’s bout time for a vid on the Onewheel. I think I’m gonna do a night vid test out this ace pro. I gotchu 😉
