Lucky man. It goes to show that good quality safety gear is a vital investment. Thanks for showing this, it's a really good lesson for everyone.
It feels wrong to “like” a crash video…. But I do like that Andrew is relatively well and appreciate the lesson for us all.
Every "like" the video gets helps Andrew to heal faster!
It's okay to like this video because it's good for others to learn from my lessons. Respect the hobby and gear up all the time.
Like is a crappy wording anyways. It should be "this video deserves more views" - button.
@@Andrew-vt4jt 6:48 "a little bit of bruising" - I wouldn't call that for little, looks like a pretty nasty case of asphalt eczema to me😬 Great reminder to wear safety gear, perhaps even a bit more when pushing the limits🙂🙃 Good no cars was on the road 👍⚙️💨
It helps the algorithm spread that video and, as you said, it's a good lesson for everyone, so like away!
Thanks Jimmy and Andrew! I am happy to see Andrew was relatively injury free from that high speed crash. I have crashed over 30MPH a couple times and it sucked. Gear saved me both times from significant injury. I am not getting a Master to hit 60MPH. I want that 60MPH so I can cruise at 35-40MPH with a LOT of head room.
100% Respect the beeps and you should be fine. Push the limits, and eventually it will catch up with you. Be safe!
@@freshlycharged My Pebble watch Wheel Log setup vibrates when I hit 40MPH. I can't always hear the beeps at speed. I think it is mandatory to have a real-time monitoring device that shows your speed when you are looking forward. I have my Pebble attached to my Flexmeter wrist-guards so I can easily see all key data and keep an eye out in front of me. Beeps and speed wobbles always keep m on my toes.
@@RCDevotee love my pebble watch! Didn’t know it still worked after getting phased out
@@freshlycharged Checkout Marty's guide on using the Pebble as your EUC World real-time monitor that lasts all day and provides live data and vibration warnings.
@@freshlycharged You will want to use your Pebble as your EUC dashboard going forward. There is nothing quite like it. It is even better than the displays on EUCs as who looks down when you are doing 40mph+?
I've crashed before. (After that, )one rule I remembered : "EUC riders should always respect the beep."
How about "EUC riders should always stop wasting Earth's resources, get off their ridiculous things and buy a much more practical bicycle?"
@@Kahsimiah You're definitely not an adrenaline junkie lol I've heard the same argument for scooters but I'd never give my longboard up for a scooter. It's just more fun to live on the edge even if it means I might die younger. Also these unicycles are less resource-intensive so in theory if somebody uses it in lieua of a bicycle they're actually probably doing the Earth a benefit
@@friedtomatoes4946 climber, mountaineer and road bike racer is what I am, so don't even try to tell me anything about edges. The speed that little rare earth consuming unithingy does for you, my body can reach itself, even if just for a short time. It's like flying and you can do it without f*****g with the environment too much. But then again, we've seen in this video that unithingy riders fall off at that speed and their unithingy goes byebye when they do, so I'd conclude that 45 is only meant to be reached for a short time here, too.
Plus, I can modify my bike to carry bags to shop for a week or ride longer distances.
All without needing electronics and batteries, which are not very eco friendly in harvesting resources, very hard to recycle and ethically problematic.
Oh and my bike turned 18 this year. Can a unithingy reach that age fully functional? I highly doubt that.
@@Kahsimiah frankly dude I'm too mentally ill to actually keep up a consistent workout schedule. I would be unable to do any of the things you do to push the limits. On top of that I'm time constrained and location constrained. My only access to the adrenaline rush is my longboard. Also this crash here with this unicycle was indeed when someone was pushing it past what it was supposed to be going. The same thing can happen on a motorcycle or a bicycle. Sure it's more likely to happen on this thing but even this unicycle is in a repairable condition. An electric bicycle is also a rare earth-consuming thing. It's motors wear out at the same rate it's batteries wear out at the same rate and the electronics themselves are not super material expensive. Sure they are very intensive to make but in terms of resources used on them it's not anything that's that rare. You're not going to get any argument with me a bike is infinitely more practical and before my mania hit I used to ride bikes all the time.
Your environment argument makes no sense though because an electric bicycle consumes as much or more than this unicycle. Are you suggesting that we should just ride regular bicycles? That's fine for some sure but there are mobility limited people. On top of that these are usually very low production run maybe a few thousand produced. Not a huge impacter compared to other industries. In fact if you want to get on the whole it's bad for the planet thing there are thousands of more resource intensive luxury items that we could cut. For example cars, cell phones, portable battery banks, laptops and computers, ect. These are things consumed in the millions and disposed of unnecessarily and improperly in the millions. In the grand scheme of things a limited production run of a small item using minimal amounts of rare earth material is not even a measurable drop in the bucket of our consumption. It also represents a significant increase in the joy and happiness of those who use it.
We have to understand that all of our luxury items come at a significant cost to the environment. Do we really need that new phone? Do you really need that new TV? The answer to that is no but people are going to buy it no matter what. The solution is not to not purchase these new things but to develop better for the environment ways to produce them. Biodegradable plastics, carbon organic batteries, better and more proper recycling systems, awareness of proper disposal, ect. If properly disposed something like these unicycles can be like 80% reused. The lithium can be extracted and the rest of the materials can be melted down and reused. Even the plastic can be recycled usually.
@@friedtomatoes4946 you tell him bro I support you
The gear literally saved Andrew's life. That was one of the worst EUC crashes I have ever seen. So glad he was able to walk away from it.
i dont think he would have died from that without gear, just more injured
@@Blox117 head injury at 40mph
@@Blox117 His head slammed into the pavement at over 40mph and then dragged along for a bit. That's tantamount to diving out of a moving car head first. I'm just glad we'll never know.
@@tedraymundo9283 no his helmet is a few inches thicker than his head. if the helmet werent there his head might not have even touched the ground
@@shassabo no head injury there, that helmet would look badly damaged if it were.
Wowzers, that was a hell of a tumble. Glad he’s okay, that could have been real nasty.
thats what happens on begoday wheels
but for real, the hype around this is completely unwarranted. there are no 60mph wheels yet, and this one looks like it struggles to maintain a safe 50mph even. the only wheel that appears to be a true 50mph wheel is the monster pro, but im not experienced with it so i dont even know if thats true.
@@Blox117 monster pro 92kph done by unipsycho. And maybe others.
A master on dynomo with 80kg on did 100kph for a short while,
Not sure if that was hs or ht version.
OMG Andrew thank goodness you are okay!!!! I’m very compassionate after my own horrific scooter accident- it left me traumatized (and my brain), but hoping back on my scooters and ebikes again of course! Lots of lessons learnt from this, and one of them, like you, I got overly comfortable and that’s when it happened
EUC's have reached their peak speed. Same thing with scooters last year. There is too much risk going over 50-60 mph on these devices to ever warrant needing that much speed. It's time for the manufacturers to fine tune their current models and make them all the best quality possible. There is no reason to go faster. The scooter market is in this phase now of version 2 and 3 scooters coming out that are improved. EUCs will follow. Cheers to better quality for all of us in coming years!
There's a lot of risk going over 50km/h even 40 on these and scooters on constant basis. And i say it as mildly extreme bike driver.
Glad Andrew was able to get up and relatively well. Take special care. Praying for you guys. Be safe. Thanks for your reviews.
Andrew, wow. So glad you're still with us! I know you woke up sore. But given the lack of an epilogue, I'm assuming your bumps and bruises are healing nicely. Way to show off the capabilities of the protection you were wearing! Stay safe, and thanks for a great - if not adrenaline inducing - video!
Good one! I don't watch crash videos, but I think this crash, w/ everything else said, and in the perspective of a solid review, was REALLY important to see. So relieved you weren't hurt, and yes, this is the perfect "Wear Gear" video.
oh my goodness!! so glad you guys are okay.. what a gnarly crash, Thank God for that safety gear
I really appreciate the lessons Andrew and Jimmy. Thanks for taking one for the euc community Andrew. More Chooch and Chang with Andrew Please
Wow, what a fall. Without that helmet and other gear, don't think the outcome would have been the same. Glad that you're okay!
Pay the doctor or pay the gear manufacturer
Edit: or pay the mortician
Thanks for doing these testings for all of us, speedy recovery Andrew. Begode Begone!!!
I had my first scooter crash yesterday, got road rash on my Knees and elbows bruised hip as well. But nowhere like your's Andrew, this is shocking and you still finished the video Kudo's. Man you one tough cookie! Been shopping for protective gear since my crash. Thxs for the video guys keep up the good work!
Glad to see you guys are ok. Ride safe. You’ve come a long way Jimmy. I still watch you’re learner videos. Plz update those ASAP. especially do a 2022 best beginner wheel since the 16s is great but tech wise,it’s ancient. PLZ DO.
Great idea! Thanks for the support!
That crash was REALLY scary to watch. I’m glad Andrew seems to be okay, and hope he has a good recovery.
Dude, I'm so glad you're ok - That was quite the crash. I don't ever dare my Thunder II because I wouldn't be so fortunate. Hope you're all healed by now and a bit 'wiser'. Stuff happens - And hopefully we learn. Keep rollin' guys - Really Love your videos!
So glad you are okay Andrew. Hope for speedy recovery. Yes, tough lesson learned. I have never ridden an EUC and probably never will because of higher risks of crashing. Will stick with my stable Bronco.
I happy to see that Andrew was able to walk away from this with minor injuries. I wish Andrew a speedy recovery.
I just experienced my first wipe out on my Dualtron thunder few days ago and have to wear a brace for my wrist. Give thanks you only came out with minor injuries yourself. This was definitely a learning experience.
Wishing you a speedy recovery! How's the Thunder?
@@freshlycharged only visible damage was on the left side by the front and rear light. It rubbed down a bit. Before my next ride after recovery I’ll be adding the sliders and damper.
Glad to you are ok. Appreciate these gnarly reviews. You guys push it to the limits.
Win some you lose some..... happy you're ok man. We love your content! Can never spend too much on safety gear!
I would never get on a wheel without gloves going 20mph, forget about 50+. Idk what this dude was thinking. You fell very cleanly and I'm glad you are ok.
A trolly handle with premature ejection problems? Classic line that probably got missed in the hype of the crash. Great video gents, awesome you got that crash on video, those who have not yet crashed at speed might learn something and gear up.
Jimmy and Andrew, Thank you for the great reviews. Andrew, Thank you for taking one for the team. I hope you don’t have any lasting affects from the crash. It was a nasty crash. A follow up review of the safety gear should be next. Wear safety gear, and heed the warning beeps.
Hi Jimmy, good lessons learned from Andrew and I hope he is okay. The Master is the Timex watch of EUC's, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
There’s no better advertisement for proper safety gear than Andrew’s mishap. That was one mighty crash, yet Andrew got up and walked away, and rode away, because he follows ATGATT. Ignoring the beeps? Well, that’s another matter. 😁
Learned my lesson the hard way with this crash. Lucky to have walked away from this crash.
What does ATGATT means?
@@volooooo It means “All the gear all the time.”
Really Appreciated you to share and review this,
hope every off you be healthy and safe😮
Just viewed this incident,and it is a miracle you emerged from this horrific crash all in one piece and credit to your protective gear,without which the outcome would have been tragic.Happy you are still around first and foremost for your family,friends,and last but not least the numerous fans who enjoy the exciting content you and Jimmy share with your fan base on CZcams.
As of posting this,I figure you are completely healed by now.
I am doing well and glad I learned from this lesson without majorly breaking any bones. I don't push EUCs to the limits anymore. I'll let someone else do that from now on. Thankful for great safety gear.
@Andrew Sage decision. Don't throw caution to the wind and be extremely careful out there.
After that light tumble Jimmy had on the grass and busted the taillight, it made me wonder how the wheel would react in a high speed crash ... now we know thanks to Andrew. Glad you are OK brother. With no shell, that wheel clearly isn't fully protected. A beginner rider could easily drop the wheel in training and bust up stuff.
But I'd like to point out one thing which is obvious, and I say this only because I'm a guitar player. Riding with finger-less gloves is not fully protected. All gear worked as advertised in this case, but broken hands or hamburger fingers would be life-changing .... slice a few nerves on the slide and find out ... imagine for a minute not being able to use your hands ... full hand protection is as important as a helmut IMHO .. so I hope riders out there consider this often over-looked detail. Let's hope Andrew heals up in all areas. Thanks Jimmy for the channel.
Appreciate the insight! Looking for some good gloves right now!
@@EUCvibes bro his hands would have been Swiss cheese without those are you crazy? And even if he was going at slower speeds road rash on your hands SUCKS
Thank you guys so much for the video and risking life and limb for the rest of us! Glad everyone is ok. That's a crash any wheel would have trouble surviving - if Begode sees fit to reinforce the front and rear of the wheel, I'll likely pick one up. Thanks again : ))
Great video. It’s not a perfect world. No matter how “SUPER!” the vehicle, eventually it will suffer from the harsh reality.
Two things are great about this: it shows how despite taking a real beating, it still works for its primary purpose.
Secondly, this shows the high value of good safety gear.
Great job!
I guess the takeaway from this episode is that the EUC universe is subject to the same or similar laws of physics as our own! Wishing you a speedy recovery Andrew, and thanks for the timely reminder to take care, and don’t be so much like Icarus, be more like Jimmy. 👍🏻
Glad you are ok Andrew! Gear is indeed important. I usually gear to the speeds I travel, and the moment you mentioned you were going into the 40's, I immediately thought about your hands and road rash. At any speed over 35, I add full fingered moto gloves to save my fingers and wear a full moto suit to try to curb road rash.
I liked Jimmy's monologue talking about how EUC tech is increasing. But we do have to remember that 134v is brand spanking new tech and numbers we are used to in the 100v world (i.e. should be ok at certain speeds at 60% battery, 3 beeps should still be ok...) may not necessarily translate 1 to 1. I loved everything about the Master except the battery because I know battery sag is a big cutout factor and the Master eats battery like candy...1% every second in some situations, and the rider is having such a great time that it's hard to notice that battery slipping away.
Anyways, glad Andrew is ok and everyone please gear up to match your riding! Hope your Master is restored soon!!
What Full Moto suit do you have??
Battery sags are more pronounced in the Master, especially they wired it to lower the volt to reduce battery potentially battery fire. Watch Kevin from e-ride for more info. This method might work if they have 3600Wh for the Master..
@@curtflirt2 Joe Rocket Survivor. There was a deal on it that made it not that much more than a LazyRolling Jacket, so I jumped on it.
@@euc_sharkman okay, thanks
At 12:07 you can see a piece heading into the stratosphere! Insane that you were not too badly hurt and that thing didn't catch on fire immediately!
s20 would have blown up
I bought my Wolf Warrior X because of your review, guys. And I bought protective equipment after I fell from a rent scooter. Now I have some black and blue on my legs but no more risk. I see the guys who drive scooters without any equipment, and now it scares me even more. Hope your bruises won't stay for a long. Stay safe. Wish you the best from Ukraine.
What a champion maintaining composure after that wipe out. 👏 keep that gear on tight!
I got nailed by a car last week while riding my Phantom in Miami. Shits gnarly but always wear your safety gear people!!
That was definitely scary. I'm so glad he was properly geared up. I hope he recovers quickly and fully.
The word you're looking for is _barely._ He was barely geared up. Why would riding on one wheel require less protection than riding on two? 🤔
Traveling at that speed you need better safety gear. You should have full gloves not those cheap wrist protectors. You need to protect your fingers as well.
Excellent narrating skills 👍
And I'm impressed by both, the EUC and the man involved in this crash. They're both a tough nut 💪
Love your video's. Hope that you have a speedy recovery. 🤘😬🤘stay safe. Amazing machine, still want one.😁
Phew... that was quite a fall. The tumbling is the worst. It is in our instincts to try and walk or run off the wheel which can get interesting at 40mph. Glad to see you made it out okay. There is a belt loop in the jacket that can be connected to the pants. Most people are not aware of it or don't use it. It won't perform miracles but it does more than nothing. Time for a new jacket or hoodie! Mail our support at Lazyrolling and we will hook you up.
In 2 weeks he may be fully healed. Contrast that to how his head would have hit the road, as evidenced by the helmet damage, without cranial protection. I doubt he would have been fine in 2 weeks without the gear. Good stuff guys.
Yes proper gear will keep a minor crash minor
They were looking at speed of 60 mph. Check into better gear. Speed and over confidence kills.
So glad to see Andrew is OK. That crash looked nasty! Ride safe everyone!
This kind of footage is excellent for promoting use of safety gear. Well done.
Glad Andrew is ok. Impressive video.
Thanks Ronin. He's healing well. Keep up the great work on your channel!
@@freshlycharged thank you for your encouragements! I appreciate your channel!
Wow… that pattern of fall damage shows how important it is to wear a helmet, knee, wrist, elbow, and shoulder protection!!! Very educational but hope he heals fast! Pay attention to beeps guys! We’re all mortals and all technology has a yield limit! Thanks for the video!
@JM Coulon I agree. Also, since you roll after faceplanting, some kind of hip protection is important too after wrist, knee, elbow and face protection.
Also, how about falling on your back on asphalt if you have a cut out during breaking hard to avoid an accident in. The city?
@JM Coulon I always say get on the wheel assuming today you will be the day that you will have an accident and your job is to avoid it! That little bit of anxiety helps you ride more consciously and enough cautiously. TBH, it’s overconfidence that causes accidents.
You seem to be riding as it’s supposed to be done! I Wishing you the best of luck bro!
Have you cared for anyone that’s busted their teeth on an electric unicycle?😂
@@freshlycharged LOL!!! Not on EUC yet... it's not as common here in Boston yet.... but plenty of folks from Basketball and Hockey. Actually, one of the top Bruins players not too long ago! ;)
Yo! Andrew! Glad you are ok! Dang that was quite the spectacular fall.
I like that your reviews are legitimate and really I depth.
Just goes to show you how good Flexmeter wristguards are. Those things saved my hands in the past too.
Easily the best wristguards
do you guys know what it means when i have permanent pain in my wrist? it only hurts when i twist it a certain way. id say its fully healed now as its been a year ago but it still feels tight/painful
Seconded. Belly slid on my coming off my Endeavor Pro and those things took the slide like downhill pucks. I don't ride without them!
I’m glad he’s okay. Definitely listen to the beeps next time. Perhaps only try full sending on full charge (for the 50E), or consider the molicel variant if you really want speed demon all the time. These batteries sag more the lower you are in the pack
I noticed the V12 limits your acceleration after 50% battery
All batteries do. That is physics.
OOOOUCH‼️ Brother my goodness you weren't kidding when you told me you took a good spill. For sure I'm glad they were minor injuries considering you took a good one. BTW this is THE BEST channel about PEVs 💯‼️
Wow. You dudes rock! Awesome vid. Thank god no one got hurt! Very blessed indeed 💪🏼👍🏻
Blessed.....then why did he fall.your logic fails.
Looks like a circular roll cage could be an innovative addition to the overall design!
lol, your comment hasn't got the appreciation that it deserves. I like it though!
Yup, then add 3 more wheels.
Glad you're ok! Once your adrenaline settles down you're gonna be sore lol Safety gear works! Holy sh!t it's still rideable lol
Not sure what surprised us more... Andrew walking away from that crash or the Master still operational after getting wrecked!
Daaaangg Andrew. Glad you’re alive!
I am happy andrew is ok that crash looked bad, glad he was able to walk afterwards. And I Wish you a speedy recovery we need the scooter guru I picked up a wolf king gt pro because of andrew rest up and recover.
I've always felt that EUCs are not for the speed demons for only ONE REASON: the way EUC cuts off when it can't handle the speed. I get it; that's the only way EUCs can react because braking is electronic only and not with brake discs and rotors like scooters and bikes. But I'm hoping in the future that one of these EUC companies will engineer a better way to handle over-speeding, like auto slow down or reversal of speed instead abrupt stop. Anyway, I hope Andrew is okay now.
That was a scary crash, glad he is ok, he rolled like a motogp rider, one knows how to take a fall. btw he needs a raise. :)
Gear is so important. Glad that Andrew is fine . Thank you
Wow, what a tumble! Thank God that Andrew seems to be OK and hope he heals up quick!
God,....made,him fall. Remember this is all your gods creation.
A couple of real geniuses. Harvard really missed out.
I agree!
Full finger gloves’ all the crash’s Iv had on a EUC your fingers all ways get cut up
Very true. We need to upgrade the gear. For filming though, it's so nice to have those digits to get your camera gear rolling.
40-45 MPH crash on one of those?? Thats terrifying, glad you are ok!
WELL THAT WAS AN EPIC CRASH! THANK GOD FOR YOUR SAFETY GEAR I WAS RIDING A HILLAND CUSTOM-MADE ELECTRIC MOUNTAIN BIKE NO SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO I BIT IT BAD. THE BIKE NO LONGER WORKS MY PINKY BROKE OFF TOTAL COMPOUND FRACTURE AND SOMEHOW IT ENDED UP STICKING THROUGH THE PALM OF MY HAND. AND I'M A MUSICIAN SO IT'S EFFED ME UP FOR GOOD LONG TIME
I, personally, don't see the appeal of going car speeds in a completely unprotected context. 40-45mph wipeouts, even with a ton of gear, have the potential to permanently disable or kill and that doesn't seem like it's worth the risk for a little fun ride.
To each their own, of course, but having taken a spill -- with gear -- from my OW at 14MPH and still feeling the occasional tightness/soreness in the elbow I sprained a year ago is enough warning for me to stay far away from anything like this!
That almost deserves a Darwin Award!
Wow, glad you are ok and recovering. Take it easy.
Andrew, Just WOW! So super glad you're ok. Wish you were wearing hip guards. I wear them every time I ride. Been thru so many bike wrecks and my hips have taking a killing. Get better brother!
I was wearing hip guards with Kevlar lined pants from lazyrolling. The issue was my jacket rolled up on the crash.
Thanks for the well wishes!
Nice jump n roll dude! I like your style and ballsy review. 5 starz FOR YOU, Andrew! ⭐🌟⭐🌟⭐
Glad he was able to walk away! On my first group ride last week I crashed going 20mph downhill and was also surprised I didn’t break any bones…pretty bad road rash on my behind but other than that the V11 had minor cosmetic damage. Good gear is so important!
I’ve been back and forth on the lazyrolling… this seals the deal for me
It is strange that so many riders rely on the beeps or even ride the beeps. Personally EUC world should be connected to your wheel and audio alerts over Bluetooth earphones and vibration alert set to on. Yes they were swapping the wheel but you should always connect. It is also vital your phone is strapped to your arm as you feel the alert before you hear the alert. EUC world is voltage based now so tilt back should be set accordingly. The rider had no motorbike boots on, and got very lucky because during the cutout you see the left foot touch down, this could have been a break. People praise lazy rolling and that's fine but.... your jacket should be zipped into your pants, this stops that jacket exposing skin during a crash. Lastly if you are going to push it consider a neck brace, tumbling is the worst thing to happen during a crash. Thankyou for posting this it really bring home safety, and I have watched this video many times to drive the point home.
It’s good that everything worked out without serious injuries, but if so, I can say that you had a great test drive
So glad your ok, that was a nasty fall at speed. Heal up and keep up the great work. AGATT is how I ride.
Hey Andrew, I'm so glad that you weren't severely injured 🙏🏾🤲🏾💯How are you feeling brother?
That was a scary spill, definitely glad you had full PPE ...
Heal up/ speedy recovery my brother 🙏🏾
Great unboxing vid & Review ride X the fall.
Peace and blessings brother's 👊🏾💯
Brother, You are so Blessed and I'm sincerely glad you weren't severely injured - But there's something I have to share and THANK YOU for... Last week I was riding my Thunder II at very low speed and safely passing nice and easy, stop and go traffic - was just passing the front of a van when he instantly turned right into me, I literally had no time to react and remember thinking "this guys gonna bounce me". Then impact - which sort of torque threw me off (I'm about 265 and 6'2") was surprisingly heavy for such a low speed (5 mph maybe). Long story short, apart from a strained wrist and slight bruise, I was ok and walked away with my scooter rock solid. Thing is - I'd watched this video before I bought my scooter and gear and you'd inspired me to get as much protective equipment as possible. I watched a similar video where an EUC rider fell and got a nasty "raspberry" on his side as well. I wear a full face helmet as you do and glad I did or else I'd have literally taken the whole force of the impact on my chin - the helmet got a bit of a scratch and lost it's rubber lip but I was good. I wore gloves, knee and elbow guards and just recently bought a heavy duty full chest/back/tail/ribcage vest and a padded snowboard under shorts (saved my hip and thing). I have to comment that I see a lot of videos of folks busting red lights and all I can say is that I wish them the best - There is a LOT of physics going on in an impact and bones and soft tissue don't win against steel, no matter how much gear you wear (internals can shift so hard that they tear away). Thanks so much for all your great videos - Your fall prevented me from severe injury. I continue to enjoy riding! Bless you guys & your families, Ride well, Ride Safe. PS. The driver was clueless as to why he turned into me - Go figure???
Glad you are alright. There are a lot of mindless drivers nowadays. I ride and assume no one sees me. I am happy we inspired you to wear safety gear. You never know when an accident will happen and safety gear will help out tremendously.
@@Andrew-vt4jt Thanks so much my friend. Keep the awesome videos coming and we'll all keep enjoying our rides 👍🏻
If you pick up the video at the 12:04 mark you see around 12:05-12:06 a piece of the EUC get launched into the air, at first I thought it was a bird, then I saw the replay again and realized it was a piece off from the EUC, I'm gonna take a wild guess and assume you guys didn't find that piece.
And big props to you guys for doing this type of testing where you did, if this was done in an urban or suburb environment, an 80lbs projectile traveling at 40mph could have done some serious damage to some private property.
wow I can't believe how well Andrew took that spill ! Good lesson it's worth it to get geared-up for safety.
Thank you, guys for the great video!
Andrew, get well soon!
Sounds like Master did not tilt you back, was just beeping. Too bad if this feature is missing.
I didn't see any dip forward either. More of a wobble and lost of control. is it just me...
Guys, you were so lucky that bloody wheel didn't caught fire. Considering the amount of dry vegetation in the area. Take care, I wish you a fast recovery.
Glad you were alright brudda. I don't ride beeps for this reason. Someone on euc discord is working on dynamic pwm based pushback
Thanks for the well wishes. I won't ride the beeps anymore. Pushback would have been nice but I should have respected the beeps.
Sooooo glad you were wearing safety gear! Holy crap! Thank goodness that Predator helmet stayed strong!!!
Glad you're OK man! 👍
Glad Andrew walked away with only minor injuries. Although that road rash made me shiver - I hate road rash.
Just looking at the helmet, if Andrew hadn't been wearing one, he could have suffered some major head injuries. What a great testament to safety gear!!
Dude! That's insane, glad you're ok
Glad you are safe , wow crazy footage.
Atgatt definitely pays off.
Glad you.survived without too much damage to yourself.
The big thing that scares me with this tech is that failure will result in bad crash every time and it will be instant.
Goes without saying if I do get one I will not ignore the beeps !
Glad you were able to walk away but still one hell of a burn. Get well soon!
That’s a really rough lesson learned. Glad that you’re ok!
I’m not gonna lie, I’ll never ignore the beeps!
Great video! Glad you're ok. One different question to others, I have noticed before the crash during your riding down the stairs not one time the handle popped up like in your previous video. Have you changed anything?
Very Very Happy For You Brother this is a strong warning to listen and y'all have taught us better than anyone on here next to Ginger on Wheels full gloves damnit full everything and slow down on the beeping, But Most Of All Please Please Wear A Helmet Everyone.
good video jimmy, hope andrew going to be fine after the adrenaline subsides. from quick ride i had on two masters before i had to send them out, i think it’s a fast, nimble wheel but the core component of a suspension wheel, the suspension, is sub par😁. and it’s a fragile wheel 🤷♂️. good job
I was introduced to a Onewheel XR by a friend I was visiting. A friend who would later buy a Sherman Veteran. He drifted off the road on his Sherman and hit a telephone pole at 25mph. With all of the gear he had, he came out with no injuries.
Now I have a story of my own with the XR. A story of flying too close to the sun.
When I first tried the one wheel, I wasn't able to balance for more than a few feet on that thing. It took me a few days before I could actually go anywhere more than 15 feet with it, but then I started to get into the groove of it.
Before ya know it, I was regularly riding around town at a moderate pace. Occasionally, I would turn it up a notch and go around 15mph. After a few weeks, my buddy suggested that I try to get to a high speed and learn pushback at some point.
One day, I decided to go out to a school parking lot nearby and try it. I always wore a helmet, but I didn't always wear the other gear. Before I went out, he suggested that I wear the wrist, elbow and knee guards. I told him that I would be fine.
I rode around the parking lot, cruising around 15 for a while while listening to some music. I crept up to pushback a few times, but I had some doubt that I was actually feeling the pushback. So, after a minute, I leaned into it and the board nosedived. I didn't tumble or go flying. I dived and slid for enough time to realize that I was sliding. It was surreal. I couldn't believe how far I was sliding. I knew I was down bad.
When I got up, I looked at my knuckles on my left hand. I had a few layers torn up. I looked down on my right to see a huge road rash like the one in this video on my side, hip and thigh. Then I looked up to my elbow, woah. Part of my elbow was worn down to flesh. It didn't actually hurt that bad, so I rode home and went to clean up. That was the hardest part, getting a shower. From shoulders to ankles, that water stung like a bee. But I'll never forget that feeling of sliding so helplessly on the asphalt. Some people might say these machines are dangerous, but I think it is the rider who is dangerous. YOU are the human that is responsible for operating this technology! Think about what you value and what you are responsible for, before you use your tools. ;-)
Thanks for sharing your experience. Hope you healed up okay.
@@freshlycharged Thank you! I healed up with ease, though I have some ugly scars.
I was kinda anxious as looking at the crash and then “Where’d the wheel go?” really got the humour 😂😂 😂😂
That was a huge hit Andrew took. It goes to show that even the best can become complacent and that listening to the machines is key so staying upright. With the right safety gear though if the worst does happen you can still be safe.
I’d love to see a follow up video of how Andrew recovered and the damage report on the begode
Andrew recovered smoothly. Just some bruises and abrasions. The Master was totaled and sent back to Ewheels to salvage parts.
@@freshlycharged glad Andrew is ok. I was talking about that crash today on my groups ride day. I took my euc to get some video for my channel.
Happy you didn't get super hurt so we can all see how important safety gear is. I know I needed safety gear while learning the basics but you should always wear safety gear while riding an electric unicycle. It is super fun but has little to protect it's rider.
I’m glad things are going well, Andrew, even though I imagine it would still sting the next day. Good lesson! Protect yourself well and calm down to stay whole. A EUC will always remain a EUC, even if it is the best. God save the wheelers!
