Tell me your weirdest Onewheel memory! Iâll go first.
Iâve gone trail riding completely naked under the full moon. đ đ
My weirdest Onewheel memory was seeing this weird naked guy riding his Onewheel under the full moon
Iâm waiting for the Nonewheel to drop⊠then Iâm sailing across seas đ
As Peter would say: âClassic Jesseâ
Iâve been wanting to do that since the V1!!! đ
I have only one memory. Some stranger was onewheeling past me as I was biking and I shouted, âcool onewheel!â He replied, âthanks! Wanna try it?â
I donât think Iâve ever spun around so quickly in my life. He let me ride it up and down the street for about 10 minutes.
Iâm now looking to get one but canât decide between the pint x and the gt. What do you like so much about the xr over the pint x? And would you opt for a gt over a pint x for your first board? Is that board size more comfortable to ride?
They can avoid the liability of injury easily due to modding. What they might have trouble with, is curbing the negative image associated due to injury. What FM should do, is focus away from C&D on 3rd party, embrace them, and then go after litigation thatâs slowly creeping in to ban these on trails. Focus on educating and promoting them positively for the trail riders.
Too late, they decided to go with the extra strong pushback instead.
@@HuyTran-sk3py I canât wait to try the GT and hope our speculation is wrong! I own both pint and XR and I agree, the pint pushback is horrendous.
Future motion is asking for a lot of hassle if they make new boards un-repairable outside of their hands. Speaking from inside the PEV community, its best to let the people do what they do best, fix. From there you can progress your innovation tremendously quicker. Future motion has acted very Apple for years now and it has left a stain on their rep. A lot of this has to be the fact that they are not a Chinese company and have to deal with liability issues.
Also, nice Eevee's shirt with the V12. They sent me a V12 to show Toronto this past summer. I'll DM you when the crew is headed your way this coming summer đ€đ»
Good to know that the GT has a non standard tire. I live in hawaii, and shipping my XR one wheel is probably like $300 there, and $300 backâŠ. So thatâs a phat âno goâ for me đ€Ł right to repair 100% đđœ
Yah thatâs ridiculous! Same for shipping from Toronto. Seems absolutely bizarre to me a consumable item like a tire isnât user replaceable.
Hopefully third-party vendors are able to come out with tires soon but that could take awhile it's a no-go for me as well based on that as well
I think for the vast majority the tire won't be an issue. By the time it needs replacing 3rd party tires will be available.
There are already 3rd party tires for the GT in the works.
#R2R
The vast majority of litigation against FM (including the massive class action) is not at all related to 3rd party modified boards. It is brand new folks who get a Onewheel thinking it's a fun toy that anyone can ride out of the box and not a legit boardsport. They don't read the manual, ignore safety warnings, go 20+mph, skip their skull off the ground, and get seriously injured and/or die.
Oh you are definitely right about that! (apologies for not making that more clear). I feel terrible for those families but from what I've read about the situations I really don't think FM is at fault and I don't imagine they will lose the lawsuits. In general I hate how obsessed with lawsuits the culture in the US seems to be, and thats both coming from FM and towards FM.
I just hope so bad that they don't go the way of Boosted, but if lawsuits keep getting thrown at them for injuries I'm afraid that will happen.
@@JesseDriftwood 100% agreed. All we want is for FM to be successful and embrace the community that helped with that success.
Douche bags don't understand personal liability.
@@TheFloatLife I used to carry their business cards in my wallet and pass them around to people who showed interest in my board and tried it out. OneWheel needs to embrace their community because we are there for them. I feel like they have gotten a bit of a big head in the last year or so.
I literally could not agree more about the XR. I have the original pint, put 800ish miles on it and was in a position to buy an XR. I still own both. 56 years old and I cannot imagine needing to "upgrade" to a gt or pintx. Long live my vintage onewheels!
So good from beginning to end. Love how your pieces just feel complete. Great story telling as alwaysâšđ
I felt this video so much. Best invention of all time. My XR has brought me sooo much joy. Thanks for telling it how it is Jesse!
The green screen back pack is epic.
I want a green screen like that now and am already in the shed looking for materials!
âYou are my heroâđđ you have the best sponsorship segments Jesse. I love canva, and YOU
Really loving your content lately. I have never used a Onewheel and never intend to (way too accident prone), but this video was still incredibly enjoyable. Cool!
Thanks!!
love my XR as well. I got infected at Peters and Mattis videos and I agree... Thats the best purchase since I bought my first drone back in 2015. Damn, that last shot wasn't necessary :D haha
I agree 100%. The XR is the most customizable onewheel money can buy and probably will be for some years. Well.. Until 3rd party companies can workaround it. But for now, everyone in GTs will have the latest tech.. But they'll all look the same. Infact, from the non riders, they can hardly tell the difference between pint, pint x and gt. Their form factor does appear similar unless you get the treaded wheel with the carbon fender to get that ultimate sleek tesla futuristic onewheel look for the gt. But outside that... The XR will be king in terms of overall usage. I can't see myself hitting tricks with the GT. I feel it's gonna be too heavy, pretty, too many things that could go wrong and not to mention that firmware in it to prevent modding... Lol. I respect what future motion is doing but people will always find a workaround. It's just a matter of time. But until then folks, GET UP IN DAT XR! It will never die. It's like that old camero that people just keep cherishing, fixing and modding in the garage to make it their own.. It'll never die. It's too revolutionary. From what I know... The XR with the right firmware (4209) is still the best onewheel because you can turn it into something greater than the GT.... You can get more range and about equal in torque with the tire change and bumper change to lessen weight.. I hope future motion really has something special in store for us that they haven't talked about in that gt. Only time will tell. But if you're on the fence for an XR... Get it if you can. You won't regret it, it's far from obsolete. Great video as usual!
Comment didnât age well đ
comment aged like wine FloatWheel is soo good for the industry
Excellent video as always! You've got me reminiscing about my XR like someone took it away, when really it's just downstairs as ready to go as always.
The very best YT I have watched in 2021, old enough and should probably stick with 4 wheels but inspired by you every vid đ
I feel like we both share the same view of the XR.
Iâve ridden on beaches in the rain. Iâve taken my board on hiking trails and lost it over a cliff side. Itâs taken me to surf spots nobody else would spend time getting to. Itâs helped me get to the front of a line of a traffic and help clear an accident off the road that nobody else was helping with (not even police). I can carry my dog on it. I can carry a surfboard or hydrofoil with a free hand to drink or do anything with. I shop with it daily. I let kids try it. I let elderly people try it. I commute to work on it.
Everybody just loves this thing. Itâs opened up a part of the world that walking/running/skating just canât and slows things down enough that you just canât in a car.
The GT is cool. But itâs very expensive. And if I need to go 30 miles, Iâd get a bike or car. 20 miles is already plenty.
And yes a Pint X is $400 cheaper than a XR. And guess whatâs $400 more than an XR? A GT. Theyâre smart to do this. As for suing companies for modding, just let them. Theyâre gonna do it regardless. If your product needs modifications to make someone happy, let them. If your product is perfect and doesnât needs mods, cool.
But even the âperfectâ product will get modified. So just let it be.
Yes dude! Exact same page, word for word.
Stoked to see Christoph again! I just like knowing your gang is out east making different stuff happen and helpin each other out when it needed.
If you cannot repair these things yourself they should at least expand with repair centres around the world.
Thats what I would love to see! Licensed repair centres.
đŻ it's like a no brainer
Thank you for making me feel even better about buying my xr in 2019. 2380 miles on the board since!
Sometimes I"m like... "Why does this filmmaker with a channel about making videos make videos about 1 wheels?" Then I scroll down and find no affiliate links for it. Maybe he just... likes them? Anyways, despite not being interested in 1 wheels I still watch them because you've got great style and you're a blast to watch. Thanks for the great videos no matter what you're making them about.
bc ppl shoot on one wheels rather than wasting thousands on dolly carts and save their budget. maybe learn how to ride one if you're so into filmmaking cuz tbh idk how anyone would get these long ass tracking shot one takes like i do without them.
@@SHVWNCOOPER Hey Shawn, thanks for the reply, I hadn't thought of that. Makes a lot of sense, I've used office chairs and skateboards and bicycles and everything else to get those sorts of shots... Anyways, I didn't mean to be negative, it was more pleasant surprise because so many videos's content on youtube seem driven by something they're trying to sell in the affiliate links below (which is also fair enough, if they're taking the time to make free content for the internet, power to them if they're able to make a living from it). So to see Jesse just talking about one wheels because he's passionate about them is cool. Thanks for the reply.- Eric
â@@EricBates i will say this with bias bc i hate CZcamsrs like jess'es friend peter - always advertising something we don't need, to ppl that can't afford it, from someone who didn't spend shit on it - that's telling you you need to use it from a "filmmakers" pov who aren't even really shooting or editing their own work. i kinda trust jesse's ingenuity. from a onewheel perspective - its def dangerous, however, it's priceless for what you can shoot with it. you can use skateboards, but then you're going to get a bounce in your shot. you can use a boosted board, but then you're not going to hop the curb on it and continue tracking your shot. i had to get one and learn how to ride and shoot on it in less than a week but i made an obstacle course on my roof and youtubed it. it's possible. overpriced, yes. i'd get one used IMO. but i'd def invest in one again.
Honestly one of the hardest parts about making a living on CZcams (for me personally anyway!) is trying to do it in a way that isn't just telling people to buy shit they don't need. Particularly when I have a constant stream of companies sending me offers to promote products and it would be so much easier to just say yes and pretend it doesn't hurt anyone, but I can't do that! I won't pretend to be perfect in this area, and I'll still need to promote some products and services from time to time to pay the bills, but I hope that in general the tone of my channel never becomes "you need more more more".
@@JesseDriftwood I can imagine. Thanks for the personalized response, and all the great videos. Hope you find a balance between your integrity and paying the bills that you're comfortable with, I imagine it's a constant battle. Keep it up!
looking forward to your euc vid. wish you could try one with suspension, it was sorta game changer for me
I hope I get to at some point! Maybe a v13 will be the best of both worlds between the v11 and v12! Now that winter is here in Canada I donât think Iâll get to do much PEV testing unfortunately, unless itâs a sweet fat bike or something.
@@JesseDriftwood some say the "V13" will likely be a bigger wheel & targeted to the hi speed enthusiasts. the V12 seems to be the best all around EUC to date & many of us would Love it to have suspension to make it the Ultimate 16" wheeled EUC
@@JesseDriftwood There are some EUC with offroad tires that are good for winter riding and some people do ride them year-round, like Veteran Sherman EUC has great water resistance and a knobby tire. Personally getting my ks 16x tire studded for the winter though.
Wow your production and editing is absolutely first class
Really awesome video! Enjoyed itđđŒ
Thanks for being so damn nice. That's a really big deal. Love your videos!
So feeling you on this one! Great vid mate. đ€
I have a Pint X arriving today, I am SO excited! All because of your vids :)
Great video for those considering waiting for the GT to arrive in Australia "early to mid 2022" or grabbing the last of the XR's in stock. Thanks Jesse!
this is an awesome video. I bought an og pint a while ago and been holding off for a gt. but I ended up just buying an XR last week. I love it so far and I love the versatility. couldn't agree with you more, long live the XR!!
Woah! You're getting great at that V12 rather quickly! I'm glad you're getting good at it before doing a full review. Also, glad that sweater fits đ. Looking good Jesse!
Also, thanks for speaking about right to repair. Cheers!
I want to make sure I have an actual informed opinion that isn't just "wow this is hard, one wheels are the best!!!" lol
@@JesseDriftwood I think thatâs what most people come from Onewheeling originally think. I almost gave up my first week haha. I canât wait to see the full review.
"I wanna get good on that thing before I say One Wheel or another." Makes sense! Great vid, man! Thanks!
Jesse is the most underrated CZcams Filmmaker.
I'm *sooo GLAD* i ordered mine 3 days ago !
I've been wanting an XR for ages and learning that they're now getting discontinued makes me super grateful that i didn't miss out !
#BLESSED
Still buying my first XR in 2023, super hyped, my pint is the most enjoyable thing Iâve ever owned.
Keep up the great vids Jesse. Here a question, Where do you recommend I buy a used XR? ( if you can since they've been discontinued)đ„
You along with Pete, Matti, and Levi are the reason I bought my XR and I couldnât agree more with everything you said in this video! Did you badger your board? Or have you just been sending it through the water as is? Haha. Love the video bro.
Big thanks for bringing more light to this #RightToRepair issue, and at least getting the conversation started!
I love your videos!!! I am saving for a pint x because the XR is not here anymoređ and the gt is way to expensive. keep making onewheel videos!!!
I appreciate the reminder that I paid for Canva Pro for a reason and I need to use it more and for the lack of shoes in this video (not in a weird foot-thing kind of way...maybe should have left the last part out)
I LOVE riding my Onewheel in sandals. Although I can't say I ride often straight barefoot. Still get nervous though cause dropping in sandals is not ideal.
Jesseâ€ïž hope youâre going to have a wonderful holiday
Honestly, the number one thing keeping me away from getting a one wheel is just how anti right to repair future motion is.
Buy a used XR and mod it. That way none of the money goes to FM
As always, amazing intro!
Great as always
Iâm coming up on 3,000 miles on my XR+ and still love it. Longer range and trail riding is definitely something I throughly enjoy and the 30+ miles with the CBXR battery and The extra 25 miles with a VNR Greenworks battery allows me to go all day! Its a blast! Canât beat the miles of smiles of fun!
I feel like when the battery in this board dies I'll probably go the CBXR route, but honestly I'll want someone who's done it a few times to either walk me through, or do it for me.
Hahaha love this! Your the best Jesse, just got a used XR and I love it, donât care about the new models
Good choice!
The XR looked really fun and I thought "ya, I can do that!" so my husband talked me into one (because I hemmed and hawed about it). We got one about a month before the new one was announced, he's bitter about it because he really researched it and they said in all the videos he could find that it was "it" and no others were coming out. Well, I blew my knee out on the first weekend and it's his now. Oh well, you guys make it look so easy. BTW, my knee had a torn ACL from a long time ago so I don't know what I was thinking. LOL
I actually bought the XR during black Friday sale at the lower $1499 price. I still think it's better than the pint x. Sorry if that's not popular opinion đ
Little do you know that was your husband's plan all along. Haha but in all seriousness I am super sorry to hear that you injured yourself. I always love to show strangers the board and let them ride it if they take interest. But I am always worried somebody is going to get hurt! If you can, don't give up on it! I know it's hard with an injury, but once you get the hang of it and as long as you respect it, they really are quite safe (assuming there isn't some super random failure or something). Anyway, hope you are feeling better and hopefully at least your husband is getting some shredding on it.
Love your channel! I've been riding a Pint for a month, already modded it with a GT40mod, range is excellent, about 28 km in 12 C°.... but I bought a low milage XR today... I don't have much money to spend or something, I wanted to buy an other car (less old :D ), but whatever. You live once, OneWheel is more exciting than an other car. :D Hell yeah! :D
This is the same as a car, everyone has the right to mod it and they're liable for things breaking or causing accidents. And insurance (in this case warranty) won't cover it if it's been opened. All future motion has to do is what every other manufacturer does, put a void sticker on a bolt and state warranty mileage, 2000 maybe? When the tire needs to be replaced.. or more if they're willing to work with shops that sell their board to offer a certified tire service
I have zero experience with onewheel, although they do look very fun. But I'm here to say out loud, "Love the intro, Jesse!"
I'm so glad I got my xr on sale a week ago the gt looks cool but I want to be able to customize my board and I love that xr look.
Me too!!!
I would be so scared to do all the jumps and even off road rides on this thing. But you made it look so tempting.
another awesome video, a peek into jessies brain.
Dude you are awesome. Love you vib/ flow lol
I'll ride my XRs till I run out of parts to swap out. The growler set up is still my favorite trick board configuration, and WTF rails for trails. It would be interesting to see the aftermarket innovations to come out for the GT, but that would take a while to mature.
Funny story: I've been watching you for a while and on the verge of getting a OneWheel. Two months ago I had some extra cash and decided to go for it and bought an XR+, love it, but now I am kicking my ass for not having waited just a bit longer and buying the GT. Oh well.... I still love the XR!
The GT is overhyped in my view. XR is built better and more customizable
I JUST went and bought a new XR over a GT today. So don't feel bad. I think you lucked out. The GT honestly seems like a complete mess and this is coming from somebody who owns two OneWheels and they are my favorite things I've ever spent money on besides my Bed.
I got my XR in late winter 2021. When the new line up was announced, at first I was feeling buyers remorse for not waiting, since everyone online was saying don't wait. Then people got their hands on the boards and the GT was not having a good launch but the Pint X was pretty solid. The more I learned about Onewheels and the community in general, I realized the XR was probably the best choice I could have made, especially since you cannot buy a new one from FM anymore. The aftermarket care the XR had and will continue to have is the biggest reason I'm glad though, especially with VESC now becoming the next thing. The XR will continue to be a great platform for a long time!
I think you made a great decision! Iâve only just started testing out the GT (and having a blast doing it) but I still think the XR is the right board for most people.
I have never ridden a Onewheel XR, but I have a GT and and a Pint. I really want to ride the XR on day.
Is there a diffrent buying a new xr vs a old one?
I Mean in build... Are they are just the same as one from 3 years old?
Beceaus I am gonne order one for sure! But I can buy also one from 2 years old with 115km on it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Super dope video! This gonne be my 1st board but I am super stoked for the xr!
Jesse at 2:50 ish when you mention riding in the rain, did you ever waterproof your board or was that stock?
Great Video! Props to the XR, couldnât agree more.
Why are we putting products inside the tire ??
picked up a px myself just cause I love the playfulness of it however I could see myself getting a used XR and tricking it out for winter riding.
I completely agree Jesse
i don't have one yet but its 2024 and i have ben looking for a while and a dude let me ride his xr and gt and i noticed the sensory issue once i tried to activate it
Epic one jesse, love from keralaâ„ïž
been wanting one of these for a while
the Onewheel XR platform at this point probably wont die even if they discontinue it. Ive been in the RC hobby for years and even legendary RCs like the HPI Baja "which is a 5th scale and is considered a niche RC in a niche hobby" have STRONG aftermarket support because 1. Allot of people owned it and needed to eventually repair it and 2. pushing the boundaries.
I really dig the color of those rail guards. All I can find is fluorescent yellow guards, but that doesn't sound like the right color to me. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Just bought a XR as an upgrade for my Pint. I like the upgradability.
Great video!
Hey when r u doing the gt review?
The intro was sick as hell. How many tries did that take?
Ah yes, the old âtopic is now outdatedâ thing in the middle of an edit⊠Painful! Good video mate, and I agree!
Youâre a cool dude. Thanks for sharing! đ
Jesse! Do you feel as though the new xr sensor is harder to activate than the old one?
Hmmm I havenât noticed that off hand.
do you know what really sucks im 12 and i just got my first onewheel a couple days ago and then they say its discontinued like i mean i already got really comfortable on it and its my favorite onewheel board and when it breaks i cant fix it and then i cant get my onewheel that really sucks im really sad about this
life is to short to be sad with 12 years
*Also team "Right to repair"* đ€đŒ
The chaotic neutral of Jesse Driftwood is oddly satisfying to me.
random but where'd you get your helmet? love it đ
I actually forget! This thing is super old now, in fact I probably should have replaced it a very long time ago.
im definatly getting one in a couple years. i put 2k on my xr. miss it so much.
Awesome video I wish I had a one wheel!đȘ
That yellow onewheel looks awesome.
âLife is too short to be a d!ck to strangersâ Well said Jesse and awesome video. Damn I want one of these.
Haha yes! It looks like it belongs on a construction site and I love it.
Hey Jesse, thanks for being you.
No, thank YOU!
Damn... That was a solid add in the middle.... sold =D lol
I wanna see you ride the GT đ„ș especially the edits no doubt it'll look even more better. Haist Feb 7 yet?
The GT is more of a finished product and it looks great. I have to say I love the âgarage builtâ look. I say the GT will do great in extreme terrains but then again itâs a bulky heavier board.
I couldn't agree more. My XR is the greatest toy I have. I ride every single day and cant get enough of it
I believe in #righttorepair. I own a xr and ordered the GT. I truly hope it's not so locked down we can fix them ourselves
same
Love this Jesse. I have seen and ridden one wheels previously but havebt been a fan., And you should make something artistically experimental.
I have 5500 miles on my XR. I absolutely love it. I got it when I was 48 I am now 52 do not get one of these. If you did not spend your youth like I did skateboarding and surfing, itâs not a matter of if youâre gonna fall is when youâre gonna fallâŠ. To me I jump right back up and keep going. Itâs a good life lesson in general to me is the best therapy in the world. Why are you ask if you want to be safe it requires your undivided attention you start to daydream it will bite you, so why ride my Onewheel for safety reasons lol the world goes away and I concentrate on what Iâm doing with that being said this right to modify or write to fix to me is very simple just my opinion my two cents if you decide to take some thing that is incredibly dangerous and you choose to modify it in any way, shape or form you should be able to do so, but I would like to see laws implemented across the board that if you loosen one screw if you touch one wire future motion is not legally responsible for anything this way, the MacGyver us can do their thing and the rest of us can keep enjoying future products by future motion, not having to go out of business, because of people that somehow coordinate that writing something dangerous that they choose to do themselves somehow makes future motion responsible that just does not make sense in my world . Use your safety gearâŠ. Keep your head on a swivelâŠ.. my stepfather taught me a great lesson when I started driving, he saidâ you do not look any better in a coffin if you had the right of wayâ đŻđâđŒđ
Yo the used market for the one wheel pint will be ham Iâll prolly cop one for the buds
I wish you post more, but at the same time it would be a problem for me! everytime you post a video i HAVE to stop doing everything and watch it right away. Congrats mate!
I wish I did too! Let's see if I can get it up to 2 videos a month next year lol.
@@JesseDriftwood that would be awesome! We need more Jesse in our lives!
I love the GT's range and speed but the steps that future motion is taking to make it harder for people to fix/repair their boards just so you have to over pay them for something you've already spent over ÂŁ1k (or dollars) on is just insane to me, that's why I'm staying with my XR. (I know a lot of people will disagree but I like the squared off tire, I feel more stable)
Iâm on the same boat.
@@shitalchaudhary5972 Yeah I'm keeping mine. Just because the GT came out doesn't make the XR obsolete.
i just bought a new XR! and i love it!
Well said, The one thing I would like to see is a competitive product. Maybe a Tesla onewheel, or an Apple onewheel, Segway onewheel. This I believe would keep prices out of low earth orbit. Also if future motion would make the XR or GT in business friendly states (Texas or Florida) they could cut the price in half. As it is the onewheel is a rich boys toy or old (with money) like me.
Watching this video and not having a one wheel. Tear. đąđąđą
Bro you made me want a onewheel again. I switched to a EUC and I love it too. Haha
lol! Who knows maybe I'll get obsessed with EUC someday, I'm getting more comfortable on mine everyday but I'm still no where near the level of comfort I am on a OW.
@@JesseDriftwood it does take a bit and it is a different ride feel. Both have their place but for me I really enjoy the diversity in ride options.
would you recommend a onewheel to someone who has never ridden a skateboard proir to trying it?
Absolutely! But I think the best option is to try one out for a while first, and hopefully have someone who knows how to ride teach you a little bit.
I would. it's how I fell in love w/my Pint
Have you ever ridden an electric unicycle? We would love to get you on one and see what you think of it compared to a OneWheel!
Cool! âïž
The thing with RTR is, the manufacturer can literally take steps to make repairs easier and safer. Yes, the users can still screw up, but the amount of dumb people who will literally be careless about fixing a PEV, is very low.
Companies should stop being anti RTR. If they don't want to accommodate RTR at least they should not go out of their way to stop people from doing so
Exactly! Repair can be made extremely simple and safe. Itâs one of the reasons I love the little motorcycle that I daily.. itâs about as mechanically simple as a vehicle can be and most arenât much more complicated. I, with many others have always done my own maintenance on my bikes and never had any safety issues. People understand the importance of doing the job properly and will generally find someone who can if they arenât comfortable with it.
Except for mounting tires.. screw that lol. Iâll swap out wheels but Iâm bringing it to a shop for the actual mounting.
