20:56
1. Wasn’t wearing helmet
2. Battery read 40% but was really closer to 20%
3. Dust obscured my vision, should have slowed down or followed their lines
4. Two perfectly placed small rocks caused a nosedive
5. Heavy backpack prevented runout and brought me down hard, size of backpack prevented rolling
I’m totally okay. My hands and shoulder took the brunt of it. It looks like I hit my head super hard but I just barely grazed my cheek. I’ll be wearing a helmet now.
Glad you doin alright bro that looked rough
Glad your all good Jake keep up the Stoke!and I think I’m going to join the helmet club with you after seeing that
I'm glad ur alright brotha. 🤙
Looked gnarly, glad you're all good
really glad your ok jake, bet it was a combo of dust and not seeing that rock to be able to adjust for it. shit happens
I’m just gonna throw it out there.
Voltage is not a good range indicator in the bottom half of a battery due to voltage sag.
You have to read the voltage WHILE ripping around for a more accurate measure. When you stop, li-ion batteries recover a little and the voltage increases, giving you a false reading and hence the dead at “17%”. I bet the other CBXR was nearly dead too.
Also… not to be part of the helmet police but like… come on man…
Totally agree on both points! Chi chart seems several percent optimistic when stopped. I've had a couple surprises / walks with my Quart. And as someone who's cracked a helmet, I'm very grateful it was the helmet that cracked.
@@DoctorDugong21 same here with the quart. Also it’s better to exit diagnostic and tap it again for a fresh reading on volts and main temperatures
Anyone ever see Kyle Doerksen out floating as much as Jeff? This is why I am super proud to support TFL. Jeff is a true fan of his own products and is really just doing something he absolutely loves to do.
Thanks for the kind words my guy!
Man I was riding Onewheels thru Santa Cruz and kept thinking will we see FM or any of there ppl out riding in the city. But nah. You have a better chance of coming to sac and seeing TFL out spreading stoke
Props to Jake for shrugging off that nosedive! I wish FM would contract you boys out to help develop onewheels so they could deliver a board with full potential.
Let em’ know!
It's tough for manufacturers to work with aftermarket guys. The manufacturers take suggestions from consumers/buyers before aftermarket guys even though aftermarket guys are just as hands-on (and sometimes more hands-on) as consumers/buyers. It's probably got a lot to do with proprietary technologies in their products. Of course, Float Life isn't looking to steal technologies from Future Motion but I've found it to be a pretty standard thing with manufacturers.
Is that bail why I saw Jake wearing his helmet today?
Maybe a FM/FLOAT Edition!
FM doesn't seem to care what people outside their company think. Hopefully advancements in the DIY scene give people more board options that aren't at the whim of an single company's desire to lock down their product.
Great content, and Jake glad you're okay. It's sad to me that the XR has been discontinued and a lot of people are selling them. Based on The Float Life videos and others, it seems like the XR is still its own thing. The entire FM line is basically Pints now, with the GT being a beefed up Pint with some added nice-to-haves. The XR is a street trick machine, no tail drag, lower center of gravity, is faster than the GT, has better range with a CBXR, and in my unpopular opinion, looks better than the GT with installed accessories. If I had to make a choice it'd be the XR, just based on what I've seen so far.
💯
FM for ya. GT isn't for tricks or racing by the looks of. And the pint never was. It's like they don't know that they have customers
Omg it’s been literally out for a week. People think that the after market won’t adapt and make GT better? Were all of you the same when the plus became the XR… just reluctant to change I guess
@@WarmasterSidious do you have 100k to buy a tyre mould? Burris and Hoosier are adamant there isnt a market, as that 6.5 tyre isn't sold in any other markets. They sick of us asking them they told me
@@WarmasterSidious Relax. I said "based on what I've seen so far". Obviously time will tell and I've been a huge proponent that the aftermarket will catch up to the GT and produce great things like tires and accessories in the future. SO FAR, based on the size and performance, the GT looks like a fun desert shredder.
Glad I didn't wait for the GT. My XR is currently still the best purchase I ever made!
FM advertising says 20-32 miles for the GT, would say that the 23 miles you squeezed out of it was great! The most range I've ever gotten out of an XR was 12, so I think the GT did a great job.
12? Good lord I've got that out of my pint when it was fresh but to be fair I am skin and bones.
Yup!
I’ve only ever had 10 out of my XR, but I only ride trails. Cold weather it’s more like 7 - 8 miles.
Top tier content right here! Telling the community what they really need to know.
15:21 - Somebody’s been eating beans…
🍑💨
That’s called the turbo mode.
LOL
💀💀💀
Thank you guys for putting these great quality videos out there so quickly. They are scratching an itch (a bit) for sure. My favorite part is that you’re proving that the GT can take a beating… you’re definitely not holding back. It’s going to be my first; it’s the one I’ve been waiting for. Looking forward to it!!
Oh man, just wait until you see the trick video we just filmed. Bodhi basically threw the thing off a cliff ha ha
@@TheFloatLife Haha, looking forward to it!
Lmaooo @ 10:12
She was in the wrong 😂
Super sick shots in all of this! Both of you making evasive maneuvers with that board coming into view was dope
yeah those types of bikers are menace to OW society lmao
That's a stretch guys, no need to dramatize.
Bike was going straight and predictable when a trio hopped into the lane, crossed, and then curved back into the bike's way.
People will turn a blind eye to being a landscape menace, but it's objectively unprofessional to shout back at her and arguably is giving riders a bad image.
Call me a grouch but we gotta hold ourselves to some sort of standard.
@@APSupernary Agreed. I think both parties are in the wrong here. She was on the wrong side of the road and should have been over to the right. BUT she did stay on the same line the entire time and they hopped out in front of her. Fail on all parties
@@APSupernary the one guy apologized, but that chick was on the wrong side of the road. No apologies from her. She is a little in the wrong right? 😉
@@WaldenSpawn no. That wasn't a public street for her to be "wrong" on and regardless:
I already made my point about holding ourselves to a higher standard, so stop looking for reasons to be an immature rider.
That goes doubly for these guys who act as figures but behave like children consistently.
They even lashed out at this random lady, calling her a methhead in another comment.
I'm not going to sit here and oretent there's reasons why it's OK to menace others, as even trivial things will get our community looked down upon like the escooters in cities.
New rider with my BigRed GT - Feb 2023 UK - Just got 16 miles out of mine with the treaded tire and running on trails in the UK February cold weather and rain.
15 PSI for nice float and I’m 16 stone 😬. Still impressed considering my heavy body and the PSI.
I’m hoping in the summer I’ll get more out of my GT. 🤞🏻
These edits are dope AF keep em coming
You guys are so amazing. You make it look so easy and fun! Its hard to stop watching you guys! Love your videos!
Full send and gnarly clip, Jake! Glad y’all are made tough!
I do LSD. Long Slow Distance. Cruze about 12-14 mph on paved greenway. With my JWXR I can get about 32 miles. I'll test out my GT next week when it arrives for a comparison. It's no where near as exciting as watching you guys ride but it is peaceful and helps clear my head.
Vibes
My tange test i got 28.5 miles on my GT. Rode a total of 267 miles then had power on issues and had to send back the FM for repair.
10:05 I love that Jeff chirps back here haha, he’s in the right 😆 👊🏼
That lady was silly
So what’s the final range on GT / CB? Missing the punch line folks
Yes what was the range???
It was like 23-24ish?
20:56 Jake takes a nose dive and you guys just leave him in the dust. Poor Jake. Glad you are ok.
We were so clueless! Felt terrible afterwards
Incredible content, as always. Thanks for the inside scoop! 🤙
"show me on the doll where you got touched" 🤣
Been waiting for this comparison!
Great job y’all!
This video made me pull the trigger and order the CBXR battery. No need go for the GT.. I love the XR as it is.
I mean who doesn’t love watching you guys ride in Sactown. Honestly. Love the comparison since I just upgraded my battery in the XR. Damn Jake, that could have been worse. Glad you’re ok.
Damn leary went down hard, seemed to be in a daze. When this goes live prepare for the helmet brigade lol. Much appreciated video guys! Not surprised the GT lost, it's using more power and demanding more from the battery. If you got 20 miles out of it while crushing trails and curb nudging then I'll be more than satisfied with my GT haha.
Yup! I think that range is more than enough. My feet are dead ☠️
Was wondering why Leary had a helmet on in the video he posted in his channel. 😆
@@Andorski I noticed the same thing! Hahaha
When you ride an XR at relatively high speeds on a dusty, rocky road behind other people, you gotta admit that the helmet brigade have a pretty damn good point. That's just asking for a concussion, or worse.
@@Ty-ye8rd that’s what I’m thinking. While I know that future motion tries to prevent that kind of stuff from software, this is the very first GT software version. One of the most sought after XR models is the early ones because of how modable it is. I feel like they will crack the GT and this is just the beginning
Great content The Float Life!
Wait and a few months and you ll be taking apart the GT combining it with XR rails making it the Ultimate Board 🔥🔥
Few days more likely. Lol.
You should have ran the cbxr completely down. The other cbxr died when it had what was equivalent to 17% so maybe that cbxr would have died in like half a mile.
I don't trust my cbxr below 20 unless I want to walk it home. It hits 20%, I go straight home. I still get over 20 miles on 80%, which is fine.
Ooof! Dang Jake, that was brutal. Hope you're ok man.
Didn't expect Fury Road all of a sudden. Hope Leary is ok. He seemed out of it concussion style. Brain Buckets.
"Hey look, I'm Jake Leary!" :D
Yoooo!!! Elijah’s bail was epic!!! 👌🏼👍🏼😂😂
So good! He laced it right after, but apparently we don’t include makes around here ha ha
Honestly, I give props to the camera shots and how smooth the trails look! 👀 Man the weather must be nice down there all year!
Cali baby! ☀️
Another great video, thx. Are you using the OneWheel app on this ride for both boards? If so, you are still able to see voltage on the app when looking at the XR board? That's great if you are.
Yup
This video had me laughing with Karen on her bike, riding on the wrong side of the road started yelling at you guys. 🤣 Then it took a gnarly turn when Jake wrecked, unfortunately the only person wearing shorts and T. Glad your okay! Don't know how much of a range test video this is because of the different terrains and people with range anxiety probably aren't doing any other shenanigans. Still entertaining to watch!
Yeah this ain’t exactly a scientific study
Stoked to have my CBXR. Can't wait to get some WTF rails on her.
Coo coo cachoo. Chi still king. Elijah’s full send off that bank with the suspension was kiiler! We gotta get y’all some of these new cliffhangers. Look at his feet on the landing.
Love the content guys, and you make me nostalgic for Sacramento (and I never thought I would say that in a million years). In New England now though and seeing you guys ride in February in around the west side is making me jealous.
Get some TFL accessories for the GT ASAP so I can throw you some more $$$!
Come back for a visit and let’s shred!
these guys make this seem so effortless
Lots of hours
Ty brothers! Blessings 🙏🏻🐉📆🤙🏼
Thanks for your support!!!
I’m loving all this GT content
More on the way!
@@TheFloatLife 🔥🔥🔥
been refreshing my screen waiting for this to pop up since I watched Jakes video that mentioned this side by side.
🌕 Ur videos are getting good.I wear my helmet when I watch this one..you guys rock. I won’t even bother to rock today, I got my fix, I’m good! 🤙
aww y'all held hands at the end Awesome content as yuj
I'd love to see the XR take the same curb you went over at 5:23 . I think it would be a neat comparison. It'd also be interesting to see a raw acceleration test to see just how much better the GT handles from a dead stop. Thanks for the great content!!
I'm catching up, I thought they did a drag race and XR won no?
They did a drag race couple vids back if you wanna go check em out.
@@ynotsammy I must've missed that! Whoops. Thanks for the info:)
Damn jake I feel you, get better soon if you got hurt but you seemed big chillin
Glad you're ok Jake. Strong ride
Cool post, feel so bad about Jake dude! We need the professor good and healthy , hope your well man.
He’s chillin
Mario Contino has a good video explaining battery charging. Basically if I understand him correctly the green light doesn't indicate 100%, it indicates that when the amp output goes below a certain point. So my pint is 0.3a. When the battery is nearing full the amp output goes down, I think it's to do with battery health. On the normal pint charger the amp output goes down around 98/99%, I don't have a hyper charger but it would make sense that it could be around 90% that the output goes down due to it being higher to start with.
Anyway, great video, was hoping for more miles with the added weight but oh well, probably only get their milage on 20psi road riding! Sounds an uncomfortable ride. Glad Jake's all good
Be good to check cells like on older XRs. But of course FM will block it. Coz ya know, they dicks
Dang I hope Jake is okay that was a nasty spill 🤭
He’s chillin’ but that was gnarly.
“ you’re in my way dude” 😂 funny af
Another great video while I wait for mine to come in 🙌🏻
I got an ad trying to sell Slavic women 😂😂😂💃🏼💰
You gotta love how futureproof the xr is lol the customization options are so rich, FM really created a beast! It’s open source compared to the “Sonyfication” of the GT with the unique tire and rim. imo its a pretty weak attempt to make some extra money… too bad this community is too much of a beast to be stopped tho. I have no doubt the aftermarket will find all of the workarounds needed to really make the gt shine. I can’t wait to see how it turns out. As for me I’m only 700 miles deep in my xr and there’s no way I’m giving up my custom xr with the fangs. I’ve taken that nosedive too many times lmao without modular customization to fit that design into the gt there’s no way I’d touch it. Call it “Onewheel ptsd” or whatever but that’s my 2 cents.
❤️TFL❤️
Lmao 😂 the lady on the bike!!! 😂 💀
Omg,I’m glad jake was okay
another great video, I suspect that Jake would not have had the nosedive if he was on the GT, maybe
Awesome. Need to get it when mine Original is dead. Awesome.
These videos are great
I ride a prowler! Pint tire, all terrain pro. I love my set up with a flight fin on my back foot. Bang bumpers, air pad (yellow). Do any of you float life’s ride a pint tire on your boards?! I get skerp every time I bonk or nudge lol.
Jake bro that woulda messed my shoulder up so much. I even wear a shoulder brace ....sometimes anyway. Hope your healing is fast and that it makes you stronger.
Bringing the people the content they want. Gotta be a teardown inbound? Lets seem them cells!
Nah, not gonna. GT bricks if you take it apart.
do you guys have a leather color solo float plate for the pint as well? @2:46 mark on the display wall
We don’t have anything leather color, sorry
Would love to see how they compare on the downhill side of things🤙
First, that fall was gnarly, glad he was ok. Would love to know, time wise, how long the ride took? thanks!
Felt like all day!
Video is awesomely entertaining, as usual, and you guys are the coolest...but the actual full comparison I'd like to see is GT vs. stock-battery XR. A stock GT compared to a maxed out XR makes less sense, in my opinion.
Check out their previous GT videos for stock battery XR comparisons. The stock XR keeps up very well also. The CBXR comparison is valid because the cost is about the same as a GT and many have long ago upgraded their Onewheel battery to get more range and power so it's what we ride, not stock boards.
As an xr owner I was holding off to see this. Do I upgrade battery or sell and upgrade. Have upgraded foot pads, tire, badger bumpers, wanted bangs but at the time they see impossible to get,. Sidekicks, anyway, my mind is made up, time to add life savers, cbxr, and waterproof it, dreaming of varirails.. even if they tweak the gt, a moded xr seems like the way to go for the foreseeable future
Was this filmed with the new mics you guys were talking about? Maybe it’s just me but the voices and chirping birds sounded sick!
No clue haha
I saw Jake eat 💩 and I'm thinking, "Dude! That looked pretty bad and they're still going like nothing happened! What the crap ...!?!?" 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
I'm glad he's okay. Props for going back for him.
Yeah we were so oblivious! Felt pretty bad afterwards
Is the guy in the white shirt from that video short where the other rider comes up from behind while nose dragging and shoves him to the ground? I figured he was dead or in a coma...
Yup, same dude
The lady on the bike😂😂😂😂
You’re in my way!!!
The Float Life team. Can you make a behind the scenes on what camera gear you use and how you record some of the dope shots you guys get? I’m very interested.
Yeah that sounds cool! We will probably do something on a live stream for our members. Have you considered becoming a member?
Yes I have! I wanna know what you guys do for the buttery smooth and centered follow shots.
10:39 that was a close call lmao 😬
Amazing video and test! I make my own CBXR (I call It TripleXR) and now I think about buy or not a GT... 😅 How many miles At the end? GT and XR
Like 23idh
20:58 - "Look how they massacred my boy"
If the CBXR tastes like butter!
Everybody's gonna want some...
What was that continuous beeping at the end? Was that from the GT or the app?
GT nudge indicator
Jake is so lucky there wasn't a boulder or rock where his head hit. Maaan... I broke my elbow and had scuffs all over my helmet when I hit 18mph on my o.g. pint. Glad he's ok.
True
FM should hire TFL to tune a line of onewheel GTs. Just like Mercedes hired AMG to tune their more hardcore sports sedans.
This is something we are trying to make happen. Love it!
Jake ya ready to hit it? (Jake) figuring out if he's still on earth. "Yeah"
I want your job guys! I got to get some of those shocks for my XR! Will they work with a fender?
Need more GT content please
Check out Jake’s new video! czcams.com/video/QmrPYDA6icQ/video.html
Y’all should test CBSP torque in XR vs GT, do some drag races👀
XR stock beats it in a drag race already
@@TheFloatLife does cbsp torque feel similar to gt?
General consensus is that treaded tires get worse range than slicks as well. Perhaps that would make a GT range difference as well?
For sure
Ooooof, hope Jake's ok!
He’s chill. Scary tho
The cbxr page no longer mentions 30-40 mile range, it just says double the range of an xr.
Depends on how you ride. Some get very low. Some much more. People will moan that they don't get what chi say, so I guess they changed it to summat we can work out for ourselves. I get 10 to 15 miles on XR so I shoukd expect 20 to 30 miles on cbxr no? Seems a better way to do things without people questioning what they said before about the mileage. I cpikd get 18 miles on XR but I dint ride slow and chill to achieve it usually. So my range is 15 max not 18 as FM advertised for XR
That's cool to know about the difference in charging of hyper and home charger, that the hyper doesn't rlly top it off.
Hypercharger will top off eventually, but because it charges faster it hits max voltage faster (green light) and therefore takes longer to balance and finish off the last bit of the charge.
There's also variations from charger to charger. So there's no telling if yours will behave the same
The cells info will be blocked by FM again no doubt, so we won't be able to check if cells are balanced again. Balanced cells is safe, unbalanced is potentially dangerous. Stupid
@@redboyjan it's confirmed the diagnostics shows the same info on the GT as the latest XRs which is basically nothing
@@TheStopmotionMovie absolutely no surprise. We ask for cell info, FM ignore us. Like steel inserts, a light cable that isn't from the 20th century etc etc
I am curious about the speed you guys are riding especially in those narrow trails!
Like 20 or so
@@TheFloatLife damn! You guys are fast!!
Awesome video. Not surprised at all by the results. BUT man I hope the professor is all right.
How long timewise were you actual riding the GT for that mileage? I am assuming average speed affects range quite dramatically?
Felt like half the day! Haha
Does running the GT with 100% full bright lights compared to dim make any difference in battery?
Minimall difference,
those are 15-20watts at most.
Uphill the motor can use 600w+
I would estimate a 3% difference
Lights on XR use 400 metres of a full charge I think they calculated. So 3% sounds about right to me
24:00 That wheel is bouncing like a basketball. Is that with a low psi?
Yeah like 14
How you going to do a range test but not even tell us how far it went? 🤔
lol
Like 23-24ish?
The next question is, when is ChiBattery Systems coming out with a GT battery upgrade?
How’s it right now they won’t be able to. If you unplug the battery, the board bricks
Get on the right side of the road lady-JEFF LOL
Gotta let them know
I live in Alaska and we don’t have trails like that I wish we did tho 😔
What setting were u in on the gt
Highline
Was Jakey's battery dodgy, was there a low or weak cell?
Oh He rode from his house, so he definitely Rode further
This is exactly what I was thinking would happen.
You psychic?
@@TheFloatLife naw man it’s just math broskis…
I was bummed when ordering my GT that Future Motion couldn't supply a battery to beat or at least match what was already on the market (cbxr). With that being said it is exciting to wonder what Chi will be able to come up with with all that extra room in the GT. 50miles??
At present FM has made it so the moment you disconnect the battery on the GT it is bricked so until chi and other aftermarket batteries find a work around it’ll be stock for a while.
@@isaacofHB yeah, it'll take them quite a few boards to get it
@@isaacofHB they found a workaround
As a new rider, I truly admire your skills and your knowledge. But I don't get riding as aggressive as you do, without at least a helmet. I"m going to make sure and watch all your videos, because there will come a time when you won't be able to create substantive content for us to enjoy and grow from. Best wishes Jake
Helmets are dope🤘
What would we do without tfl?
Life would be just a touch less rad
Jake, I hope you good Bro!
He chillin
