  @MichaelW Thanks everyone! Did a little more digging and was referred to Matt F. and got in contact with him. Sounds like he's the person to see in LA.

  HELlooooooo! Wow, hear that echo...echo..echo???? Been awhile. Nothing really new to report. Just checking in. Had a nice float yesterday after a few weeks off the board, due to weather, schedule, the routines of life. I do have one observation for anyone interested. I found that riding again, after a full month absence, felt just as natural as it did the last time I rode. The only difference is that my calves were pretty sore later, since I hadn't used those muscles for awhile...ankles were 2. So I predict that in the future, instead of referring to bicycles, people will say...."oh you never forget that, why it's just like riding a Onewheel!"

  JFB, we all had to start somewhere, good job! I sell some charging port plugs on Etsy, but also have another version and a stand that I'll be posting to Thingiverse once I'm done designing.

  @skyman88 said in New OneWheel APP Update: 2.1.33: @SirCarvesAlot Thanks a good distance to ride at once... a crazy crew in Dallas did 111 miles last Sunday. Too much for me. Have you discovered trails yet? Let's just say I felt the burn ;) 111 miles in a straight line? hehehe. I can't imagine covering that much distance in a single day. Actually, is that even possible considering charge time and time to ride 12-18 miles at a time. Dude, the world has become mountains to me now. I'm a snowboarder but haven't been able to deal with the logistical requirements this year. Pretty much every feature in the world around me is becoming something special. I'm learning to see the urban space around me as a playground. Yes, I've found a ton of awesome terrain to ride and carve. Ride on brotha.

  @ooww that’s a great suggestion. I’d like to see if the board would still fit with a fender though.

  @fruitygreen said in Thoughts on Business Strategy for Future Motion: @djtherick2020 said in Thoughts on Business Strategy for Future Motion: This has been sidetracked a bit. It isn't really meant to be a "product improvements" thread, but rather a business strategy thread. I apologize for participating in it. However "Business Strategy" should always consider "Product Improvements". -Where do you think marketing budget should be best spent/what groups and demographics targeted? Marketing budget should be partially spent on me and those who help sell the product. Every time I stop to answer the questions people ask me, I spend the time to explain a whole bunch of facts about the Onewheel. OW definetly has cool factor. Everyone wants to be cool. That being said , it all comes down to who can afford it. I am a middle-aged dude who can afford these machines.. Stereotyping here: Kids(5-18yrs): $0 income; wants 1, cannot afford but can influence the purchase. Student Adults: $0 income left; wants 1 but cannot afford. Working Young Adult(19-30): $2500 ; 1% interested ; small interest Career Adults( 30- 100): $2500- $1,000,000; have money . Most smart Marketeers know where to dig their gold. -What else to add to the product lineup? Hmmm. A lot of risk assessment. I know quite a few successful restaurants have a very small menu. Little variety but very good food. I would like to see an uncanned open source version OW control board. Could be higher in price but need to be incompatible with a the existing versions. -Do you think it makes sense to go public or sell out to a larger sporting goods company? Why even have the thought. Quality control would be even worst than ever. I still hearing chatter of bad Support. -Best growth strategies? Make it cheaper. ETC. Hmmm. The " Pint " fits the criteria of affordable.

  @hoovdini Good to know. Figured as much as there are a lot of ways to do this and not a lot of issues.

  @Earthpilot good to know man. Think I may go with that after this next Vega I get wears out (didn't want to void the 12 month warranty on the board).

  Yeah, at launch it was stated that the pint is "fully supported" by the app. Said can change the ride with digital shaping, record rides, etc.... I'm assuming and hoping that its basically identical to the existing functionality on my XR

  We did a little more strength and pressure testing over the weekend and ran over an ABS+ test unit with our 3,000 lb. SUV. https://youtu.be/tJXrIPvkgdA

  @tomfoolery and sent him a hat. All businesses protect their social media, especially when launching new products. @mr-vince I've been lurking on these forums for a while and have rarely even seen FM involved. They have some of their employees in the larger Facebook groups and there are ton more engaged riders there. Between FB and IG, I don't think they really have a need for the forum to exist any more... I just like the simplicity of it here and the fact that it takes 10 min a day to stay on top of the new posts... on a busy week. @mr-vince as far as FM not liking their customers... I don't think this is true personally (my opinion), but I think it's lack of understanding who their current clientele is. Could be an age thing, could be a Cali thing, not sure... but I don't think they want to cater to a small die hard population, and instead choose to expand their customer base. They were invited to FLF last year but couldn't make it. Jack at least mentioned the event during the NYC launch of the Pint. I think a lot of current OW riders are older than the marketing team thinks... the Pint may change that because it costs less than an iPhone X did when it was launched.
