I just got my OneWheel and i am having problems riding it.
-
Fourth or fifth charge and i feel like I should probably stop and explain what it is when kids go, aw man cool skateboard! Met a girl today as she was coming home from work. another guy rode it, gave a card to some kids with their mom. I realize I won't need a puppy to meet a new girlfriend, haha. 44 years old with surf, skate snowboard experience... No pads yet but I want top speed so I better get some... Orlando Earthpilot pimpin....

@Earthpilot I was just rideing in Orlando 2 weeks on UCF campus :) yes your the center of attention :) even at 42 yrs old
-
47 here.
Youngins. Lol.
-
Don't worry about the speed that is the first rule. Just relax and get comfortable with your board, and the attention.
-
bunch of old guys riding these things (myself included 40 here :) ) ... maybe it's because we're the only ones that can afford them?? lol
-
@detroitwheelin I think that's a big part of it! I definitely would have wanted one if they were around when I was in my twenties, but I woudn't be able to afford it. I'm just glad I'm still in good enough shape to ride one now (I'm 46).
-
@thegreck So true on all statements. I wish I had my OW with me now while In Germany and Italy. Maybe I can get a loaner from @Jimmers75???? ;-)
-
@LidPhones Always happy to consider a rental agreement for sure on a used board!!
-
Yep, same thing with electric skateboards when they came out.
There were more riders in their 30's and 40's than 20's.
Those are the baby boomers who were hard core skateboarders and often wished they'd be motorized.
Boy, did those electric gadgets come out on time... lol...
-
The cost is why most of us are stuck riding solo :'( I wouldn't have been able to afford this thing outright if I didn't receive a killer deal from the greatest father known to man =D
-
@Wrex - age is just a number ;-) mine is 53 but I get younger every time I ride
-
Getting old sucks.....
Getting divorced sucks....
Spending money without having anyone bitch at you.... Priceless
-
I've had mine since May and still have problems riding it... either my kids are on it, my wife made dinner plans so I can't go out..and even if we have no plans she's still like, "it's 9:30, where are you going?" and don't get me started with work!! I mean I do bring it to work and manage 3 miles a day riding it around there up still, there is just never enough time!! Probelms, first world problems...but problems none the less..
-
@wr420 i can relate to the "it's 9:30 where are you going?" one lol ... by the time i get done w/ work, do family stuff, get the kids to bed and finally get to head out for a quick run, it's like 9:30 - 10 .. good thing our OW's have lights :)
-
@detroitwheelin I LOVE night riding.

They need a night rider mode in the next FW release. Red sweeping front LED.

400 of my 500 miles are at night. Best ever. Night riding golf courses at night under full moons epic...
-
@wr420 seriously. Knight Rider light mode would be amazing!

@wr420 seriously. Knight Rider light mode would be amazing!
I think this should actually be possible... calling @SeeTheInvisible! What do you think about adding some different light modes in the OWheelBuddy app?
