@medhead Yeah I hate that. There's a golden lab in my neighborhood who is luckily fenced in, but scares the crap out of me when I ride by, because he comes running out from behind the house and charges the fence, barking like a lunatic the entire time.
One time I was on my way home and heard him barking and running towards me across the yard, and was horrified when I saw that the gate was wide open because his owner was backing the car out! My heart dropped for a second, until I saw that as soon as he got to the open gate he stopped and sat down. Thank god he was well trained!!
I carry dog pepper spray now.

That's odd because where I ride the dogs don't mind at all.. and I often take my friends pointer for walks with me riding my Onewheel..
-
@DavidJohn You must live in the land of nice dogs! I've heard of that place, but always thought it was a myth.
-
Maybe @DavidJohn lives in California. The New Jersey dogs do not like the Onewheel!
-
@medhead I live in LA and they hate the Onewheel here! [Edit: Dogs, I mean.]
-
Yep, not a friend of the animal world, cats too, but they're convinced its some kind of cat eating monster...
-
When people ask "how do you make that thing go?" My wife says "with my mind" but I like to say "there's a hamster running in the wheel"

(walked into a store with the OW)
Guy whispers to a friend: oooo I saw that on Youtube...Guy: Hey man, do you think I could try that thing out?

Guy: Do you smoke? I'll give you some weed
Me: NopeDrunk woman: HAHAHAHA Look at that, the poor tire is all bald!
Me: rides awayGuy says to his children: Look kids! look at the cool toy!

"Dude,do an ollie!"
"Wheres the motor in that thing?"
"Where'd you buy that?"
-
I get, "where did you hear about that?"
Which is just baffling to me cause, I'm like.... The Internet.... Cause I like cool things... And I pay attention to them... :)

"I thought I was seeing stuff..."
A guy driving by on a Saturday night...

Riding past a pub with my son - a guy sitting at an outside table jumps up and points and yells, "Whoa!!! They're wizards!!!"

"Where'd you buy that?"One of my co-workers annoys me. He's like, "Go as fast as you can!" and "Jump some curbs."

@hekkubus Or "Do a handstand!" What do people think we are, circus performers? Nobody asks people riding longboards to do tricks.
-
I think I have slight air leak and been holding off sending it in.
Yesterday I took a portable bicycle pump with me and half way back, I had to pump the tire a bit.
Couple people passed by me with the look,
"what the fu** is that guy doing..???"
-
@sonny123 Don't send it back just yet, buy a can of slime and squeeze 4oz into the wheel. That usually fixes most leaks.
-
I tried it and I think it helped.
But having bought it used, the threads are slightly showing.
Gonna try to get by on it as long as I can.
Dunno what I'll do without it for 2 weeks. lol
-
@sonny123 Wow, you have to put quite a few miles on it for the threads to show... I hope it's still under warranty!
-
I think the previous owner did quite a bit of ripping on it.
Ironically, range is unaffected and never had a single issue with it.
Runs like a charm.
Not to mention I did plenty of slow speed carving trying to get the hang of it.
The white threads are in few spot on the edge, not in center.
