If you have a nose dive, you didn’t do it right. If your skateboard shoots out from under you, you didn’t do it right. If you catch your heel side edge on a snowboard and get shit-whipped to your dome, you didn’t do it right. It’s that simple. The only way to fix the “nosedive problem” would be to have an infinitely powerful motor. But that would result in infinite speed. You people bitchin about safety are gonna ruin it for everyone else. If you can’t take a slam, play video games.

I just ride and be nice. I’ve had one ranger stop me and say I’m technically not allowed.. but then he informed me that he was leaving, and told me to be careful. If I see lots of people I head the other way. Most people I do encounter are friendly and interested in the crazy thing I’m riding. As long as we are nice, and give the people who aren’t breaking the rules the right of way, they won’t complain much. And if people aren’t complaining, the rangers will be more likely to worry about something else. I had a cop stop me in a parking lot. It was obvious that I was about to head out into a 45 mph road. He just wanted to know what it was. Offered to let him ride it, he said no. So I called him a pussy and he jumped on! No joke! Just be nice guys... smile, stay out of peoples way. Try not to scare their dogs. We will win.

I still think there’s something screwy with the update in relation to the battery. I have no knowlede of any of this technical electronics stuff. But here’s my thinkin... they added a feature that notifies you when you’re charged to 90%... that hill feature or whatever... so they definitely were messing with the communication between the app and the battery or the bms or whatever it is... and I think they have caused something to go haywire. Tonight I went riding, battery was at 80% and I get the 10% warning. I pull up the app screen and it shows 80%. Turned it off, back on. Rode er on down to 40 before I called it a day. No more problems. And I think this malfunction can sometimes make your board think itself is dead, and even shut down like it’s dead, when it’s not. Boom. Any takers? I don’t know maybe I’m just a dumb hillbilly. But I know my trouble started the day I did that update.

The long charge fixed it! I couldn’t wait two days so I rode after about 24 hrs of charging and she went all the way down to 3% before kickin me off. Yeehaw!

Ok so I think I have read on here before that you shouldn’t keep trying to turn it back on and get more... but you’re saying that’s ok? I see you on the leaderboard riding hard so I reckon I trust you. I have another onewheel so I do have the option to leave her on charge for 2 days. I’m like you... not riding is not an option. This is the first time my backup board has come into play. Even with a backup board I still dread the thought of sending one in. Who knows what they’re gonna charge me when I have to do it. Hopefully this works. Thank you so much for your knowledge. You have given me some hope. Shred on!

I did the update yesterday. Then I went riding. Now I’m not saying this is because of the update... but maybe... it was a nice warm day. I was riding with two other onewheels. I always monitor our batteries when I ride with my buddies because mine has almost 1000 miles and theirs are pretty new. It’s interesting to see who dies first. When my board got down to 34% it started sending me the “ need some juice” message. I’ve never seen this before. I thought maybe it was just the app messing up but twenty yards later she was doing the old hard pushback like they do when they’re dead. After my long walk of shame back to the truck, I went home, charged up again and rode some more. This time it happened at 24%. Walk of shame round 2. So now I’m doing the 2 day charge and hoping that will fix it. Anybody got any advice for me? I’ve read everything I can find and nobody seems to report a situation that matches mine.

I started out using heavy rubber from the bottom heavy piece of an orange construction barrel. It didn’t have this problem but it was very heavy and didn’t have the clean look. Which is why I switched to the yoga blocks. Gotta find something just a little more firm than these yoga blocks, but still lightweight... and I think I’m in business. Maybe even just a different brand of blocks.

So now that I’m actually using them I’ve found that the squishy blocks don’t allow the nuts to ever be very tight. Then they slip upwards and get looser on your feet over time. Haven’t figured out a solution yet but the wheels are turning in my brain.

I don’t know why anyone would assume this sport is supposed to be safe. Board sports are known for kickin your ass. Skateboarders scrape their skin off on the regular. If you want to shred... prepare to take a beating. You gotta pay to play. If you can’t take some slams you definitely should not be playin. It seems most people are taking most of the damage to their upper body. Shoulders, collar bones, elbows. The good part is that you don’t really need these parts to keep on riding! I’ll never stop!

I had a footpad go bad. I just called em, they sent me one really fast, charged me 100 bucks ( which is better than buying the set of both pads on the site for 150.) and then when I returned the bad one, they refunded my money. I thought that was pretty cool.
