Looking forward to a new perpective! Thank you, Lia. Follow your instincts in following the action. I tried to post often enough to stay afloat on the first page of 'recent'. A hearty welcome to a new voice, and new ideas!

Will someone else take over here; without a phone I can no longer see the Leaderboards (nor connect for a daystreak).

@Haydenator -- In winter in Northeast Ohio while Onewheeling I wear a full face motorcycle helmet to keep my head warm. Any other season I find the helmet is too hot.

Giant spherical fungi; boxy, rectangular parallelepiped Onewheel fender.

@LidPhones -- In a similar vein, it took me months to figure out how to turn the lights off when I first got my Onewheel. Thanks. Never saw the star before. Ha!

@Swinefeaster -- Getting a little wild there.

Luxuriously thick, wild grapevine sinews just off the Onewheel trail.

Anyone else see a star next to their favorite Onewheel on the 'connect to your Onewheel' page in the app recently? Anyone have more than one star? In my app the star was blue earlier today, maybe when the board was connected. Is the star perhaps a Leaderboard indicator? Or is it something different altogether?

@Lia -- Hi Lia, Personally, I like the weight/mass just aft of center. Experimenting, I've been making wooden box fenders that give the battery mass a very stable platform base, and I can ratchet strap them down. But I have even stacked and strapped two EGO batteries precariously on top of each other on the fender and the board still felt fine -- even good, to have them up against the calf of my leg. That said, I am not doing drops, tricks, or hard-core off-road with any of my set-ups. The only time I seem to be able to tolerate the backpack solution is in the cold of winter when I already have bulky overwear on. Oh, and to amend an earlier assertion, I do have one board with which I use a paralleled EGO exclusively; somehow otherwise its voltage sag happens all too easily.

@Lia -- On the Onewheel fender in a fender bag, paralleled into the stock battery, is a CarvePower booster with two high capacity CarvePower batteries. With it on my Plus I can count on twenty-five miles (~42km) or more. Three seasons of the year it is my favorite system. For heavy power draws (like through snow) an EGO battery paralleled in seems better.
