Earlier this spring a beaver dropped a tree across the Greenway I frequent with my Onewheel. Trail maintenance had it cut up and moved before I encountered it. Here is the stump evidence, and also a fresh beaver dam nearby.

In a pleasing turnaround for me '@floatfanatics' has joined the V1 Daystreak -- below me. For all my 5000 mile daystreak '@floatfanatics' had been above me on the Leaderboard, so for me this is a welcome change.

An active day on the leaderboards, today. Dropping off the V1 Daystreak were 'Rodneycat' and 'ridersblock', making room for me -- 'S.Leon NE Ohio', and 'Wurman'. 'The1Moose' has been continuing his ascension up the XR mileage Leaderboard, passing by 'OnTheOne' recently, and coming up on 'Blue(^^)'. Big changes on the Pint mileage Leaderboard -- maybe someone could chime in here with an analysis -- I do not have a Pint and so have not watched closely. 'OneWheelJefe' is tied for eighth place at the moment with 'therealmatatat' on the Plus mileage Leaderboard. Likely from Arizona, judging from the rattlesnake icon and saguaro cactus icon by his handle, 'OneWheelJefe' holds two places on two separate Onewheels on the Plus mileage Leaderboard -- 1st and 8th, with 10577 miles and 6455 miles respectively for a combined total of 17032 miles! WOW!

(Edit: By the way, too, 'mekekgul' from Spain relinked his board, claiming the #2 spot on the V1 mileage Leaderboard. The relinking bumped me and the rest of the V1 riders down one rightful place.)

Two years ago when I first started riding a Onewheel I was wearing my safety gear under my clothes so as to be less noticeable. Robert Allen was surprised -- saying, "I wear mine to protect my clothes."

My personal preference is for hard shell pads for impact and slide. And the plastic of the knee pad for my lead knee has some pretty good gouges from falls on pavement.

@HanahsDax Build it and they will come! Looks like fun!

@stinkyface My thoughts? Already shared: "...personally I am glad I ride a V1 and a Plus."

Thin -- but colorful -- evidence of wildlife.

It's entertaining to see on the Leaderboards riders playing with their handles. For example today on the Plus mileage leaderboard the rider in the #10 spot has the same handle as the one in the #1 spot. Does ONEWHEELJEFE really hold both places, or is someone teasing us? The Pint mileage board has all kinds of interactive messages in handles today -- personally I am glad I ride a V1 and a Plus. And then the new rider on the V1 Daystreak made me smile with 'ridersblock' as a handle. (puts me now at #6 there by the way.) I find geographical areas in the handle are useful for picturing where these riders ride -- mine is clear, Justin from Sarasota is clear, and Johnny Bell from Dallas/Fort Worth DFW is also clear. Others? Who knows?

@kyosya. A Onewheel moving on its own sounds to me like a problem with the grip tape over the sensor. Search YouTube for videos on replacing your grip tape -- or get a new footpad.

Get an app to check your battery cell voltages for balance -- I use the Onewheel Community Edition app, but there are others. (Note: the XR only has 15 cells, while the Plus and V1 have 16, so for the XR one cell of the 16 in the app will read weirdly.) A solution I have read but not really tried for rebalancing the battery cells to get a more accurate percentage reading is to drain your battery to 'Captain Morgan' low battery pushback, turn the Onewheel off and wait a moment, drain it some more and again until it will no longer turn on, then charge it for 24-72 hours -- and hopefully that will correct the issue.

@HanahsDax If you are feeling generous in about a month you might change your mind. Less than 500 miles behind the leader, FranKtheTank may take the OVERALL #1 spot in mileage soon. PASCH has been happily static for a week or more now, liking his pleasing 14,444. Might be exciting if he values his status and wakes up.

Of course, if you were generous it would pull me up a little, too. My wife laughed when she learned that I am currently #7 in the wings of the V1 Daystreak. "How did you get up there so quick? Didn't you just drop off a couple weeks ago? -- Oh!!! I know, there is what... maybe only 20 riders on a V1?" And laughed with me when I kind of sheepishly nodded yes, that might be so.

Personally, I love riding the V1 because it feels so much more alive than the the much smoother Plus (and I assume the XR). While riding the V1 I have to pay much more attention to the feel and the motor sound. One beautiful day recently with the board and myself riding together in great form, I noticed my top speed graced 22.2 mph -- way higher than anything I have done with the Plus. -- Please note, though, I would not even think of riding that fast without extra battery support.

(Edit: Another note -- I also would not think of riding so fast without full safety gear, which for me includes shoulder armor, a hip pad, and even a tailbone pad, as well as a helmet, wrist guards, knee pads, and elbow pads. And I know they work because I have taken falls and have ridden away without even a bruise.)
