If you think about it, each foot on a Onewheel has different criteria of importance. If all I am doing is Onewheeling sometimes I wear a skate shoe on my sensor foot with a different, comfortable shoe behind.

The hands-free aspect of a Ripstik is nice, and there is a certain amount of fun factor. You are right, though, a stout caster board unit with Onewheel torque and bigger, pneumatic tires capable of off-road would make it more useable and enjoyable. A balance drive control instead of a remote would give it more of the Onewheel feel. As it is on my Onewheel I have 2700 miles -- on my electric Ripstik I have maybe ten.

Shoes maybe? Change in the weather? I also ride a V1 -- with high mileage.

"The other woman" or "the other lady" is what my wife calls my board... because of my love affair there.
I call it "Peter the Wolf."

Whoops! After more than 1100 miles weathering few and only minor incidents I sprawled on pavement twice today in one ride. Falling forward then first, and five miles later, back, bruising both hips and worse, shattering my trailing wrist — gear on all but that wrist. I will be falling off the streak leaderboard for V1 tomorrow.

Rails to trails is my treadmill — beautiful woods.

A choppy sea of sea green sycamore leaves on the rain soaked trail this afternoon, leaves partly dry, curling, with pointy lobes six inches up to the air like rough little waves — you are right, it is great fun to ride through. Instead of a fender, on my lead leg I tape plastic and let it get plastered with the wet maple leaves further in the trail. Every so often I roll backwards dropping a wet clot of leaves to bump over.

It could be that I am wrong in that... but when I dropped off the streak board it was not midnight, but in the afternoon. I’m back on now again, and in good company, too.

DJTheRick2020 The “day” I suspect is riding again within 24 hours of when you last rode. For example if I ride in the morning on Tuesday, but not until afternoon or evening on Wednesday it does not qualify as a streak.
