I have Gemini - 4134 firmware with 4208 Hardware. How does one update hardware?

Has FM been able to really resolve/fix the bluetooth problem? I dont just want to send my board in to get back the same problem with another hardware..

@Mark-Vlogs If you do have bluetooth problem then what? My one wheel can;t keep connection to my phone....

Yeah, sending people to the hospital so the board doesn’t break makes perfect sense. I hope they fix this nose dive problem. It’s a problem as so many people know and why hasn’t it been fixed yet. Maybe another company can take this experience one more step and get rid of nose dives.

@Maverik @bigjee i agree only if one is going for it. Like when i am wakeboarding and i am going for a 360 i expect i could eat shit. Well use to eat more shit. I have broken ribs twice now doing various tricks.

@stinkyface thanks. Can i backcharge my pain and loss of other activities? 😂

I don’t trust my board at all. First nose dive was at 30 miles. Maybe got to comfortable... i was going up hill and no idea what happened and i was on the ground. Just scraped up but took a month to heal those big patches of missing skin. Might sell the board. Don’t want to eat shit again. The board should protect me not itself.

Does the pint throw people off as well??

What areas are you talking about?

@sdaiberl when you state the one wheel “shuts down” does it turn off? And you would have to turn it back on by pushing the on button?

@skyman88 Cruz

Oh yeah loose and less pressure needed to push down...i found that out after my fall and that was not how i wanted to learn!

@jackiemoon i agree carving was fun, but trying to go faster wasn’t fun. I was carving at an average of 7 mph. When i started goin up hills i was hitting 12mph so in the carve mode i worried i would get push back with the top speed for the carve mode being slower, that’s the only reason i whiched to mission. I wish there was a mode to allow you to choose to hurt the board versus having the board protect itself versus you, the human!

When i fell i think i hit my jaw as well. Wish it was protected as well as it hurts for the last week. But also do i really need a full helmet? I have seen ones that convert....

@kd6tav well not sure But i don’t plan on using mission for any general inclining now. I am not all about going fast. Top speed is 12 and that was on a gentle incline just before falling on a slightly steep hill at around 10mph

Earlier i tried a really really steep hill about a 40% climb. Had it in incline mode and had to start off perpendicular to the hill as if not i would roll backwards, i went up it and was fine very slow. Down was interesting as it was like dropping in to a half pipe until the one wheel engaged as it was rolling freely. Down use incline for going down.

Well i took my first fall. Yes i went over. I was going up a hill i have gone up several several times in carve mode. I just hit 30 miles so feeling good on the board i switched to mission as i was getting closer to the speed limit for carve and didn’t want to get push back and do i nose dive! Well within a mile on my first uphill i went down over the nose!!!

@readysetawesome okay i am going to have to how this works. On a skate board, by far no expert, just entry but when i push it along a use my body and push the board left to right with my front foot. Well i thin’ that’s what’s gong on. On the one wheel to keep my feet on the pads the pressure is the same and i move my body left to right, point it where i want to go to move the board. Or lean it edge to edge for a slight adjustment left to right, similarly to a carving on a snow board. But on a snow board my weight is mostly front and my back goes right to left as the rudder. Okay you got me thinking..... i just jump on and go so never think about it

@Stay_in_school just jump on and go. I have no idea which foot is dominate just know it feel better with one foot in front versus the other. And just go

@gsparx i wonder what they did, just change it out for another modular or an upgrade....
