. . . grew-up in Orlando, flat and warm are the words to describe Florida.

@Franko

F! I already got a board, and I'm getting excited thinking about you guys getting yours!

. . . gonna be great!

@OneDan

Thanks! But, I thought the Hoosier was a 5"?

We do have a LOT of trails around here, so that gives me a lot to think about.

I started with Delirium 3 days ago after seeing a vid with a guy saying '. . . if you feel like you're fighting the board, try D'.

I have an irregular gravelly driveway heading for the street, and the day I switched, for the first time I looked like a pro leaving the house.

I was sold!

. . . just have to remember to moderate my speed.

:o)

@Ethan_Sonberg

I'm not sure where you'll be riding, and I'm certainly no OW expert or have ridden a Pint, but your weight seems less than the average weight by which they calculate expected mileage. Depending on the temps you'll be riding in, I'd be surprised if you can't tweek extra miles & speed on a warm day riding pavement.

@OneDan

Thanks, the wet leaves thing was something I hadn't considered.

I'm leaning toward the 6" wide Burris, I'm riding on Delirium now, and don't think I need the extra squirreliness of a rounded Hoosier.

When I bought the XR up here, I just assumed I'd have to hang-it-up for the winter - now, I don't think I can.

By the way, if anyone from Burris or Hoosier read this site . . . look into making a studded tire for OneWheel - I'm your first customer.

@b0ardski

As you'd expect, Sly was out there gettin-it with all his moves on streets and through parks (with some minor adjustments, maybe) - which is enough indication that I can do the same at half the speed with some common sense.

Just got an email from Burris, they don't make (nor know anyone who does) a studded cart tire. The tread depth on their OW tire is around 1/8", so no room for a screw-in stud.

Nonetheless, just watched a vid with Slydog cruising around in a Chicago winter with a treaded tire (not sure if Hoosier or Burris), but I'm going to give the Burris 11x6-6 tire a try in late September when winter gets here.

@Brando

Well, about the buyback program - I think I'm too emotionally attached to my XR to ever sell it. So, whenever the +XR++ comes-out, we'll just be adding to the family.

I've told my wife that when I die, I want a Viking Funeral with my OW in our bay - me and Boardy will be going down together on a flaming paddle board (god that sport looks boring af), while the otters gather-round and hold vigil cracking oysters on their bellys.

@Brando

Damn Dude! You're old like me!

Let me guess, you're reading this with your reading glasses right now . . . just like me.

@Brando

I'm with ya now. 'Snowboard' is where I missed you. Like I said, grew up in Florida, in the 70s . . . not a great place for snow sports.
