Hiya,
Long time lurker that's slowly creeping out of her shell. Active on reddit but wanted to start engaging with my fellow floaters over here too :)
I recently compiled some footage I've acquired over the better parts of the UK weather this year during my daily floating endeavours. Packaged it up in a little montage for you all to enjoy <3

I raise you a Velociraptor!
(and Peppa Pig... this totally counts right?)
Going through the pics on my phone and forgot I took this back in August.
Small herd of deer enclosed within the boundaries of a local farm. It's the only good view you get of them if you can find this small little bridleway tucked in a bush.
Week 41 locked in, lets see how things have progressed.
Daystreak
Mileage
That's all for this week, hope everyone is enjoying the updates :)
Sorry @HanahsDax for stealing the 3000mile marker, didn't realise I was coming up to it. Got my app set in KM.
Looking back through my screenshots; if not for that 100KM VNR test ride I did the day before hitting 3000miles you'd have beaten me for sure.
Sad to see my fellow UK leaderboard companion fall off #2.
Hi all,
Been PM'd over on reddit about potentially purchasing an XR that I tried guiding a fellow floater through diagnosing since it wasn't turning on. I already own one but love fixing things so fixing a OW sounds fun.
They've been sitting on it for a while unable to swallow the costs of getting it repaired since they believe the controller and battery are dead (motor is fine with a new tyre on it). When we checked it over the comments it looked to be a failed BMS due to liquid damage that drained the cells pretty much to 0v across all cells (yikes). Not sure why they believe the controller is also dead unless they got that checked by a third party hen getting quotes for repair.
My issue is they're in the US and I'm in the UK so shipping might cost as much as they want for the dead board. Ideally I'd like the whole thing minus the cells (since they're useless and will causing issues shipping) so I can try fault finding the dead components to bring her back to life.
Anyone got any advice or had any experience shipping a OW or something of similar size/weight from US to UK?
If not... anyone in the UK got a dead board they'd want to sell me to tinker with ;p

@Glyph I keep hearing Mission is better for smoother terrain in general but I can't get over how sluggish it feels compared to Delirium. Having that extra snappy reaction when I need it is really nice. It might just be me being stuck in my way mind you lol.
Hi all,
As the new Leaderboard watcher I've decided to do a week summary of positions followed by notes below of anything else interesting that may have happened along the way. Since I only really stared logging since yesterday not much has occurred.
Feel free to add any additional context or notes that I might have missed along the way :)
End of week 39 of 2020.
Daystreak
First thing of note is TiY has fallen off position 3 on the Onewheel+ daystreak bumping nyte.ryda and Glassalchemist up the ranks.
Va_Breeze has joined the board at position 5 only 2 days less than Glassalchemist at position 4
Mileage
Nothing seemingly to report on for the Mileage boards. I'm sure with the seasons changing the southern hemisphere will begin to catch up with the northern hemisphere again now that it's getting warmer for them and colder for the northern side.
Another week down, another summary image for you all. Seems like almost all the changes are occurring on the V1 this week.
Daystreak
Mileage
XR has stevie_wondaa and CarpetFace trade positions #4 and #5.
Graz[hopp]er seems to have unlinked their board since they have vanished from the Pint mileage board. jonnyboomboom has in turn secured position #10
#3 Thormax and #5 onewheeltour have disappeared off the list leading to #9 and #10 to be populated by tigermiketea and J-Glide.
I think for future to keep things simple I'll from now on update shifts in positions on these Sunday posts with the occasional note on other days if other interesting things appear.
Since starting I have been saving a copy of https://app.onewheel.com/leaderboards.html for each day so we should now have a sort of historic record to refer back to providing I continue to remember to do it.
XR Leaderboard champ OneWheelWing appears to have setup a Reddit and Youtube account.
If anyone is itching to ask them any questions go check them out!
Thankies @blkwalnutgrwr :)
Glad you enjoyed~
@blkwalnutgrwr There's something so appealing to me about riding through water, I just can't resist anytime I see something shallow enough.
@blkwalnutgrwr Ah fair enough, good idea with the fender!
I'm usually dinking about in the controller so I end up re-badgering every few months. Good shout though on giving it a refresh every now and then. On my XR there are 2 holes in the metal lid for the battery which only has the internal gasket covering it. Seen a few boards go bad presumably because of that with water seeping round the pad and into that hole. I think it's there to allow the pad bolt to fit properly but ends up compromising the seal.
Found my new favourite spot to ride, only possible when it’s as shallow as this.
Most of the vid is in water so viewing may be uncomfortable for some floaters, discretion is advised 😉
Looked like I was getting her deeper than what shows on the vid, guess I can attempt the middle next time where it gets a little deeper.
Thankies @LidPhones :)
If you're interested in the battery and the flight fin battery capacity display adapter I released the files and parts on Thingiverse/MyMiniFactory.
@blkwalnutgrwr Also had Jaredz briefly appear as #10 on the Pint Mileage leaderboard Yesterday.
Seems Some1youknow has reclaimed the spot though as of today.
@blkwalnutgrwr It’s pretty cool that the V1 can have the BMS entirely bypassed. Makes diagnosing stuff a little easier.
From a safety standpoint it’s a bit iffy but theres nothing stopping you getting an off the shelf BMS to wire in between so you can retain some cell balancing and protection.
More info, turns out the controller isn't dead (or at least hasn't been verified) but just the BMS and cells.
BMS fault is likely to be corrosion across the 63v rail at the connector, anything else may just be a component level repair. Cell replacement should be simple providing I wire up the connector wright with new thermistors for temperature monitoring.
Waiting on a quote for shipping as of yet. Fingers crossed US to UK shipping for 13kg in a box the size of a Onewheel isn't ridiculous.
@blkwalnutgrwr That's a lot of screenshots.
Sorry if I've totally got the wrong end of the stick, is the issue that you can't seem to overtake #5 who's on the same day even if you update your streak first thing after the date refresh?
@blkwalnutgrwr Oh that's interesting, wonder if that's by design or an edge case that was never expected.
It's possible in the table of data the rider name is the key field and cannot be shown multiple times. My limited experience with databases would lead me to believe that's the case.
