Great video. I'm the same way with speed bumps. I'm not sure how to deal with them yet. maybe someone here could provide tips on how to go over speed bumps.

Finally had a dry weekend to go ride.

Bump. Been two weeks and no response to my open ticket with FM. Should I just re-install the app? Would my username and rides be recovered?

@owpete Funny, i was just thinking about this topic this morning too. I would be great if someone from FM gave the corresponding values in custom for each of the digital shaping modes. I would love to set the custom somewhere in the spectrum between Mission and Delirium.

@geilecharlie Yeah, i like this. My fender is 3D printed from this model

@mr-vince Dude... You do realize that a turned off one wheel is nothing like a onewheel with a responsive 2 way trigger, right?

Coming from a Future Motion representative, it was stated that the Onewheel CPU checks position 14,000 times per second to keep you balanced. (https://community.onewheel.com/topic/7/commonly-asked-questions-we-ve-heard-it-all). And even at that processing speed people still manage to overtake the CPU and fall off the board.

You telling me you can adjust your trigger finger 14,000 times per second to keep you from face planting?

I love the look of this. Very tacticool. Most of my rides are in the evenings too, so I definitely want to try this out.

LOL, as much as I loved that video, it is completely unrelated to what I asked (again for science). At this point I actually doubt that you have ever ridden a Onewheel. If you think it is possible to balance on an Onewheel with no gyros while it is rolling, then I really want to see you doing it. readysetawesome made a good point about having the trigger at zero. At zero position, the motor would be off since the gyros are off. How about get a piece of plywood, slap a wheel barrel wheel in the center of it and ride that down a hill since you dont own a onewheel. I really want to see you doing this. I think it would be a fun video to watch. Plus your success would put us all in our place.

I wish you owned a Onewheel or at least get a chance to ride one for a day. If you did, you would know that the Onewheel is one of the most intuitively controlled electric personal vehicles. Just "think" the direction you want to go and how fast and the board does it. Why? because unlike e-skates that use just the muscles in your trigger finger and the nerve impulses just in you hand to control those muscles, the Onewheel uses almost all the muscles in your body, your inner ear, your vision and almost your entire nervous system as the control input. No trigger finger can compare to that.

@kylezg said in Carveability on Gemini App:

I thought turning was accomplished by leaning and using the edge of the wheel. So, on the new Gemini app, how does the Carveability setting work? It does really seem to work, though.

While trying to understand how to execute a really sharp low speed turn I found what Bodhi Harrison said about digging the a corner into the ground really helpful. Here was the video. https://youtu.be/V4cyi-wZCPU?t=41

His explanation worked for me. That it is not just bringing the the OW to the edge of the tire to turn, but to dip the front corner of the board into the turn. I think this is where loose vs tight comes into play. It would be hard to make a tight toe side turn if the board is tight and is fighting my effort to drive the toe side corner of the board close to the ground. Delirium allows me to more easily push the nose and tail down, so in turn it makes it easier to push the front toe side corner to the ground when turning. Same is true for heel side. So the looseness of the front and rear translates to how easy it is to dip the leading corner into a turn, thus giving the feeling of a more carvey board.

@bryphi77 when I make the noob mistake of getting on my OW without turning it on or while it is blinking an error code I instantly fall off as I try to bring the board level. It's not easy, i'm not saying impossible. I just saying the self balancing gyros do a pretty awesome job at something I cannot personally do.

again, not impossible as i am sure someone like Hunter Joslin can maybe do it
Here, watch him - https://youtu.be/YBCmT4yNv64

Since it is your idea how about you do a test for us. Find a nice hill with a smooth paved path, take your onewheel to the top of that hill, turn it OFF, get on and ride it down to the bottom. Please be sure to have someone video tape the experiment. For science of course. We need proof that the OW was off the entire ride down. Eagerly waiting for your video...
