Thank you. I really appreciate the advice & encouragement. Been practicing on the driveway this weekend. I have it pretty well nailed. Keeping my feet & ankles more “loose” to better absorb the side to side undulations was the key. Also, remembering that momentum is your friend on loose surfaces.

@eckit Yeah it's well done and doesn't require you to hear it, making it great when you are listening to music or in traffic. Careful with the water on your XR... water damage highlighted in the manual. Recommend you wait before charging at the least if you are exposing the board to water.

A long time ago I bicycled across the U.S., and I came across a guy who rode his bike with a pink skirt and blond "pony tails" attached to his helmet (pony tails were not terribly convincing close up, but from a car, they looked "real"). He said motorists would give him considerably more room. I briefly considered doing the same but was too lazy. Also I had this crazy idea that I was a guy back then. :) Also came a across another couple from Germany. They rigged these detachable, small triangular red flags to their bikes that poked out into traffic maybe a foot and a half. They also said motorists gave them considerably more room.
