That's a really good deal for somebody.

You can definitely here the motor ramp up a little more when you switch from from mission to delirium when you're inside where it's quiet, which more likely means a faster drain on your battery. I switch to delirium when I go off road.

@McFly

If you do decide to hang in there with it, just take it slow and travel in small to large "S" patterns. It forces you to slow down. To tell you the truth, I hardly ever go straight unless I'm starting from a complete stop.

@McFly That almost looks like my arm looked like after I partially tore my pectoral major. Maybe not that much bruising though.

What's silly is I broke my ankle snowboarding at Steamboat. Four of us crowed on one of the smaller lifts (I was the only one boarding, the rest of them were skiing and I had been riding lifts behind or in front of them for the entire trip because I don't particularly like skis all over my board). When we got off at the top it was a hog rush and my brothers skis went over my board and I lost my balance (unbinded back foot), took a few steps to recover, fell, and the board's momentum turned my ankle...pop!. It was the last day, but still. It hasn't even been a year yet, and I've been carving with the one wheel for over a month now. It is as you eluded to, a nice substitute, when you live in "snowless-mountainless" region.

@tomfoolery Yea, I should have just started another thread.

This is pretty good deal on an XR listed on craigslist for barely being used plus all the accessories.

If you live close to this area, and in the market, it might be worth a drive to pick it up. BTW it's not mine...I just spotted it.

@wheelrich
Angle you back knee and slightly point it forward in the direction you are heading. It allows you to balance the front to back pressure ratio much quicker without leaning the entire mass of your body. When I learned this and applied it to surfing, I started having fun. It translates easily to the onewheel. BTW, that'snot me, I just posted it for an example.

@lancewooldridge Houston Tx....Remember the blue mammoth at Houston skate park?...That was home.

That's a good one. Elbow pads.
