You gotta get the Silverhandle. It is absolutely kickass!

How did your knee pop before the fall itself? (I don't think I read it wrong, did I) Jesus!!!!

I love the onewheel but you are right, these things are extremely unsafe to a point where it is insane hazard that makes me worry about these getting too popular and in the hands of the wrong crowd. They seriously are meant for carving and enjoyment of riding and CASUAL trips.... but I feel like any single-wheeled vehicle, not just onewheels, are extremely irresponsible to market as any kind of long-distance commuting tool or alternative because that is not safe at all (unless taking great care).

I've been lucky with my wipeouts and I no longer try to push the speed anymore.

I got my 2nd OW coming (the pint) because I realized the top-speed is not going to be a problem with me. I absolutely LOVE the XR but the room for danger is so ginormous....

@skyman88 The handle is included. They also sell a PRO handle for different colors and also a rubber thing to make it comfy if you so prefer.

@Maverick You're just too smart for us. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge with the onewheel community, even if simple-bumpkins like me don't get it. If you ever find yourself in the Hawaiian islands or in the far east, that's where I venture out so don't hesitate to reach out and maybe we can some good rides in, onewheel style!!!! (maybe some hills too if your upgrade works out!!)

I love your enthusiasm, but not gonna lie, I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish. Please post pictures and video when you succeed! Sounds like you want to improve the performance going up hills?

@CapoDelToro Very cool, I may also buy it then. I had a guitar stand that looked similar that made a Bass guitar tip over quite a bit. You're saying that once you slide the legs out, it wont tip practically at all?

I didnt like how my bass guitar you tapped it lightly and it basically almost always fell over

I know, but I can't help it.

WHAT IS YOU ARE OW NAME? (the title written out, as is)

Yeah its weird, so many people are recieving their onewheels in miles in and around 250~270 but nothing below or above that. I don't understand how that works.

This isn't a great answer, but heres my rule of thumb.

When I go less than 12mph or very very local, I just ride normally (not recommended but these are my rules)

However, if its definitely more than that, new roads, unfamiliar, or possible cars, I ALWAYS WEAR a helmet, at LEAST one side with knee pads, elbow and one or both wrist pads.

Also this sounds really dumb but as non-athletic as I am, I did do martial arts lesson as a kid (ages go) and I'm trying to teach myself to roll INTO a fall rather than just fall and catch myself with my hands (rolling sucks but pretty much erases any chance of any major injuries if you're wearing anything thicker than a tshirt.

I have wiped out twice when I was a noob first time was not knowing proper dismount, then falling after a (wobble), and recently when I got a used onewheel that has a flat tire (more wobble)

Im so confused! This actually won't tip over? It totally looks like its asking to fall over unless its perfectly balanced like one of those jenga towers or even better, those stone towers you see in tourist areas
