snowsurfer, I'm very impressed. My board came with fangs or I'd have done the same thing, having a shop and liking to build stuff. They look just like mine. FYI, in 600+ miles the fangs have saved me twice and once not (the "not" think of running into a 2" high curb going up a steep hill, nose low, but they at least tried).

Why wait around? I bought a (+) less than a year ago with 86 miles on it for $1200.00 and have put over 600 miles on it. It already had a nice fender and fangs too. People buy these things, take a couple of falls and sell them. There's killer deals on Craigslist.

Shipping dates: Is the company that small? Is it run by a bunch of zoned out hippies? Man, they should have at least a couple hundred Pints in stock before even advertising, same day shipping. WTF?

Hey guys, whether or not to wear protective gear is a personnel choice. There's a dozen Onewheels in my neighborhood and not a single person wears a helmet. My next door neighbor has done over 5 K miles. So far...… so good. Safety last!

When I first started riding I'd get that warning ALL the time. I'd try to ignore it but it was still annoying. Here's what I did to fix it: I ditched my worn out $14.00 Walmart sneakers and stepped (way) up to $30.00 Walmart sneaks. No more msg's. Seriously.

The fangs have saved me twice and once not. Both saves were going uphill onto a sidewalk with a wheelchair transition and the nose touched, fangs rolled and saved my ass. The "not" time the transition (a ditch in the pavement going up a steep hill) was too much for the fangs and I went down and rolled with the punch. Minimal damage to me or the board. I hit the back of my head hard enough to draw a little blood but don't feel any dumber than normal so am not going to buy a helmet quite yet. 500 + miles so far. BTW, I'm 74 and have taken (exactly) 4 falls (so far) LOL.

@OneDan I'm like most of my ski buddy's. they never got a helmet till after their first concussion. This is my 65th year on the mountain (Mt. Hood) over 1,000 days with no helmet. So far...…. so good.

I bought my O/W used with fangs already installed, rode it 500 miles last summer, no falls and the fangs saved me twice, both times entering a steep transition onto a sidewalk. Last week I was running up to the store to get a six'er as I had just downed my last two beers. Going up a steep hill there's a transition (think 2" X 12" ditch) in the pavement I'd sort of forgotten about. I hadn't ridden in a couple months as it's winter in the northwest. The fangs did try to save me but didn't and I went down and rolled with the fall. Got an ass bruise from my wallet and hit the back of my head, but not much blood. I don't feel any dumber than usual so no brain damage. I'm 74 and can't afford that. There's 6-7 Onewheels in the neighborhood and if just ONE of them would ride with a helmet I would too.

Well...… I don't wear a helmet and fell on my head a couple dozen times. Other than that..... no.

I'm 74 and put over 500 miles on my Onewheel last summer and fall. In September at the Reno Air Races (flew myself and my Onewheel down from Hood River, Oregon in my Long EZ) and stayed at the Sands casino. I got busted by security three days in a row for riding around inside the casino. "Listen, I'm a guest here. Also I'm handicapped and this is how I get around." They didn't buy it. Since then I put a 6" X 6" handicap sticker on it. Might work.
