Yeah its an incredible marathon. He has smashed out more miles than everyone else on the Leaderboard put together.

@jpsimons you can 'go light' on both feet at the same time and just move the front. Another option with the front is to pivot either toe or heal to move it around. As long as you are more than 1mph it won't shut off. Give it a try!

Unlikely, every case of a nose dive is different. They can be at slow speed or fast.

The common issue is the rider or conditions of the ride are asking the battery/ motor to exceed its capacity and the motor/battery protection circuit cuts the power.

Short version of @Telomere 's thorough response. It uses yaw and roll data and more importantly the rate of change of the yaw and roll, to know if you are carving or just rolling along straight. The controller changes the rate of wheel acceleration based on the chosen carve setting and possibly also where you are in the carve cycle. Very smart!

An accelerating wheel will tend to straighten direction, so slower acceleration mid or early in the carve will allow deeper carves.

Its a good thing. This is why the board needs to know Yaw and Roll, a simple algorithm that just looks at pitch to speed up and slow down, the yaw and roll data has no purpose.

Then throw in the goofy setting and it suggests FM's algorithm varies the acceleration rate depending if you are turning front side or back side.

@JFB nice one! Never stop learning. 👍

@JFB App needs to connect with board to register the miles. Then the App needs to register the miles with the FM server to maintain the day streak. If any of these fail then you lose your streak.

I used to check the Leaderboard after each ride day when I was chasing the top five to make sure all the connection worked. @HanahsDax is one of the few very determined individuals to maintain a daystreak. Kudos!

@Khayman all good friend. Floated home tonight after work and forgot all the days crap! Love the product. Despite the App. 🤩

@Khayman ok, whether its FM or Google Play, very few other Apps require the update as mandatory and the update can be deferred to later. Find it hard to believe Google Play would force the update.

I could not see anyway to use the App until the upgrade was completed.

Seems to work ok. Hate how they force the upgrade on you.

@kd6tav nosedives are complimentary.. no extra charge.
