    • RE: Your Pint Shipping Date

      @Mark-Vlogs said in Your Pint Shipping Date:

      What protective gear do you all wear?

      I wear wrist guards (already saved me skinned up hands), elbow pads, and knee pads. I also won't ride in shorts. Right now I'm using my motorcycle helmet . . . . no place in town sells a skate/bike helmet in my size. So until I get one of those ordered (in no hurry, the MC helmet offers a lot more protections) I look kind of funny.

      And here is why I where all the protection :D

    • RE: Why not turn the Onewheel off?

      I'll have to see if I can find them. And I have to chuckle. Board public transportation? I live in a very rural area. Entire county population is around 20k people. Public transportation is when you walk on public sidewalks :D

      @a_onekatie said in Onewheel backpack:

      @b0ardski I don’t even want a “bag” TBH. I need to design some sort of sling or harness I think...

      In the facebook onewheel owners group, someone has a picture of them using one of these:

      Slip a loop over each end of the OW and then sling in on a shoulder like a purse or bag.

      @waters10 My ship date started the 27th, then to the 26th, and yesterday went to the 24th. Maybe mine will get closer next week to. :D

    • RE: Commuting on the Pint

      @a_onekatie

      Once I get mine and figure out how to ride it . . . . there's a guy in town does custom wrapping and painting. I'll figure out something for him to put on the fender on mine.

      My boss has named my board "Denied".

      She says that's because it's what she's going to say when I call in sick with a broken hip or leg.

    • RE: Onewheel Photoshoot Thread...

      Mine would be boring. Older, heavier guy just learning. So far my longest ride has been from my porch to the end of my driveway. :D

    • RE: Is there a secret I haven't discovered yet

      @Glyph
      Toe side is the one I'm having very little problem with, heal side slows me to a stop and with the simple stop enabled I start to roll backward and shuts the board off (I was doing it with simple stop off) but I figure I'll learn forward riding first then try and add backwards later.

      And yes I am using knee and elbow pads and wrist guards. Unfortunately my armored motorcycle gloves won't fit under the wrist guards. And I'm also wearing my motorcycle helmet.

      Once I get the driveway down to a science . . . I'll move on to a bigger area. I'm taking it nice and slow. I have it set on "Redwood". The lowest (??) setting.

    • RE: Simplestop

      @Franko said in Simplestop:

      @stinkyface do you know of any videos on different stopping methods? i'm still figuring out how to look super natural stopping on my Pint with SimpleStop enabled, but i definitely am more used to it than the thought of rolling backwards and riding fakey!

      I know the feeling on the "is he going to die when he stops" simple stop dismount. I'm still working on it. Only on day 6 of riding a OW.

    • RE: Winter in near ❄️ what’s your ⚙️

      Heated jacked???? 20 degree weather? I don't pull out the heavy coat here in Utah until it's a minus before the number. (well not for riding, but general use :D )

    • RE: Pint charge port cap

      I pulled out the calipers, took some measurements. Sat down and designed this little "Thumbs Up" cap. If it hits on that side hard enough to damage the pins . . . I've got more to worry about than that :D.

    • RE: OW Owners: Injury Survey

      I'm part of the old brittle bones group (aka Old Man Club -- and I've got the shirt to prove it :) ). I've only had a sore arm. Crash was my fault. Looked at one obstacle knew I didn't have the skills to ride over it, and chose option B without looking close at it. Tire fell into a hole and play superman did I. Friend of mine thought I broke my ankle for the screen grab I took from the video, but my foot was fine.
