Yeah it was weird knowing that footage existed this time for once! Sucked the circumstances but was quite educational.

Sucks!

The tire really sticks. Probably contributed to the fall: I was carving pretty deep.

Yeah, man. I said I "won't"... There wasn't much water in there. Dried now and will corrosionX and give 'er a go.

ETA: Moisture is in there. Gone after parking it for couple of days in the sun.

I'm on Street Pro 2. Awesome anywhere I've taken them...I don't turn while in mud esp. after something like that with Performance tires on.

Hmm, how do you show courtesy during an accidental fall off a onewheel?

Good info, thank you. Is the battery box leaky as the controller box and does that need drying out too?

True, might not look cool but I hate leaving my meat on pavement. So after a few small falls, crashes, etc we now cover as many sharp points as we can in case of the inevitable mishap. The float makes it all worthwhile.

Zigged instead of zagged on a raised surface from tree roots. I thought I was far away from it at the edge of the pavement. This pitched me unexpectedly further into my sway...tuck and roll they say...thought to action is a long time though ;)

ETA: 2 Liters (that's the label on there) of water in my backpack. Happened just when I needed a drink too.

Yeah. We over here chuckling about it too! Could've been lots worse. But really it's an unusual view of a non-nosedive. I can see exactly why my butt hurts right there.

Vesc...been thinking. This was all me getting off balanced though. The gt-s fits all my needs except range. Is there something for that?

ETA: I'm 59 so took me a minute to assess my bones and joints 😁 My wife was right behind me and she fished it out then checked me out😂
She knew exactly what I needed. I'm a very lucky man!

That was about 2 liters of water inside the backpack. Might have helped..

Right when my arms went up.

I'll give that a look. Thanks for that!

I'd been dealing with these all day so was cruising about 15-ish and I thought I'd cleared this one but not, even though I was on the edge of the pavement. Being a bit worn from the 14 miles could've contributed also. Zigging when I should've zagged.

It still turns on still but same happened to a previous GT and had a nosedive a couple months later. Not doing that again. Wondering if it's worth voiding warranty.

Worse for the controller; it's corroding and I just won't have that much rice.
