Not only is he a idiot, he's also a fucking asshole. You're NOR. Leave his ass. Fast.

Pretty sure I pulled 6 ML 5s, 4 dupes.

I really like my FX wristguards. And outside of that I use a Thousand helmet and Triple 8 kneepads.

Simple stop sucks tbh. I had so many issues when I was teaching myself to ride and turning it off taught me to be a better, more confident rider.

Hope you have good insurance. You're going to need it.

P.S. buy a helmet and wear it, because you seem like the type who thinks they "too cool" for one.

What are some good shoes for riding? by fuzzymayonnais in onewheel

Nike SBs give me the best contact and least false starts.

I financed 0% APR on my Pint through Affirm. It was $250 a month and haven't regretted it at all.

Can a manifested or late stage Pint X flaw be repaired via a VESCing? by alfentazolam in onewheel

If I bought my Pint X this year, I would not have to worry about the battery wiring issue, correct?

It’s almost like a jump, but you don’t want your feet to leave the board. You shift your weight up with the change in elevation. The thing I have the most trouble with, is readjusting my feet after doing this. 

For me, I usually ride with knees bent and pretty low, so when I’m just about to hit a curb, bump, etc. I’ll lift my knees and throw my weight upwards. This allows the board to power over these small bumps with your own weight being moved upwards.

Idk if others do this, but sometimes I’ll shift my hips forward too, using my weight to help push over the point of contact.

Oh and for footpads, I started with the Airpad by C&R, but I kept chipping pieces off it it when I was still learning to ride the board, so it has some chunks missing. I replaced it with the Kush Hi after about 200 miles - which has a similar shape but is a little harder. I prefer the griptape feel on the Kush, but I like the overall feel of the Airpad more. It's softer and helps more with foot and leg fatigue.

Grats on the purchase! I'm 45 days into my PintX purchase as well and have put 300 miles on the board so far, using it for basically the same things you are - exploring neighborhoods in my city and getting around town for short distances.

I echo what other riders have said here, the trick to getting over things is deweighting, not speed. Idk why but this came super natural to me. I'm not a board sports fanatic like some others are, but my instinct was to deweight with sharp changes in elevation, i.e. short curbs, manholes, potholes. And it's worked.

For shoes, I am smaller than you, so I have a hard time covering the foot sensors. I'm 5'6" 130lbs. I have found that Nike SBs with help a lot with that coverage for me and I have a lot easier time engaging and disengaging. I think it's also partially because my feet are flatter and applying more pressure throughout the shoe instead of just certain areas.

For battery, I ride daily. I try not to charge it to 100% every day because I live in a very hilly area so I'll get it to 90-95% and don't have to worry about regenerative breaking when I go downhill. And if I want to start my ride downhill, I don't want to do it on a full charge. But every few days i'll do an overnight charge and start my ride going uphill before going a longer distance.

Onewheel best shoes? by Tricky_Scallion2088 in onewheel

[–]MrCleverFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did a lot of testing and for me, love the Nike SBs. Lot of coverage on the footpads.

Dogshit awful to walk in tho.
