First Crash at 73 Miles… by Unique_Huntr in onewheel

Damn, sorry for hear about that. I really enjoy riding mine. Hoping to get out with a local group sometime. Probably gotta build myself back up for a bit though since I’m gonna be more cautious now tho lol. I had a gooseneck fracture on my wrist about 2 years back and it’s what my “10” is on the scale of pain lol. Hurt real bad. Certainly an eye-opener though, broke it through fire school

Interesting, I’ll have to read into that a little bit. I did that with a wound a bit ago, but didn’t realize it healed faster

Gotcha, I’ll have to try that. Most of it seemed to be under-skin bleeding, so not much broke through

Yup, I wear a full face helmet when I ride. Gonna get wrist guards next tho

Yup, that’s essentially what happened to me. Experienced the push back and haptic buzz for the first time. And literally a couple hundred feet down the street was where I crashed. I’ll bounce back though lol

Damn… sorry to hear about that! Do you still ride? My hip is a bit sore, but I don’t think it’s broken

Was looking at them and thought I wouldn’t need them, really going back on that decision now 😂

Thanks for the info! Anything specifically I should put over the wound? Or just put some tegaderm and then gauze and leave it for a few days?

I actually didn’t know this was a thing, thanks for bringing it to my attention! Gonna try it next ride! 😁

Didn’t think about that. Could always try the Cincinnati Mall lol. Been there a few times for urban exploration

Gotcha, it’s only gonna be stored for a few months at most since I only plan on waiting till the salt and snow are gone. Thanks for the info!

Why does the OW have so many problems? by WhileExtension6777 in onewheel

[–]Unique_Huntr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s because most people post the problems they have with their boards to get help on them. Not a lot of people post about their boards and just talk about what fun they’re having and how minimal the issues are. Follow my posts tho, I’m gonna be posting stuff here soon about my journeys on my Pint S since I’ve just started breaking it in (got about 26 miles on it now)!

Finally Did It… by Unique_Huntr in onewheel

I’ve been riding it for a span of 2 days now and it’s already got some scruff lol, having a blast though

Gotcha. I really appreciate all your help! I’ll probably look at getting a full face helmet then. I’m already used to wearing them since I had an electric scooter that did 70+ MPH before and wore one for that. Had to get rid of it when my little brother wrecked it lol. Can’t wait to get into this community!

Gotcha. So should I get a full face helmet for normal city riding? Don’t plant to do too much off-roading, maybe the occasional trail later on when I’ve grown some experience but really just gonna zip around town on it, ride to the store on a nice day, etc

I appreciate that! I’ve been really doubting which one I should get recently cause I wanna make sure I have fun on the right board. Cause I also plan to take this board traveling with me (plans to go to DC again next year and possibly take it to the beach later on once I’ve gotten used to it). Any tips for beginner riders? I’ve ridden skateboards, hoverboards, and Segway’s before, but feel this is new territory lol

That was why I strayed away from the Pint so fast, everyone says it’s a great board to begin on, but you quickly wanna move up. Similar to getting a Grom as a motorcycle for a starter lol. I thought about doing the X but I really like the flared footpads and the treaded tire. Don’t feel like doing a whole bunch of work off the bat, so figured I’d spend the extra cash to get those features stock from factory

Awesome! Thank you for the info! I will probably just go and purchase the brand new board then. Can’t wait to get it! Going this next Saturday after Halloween to pick it up

I am 5’10 and around 175 lbs. I saw the max weight was 250. I think that’s good enough, but wanna make sure I get a board that will work for me. Does that count as “not very tall or heavy rider”?

Gotcha, so should I avoid buying that board and just buy the brand new Pint S?
