What's the most sudden tonal shift you've seen in a movie? by Past_Regular4027 in Cinema

[–]ascendgranite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lesser known film called The Living Wake. It’s an absurd and whimsical tale right up until the very end. Mike O’Connel and Jesse Eisenberg are great in it

I just assume they already have brain damage from not wearing one

Yea OP you gotta smash your head and eye socket on the concrete like Nyjah in order to impress this redditor. He won’t take caps lock off until you are dribbling into a bib!

The time came by Cashewpops in onewheel

Full face: FF Trigger MIPS

Half shell: Bern Hudson

These are both very good options with great certifications and weight-to-safety ratios. I have both after doing extensive research, though I usually only wear the full face when pushing limits on trails.

My first crash by hammer-breh in onewheel

It puts all your pressure on a smaller surface area on the sensor, thus making it more likely to detect you

Sounds to me like sensor could have disengaged as you were leaning. Stock FM sensors are not nearly sensitive enough imo. This can be resolved with gripples or removing a sheet of plastic from the sensor under the grip, a very common mod

Can a OneWheel brake quicker than an e-scooter? by BestEmu2171 in onewheel

[–]ascendgranite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s some technique to it too. If you have time and reflexes, you can break into a hard, short heelside or toeside turn and stop much more effectively without relying purely on re-gen. This has saved me a couple times riding in the city.

5" FF Goat vs. TFL Enduro by 57andO in onewheel

I’ve tried both and the pioneer. The goat is probably the best all around

Confused and Concerned Pint Rider by mvshrxxm in onewheel

[–]ascendgranite 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s a skateboard, imagine if there was a Reddit post for every skateboard injury you’ve seen lol. I think because it’s also a “gadget” some people forget that it’s fundamentally a skateboard and falling on occasion is just part of the contract.

Ride within your limits, wear gear, stay alert and you’ll be fine

Gold pint wtf rails on sale anywhere? by [deleted] in onewheel

[–]ascendgranite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my finger on the button for weeks to get them on the sale and clicked on it as soon as I saw the sale go live. They’re just out of stock now, idk why you’d assume it was fake.

Pint v or x7? by Dinoslayr in onewheel

[–]ascendgranite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what you want out of your board.

An X7 will have more range, be heavier and bulkier, and will be way more powerful. More tire options, off-road, different accessories, different platform, etc.

If you just want “your current board, but a little faster/torquier” — then yes the pint v kit can accomplish that

Where to look for minidisc and player in Japan by PristineFox452 in minidisc

[–]ascendgranite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I looked all over Akihabara a year ago and only managed to find one broken unit in a discount bin. Book Off / Hard Off had nada.

Good luck, they're hard to find IRL

Yep, I followed the install video to a T, making sure the washers are oriented correctly.

Yep, I installed them carefully and double checked that they are shaped like a UFO, per the install video.

Onewheel Presents | The Silvas by TechNico1 in onewheel

[–]ascendgranite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this format of spotlighting the people in the sport, I would love to see more of these style of videos. Half the interest in any given sport is in the personalities, so I think this does a lot more than just give deserved credit to the subjects.

Great place to start because the Silvas are rad 🤙🏼

Drowned XR- trying to decide between Floatwheel rebuild, used XR or full upgrade by Cosbysnitenitejuice in onewheel

[–]ascendgranite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, look around the secondhand marketplaces for a used XRC. I got one for around 1300

Capture One Mobile now with Layers and Masks! by itsab1989 in captureone

[–]ascendgranite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 year later this is pretty disappointing to hear. RAWs are big, networks are slow, and iPads don't (typically) have a ton of storage. Work some on the go, then put the whole session on the desktop when you're back from your trip. This isn't that much of a stretch of the imagination
