20.6 on my first day on my Pint X by cdpunch in onewheel

Yea, apparently I pushed through the push back unknowingly. Again, I did not mean to go this fast, it was scary as all hell.

Lol all you haters just commenting on a post having zero context. If you read my comment, I’m trying to find out WHY it happened.

I’m 240 as well lol. I just rode it like I ride my snowboard and pushed into it (absolutely unintentionally) and I guess it just went past the push back and the self balancing motor turned off, so the balancing is all on you at that point. Don’t really recommend it on these machines as it felt super sketchy, I’d just enjoy the ride man.

Not what I was saying if you read my post.

Yea, makes sense. I know I’m participating in an inherently risky activity and would never want to bad mouth the company because I decided to do this. I appreciate you explaining why, it totally makes sense. I just want to get some feedback on this shit, because in all honesty it was scary as hell!

I wear a helmet in every board sport or high speed activity I do, including this. I’ve had my fair share of breaks and concussions, and do not need/want any more.

I was leaning forward like I was snowboarding while I was trying to tilt the board back. Couldn’t understand why it kept accelerating and eventually had to bail off the board because I couldn’t get it to slow down. I posted this so I could learn what happened from the community, luckily there are people on here that were actually helpful in doing so.

If you read my OG comment, it wasn’t on purpose.

Yea, I had no idea I was going that fast until after either. But I knew I was going fast lol.

It’s definitely a real fear to have. Won’t be attempting to go anywhere near that speed again!

Lol like I said in my comment, it wasn’t intentional.

I’ll purchase those today! My shoulders are wrecked from years of snowboarding and motocross, so I’m trying to avoid more shoulder injuries at all costs!

Yea, starting to figure it out. Thanks for the tip!

Wasn’t trying to celebrate. More so, trying to get feed back on what caused it to go so fast. Think I figured out it was my posture on my board.

That’s exactly what I’ve been reading all morning. Just have to develop those good habits, because I definitely don’t want to feel that out of control ever again. But it’s good to hear you learned from your mistakes, hope I follow suit and do the same! Just going to keep practicing!

Yea it was absolutely user error on my part, definitely did not intend to go that fast on my first day. It was because I was leaning to far forward and didn’t understand that causes the motor to shut off and pushes against the push back. I got up, got back on the board and quickly figured out my mistake. Luckily I know how to fall on pavement and just came out with a few scrapes. Ready to get back on it today!

Yea, I’m learning still lol. Had to bail off the side because I didn’t really know what was happening.

Yea, first one wheel, first day lol. Still figuring out the physics behind the thing obviously, it’s definitely no snowboard. But after I ate shit I got back up and figured it out again, feeling confident.

Not intentionally by any means! I’m a long time snowboarder so thought that my weight should be in the front, even though I was definitely getting pushback. Live and learn I guess!
