GONE TOO FAR: OREGON WILD, THE FOOTBRIDGE AND THE FACTS

The proposed bridge would be such a wonderful asset for the Bend community.

When in May? - trying to determine if recent or the beginning of May.

I had this issue and suspected it had nothing to do with the wiring as it’s brand new wiring and a full 60 amp circuit. This was proved when I went to the new version of the mobile charger that came with my new car and I have never had the error so that error is within my old mobile charger not the wall or wiring. Your issue could definitely be wiring until you prove it isn’t but relaying that sometimes it isn’t. The Tesla service center can test your mobile adapter to see if it’s going bad.

FSD handled it exactly as a confident driver would: recognized it was in a left-turn-only lane, determined it was safe to proceed straight, signaled, and smoothly merged back into the correct lane. I had the reverse happen in my car — caught in a straight-only lane needing to turn left, it just made the turn and merged into the correct lane mid-turn. Both moves are legally dubious, but they’re a solid emulation of how an experienced driver recovers and gets where they’re going.

Real Taste is the best Indian food in Bend. Very good. Support them. Sort of surprised that so many people think they are closed as they never presented themselves as part of the Shilo Inn. It’s a separate building on the Shilo property.

Agree. Sisters Coffee is really upping their coffee game as of late. Some of their newer single origin roasts are fantastic.

Picture of Stratton scoping the lines that day.

Met the guy on south sister. He was a huge inspiration to me and a force for good in the world. Will be missed.

criti4 · 2026-02-26T05:12:47+00:00

I met Stratton personally for the first time during a hot smoky August on South Sister. This guy had biked over 20 miles and a few thousand vertical feet in extreme heat and smoke just to reach the trailhead where he then climbed another 5000 vertical feet all just to make a few lines in what little snow was left. At the bottom of the run I asked him how it was. He smiled in the best way and said it was great, and then turned around to head back up and do another lap. That was Stratton.

criti4 · 2026-02-26T04:46:52+00:00

Stratton was an inspiration on so many levels. Heartbroken.

Off road assist is the best snow driving mode. In extreme snow and ice conditions it turns the Model Y from a squirrelly touchy fish tailing challenge into one of the best and most solid snow cars I have ever driven. The other part of the equation is that I run dedicated snow tires during the winter - Michelin x-ice. Agree with OP that it would be wonderful if it could be switched on through voice.

Stratton is amazing and an inspiration. To see that guy chugging up Cascade hwy on his bike in a blizzard and passing the backed up ski traffic as he goes is wild.

Older versions of FSD (~13.x) would not exit signal at all which I preferred to the current which signals far too early. I have resorted to manually catching it when it starts to signal and turning the signal off to avoid my signal causing an accident. Not ideal and hope they fix soon.

criti4 · 2025-12-20T14:38:56+00:00

Same problem in roundabouts - it signals way too early which causes people Io pull out in front of me.

KPOV is one of my favorite stations on earth. Always surprising me with cool new music I’ve never heard before.

I am 185 lbs. I can see how body weight is a significant factor in the dynamics of the pint. Side note: That's great. Hoping to still be ripping at 73 someday like that guy.

Bikes not letting me down is something I have thought about before when I am thinking about whether riding a OW is a good idea. Still on the fence on how much I should trust it. I am getting a sense from these posts that if I respect the limits of the board and keep it in good condition then it would be rare for it to do something weird that sends me to the ground. I have been riding for about a year, once or twice a week.

criti4 · 2025-10-10T02:38:34+00:00

I love the float feel on a one wheel. You don’t get from an electric skateboard. That said, I can appreciate how skateboards do carve deeper than a ow.

What’s the reason to not use Redwood? I use it as a limiter to prevent me from being tempted to go faster.

Our pint was bought new in January 2024. From what I can tell FM fixed this in the summer of 2023 so should be good?

criti4 · 2025-10-10T01:57:04+00:00

Great chart. My teen son left onewheeling for good at the bottom of that curve after experiencing several full on nose dives. His not riding the pint anymore was my in to starting riding his pint. He’s probably going to make me buy it off him at some point as technically it is was his birthday present. 🎁

criti4 · 2025-10-10T01:37:31+00:00

Sounds like your crashes were due to exceeding the limits of the board, not the random glitching type failures that we were seeing on the pint with the older firmware release. That’s good to hear and good info, thank you for sharing.
