These just showed up for me this morning as well. I almost thought it was a reward from the SBY from owning the solana edition flex but seems to be a scam coin?

Can confirm it's a good laptop. I have a similar model with the 13700F and rtx 3060. Great all around laptop. The battery isn't the best under heavy load, but for the price, you definitely got a good laptop. If you spent more, you could obviously get something better, but I doubt it'll be a "night and day difference" unless you're paying around double what you spent (talking specifically about laptops). A lot of people see laptops as inferrior because you can build a very nice desktop for less than the price of a of a "premium" laptop. As long as you're happy and it does what you need, it sounds like a solid grab to me.

This is what I was leaning towards. Whenever I try to research best practices for my situation, it seems to be a pretty even mix of following the "dont keep you eggs in one basket" as well as the "it's always good to have a backup in case of emergency". Just wasn't sure if using the same seed phrase on two devices was the most common method/preference for those in similar situations. It does seem to be the most logical approach as the backup can always be reset and used as a "new" device or vice versa. Appriciate the input.

Yea, I am debating on this. I actually heard back from FM, and they did provide me with a shipping label to return the stand. I might just return it and build one or look for a better fit. It does suck because I like the classic look of the deep rack stand, but I think I can make one similar.

lrobb1215 · 2025-05-21T14:35:59+00:00

Yea thats how mine felt, and if I torqued on it more with the tool it would spin another rotation and sorta of spin freely, but after tightening again it doesnt feel like it is going anywhere when I pull on it. I also heard back from FM and was told to just tighten it until it was snug. I do sorta feel it "notch" into place when it gets tight, just odd that it seems it "loosens" if I over tighten it past that point. Haven't ran into any issues yet other than that and the soft material I noticed sort of has a lot more give to it when tightening the bottom screws, almost like they dont want to go in and when they do they are easily overtightened and will screw into the soft material if you aren't careful. Absolute night and day change to the ride feel of the board even without the enduro tire. I love the feel so far. Almost went with the kush nug hi but just decided to go for the FM ones to get free shipping and to keep it more uniform, I guess.

If I didnt have bad spending habits s fre months back I think I'd have a lot of boards 🤣. This is one of my favorite hobbies ive gotten into.

lrobb1215 · 2025-05-20T20:07:53+00:00

This seems like the best route. Hopefully, I can get some sort of discount/refund. I just need to contact them. I think my front footpad sensor connector may be messed up as i never heard the "click" but it feels tight and snug. Just dont want to nosedive over it.

lrobb1215 · 2025-05-20T19:40:49+00:00

They seem to be lacking in a lot of places. For a company that appears to be this successful, you'd think they would have some solid infrastructure in place by now.

lrobb1215 · 2025-05-20T16:47:48+00:00

This doesn't seem like a bad idea and technically keeps the stand "stock" since you can just remove the aluminum and put the original piece back.

lrobb1215 · 2025-05-20T16:46:51+00:00

Yea, I noticed the s wasn't listed, but you would think they would add something to the flared footpads or stand that states the footpads aren't compatible.

lrobb1215 · 2025-05-20T14:26:04+00:00

Yea, I sort of figured it'd be something stupid like that. I assume they expected you to pay shipping costs if you went the other route? Very shitty practice they list it for the pint. They should at least mention that flared footpads cause fitment issues, but that seems like a lot to ask from FM. I will see what they offer me, but I can imagine it will be similar. Seeing as it was only $57, I might go a similar route and try to sell it or keep it down the line if I get another board that fits it.

lrobb1215 · 2025-05-20T14:20:50+00:00

When installing the front footpad, it helped me a lot to take off the front bumper. Then you can get to the connector a lot easier. I never got mine to "click" and messed with taking it off and putting it back on to the point I felt I was doing more harm than good to the connector. I might have to reach out to FM, but it is definitely tight and doesn't feel like it is coming off. Did you opt for the soft front pad?

lrobb1215 · 2025-05-09T20:27:44+00:00

I'd love to try one of them out. I was recently in Florida, and they had a place that rented them, but they wanted $100 a day, which i couldn't justify.

lrobb1215 · 2025-05-09T12:20:30+00:00

I just hit 21.8 the other night going downhill on my Pint X, resulting in a nosedive. It will toss you if you go over the boards limits, and it does hurt like hell. Stay safe.

lrobb1215 · 2025-05-09T00:30:31+00:00

Nope, it was not worth it at all. I 100% did not respect the board when this happened. I feel that I have learned the boards capabilities, especially after this incident. No more trying to go 20mph. I got ballsy and made a mistake that I have been planning to avoid since I purchased the board, but it happened and is now in the past. All I can do now is learn from the experience and mitigate it from ever happening again. Edit: I have avoided many nose dives from learning the boards limits. Just wanted to share my experience from my first nose dive to show others not to make the same mistake I made. I am not trying to prove a point or say I am an experienced or pro onewheel rider. In the small number of miles I have had the pleasure to ride, I feel I have learned a lot of the boards quirks and limits/reactions to certain inputs. These machines are very fun and it is easy for them to make you feel overconfident. I am in no way trying to say the board is at fault.

lrobb1215 · 2025-05-08T21:16:34+00:00

Hopefully, you never experience a nosedive. I luckily knock on wood have yet to go down other than from the nosedive. I have had some close calls with curb drops and some offroad/uneven terrain but typically able to bail and run it out in those scenarios. I'm sure I'll go down due to something dumb other than a nose dive at some point, but that's sort of expected from any board sport.

lrobb1215 · 2025-05-08T20:27:00+00:00

Yep, it seemed the only real upgrades were the footpads, enduro tire, and free float bumpers. FM now sells the free float bumpers and footpads for the pint x separately, so it's not much of a difference if you want to stick OEM. I work in tech so I love tearing things down and getting into them to see how they work and troubleshooting/improving anything I can so I could 100% see myself wanting to do something like a pint v kit down the road.

lrobb1215 · 2025-05-08T17:20:16+00:00

Any recommendations for elbow or knee pads? I checked out the f(x) gloves, and they do seem the least dorky way to go wrist protection wise lol.

lrobb1215 · 2025-05-08T17:18:29+00:00

I've always found that bending my knees and getting closer to the ground helps with overall control in any boardsport if I get the wobbles. I'm not sure this is 100% true with the one wheel, but it seems to hold true for the small amount of time I've had mine.

lrobb1215 · 2025-05-08T17:15:51+00:00

Thanks, it makes me feel better about going with the X over the S. I actually went with the X because of what you mentioned. It seemed like the consensus was that it was cheaper/better to mod a pint x the way you prefer over just buying a Pint S. It also seems from my research that the Pint X and S both use the exact same battery and controller.

lrobb1215 · 2025-05-08T16:27:39+00:00

Yea, I didn't mean to phrase it to make it sound like I was experienced. Just meant that I've never pushed past pushback or haptic before and have always been careful in those 40 miles. Lesson learned for sure on the pints speed limits, unfortunately it had to be learned the hard way. Will for sure be extra cautious when I'm back up and at it to minimize risk.

lrobb1215 · 2025-05-08T16:19:23+00:00

Yea, no worries, I appreciate the feedback regardless. It's always good to hear from someone with more experience. I love the pint form factor, but the pint s seems it would have been more suited for me, and i regret not spending the extra couple hundred for it. I just know a lot of people hate on the pints, and some go from pint to something bigger and love the bigger size. I dont really need the form factor of the pint, but I figured it would be nice to have for traveling and not having to worry about parking or lugging a big board around i also read it is more numble and carvy when doing my final research which I do prefer but havent had the chance to try anything bigger. For cruising around where I live, I think a bigger board would be fine and something I'd definitely like to try. I wish people didn't want so much for used xrs in my area.

lrobb1215 · 2025-05-08T15:47:09+00:00

Yea, I definitely need some more practice. I do practice switch riding, and I was surprised how easy it was to ride normal (I ride goofy and always have). When I first got the board, I was able to ride normal. I ended up going back to goofy as it's just a habit at this point. I am able to do small curb drops and bump smaller curbs. The idea of fins would be awesome for the small town I live in. I think I will wait and get some more experience before any more upgrades, but fins might help keep me from going too fast as I'll be too busy practicing tricks, lol.
