Thanks bro. Yeah I put a lot of work into this one. Plus I had a friend with a nice camera help me out with shooting the footage, so that really helped. Also, I upgraded my editing software. Glad you enjoyed it.
This is so high quality video. The filming, music and voice over made me feel like I was watching some sort of documentary. You just earned yourself a sub, looking forward to your coming videos.
Sir, We shall start by talking about your cinematography. Completely on point, every shot moves with you or around you so as to make us want to see more. The lighting is fantastic as well considering you picked golden hour. I recently got a onewheel v1 while waiting for my pint and have been debating the dji osmo pocket as a camera so seeing you use one definitely helps boost the confidence in its abilities. The voiceover was super clean, no pops, rustles or heavy breathing. I commend you on your versatility between the machines you rode, being able to showcase how they can be pushed to limits but also able to recover from pushing them past their limits. This is a perfect example of when you see the passion and hard work of content creators really shine. 10/10 would recommend.
Sean C. Thanks so much. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah, both are amazing boards and very different from one another. I hadn’t really seen any reviews comparing these boards and so I thought it would be nice to do something different. Plus it’s something I would’ve appreciated seeing if I were contemplating buying one of these or picking up a second board. Reading about specs is helpful of course, but getting insight on what the actual ride experience is more valuable in my opinion. Thanks for watching.
Really nice vid man! got a little dizzying at the start of the GT section but apart from that it was great! Love the faceless presentation, your videos are inspiring dude!
Did your Lacroix come super stiff? I got the DSS50+ recently, and have always heard the carve is crazy good. I haven't really been able to turn on it, lol. I've heard that I just need to break it in, and can adjust the Allen wrench trucks. Just wondering on your experience :D
RJTDrummer Yeah you will notice after riding it for a while that it will loosen up in a good way. I found that after about 30-50 miles (sorry I don’t know exact numbers) that my board felt way more carvy. We actually have 2 LaCroixs. One is mine and one is my wife’s. Although I have yellow blocks in the front and orange in the back and she has all yellow since she weighs much less, mine is older and thus more carvy. Her’s is starting to get much better now but there was quite a notable difference at first. One word of caution is that before the blocks have been broken in they will be more stable at higher speeds. This is important to note so that you don’t get surprised riding high speed as they loosen up more they you’re used to causing you to fall. You should be fine as long as you aren’t wreck-less, but just be careful. Enjoy the ride bro and thanks very much for watching.
Guess I'm taking the Lacroix out today. Great video! Such a fun board. Also picked up a Mini X the other week and it complements the Lacroix perfectly. Much easier to carry around and you get that maneuverability that you don't really get with such a big/wide board with AT tires. I also agree on your onewheel thoughts. It's a cool thing but the carving just doesn't really compare to a nice longboard setup and the speed is just a bit low. Never really understood the diehard community it has.
Captain Clutch Thanks for your positive feedback. Sounds like you have a really sweet board collection. I used the have a Riptide R1 Elite. It is nice to have boards with different styles and capabilities. I wish I could keep all the boards I’ve owned but I simply can’t afford that. Nice to try them out though. Ride safe bro. Glad you enjoyed watching.
Man the bamboo gt can carve way better than I thought. That's the one draw back to my current DIY board, but atleast I can upgrade the trucks later on. Great video!
Justin Bara thanks for watching and for the sub! So my jacket is a actually a 686 snowboarding jacket. I wear an armored mesh jacket underneath for more legit protection. The 686 is more for the cooler weather I was in that day. I do love the way it looks to though, and it’s got nice pocket options. Unfortunately this jacket is like 7 years or more old so you might have a tough time finding one. Hope that info helps though.
What I like about the onewheel is extactly what you said: It’s built like a tank. I don’t have to worry for the most part about damaging parts. They’re replaceable for a cheaper price if you choose from one of the great third party options for parts and accessories.
It's pretty amazing. Try to see if you can demo one or borrow a friend's if possible. I prefer the Lacroix for its super hard carving ability and its stability at higher speeds but the Onewheel is a very unique feeling. I also like the app and integrated lights that come stock with the Onewheel. Thanks for watching btw.
@@TommyLuptak It has digital shaping. Delerium is just one of the stiffest profiles. You can setup custom ones. I use Delerium for trails and Mission mostly on long road rides. Just get one of you are thinking about it. Best thing I own
@@seanc.5310 I've been into electric propulsion for 9 years now. my Mountain Bicycle reaches 50mph easily :) But I also Land board with a big kite on a MBS Mountain board and Kite Surf in the ocean. My MBS Board closely resembles the LaCroix. Being a builder of my own electric propulsion vehicles, I can see that the LaCroix is no joke. But I see lots of One Wheels going around town and at the beach. It's getting popular. Do I really need another "THING" lol....... probably lol :)
Beautiful production man, this video is chill af. It's obvious that you like carving on the LaCroix better because your Onewheel skills are found wanting. The Onewheel is a carving machine, limited only by the ability of the rider.
Hey bro thanks for watching. True, I love the carve on the Lacroix and I am newer to the onewheel. It's amazing to see what some veteran riders can do on the onewheel. I guess I personally just prefer 4 wheels to 1. You're right though that the onewheel is an awesome board and that under the feet of a very experienced rider you can carve it up. I think the feeling you get, the ride experience, is super different between the two. It's really only my personal preference for the Lacroix's carve. It's subjective and at the end of the day I just hope people are able to enjoy watching my videos and are a little bit better informed on the different options available. Ride safe bro.
TSG pass helmet. I really like it myself I think I'll be selling it. I'm actually selling all the boards and gear. I don't want to buy I need the money at this time. Feel free to let me know if you are in the market for anything. Thanks so much for watching. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the video.
@@fsflip3111 We had the originals and now we have the XRs. I have tried the pint and I don't see the appeal of it. The XR goes 18 miles on a charge and is really powerful. I put the flight fins on a bolt on fender and I feel super secure flying off of curbs and hopping over little holes and stuff. Great board.
@@fsflip3111 If I could only have 1 board I would grudgingly take the XR because even though it's not as fun as a summrrboard (nothing could be), it's loads of fun and it's really practical to jump on and run the the hardware store or to get a few groceries or a haircut or something. It is really casual for flying around at over 15mph and even going offroad and stuff. Luckily I can have as many electric boards as I want because there is absolutely nothing as fun as my summrrboard! But it takes a lot of hours of practice to get good on a summrrboard. As for a solid longboard....I can't imagine why anyone would want one.....but that's just me
YanzoDaDon Thanks bro. Yeah I wish I had the time to make and upload more videos, it’s tough to find the time though. I hope to put out some more content soon. Thanks for watching!
Glad you enjoyed the video. That jacket is 686 brand. It's actually one of my older snowboarding jackets. I wear it over my armored mesh jacket on colder days.
Good question. I actually want to do a review of the TSG Pass helmet in the near future. I personally really like mine. I haven’t used it in the summer heat yet though. It may be a bit hot in the summer months. We’ll see. I haven’t had mine a full year yet. I do like it overall though and safety is super important to me so I think it’s good option. Kinda bulky though to just carry around when you’re not wearing it. If you’re rolling at over 20 mph though I personally like the idea of a full-face helmet and the protection it offers. I also like that it cuts down on wind noise significantly too. I’ll go more in depth in the review. Hope that helps in the meantime though. Thanks for watching.
thanks for the reply, finding it difficult to find a good helmet. Touch wood haven't fallen off yet but you hear these horror stories of people falling on their face. It just looks over kill seems silly to where a full face but guess when you do fall be glad you was wearing it
Lee Speirs Yeah if you ever fall you’ll be very thankful for a good helmet. To me it’s just not worth the risk. Helmets can be a bit irritating at times but no where near as bad as a life altering injury or death. The TSG is a pretty solid option in my opinion.
Awesome! I much rather see comparison vids than unboxing reviews. I kiteboard on the beach with a MBS mountain board. I also kiteboard on the ocean. I see lots of One wheels on the beach. But the LaCroix looks more like my MBS. Hmmmmmmm this video has me thinking lol. Thank you for a great production.
Tommy Luptak I don’t know if you’d be interested but I’m actually selling one of my LaCroixs. I love these boards and really don’t want to sell them but I need the money so I have to. Such is life I suppose... If you’re interested in a LaCroix that is in excellent condition for an excellent price then hit me up. Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
The 1wheel: does the feeling of the tire in the middle of the board go away?...seems like it would feel odd to straddle over it all the time?? gr8t vid btw
The wheel is the pivot, like the board is hovering around there. It's super floaty. You don't feel much most of the time. I've ridden with the Trampa crew and except for the speed I'm riding everything they're riding in the main. Different game. But still carvy street/offroad fun
You missed one thing about the onewheel - it has a mobile app where you can choose a different mode which can give higher speed, better and smoother stability, etc. You can also create your personal. If you try it you fill fall in love with it.
jasen uzunov You are correct. I didn’t talk about that in this video. I chose not to include it because I wanted to keep the video reasonably short and I feel the app deserves it’s own video. I also felt that there are other videos out already that are very well done. You bring up a good point though and mentioning it probably would have been a good idea. Sorry I missed that and thanks for your feedback and for watching.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I used to own one of the kaly boards for a bit. It was one of his older models and I have not tried the newest 2.0 version so I can't speak from ride experience. Just in my opinion I prefer the way the deck and trucks feel on the Lacroix over the Kalynyc. I actually did get a chance to ride the new lacroix nazare lonestar board and it's pretty amazing. It has a similar feel to my Lacroix but it is even more powerful and very stable. I will be putting out a video about it as well as an interview I had with Alex the creator soon. So to answer your question I personally would go with a lacroix because I love the truck setup and deck feel. Of the 3 newer models coming out I can't imagine you'd be disappointed with any of them. But if you like the feel of a Kalynyc then I'm sure you'd love that board as well. Neither one is cheap so if you can try them first that's the best of course but I know a lot of people don't have access. Hope that helps and feel free to ask me any further questions if need be.
@@yoursource3170 thank you so much for replying and giving me feed back and cant wait for you're next vidoe and if I don have anymore questions i will ask
Nice video, yeah I wish my Onewheel could cruise at 20 like it does at 15, my GTX has a motor issue, waiting on a replacement - if the Lacroix had been released earlier, I wouldn’t have purchased the GTX - like you said though, when everything is working well, the Evolves are a great ride
I've actually never rode even a regular skateboard but I'm looking to get an e skateboard for commuting and I'm actually considering the Lacroix Jaws. I know it's a powerful machine so I will definitely ease into it slow till I get the hang of it but I want something that rides nice and stable with good speed and acceleration to keep up with traffic
You made a nice opinion piece, plus you went to Montreal by canal Lachine for footage, great video! I'm going to rent a onewheel in San Diego before I buy one. I wish I could rent a LaCroix too.
Thanks for your comments. Glad you enjoyed watching. I agree with you, it would be really nice if you can try these boards out before buying. If you went to Montreal I bet you Alex would probably let you demo a Lacroix. You might also want to check to see if any riders in your area are willing to let you take a ride on theirs. There's quite a different feeling between riding the onewheel and the lacroix. Sometimes people don't have that option though and that's one of the main reasons I made this video. Have fun with your onewheel rental and ride safe.
cool. i have a one wheel and a boosted mini x, at first i didnt like the one wheel, but when i wanna off road/ trail ride its my choice, Also that dog knew what it was. he wanted you to run it i cant wait to get a dog
I’ve got almost 1,000 miles on my XR & had it for about 4 months lol. I can’t wait for the next gen, where hopefully it’ll have 25+ mile range, suspension, & cruzing speeds of 20mph, so a top speed bump of 25mph... hopeful, but the electric unicycle & electric skate boards are all around there in specs, so it a possibility!
I'm right around 250 miles on 3rd month. I agree, if they upgrade the speed, power, range, suspension, that's an instant buy. I'm gonna get a long board soon to try it out.
Esk8's pushed 40mph over two years ago. onewheel could push 35 if they wanted. a carbon fiber super esk8 that goes over 35 mph and has a 35mile range costs less then a machined metal single motor onewheel and its sad i feel like its a rip off and greedy despite a cool product
@@liammeigs4815 not sure how you’d fit another motor in a onewheel 😂 but I get what you’re saying. That said I skipped the next gen onewheel and got a motorcycle instead 😂🤘🏽
I personally have never found a hill that the Lacroix couldn't flatten. Evolve is also strong but not as much and since the battery is much smaller your range will be more of an issue than with the Lacroix. The onewheel isn't a bad hill climber but I wouldn't say that it's where that board shines. If you have a lot of hills then Lacroix is the way to go in my opinion.
They are coming out with a new model that I believe will be available for order June 19th. I'm not sure of how long delivery will take though.. They have a few pics of their new board on their Instagram if you want to check it out. There's still a lot of info on the way though. If it's something I feel like I want to upgrade to then I may think about selling one of my current boards.
@@showlovespreadlove good question. I can't say for sure but I would think it will be more expensive than their current models. In speaking with Alex from Lacroix that's what he eluded to. I know they are looking to have even higher specs and possibly more premium build materials. Since the current board is already to notch and not cheap, I wouldn't be surprised if the new one is at our around 3k USD. I guess we should find out really soon though.
That turning radius on the LaCroix is surprising. Kind of a deal-breaker. I have had the OneWheel XR since summer 2018 and like the simplicity of no controller and the magical floaty feeling. However, you can absolutely not speed on it! Going beyond max. rated speed just causes nosedive without hardly any warning. I've had more than one suspected scaphoid fracture as a result of pushing the OneWheel too far. I highly recommend Flexmeter D30 wristguards and Bern Watts or similar medium speed helmet. 12-15 mph to the store is fine. Lugging the board around the store is a bit annoying. I have had the Boosted Stealth since early 2020 (right before they closed) and absolutely love it. Using the remote to both slow to a halt (and hill hold) as well as throttling further back for reverse is so handy for 3-point turns. I went 8 miles once without ever having to get down. In fact, sometimes I relax and loosen up by swaying back and forth doing tricks and burnouts. Reverse is important to me. BUT, it has only 85mm wheels. Wooden bridges are doable but no fun. It is an absolutely beautifully designed board and a real shame the company went out of business. If they were still around and making an AT version, I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Just this week bought the Evolve GTR and am honestly underwhelmed. Responsiveness in GTR mode meets or exceeds the Boosted Stealth, but the remote takes some getting used to. From what I've read, the trick is to never ever drop the remote or else the separate braking button could randomly engage braking at high speed. The acceleration curve is VERY saggy in lower modes and almost too touchy in GTR mode. Lack of reverse bothers me. Every time I hit a dead-end, I have to get off, pick the thing up or kick it sideways to turn. It's a shame because the trucks are so incredibly steer-able. On a two-lane road, if I lean full in, I could probably turn, but that's not the move I am used to. On the Boosted, I just do the 3-point and whiz off. I was considering returning the Evolve and getting a Lacroix Nazare, but seeing it in action makes me realize it's more for carving straightaways and dirt hills than tight turns in urban environments.
The miles sx panther pro has a 40mile range, belt driven and 30mph top speed and the double kingpins the evolve has and its full carbon fiber for $1,350
"You just lean forward to go, lean back to brake..." Beware - leaning forward leads to 'nose dives'. Proper form on the Onewheel is to 'press' forward keeping your weight centered.
You bring up a valid point. The way you phrase it is much better than the way I did. You never should ride with your body weight ahead of the wheel, but rather you should be centered over it. Nosedives are no fun and can be avoided by use of proper form and not pushing the board beyond its limits. Thanks for the clarification.
@@yoursource3170 It's a year later but figured I'd throw in you can buy fangs for the onewheel which are tiny wheels that mount in the front. In the event of a nosedive on a smooth surface you just drag the nose instead of falling off head first. A must have for any onewheel IMO.
Vin Berube It’s 686 brand. One of my snowboarding jackets. I’ve had for a few years so I’m not sure if you can find it anymore... Hope that helps and thanks for watching.
HOGANVLOG Thanks so much for your comments. I’ve really enjoyed watching some of your eskate videos as well. Thanks for making great videos. Keep up the good work.
It's the TSG Pass helmet. Pretty popular in the eskate scene. Nice looking helmet. I really like it but it's a bit pricey and does not offer the same protection as a full on motorcycle helmet but it's still pretty good on safety and I like the lower profile. I forget it's actual safety rating but you can look it up online. Hope that helps.
Your helmet and style looks really cool on Onewheel and it looks like next gen device. LaCroix looks terrible like some sort of DYI device. Evolve looks like a regular e-skate.
So I ended up selling it and getting all my money back. I would've loved to have it in my collection but in the end it just wasn't the right board for my needs and riding style so I couldn't really justify the cost of keeping it.
i threw all my weight into a onewheel carve and ate shit not really understanding its physics... but, its just a next level vehicle, its capabilities give it a huge edge in a city
jammin2070 don’t know if you’d be interested but I’m actually selling one of my LaCroixs. I really love these boards but at the moment I need the money. Such is life I suppose. But I hope to be able to sell mine and at some point get another board. If you’re interested in buying a LaCroix that is in excellent condition for a good price then hit me up. If you have any questions I’d be happy to answer them. Thanks for watching.
I have a OW XR. I ride with a BT Speaker playing rock so people hear me coming up, I found that people generally don't respond to excuse me, coming through, or get out of the way, at least not until it's too late. They always hope or assume it's someone else you're speaking to. But they hear music coming up on them fast they get out of the way.
Ya love my OW XR, wouldn't be able to make it from point A to B. When you got very Rocky spots like rocks 5in in size. OW just cuts thru it at a stable 10mph. Then I can get back on the road all without having to walk my board or find another route. Living in Vegas near the cannon walls. Not to mention me an my OneWheel have been hit by three cars an the board laughs the impacts off. As for me I regenerated over time. ;-7 No other board would be able to have survived Vegas without having to spend a dime repairing. That makes it one wheel worth its weight in gold. An the great choices in customising the parts and aftermarket protection.
@@rua671 Yes it can but you have to adjust the leveling in settings. I run plus 4-6 if I'm on 45° which is a built-in feature that others do not offer and in dirt or grass too. But does help to make it faster with fangs. Actually eboards stall out from 0 to Vertical every time but onewheel can go up like an elevator every time. That's something boards unless custom built can't do. You clearly haven't experimented one or if you have then you left out a lot.
I have all those, well I sold my evolve. One thing you are missing is EUC. Even have the tsg pass haha. Are you on Instagram by any chance? PS. I shared this video on fb and Reddit groupe
Electric Vehicle Yeah I’m more of a board guy but I would love to try out and review an EUC. They definitely seem to have their high points. I’m not on instagram at the moment. Perhaps I should do that to expand my audience. Thanks so much for sharing my video. Glad you enjoyed it.
The one wheel just wins it all imo. Those two other boards without perfect conditions are pretty much useless. Some of the cities near me have terrible roads,
The best for me is a onewheel 😜✌🏼
Your video quality etc is way better than before. Well done.

@@fsflip3111 If I could only have 1 board I would grudgingly take the XR because even though it's not as fun as a summrrboard (nothing could be), it's loads of fun and it's really practical to jump on and run the the hardware store or to get a few groceries or a haircut or something. It is really casual for flying around at over 15mph and even going offroad and stuff. Luckily I can have as many electric boards as I want because there is absolutely nothing as fun as my summrrboard! But it takes a lot of hours of practice to get good on a summrrboard. As for a solid longboard....I can't imagine why anyone would want one.....but that's just me
Where is the filming location of this vid? Beautiful place.
Great cinematic change of videography!
Thanks so much for the positive feedback. Glad you enjoyed it.
Very nice video. Great editing and commentary. Stay consistent with the uploads 👍🏽
YanzoDaDon Thanks bro. Yeah I wish I had the time to make and upload more videos, it’s tough to find the time though. I hope to put out some more content soon. Thanks for watching!
I really dig the olive jacket, any pointers to the brand? Apart from that great comparison, really helpful!
Glad you enjoyed the video. That jacket is 686 brand. It's actually one of my older snowboarding jackets. I wear it over my armored mesh jacket on colder days.
@@yoursource3170 what armored gear u recommend in 80-90 degree weather
What vest are you wearing! I love the design and color!
You mean my green jacket? It's actually an old 686 brand snowboarding jacket if mine. I have a mesh armored jacket beneath it.
Thank you! Probably impossible to find then :( Great video too!
What's the helmet like you recommend it! Or is it overkill I have a evolve carbon Gt board
Good question. I actually want to do a review of the TSG Pass helmet in the near future. I personally really like mine. I haven’t used it in the summer heat yet though. It may be a bit hot in the summer months. We’ll see. I haven’t had mine a full year yet. I do like it overall though and safety is super important to me so I think it’s good option. Kinda bulky though to just carry around when you’re not wearing it. If you’re rolling at over 20 mph though I personally like the idea of a full-face helmet and the protection it offers. I also like that it cuts down on wind noise significantly too. I’ll go more in depth in the review. Hope that helps in the meantime though. Thanks for watching.
thanks for the reply, finding it difficult to find a good helmet. Touch wood haven't fallen off yet but you hear these horror stories of people falling on their face. It just looks over kill seems silly to where a full face but guess when you do fall be glad you was wearing it
Lee Speirs Yeah if you ever fall you’ll be very thankful for a good helmet. To me it’s just not worth the risk. Helmets can be a bit irritating at times but no where near as bad as a life altering injury or death. The TSG is a pretty solid option in my opinion.
@@yoursource3170yep so true thanks again for replying
Awesome! I much rather see comparison vids than unboxing reviews. I kiteboard on the beach with a MBS mountain board. I also kiteboard on the ocean. I see lots of One wheels on the beach. But the LaCroix looks more like my MBS. Hmmmmmmm this video has me thinking lol. Thank you for a great production.
Tommy Luptak I don’t know if you’d be interested but I’m actually selling one of my LaCroixs. I love these boards and really don’t want to sell them but I need the money so I have to. Such is life I suppose... If you’re interested in a LaCroix that is in excellent condition for an excellent price then hit me up. Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
The 1wheel: does the feeling of the tire in the middle of the board go away?...seems like it would feel odd to straddle over it all the time??
gr8t vid btw
You dont feel like you are riding on center wheel...it feels like snowboarding...the 1wheel is a lot of fun, I ride everywhere
The wheel is the pivot, like the board is hovering around there. It's super floaty. You don't feel much most of the time. I've ridden with the Trampa crew and except for the speed I'm riding everything they're riding in the main. Different game. But still carvy street/offroad fun
You missed one thing about the onewheel - it has a mobile app where you can choose a different mode which can give higher speed, better and smoother stability, etc. You can also create your personal. If you try it you fill fall in love with it.
jasen uzunov You are correct. I didn’t talk about that in this video. I chose not to include it because I wanted to keep the video reasonably short and I feel the app deserves it’s own video. I also felt that there are other videos out already that are very well done. You bring up a good point though and mentioning it probably would have been a good idea. Sorry I missed that and thanks for your feedback and for watching.
You’re never going to go fast on a one wheel lmao
@@gonzoschmalanzo3066 Fr... also all esk8's have modes on the remote already. i dont wanna have to hope my phone doesnt die to change modes
Hey I love you're vidoe but what would you recommend a Kalynyc or lacroix ?
Glad you enjoyed the video. I used to own one of the kaly boards for a bit. It was one of his older models and I have not tried the newest 2.0 version so I can't speak from ride experience. Just in my opinion I prefer the way the deck and trucks feel on the Lacroix over the Kalynyc. I actually did get a chance to ride the new lacroix nazare lonestar board and it's pretty amazing. It has a similar feel to my Lacroix but it is even more powerful and very stable. I will be putting out a video about it as well as an interview I had with Alex the creator soon. So to answer your question I personally would go with a lacroix because I love the truck setup and deck feel. Of the 3 newer models coming out I can't imagine you'd be disappointed with any of them. But if you like the feel of a Kalynyc then I'm sure you'd love that board as well. Neither one is cheap so if you can try them first that's the best of course but I know a lot of people don't have access. Hope that helps and feel free to ask me any further questions if need be.
@@yoursource3170 thank you so much for replying and giving me feed back and cant wait for you're next vidoe and if I don have anymore questions i will ask
@@yoursource3170 hey bro is the lacroix good off rode???
What's the name of the green coat the man with with white helmet is wearing?
Great Comparison / Contrast Review... love my Lacroixs and XR too... thx!
Nice video, yeah I wish my Onewheel could cruise at 20 like it does at 15, my GTX has a motor issue, waiting on a replacement - if the Lacroix had been released earlier, I wouldn’t have purchased the GTX - like you said though, when everything is working well, the Evolves are a great ride
Nice comments bro. And thanks for watching. Glad to hear you enjoyed the video.
I've actually never rode even a regular skateboard but I'm looking to get an e skateboard for commuting and I'm actually considering the Lacroix Jaws. I know it's a powerful machine so I will definitely ease into it slow till I get the hang of it but I want something that rides nice and stable with good speed and acceleration to keep up with traffic
Hey man dope video-- where did you get that white helmet? That's sick
It looks like a TSG Pass.
You made a nice opinion piece, plus you went to Montreal by canal Lachine for footage, great video! I'm going to rent a onewheel in San Diego before I buy one. I wish I could rent a LaCroix too.
Thanks for your comments. Glad you enjoyed watching. I agree with you, it would be really nice if you can try these boards out before buying. If you went to Montreal I bet you Alex would probably let you demo a Lacroix. You might also want to check to see if any riders in your area are willing to let you take a ride on theirs. There's quite a different feeling between riding the onewheel and the lacroix. Sometimes people don't have that option though and that's one of the main reasons I made this video. Have fun with your onewheel rental and ride safe.
We need one with the Nazare!!! Will you be getting one? Can't wait for the next video
Just got to test out the nazare the other day and talked with Alex the creator. I plan on putting out a video discussing it soon.
@@yoursource3170 cool. hope to see more new toys.
the evolve gtr bamboo is a beast!
cool. i have a one wheel and a boosted mini x, at first i didnt like the one wheel, but when i wanna off road/ trail ride its my choice, Also that dog knew what it was. he wanted you to run it i cant wait to get a dog
I’ve got almost 1,000 miles on my XR & had it for about 4 months lol. I can’t wait for the next gen, where hopefully it’ll have 25+ mile range, suspension, & cruzing speeds of 20mph, so a top speed bump of 25mph... hopeful, but the electric unicycle & electric skate boards are all around there in specs, so it a possibility!
I'm right around 250 miles on 3rd month. I agree, if they upgrade the speed, power, range, suspension, that's an instant buy. I'm gonna get a long board soon to try it out.
Esk8's pushed 40mph over two years ago. onewheel could push 35 if they wanted. a carbon fiber super esk8 that goes over 35 mph and has a 35mile range costs less then a machined metal single motor onewheel and its sad i feel like its a rip off and greedy despite a cool product
@@liammeigs4815 not sure how you’d fit another motor in a onewheel 😂 but I get what you’re saying. That said I skipped the next gen onewheel and got a motorcycle instead 😂🤘🏽
Fantastic video!
Emily Davis Much appreciated. Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.
What’s the price difference
Seattle crew! How do these boards deal with the hills?
I personally have never found a hill that the Lacroix couldn't flatten. Evolve is also strong but not as much and since the battery is much smaller your range will be more of an issue than with the Lacroix. The onewheel isn't a bad hill climber but I wouldn't say that it's where that board shines. If you have a lot of hills then Lacroix is the way to go in my opinion.
Where can I buy Lacroix boards? They are sold out on their website.
They are coming out with a new model that I believe will be available for order June 19th. I'm not sure of how long delivery will take though.. They have a few pics of their new board on their Instagram if you want to check it out. There's still a lot of info on the way though. If it's something I feel like I want to upgrade to then I may think about selling one of my current boards.
Your Source How much do you think this new Lacroix board will cost?
@@showlovespreadlove good question. I can't say for sure but I would think it will be more expensive than their current models. In speaking with Alex from Lacroix that's what he eluded to. I know they are looking to have even higher specs and possibly more premium build materials. Since the current board is already to notch and not cheap, I wouldn't be surprised if the new one is at our around 3k USD. I guess we should find out really soon though.
Why are calling the worst of lacroix's boards as just lacroix?
Before you telling the viewer what the 3rd board is. I can already tell by the sound of it’s motors. It’s an Evolve, Bamboo, Bamboo GT or Carbon GT.
Great video and really informative. You need more subs. Well you got one in me.
Great video with a nice vibe!
Thanks bro. Much appreciated.
Does someone know Where can I get the one with one wheel
6:10 That U-Turn though ...
Nice vid.
What's up with the fullface?
Great review and narration, thanks.
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it.
Remote controller??? Drag race? Range testing? Long-run testing?
Good framing, good edit
That turning radius on the LaCroix is surprising. Kind of a deal-breaker.
I have had the OneWheel XR since summer 2018 and like the simplicity of no controller and the magical floaty feeling. However, you can absolutely not speed on it! Going beyond max. rated speed just causes nosedive without hardly any warning. I've had more than one suspected scaphoid fracture as a result of pushing the OneWheel too far. I highly recommend Flexmeter D30 wristguards and Bern Watts or similar medium speed helmet. 12-15 mph to the store is fine. Lugging the board around the store is a bit annoying.
I have had the Boosted Stealth since early 2020 (right before they closed) and absolutely love it. Using the remote to both slow to a halt (and hill hold) as well as throttling further back for reverse is so handy for 3-point turns. I went 8 miles once without ever having to get down. In fact, sometimes I relax and loosen up by swaying back and forth doing tricks and burnouts. Reverse is important to me. BUT, it has only 85mm wheels. Wooden bridges are doable but no fun. It is an absolutely beautifully designed board and a real shame the company went out of business. If they were still around and making an AT version, I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
Just this week bought the Evolve GTR and am honestly underwhelmed. Responsiveness in GTR mode meets or exceeds the Boosted Stealth, but the remote takes some getting used to. From what I've read, the trick is to never ever drop the remote or else the separate braking button could randomly engage braking at high speed. The acceleration curve is VERY saggy in lower modes and almost too touchy in GTR mode. Lack of reverse bothers me. Every time I hit a dead-end, I have to get off, pick the thing up or kick it sideways to turn. It's a shame because the trucks are so incredibly steer-able. On a two-lane road, if I lean full in, I could probably turn, but that's not the move I am used to. On the Boosted, I just do the 3-point and whiz off.
I was considering returning the Evolve and getting a Lacroix Nazare, but seeing it in action makes me realize it's more for carving straightaways and dirt hills than tight turns in urban environments.
The miles sx panther pro has a 40mile range, belt driven and 30mph top speed and the double kingpins the evolve has and its full carbon fiber for $1,350
"You just lean forward to go, lean back to brake..."
Beware - leaning forward leads to 'nose dives'. Proper form on the Onewheel is to 'press' forward keeping your weight centered.
You bring up a valid point. The way you phrase it is much better than the way I did. You never should ride with your body weight ahead of the wheel, but rather you should be centered over it. Nosedives are no fun and can be avoided by use of proper form and not pushing the board beyond its limits. Thanks for the clarification.
@@yoursource3170 It's a year later but figured I'd throw in you can buy fangs for the onewheel which are tiny wheels that mount in the front. In the event of a nosedive on a smooth surface you just drag the nose instead of falling off head first. A must have for any onewheel IMO.
@@St1ngerGuy yes I agree. Great add on for sure👍
He’s all about the helmet lol
Both are best. I take my one wheel for off-road and esk8 for street ripping!
Solid content. Keep it up.
Much appreciated.
Nice jacket! What brand?
Vin Berube It’s 686 brand. One of my snowboarding jackets. I’ve had for a few years so I’m not sure if you can find it anymore... Hope that helps and thanks for watching.
great review
Dope review dude!
HOGANVLOG Thanks so much for your comments. I’ve really enjoyed watching some of your eskate videos as well. Thanks for making great videos. Keep up the good work.
Great review!
Just realized at the end you filmed in mtl
Thanks for your positive comments. Glad you enjoyed it.
Hired a filmmaker, nice! 🖤
onewheeell!!!
What helmet is that? It's beautiful.
Thanks. It's the TSG pass. I'm planning on doing a review of it soon.
Tell me about the helmet you have on
It's the TSG Pass helmet. Pretty popular in the eskate scene. Nice looking helmet. I really like it but it's a bit pricey and does not offer the same protection as a full on motorcycle helmet but it's still pretty good on safety and I like the lower profile. I forget it's actual safety rating but you can look it up online. Hope that helps.
I love my bamboo gt. I upgraded my battery and change my drive gear. Now getting 23miles with 30 mph haha
Sounds like some pretty sweet upgrades. Thanks for your comments and for watching.
How much for that helmet?
It's the TSG Pass helmet. Price can vary depending on model and retailer. It's a bit expensive but I do like the helmet.
Thank you!
Good video ! Thx mate
I'm your 400th Sub!!!
🤙 You rock! Thanks for your sub bro.
Your helmet and style looks really cool on Onewheel and it looks like next gen device. LaCroix looks terrible like some sort of DYI device. Evolve looks like a regular e-skate.
What happened to the Raptor?
So I ended up selling it and getting all my money back. I would've loved to have it in my collection but in the end it just wasn't the right board for my needs and riding style so I couldn't really justify the cost of keeping it.
Onewheel = Sidewalk/park smasher
LaCroix = Performance high speed race longboard
Evolve = Comfort comminuting. Little bit of both worlds.
Nice video
Thanks so much bro
i threw all my weight into a onewheel carve and ate shit not really understanding its physics... but, its just a next level vehicle, its capabilities give it a huge edge in a city
onewheel all day!!!
LaCroix needs to get back in stock asap!!
I think they are coming out with a new version.
jammin2070 don’t know if you’d be interested but I’m actually selling one of my LaCroixs. I really love these boards but at the moment I need the money. Such is life I suppose. But I hope to be able to sell mine and at some point get another board. If you’re interested in buying a LaCroix that is in excellent condition for a good price then hit me up. If you have any questions I’d be happy to answer them. Thanks for watching.
What helmet
TSG Pass
I need that helmet
What about electric unicycles? 😁
Haha. Yeah bro I’d love to review one. Just need someone to donate one to the cause since I can’t afford one at this time. Thanks for watching.
Similar to having sex with fat chick
Another important comparison is the onewheel is quiet! No belts making whiny noises.
I have a OW XR.
I ride with a BT Speaker playing rock so people hear me coming up, I found that people generally don't respond to excuse me, coming through, or get out of the way, at least not until it's too late.
They always hope or assume it's someone else you're speaking to.
But they hear music coming up on them fast they get out of the way.
Pretty good video :)
Onewheel ftw
I got a onewheel X-r. But I wanna try this other shit
Beau vidéo, tu film à Montréal n'est-ce pas ;)
Unfortunately you can't compare the onewheel with anything, its in a league of its own!
Ya love my OW XR, wouldn't be able to make it from point A to B. When you got very Rocky spots like rocks 5in in size. OW just cuts thru it at a stable 10mph. Then I can get back on the road all without having to walk my board or find another route.
Living in Vegas near the cannon walls. Not to mention me an my OneWheel have been hit by three cars an the board laughs the impacts off. As for me I regenerated over time. ;-7
No other board would be able to have survived Vegas without having to spend a dime repairing.
That makes it one wheel worth its weight in gold.
An the great choices in customising the parts and aftermarket protection.
The onewheel can’t climb steep hills which is a big down fall
@@rua671 Yes it can but you have to adjust the leveling in settings. I run plus 4-6 if I'm on 45° which is a built-in feature that others do not offer and in dirt or grass too. But does help to make it faster with fangs.
Actually eboards stall out from 0 to Vertical every time but onewheel can go up like an elevator every time. That's something boards unless custom built can't do.
You clearly haven't experimented one or if you have then you left out a lot.
Dope ass video bro.
Michael Hurdle Production Studio thanks. Glad you enjoyed watching.
@@yoursource3170 No doubt bro.
I have all those, well I sold my evolve. One thing you are missing is EUC. Even have the tsg pass haha. Are you on Instagram by any chance?
PS. I shared this video on fb and Reddit groupe
Electric Vehicle Yeah I’m more of a board guy but I would love to try out and review an EUC. They definitely seem to have their high points. I’m not on instagram at the moment. Perhaps I should do that to expand my audience. Thanks so much for sharing my video. Glad you enjoyed it.
Don't care about boards, production is sweet. 👍
MrGarkin Glad to hear you enjoyed watching.
These boards hit different when you live in the city js
Fax
The one wheel just wins it all imo. Those two other boards without perfect conditions are pretty much useless. Some of the cities near me have terrible roads,
A.t wheels.... Four of them. stable trucks... lacroix has insane ranges up to 40-60 miles on a charge lmao
You guys didn’t even use the right Evolve board to compete.
Because it sucks
Onewheel looks perfect for me. But it's way to expensive
On Onewheel. Hips forward hot head
Why compare a one wheel to the best E-board on the market? They are totally different as well. Lacroix all the way!
