Got an XR a week ago. I have tons of board sport experience (surf, skate, long, wake & snow) but since I'm getting up in age (44), I thought it would be smart to see other's experiences with bails or possible fails (especially since one wheel isn't exactly like the other board sports). Thanks for sharing your experiences & point of view. Knowledge then experience in any sport is parmount. Great video! *Side note* For my first ride, I rode the board on grass in a park because of bumps, less carving capability etc. ( I practiced speed pushes, carving & quick stops). Then went straight to concrete/asphalt. Learning on bumpy, less grippy contact really increased my learning curve when I applied it to the street. I personally would suggest anyone starting out to do the same.
Yeah that does help a lot. I enjoy riding grass and dirt and it helps a lot with your balance. When I go back to asphalt, it feels so easy. Btw I’m getting up there with you. In less than a month, I hit 40 🤙🏽
Thanks for this video. I'm a new OW rider and I took my XR out today and took a pretty good fall and dinged my wrist a bit and got some road rash on my arm. I just wanted to point out that I made two mistakes that resulted in the wipe out. As a new rider I tried to go around some people walking in the park and thought I could transition from the grass, with a slight Bump back onto the pavement. Welp, I had some pretty decent leg and foot fatigue happening (was 8 miles in, had taken some breaks) so when I tried that slight Bump, I wobbled out and was not able to control the board, couldn't control the acceleration or my weight properly. I realize how important it is to stop with high fatigue now from this video. Will definitely take it out again soon, but being more cautious about these things, and also some elbow pads and gloves. Thank you for the tips much appreciated!
Sorry to hear that you went down and I'm glad you didn't get badly injured. Foot fatigue can be super dangerous. I'm also glad to hear that you learned from this and that you'll be back out 🤙🏽 No worries, it happens to all of us. Ride smart and respect the board and you'll be good to go. Btw, if the foot fatigue doesn't go away after getting more experience, look into the Kush pad from the float life. It should get better with more miles under your belt though.
@@themidwestshredder Thanks man much appreciated. I kicked myself too because I had done so much research, and foot fatigue/leg fatigue was not something I've come across in any tip videos or information, so I wasn't really actively thinking of it. Like I said I tried a slight bump without being totally comfortable in a live situation so that was a big mistake too. But I won't let the fall take the fun away, just have to respect the board & ride smart like you said!
Mate, what a great video. Just got a onewheel. It's so hard :D Though admitedly i can fly around the outside of the house now. But could relate to and appreciate all your tips. My feet and ankles are like jello.
The most dangerous crash on Onewheel is nose diving and when that happens, that helmet might not be enough, because you will most likely drop on your face. Wear full face helmet if you push Onewheel to its limits.
I was thinking, if you had wrist guards you might not have hurt your fingers, and then you brought them out. I've saved my fingers and wrists so many times, rollerblading, ice skating, and now onewheeling. I think it's a mistake to use a selfie stick, unless you have a few hundred hours on a board, but that's just my opinion. Good video tho. Peace.
Lillian yeah it’s totally worth wearing. Sometimes I feel like just wearing my helmet but when I think about the consequences, I change my mind right away.
Excellent video!! Good advice in here. I recommend looking into the KUSH pad to help with that rear foot fatigue. If we get a chance to meetup in Chi I’ll let you try out mine, it’s a really great footpad and a huge upgrade over stock.
slydogstroh thank you 🙏Yeah I’ll definitely take you up on that. Once I can ride a little better, I plan on going down to the city to ride with you guys.
I find when I’m nervous about going over something I sink really low to regain my balance just like on skis or snowboard (which I’ve never done). Lowers my center and less distance to fall
Oh man I’m from the Chicago area originally, but didn’t get my OneWheel til I moved to the west coast. I wish I could bring my pint back to Chicago to ride!
joshua williams everyone learns at a different a pace but I would say that at 100 miles a person is still a beginner. I know I learned a lot more after those first 100 miles. You just understand the board more and what it can do. You also understand the limits of the board and when to back off.
Brian Gonzalez no problem Brian! Glad you got to watch it. You’ll progress more and more in no time. This onewheel is special. It’ll make you happier the more you ride it.
Brian Gonzalez no problem Brian! Glad you got to watch it. You’ll progress more and more in no time. This onewheel is special. It’ll make you happier the more you ride it.
They can help prevent a fall if the board nose dives for sure. I never bought them. The more you ride the board, the more you understand how it acts. You’ll get to know what the limits are. I love my board for cruising and cruising with my dog. We move at a decent speed but still within the limits of not nosediving.
Dudee I really really appreciate all your advise. I watched this whole video before getting my one wheel but it did not fully make sense to me until I rode my one wheel and watched this video again. But I just got my one wheel two days ago, already done 14 miles on it. Whatever you said in this video is 100 percent true and I genuinely feel that all of you guys who are one wheeling, please please wear protection and instead of hitting top speeds in the beginning try to learn to carve and turning. Once you know how to carve, you would just love your ride even more. Definitely, one wheel is insane fun, you take out your one wheel to cruise around or just enjoy that breeze outside and enjoy the nature. One thing I would also say that don't get super confident in the beginning because you don't know the boards full potential yet, so you need to have pretty good experience before you can start with those crazy skills. I have so much love for this product and it's really a tank!! Learn how to dismount, like I mean you need to be able to stop at a dime. I had a near accident only because I got too confident and i kind of thought I knew how to stop but clearly I did not. I got my board, was practicing in my parking lot, was trying to go fast and out comes a car, I panicked and lost my balance, I fell and then realised you really need to lookout for yourself when you are riding and be aware of your surroundings and you really need to know how to stop when it is most unexpected. Sorry for the long post. Be safe guys and I assure you if anyone is willing to get a one wheel, it's in a league of its own and its super super fun. And thank you sir for such a wonderful advise!!! This video really really outlines the key points to remember!! Keeeeep Shredding!!
Maroof Shah thank you so much for the kind words! Glad to hear you’re stoked about your onewheel. You’re right, as new riders people do not understand the board. The more you ride, the more you understand what the board can do. No reason to be breaking speed records to have fun. It’s crazy to hear people having bad injuries with very few miles under their belts.
I had a simliar scare while still new to my EUC. I planned to ride across a crosswalk when two cars went straight through the stop sign without even yielding. I got nervous and hopped off. My wheel went rolling on its own into the street and bounced around like a dime. It was brand new but now the pedal's scratched ip and a piece chipped off. Each time I look at it I get angry with myself for assuming cars would stop. I should have gotten off and walked across the crosswalk or taken the bike trail.
Solid tips! Man, like others, I got super nervous on your fall near the river. I’m always leery of any slippery terrain as that tends to be the one that gets me. If you haven’t tried the dismount where you lift up your front foot completely off the board while shifting all your weight to your back foot one, try it out and see it feels more intuitive, despite some wheel backspin. I took a liking to that dismount method first, and even though I’ve gone back and learned the heel lift dismount, if I had to stop in a hurry, that back foot shift dismount is solid. Keep up the videos!
TheSlyGiraffe thanks for the tip! I also like the way slydogstroh gets off. I’ll have to practice both of those. I’m not sure what it is but I always do risky stuff. I know perfectly well I shouldn’t be riding that close to water but I still end up doing it haha. Subbed to your channel, hope to see the videos coming!
@@themidwestshredder Much appreciated! My channel is pretty small. I'm just starting to OneWheel too, but since everyone has such different and cool videos, I wanted to share some of mine too. Again, keep the videos coming!
great tips! just got my pint, snowboarding I feel comfy going fast but i haven't gone past 5 mph on the pint yet, something about the thought of falling on concrete is way more intimidating. hope you have more tip videos to help me get confident!
With more riding time you’ll get comfortable on concrete. I like to cruise around 10-14 mph. It’s a nice comfortable speed where you can still be cautious and have fun. Wear some gear and put it in miles. You’ll get to know what the Onewheel can do and can’t do. Have fun, you got this!! 🤙🏽
Very informative and clear. Appreciate the tips. Waiting for my XR to ship and I’m both excited and scared from all the talk of nosedives etc lol. I’ve ridden electric boards, have a boosted board and rode a OW once. I’m typically good on things like that and I used to snowboard. Just anxious to start learning on it.
S Scott no worries, you will be fine! Keep the speed in check, center your body over the board, and don’t accelerate too hard. The more you ride it, the more you’ll become one with the board and you’ll understand what you can and can’t do. Don’t let the videos scare you, some of these guys are riding a little out of control. The onewheel is like a motorcycle. You act dumb and don’t respect it, it’ll put you in your place. Hope you love it and best of luck man!
Hi Scott, The board just doesn't nosedive itself. You need to be well aware of the pushback and don't push the board through its limits and you will float like a king. Remember to wear your protection and you will rock on buddy!!! All the best to you and enjoy shredding man!
Maroof Shah Actually it does just nosedive itself. Had my board for two days and it shut off on me twice and is giving me error codes. Now the board won’t turn off or engage at all nor will it charge. It’s defective .... so it’s not always user error. I’ve ridden one before, I understand how to ride them and pushback etc. I also have video of it cutting off out of nowhere if you want proof. Now I gotta prob send it back in for repair under warranty after just 2 f’n days.
When you ate it and almost lost your board, I felt it. I had to look away. I think it might be easier for me to crash and burn myself then watch anyone else do it. Thanks for the great video.
great video Im so glad you didnt lose it in the river.. I felt fear when i saw that slip, you looked like you would be fine but the board holy FaWK!! :)
MrDmadness yeah it was a close one. I should’ve left the audio of me yelling, “No, no, no...!!” When it was heading towards the water haha . Thanks man!
Thanks ! I can’t . walk straight and my knees bent out place . Hopefully it heal all the way back like it was . I got few months of healing ahead of me. I will never ride my one wheel again . Way to dangerous… too bad so much fun 🤩 lol
@@DARTHDANSAN oh man so sorry to hear that. Hope you heal well. Never say never though (unless you sold it). I only use mine to cruise around and to do laps around my yard. No high speed runs. It can be dangerous for sure but when you’re at a nice controlled pace, a lot of the danger goes away. I can totally see what you’re saying though. Take care.
@@themidwestshredder thanks man . I still have mine but don’t plan on ever getting back on it . They are fun be very careful in the rain 🌧 or just be very careful in general.
@@Nunya_Bidnez this sounds like a balance issue. The board shouldn't be taking off unless you're putting pressure on the nose. Find a flat parking lot and work on the basics. Work on getting on and getting off without moving until you feel comfortable. Work on both lifting the front heel to dismount and also jumping off with both feet when you are at a stop. Jumping off with both feet is good in case you lose your balance at a stop and need to bail. Then ride back and forth in the parking lot and then stop and dismount. Continue to do that until it becomes natural. Your muscles need to get trained. Then slowly go over small cracks and bumps in the pavement to work on more balance. This should be done at slow speed until you get comfortable. If you practice and get comfortable with this, the rest will come. Good luck my friend.
I think leg or foot fatigue is the biggest issue. If you watch some of the really good dudes they will always stretch or reposition their back foot when they can (at stops etc). A good skill to practice.
Ethan Vosburgh the more miles I got under my belt, the less foot fatigue I experienced. Riding more relaxed and carving helps a lot. I also purchased the kush high which helped even more.

The most dangerous crash on Onewheel is nose diving and when that happens, that helmet might not be enough, because you will most likely drop on your face. Wear full face helmet if you push Onewheel to its limits.
BartekSWT yeah nosedives are crazy for sure.

lsmith0287 so sorry to hear that my friend. Heal up and get back out there. Take it easy and enjoy the cruise.
Thanks for the tips. What kind of guard rails you got on your board? They’re nice. Look metallic and purplish.
Nelson Vergel you’re welcome Nelson. The rail guards are the black HD guards from the float life 👍🏽 thanks for watching!

bepriceless yeah wrist guards do help a lot. You’re right about the selfie stick too!
I wear a ton of gear too when I ride (EUC). It takes a while to put it on, but I'd rather do that than fall without it.
Lillian yeah it’s totally worth wearing. Sometimes I feel like just wearing my helmet but when I think about the consequences, I change my mind right away.
We’re you riding in Grand Rapids, MI?
No, I was riding in Illinois 🤙🏽

Heard good things about the Kush. You get the Hi or Low version?
Oh man I’m from the Chicago area originally, but didn’t get my OneWheel til I moved to the west coast. I wish I could bring my pint back to Chicago to ride!
the water slip surprised me, i ride pretty chill tho. if i want speed i use a boosted board.
Boosted boards are fun! They stopped making them, right? Collector's item!
can you still be called a beginner after 100 miles? i just got it last week and i still consider myself a beginner.
joshua williams everyone learns at a different a pace but I would say that at 100 miles a person is still a beginner. I know I learned a lot more after those first 100 miles. You just understand the board more and what it can do. You also understand the limits of the board and when to back off.
