    I just turned 60 yrs old. I have learned on the v8. It's been a good little device. However, I am ready for the v12HT. This is a great sport for older people to help maintain their balance and brain functions strong. You did a great job. You should be awesome by now.

    I was putting down a street last summer on my motorcycle and I was passed by a guy riding one of these. He was jumping curbs and swerving around things. Man, I thought this was the coolest thing ever! He was also wearing more pads than a hockey goalie. Don’t blame him.

    Good 1st skill builder is grass. As you progress, everything seemingly hard gest easier and easier. Dry trails get you into up/down, and narrow. Mud, snow, and wet grass get you into slippery. Pot-holes and speed bumps challeng your human suspension, especilly on unsuspended wheels. Enjoy the new world view!

  • @supercurioTube

    Congrats on your quick learning David!
    The first tip is better gear: knee and wrist guards are an absolute must, jacket with certified level 1 or 2 elbow and shoulder pads highly recommend (like Lazy Rolling ones).
    For filmmaking, OneWheel is easier to learn for precise, very low speeds and going backwards whereas it's more an advanced skill on EUCs. But EUCs can go a lot faster and further as an actual vehicle and handle more terrains.
    An EUC with suspension + gimbal will give previously impossibly stable footage in some scenarios.
    I hope you will connect with local riders for group rides!
    Otherwise: ask me anything, I'll he happy to answer all questions.

    I have a V12HT too and it’s fantastic, over 2.000 miles on it in 5 months. It was my second EUC. Absolutely flawless, not a single problem with my unit. I think you passed the hardest part. Now it’s only keep riding and gain experience. Practice 8 figure (turning left in a circle then to right to complete another circle) to improve your turning ability. Power pads are useful to help on acceleration and bracking. Knee pads are a good idea in case of falling. The rim and tyre in the V12ht are exceptionally hard to bent. In my experience is better to use no more than 25 psi with this tyre, depending on your weight. Besides the unicyle is easier to control for a beginer at low pressure, you have only 1 contact point with the ground after all.
    Great video, and welcome to this addictive hobby.

    45 degrees not percent nerd! :P Grats on the EUC! Here is a pro tip on that EUC. Go in to the app and set the ride style to Commuter mode. Set the pedal sensitivity to 70 and turn on Split Mode. Acceleration of 75 and braking on 68. Also, you can drop the pedals down for even more stability. Another good tip is not to look at the wheel or the ground in front. Look towards the distance and "feel" your body react. The reason you crashed on the curb was because you are anticipating it and then tried to compensate what you were seeing. Look ahead a little and have more trust in the wheel. Also put a small tilt on the wheel about 2 degrees either forward or backward and see if it helps. Turn on No Load detection to allow the wheel to shut off if it doesn't sense you are on the wheel. It stops the wheel from ghosting and careening in to a car. Assist balance will help with the top weight and for putting the wheel on the kickstand when it is on.
    Hope this helps! Let me know and I will ride with you in SD.

      This made me so happy watching someone else's progress on a one wheel! lol you got it way faster than I did. Great way to get better is to ride off road or with curbs, i rode along the sidewalk on my street where the driveway bumps go up and down on sidewalks. Gets you used to sharp elevation changes.

      Since you are riding the V12HT, make sure that you get your settings right. At which speed you set the alarms and at which speeds you set the tiltback. There are other settings, if you dont know, ask. Putting the wrong parameter may cause a crash.

    I absolutely love this. You are right, the people on UA-cam (and Isntagram) make things like this and OneWheel and others look so easy. It's fun to see you struggle with this, but still have fun learning. There's a guy that rides something like this around North Augusta, SC, and he said when I asked him about it that it took him quite a few fails and falls to get it. 😲

    Awesome video dude! I watched your videos when selecting a action camera because i ride an electric unicycle and wanted to start recording some of my rides. You did awesome for a first timer. If you wanna go fast you need to try and stomp down on the tip of your feet without actually lifting your foot if that makes sense. Lowering the PSI in the tire might help while you are learning to go fast also, and then keep adding PSI as you get more comfy.

    I had an actual OneWheel Pint for 1 summer and just could not get the hang of it. So, kudos to you making progress on the Inmotion. I was riding my electric bike and saw someone riding an EUC and we passed each other 3 or 4 times as we were strolling the area. We finally stopped to chat about our rides. Not sure if an EUC will be an option for me (I love my e-bike) but I do need to try something out of my comfort zone. However, I need to find a Canadian manufacture because these things are bloody expensive and if you have to spend the extra for the exchange rate, a Canadian dollar is like $O.70 USD. So, Canadians end up paying like 30% more for these things…which is why I have down graded to a DJI Action 3 action camera instead of the GoPros.

      Advice: 1. Get over ankle shoes with flat bottoms. 2. Knee guards. 3. Wrist guards 4. Power pads 5. Spiked pedals 5. Learn to seated ride 6. Great platform for filming once proficient 7. Spend more time mounting and dismounting to get that to be second nature 8. Practice hard braking 9. Learn to carve to help avoid speed wobbles (you will get them and you need to be ready or face a fall at top speed) 10. Get miles under your belt as you really don't get proficient enough to ride with car traffic until around 500 miles.

    If the insides of your legs start hurting and bruising, that's fairly normal. It might sound a bit counter intuitive, but not having a tight grip on the wheel will help. You will definitely want to get some wrist guards, elbow pads and knee pads as well.

    Haha David thanks for the fun... It needs training wheels... Very different center of balance. I can't imagine 37 mph. Good thing the parking lot is empty... 😂 Never seen someone so happy to turn left... 😂 The leg pads sound the better way to go. Your body position looks a little awkward going up the hill... I was wondering if your neck hurt afterwards... Ouch on the curb... I think you love a challenge!

  • @johanpasser5718
    @johanpasser5718 Рік тому +1

    Some pads I can really recommend is the clark pads, they are a little expensive at 100$. But I can really recommend it. One thing I thought of a lot while I watched you learn, was that I wouldn't recommend riding on grass while learning. At least to me, it feels too soft. I honestly just held on to something while getting on it, I would then try to ride it.. I just kept on doing that until it worked.. I'm really surprised how fast you learned riding on it for a bit, I took about two days.. Maybe 2-3 hours on the first day, then 2 hours the next. After that I knew how to do almost everything (I apologize for the bad sentence structure, english is not my main language)

    Hey bud, love your videos, I noticed this video is a year old, I can’t believe I’m barely seeing it now. However, I am curious on your journey to learning this wheel! I have the same exact wheel and I love it! I ride it around the neighborhood nightly, it’s just one of the best feelings ever, I always tell people it’s the closest thing to flying, other than paragliding, etc. anyway, I noticed there aren’t any other videos on this wheel from you. Do you by chance have a Facebook we can connect on? Or are you in the INMOTION Facebook group? Id love to give you some pointers if you haven’t already done them. Cheers and best of luck.

  • @s0d4c4n

    To me, non negotiable safety gear at any speed or skill level is full face helmet and wrist guards. Don't wear motorcycle gloves - they protect your hands but let your wrist flex.
    If you're new, long socks and shin guards will help with a lot of the bumps against the machine while learning. If you're going slow, elbow and knee guards aren't mandatory but will prevent scrapes from falls.
    If you're going at any kind of speed, you will probably be far enough along to decide for yourself what kind of gear you need, for me that is motorcycle gear for both impact and asphalt abrasion protection.

      The tire of the V12 HT has very hard carcass and sidewalls compared to other models, so it doesn't necessitate high pressures.
      David: for your weight you can try between 22 and 30 PSI. At lower will be easier to control the steering and comfortable.
      When you'll jump it on skate parks and going up curbs, increasing PSI is a good idea.
