Like This Video? Then you'll love this one where I learn to ride an EUC (Electric Unicycle) th-cam.com/video/9BLfBqdXJpo/w-d-xo.html
Where are you riding?
Can't believe a brand new youtube channel has this much effort put into its first-ever video. If this keeps up, there's no telling how large it'll grow. See you to the moon.
Totaly Agree!
AGREED
Yes, he have done his study on how to be successful on TH-cam, he will grow for sure, nice video quality, decent sound quality, decent lights on bg 👍 he will grow for sure, just need to be constant on the content.
Helps to have been doing it for a few a few years on other channels ;) I was wondering why he focused on the Blue Collar Nerds sticker for so long. It's his other channel.
I didn’t even realize how small this channel was till I saw this comment
The most accurate part of this video is how he ends up buying SO MANY ACCESSORIES after riding for a little bit lmao
LMFAO RIGHT? This best describes me when I get into something. Will most likely be me if I ever decide to purchase a OneWheel 😅 Since it’s pretty expensive I should probably see if I can test one out from someone I know
MEEEEEE I only have 126 miles on it and as of this Saturday, I’ll have a fender, a charge plug, a Hoosier Nimbus (slick), Sidekicks, and a one-piece float plate.
I do realize that it’s way too early to buy a tire but I don’t really care, this will supposedly increase the performance of my board, also it looks so much cooler
@@chewypinecone lol. My onewheel has over 200 miles and I only have a fender.
as a teen i earned to ride a unicycle in the 70s guys thought i was a nerd till the chicks thought it was cool then let me try please i dd a lot of i call zoomin learning to ride it takes off from under you my dad got tired of buying seats for it from zoomin try it some time now i don't think you can buy one in early 70s i bought mine at a store called brand names for around 20.00 there gonna make a comeback like skateboards did
Get a 3d printer lol print the parts
I had my OneWheel XR for about four hours before it threw me to the ground so hard that I fractured my wrist in two places. Ive been in a cast for about a month now and I might need surgery. The doctor advised me to sell it, but I cant wait to get back on!!! Lesson learned, I bought a set of wrist guards
Damn was hoping that you would be selling it lol
@@matias8138 so u could buy it? lol
Tough being unathletic
What you should really do is take falling classes. Before you try that again. Obviously protection can only do so much if you're falling wrong.
@@deaddevilking i sold it and bought a mini cooper, just a different toy
This is by far the best review I have seen. I've owned a pint for about a month and this is effectively all the research and honest reviews I found complied into one amazing video. Thank you so much for the great video.
The Rock to Barnes and nobles omfg 😂
I know...I LOL-ed hard at that.
I just wanted to say thanks so much for this video! As someone who has never experienced ANY board sport and an amateur rollerblader I was nervous ordering and learning a Onewheel. Because of your funny, safe, and realistic approach I was able to get up and ride in about 15 minutes with only one true minor fall. Appreciate you taking one for the team and sharing your learnings so I didn't have to. So glad I ordered one. Only on day 2, and we already have 12 miles on the board. It's a total blast, and already made a new friend/riding partner out of a complete stranger who just saw me riding. P.S. you're right about the stupid plug....lost it on my first day, got replacements at the store that don't fit, and have decided to just replace packing tape between charges.
I’ve been debating on buying a Onewheel pint for a bit now and your review pushed me over the edge to purchase one. Great job documenting the mindset of becoming familiar with the board and what to expect when learning to ride. Excellent video!
Great video. I tried a friends pint for like 10 mins and it was terrifying. Same reactions, thought it would be easier. Had some time to think about it and decided to get one despite my initial experience. Thanks for showing what you went through. It’s reassuring to see how much better you became. Good luck!
Just found your channel. 👍 Congrats on the Pint, Onewheels are great fun.
I've got over 7000 miles on my XRs and the thing I wish someone had told me at the start would be to practice jumping off with both feet. Forget heel lift dismount and simple stop, just practice over and over slowing right down and jump off with both feet. Do it so many times that you can do it nice and neat and your Pint just plops down gracefully... jumping off heelside is best, so your Pint is in front of you.
It sounds like a dumb thing to practice, but you program your brain/reflexes for both feet to instantly leave the board at the same time, and be able to do it effortlessly. Then later, when you are in a bail out situation (will happen a lot) you can just get both feet instantly off the board and get them on the ground in a safe footing, trust me, this will save your bacon... 😎
That's how you start a channel. Quality from the get go.
The process of learning to ride a OneWheel is not at all easy like Future Motion dictates, I had a VERY hard time on it my first week of ownership. This was a great video to watch, seeing your learning process was super on point. But, once I figured out riding stance and letting the OneWheel control itself and read my body movements, I started really enjoying the riding experience. Everyone learns differently, and once you get the hang of it, the OneWheel is an absolutely awesome toy, I love my pint!
Great vid. There are tons of vids of people shredding these suckers. I really appreciate Richard's candor and humility allowing us to go along on his learning journey - even when it wasn't pretty.
That because it's easy to shred. When you only go 1mph of course youre gonna fail over and over. The motor disengages when a sensor isnt engaged under 3mph. Thats all on the rider.
I’d recommend learning if you are goofy or regular before, even stepping foot on the Onewheel
It was awesome to see someone ride that didn't appear to be a born professional! Pretty excited to get started. Thanks for the video.
I saw one of these for the first time in Mississippi over the 4th of July and have been researching ever since. This is the first video that is the closest to my skill level. I LOVE this video
My One Wheel just shipped a few days ago. I'm 38 years young and I've never even rode a skateboard so I'm excited and nervous. Of course my friends think I'm crazy and they're all waiting for videos of my spills...lol
Hi there! Just wondering how your experience went! I just discovered this channel and have just bought a used Pint (not the X) a few days ago. 40 years old and about 240-245 lbs. First day took me a while to find the balance and stop the jitters. Looking way ahead and not down definitely helped. After about two dozen embarrassing attempts to mount it (and a sprained left ankle), I finally got the hang of it and rose 2.6 miles! Good luck!
Hey Ivan Rivera. I'm loving it!! It was actually easier than I expected except for turning. But now I'm
How did it go?
for anyone with the same experience (the nose dropping when you try to move forward) - if you're riding with your right foot forward (goofy) you have to switch on goofy mode in the app
How do you do that?
Go to settings and then board notifications. There’s an option for riding goofy. I just enabled it. I’m interested to see if it makes a difference for me. I’ve definitely had issues with the nose dipping forward like that.
@@ingridmartin374 thank you!
The quality, and effort into this video is amazing! When I first got a onewheel I had no idea about push back and completely went straight into the road shoulder first
Don't worry man. The "squirrely" feeling will turn into "wow i can turn on a dime" in just a few weeks. I did the same thing. You'll get it. Don't give up.
Thanks! I get it down by the end of the video. It feels very comfortable now
@@RichardKohberger yeah just wait til your 50 miles in. Then 100 miles. It'll be like breathing. Still tho. Never get too comfy. These things break clavicles daily. Join the Onewheel Crash Group on FB. Every Onewheel owner should be apart of that group. It provides some much needed perspective.
@@travishamiltontattoos4635 I noticed that when my tire pressure is too low, I get severe wobbling on flat pavement/ sidewalks. Granted the XR has a tire that is more squared than the pint, I keep a closer eye on the PSI now as a result, removes some of the 'squirellyness' when there shouldn't be any :)
@@TheLionheartcartoon well usually its the opposite. Higher pressure =higher carvability because there less tire thats actually touching the ground at any given time. But i guess if the pressure was REALLY low the results would be similar. Almost a mushy kind of feel. Out of the box its supposed to be 20 psi. But I've seen tires vary greatly out of the box. I've seen 13, 23 and 27. Even saw a post where someone's was 37!.
What a brilliant review! I'm 70yrs old and in the process of advertising my bike for sale; I don't want my last ride to be a wreck. Guess I'm not seriously considering a one wheel, but if I were younger I think it would be right up my alley cause it's the closest thing to effortless motion available, that doesn't require a license, etc.kind of like flying on the ground. If you're pretty sure your bod can stand a moderate smackdown I'd go for it
Try a Segway then .
Euc for the win!
67 when I bought mine, I’d suggest padding up in beginning… I was pretty bruised the first 7 miles- now I’ve got a hundred plus. I like this thing! Don’t regret it at all. If you have more experienced rider to help you learn.
I am 59, and considering one of these. I will say, as I have gotten older, I respect not getting injured, as healing time is longer. I can ride a skateboard just fine, and a unicycle, so I consider myself to have decent balance. I would lean towards the GT, as I weigh in the 190’s. My wife tells me I would get killed on one, but that never stopped any of my other purchases 😂
@@jeffl915 for the record my XR has pulled me up some pretty steep hills with no hesitation, I can understand the attraction of GT, wish one wheel would settle that right to repair issue. But other than that it looks pretty nice. Don’t see myself trading the XR for the GT. My XR seems to work just fine for me…
We appreciate these type of vids. It’s nice to see the first steps taken. Great Vid!
I watched this video when I started really taking interest in getting a onewheel about a year ago and it really convinced me to get one. Thanks for everything!
I really enjoyed your video. I saw it even though I have been using my onewheel pint for over a month now. I completely agree on all your points. It isn't as easy as it looks in the beginning, but once you get the hang of it , it's sooooo much fun!
Your video is top quality. Keep up the good work! I subscribed and look forward to seeing more from you.
Take care :)
This was an amazing video. I enjoyed how you showcase how the product works right out of the box with out any cuts/editing display product works.
Thanks for this video. It was super informative. I'm looking at buying a one wheel and I'm glad I ran across the channel. Thanks again!
This is a better review than I thought it'd be, you're totally awesome man and I love your energy
Bro great job on your first video! This is quality and I can really tell you put so much time in and it seems to come natural to you! Keep it up man, and I’m excited to see what you got coming for us next. 🤙🏼
Epic first video, I loved my pint and I love my XR now too! I’m running on about 2 and a half years and I really don’t regret any of my purchases. Keep up the good work!
Great video! I don’t own a onewheel, but this really encourages me to pull the trigger. Thanks for being so candid about the learning curve struggle. Thanks for the safety tips also. And great editing!…and personality! You’re gonna go far!
I am at the end of my day one with the PintX and both myself and my wife are totally with you on your first day experience. Starting to feel better about it…just takes practice, but, I am excited to put in the work to get there!!
Dude this was an awesome video. It gave me so much information that I was looking for. Much-appreciated 🙏
Great job, sir. Excellent content! Keep up the thoughtful, quality work on your channel!
Best unboxing and honest review, ever. Keep up the good work.
"I'm sure holding an expensive camera is not the best way to learn." HAHAH! Excellent video, super honest and informative. Thank you!
Brought me back to learning to OW 4 years ago. Thanks for that.
Thank you for the show. I had no idea what to expect and you showed the challenge perfectly. Very nice editing too. 🐜billy
AWESOME REVIEW man this is what I wanted to see much appreciated
So enjoyed your video very informative and honest - Just got my Pint for Christmas and am learning slowly - thanks
I love how honest this review is! 10/10 video
Really awesome video. Love the editing, the content, the comments on the product...well done bro!
Very informative and engaging. Great editing as well. Good job man!
A friend of mine has a Onewheel, so I thought I'd check out a video to see what they're all about. I didn't think I'd watch your whole video, but I did and found that you were informative, entertaining, and very open about your progress to learn how to ride your Onewheel. Well done!
thanks very much for sharing your experience of learning how to ride this fun tool. I appreciate your effort for the fact that you gave us a more real and down to earth understanding of how it actually feel when learning all the basic steps including all the struggles and failures that you've gone through which is truly helpful to those who are interested and thinking of buying and using it in the future. Great job and do keep it up. Take care and God bless:)
You just start going all out. I love it. 💜 Motorcycle jacket 🤣 its perfect.
Ty for this video!! Im looking into buying a pint and i appreciate this frank and real feedback
Absolutely incredible editing bro🔥 love the vibes
Wow....thought I was watching a channel with 100k+ subs!!! Won't be long dude...you know what you're doin!! Great video!
Ok. So first, super impressed by the production quality. Blown away that you had
Excellent video! In the process of picking one of these up and expect your experience to be similar to mine. I am fortunate that a couple of co-workers already have the Pint X and the XR so have been able to play around here at work. Thanks for the video!
One of the best beginner videos I've seen. Good job
Great job on the video! Technically excellent. I loved the content. You tips were very helpful as I am considering getting a Pint.
Richard, great video. Thanks for documenting your training from zero. I enjoyed watching your video. From the start I got hooked on how detailed you explained each aspect of first owning a Onewheel. You might have been a newbie Onewheel owner but you definitely have a talent for making videos. You made me laugh and it was very cool to see your progress from watching you be respectful and having that fear of the Onewheel to then you just cruizing and becoming one with the Your Onewheel.
Thanks again and your video has definetly given me a little bit of a push towards getting one myself. You earned my LIKE and SUB. Keep up the great work Richard.
This is VERY nice to see. I want a Onewheel one day. This is super informative!
Welcome to the float fam Richard!! You're gonna freaking love it, and I cant wait to see more vids!
I just started uploading my own ride vids to youtube, lets ride sometime!
Love my onewheels. It was cool to see your progression in this video.
Great video dude! Very informative and honest feedback...good on ya!
Hey man... Great video...I didn't make a first ride video because I didn't want any evidence of how badly I predicted I would ride...I was amazed watching your video... It was just like what I experienced when I tried to ride a Onewheel. It was much harder to learn than I thought it would be but I'm so glad I kept practicing because now it's one of my favorite things to do. I'm right there with you when you say it's so great for a chill, relaxing way to get out of the house. Thanks for making this video!
The first time I rode my electric skateboard I was so horrible at it but now it’s amazing and so fun to ride! Once you learn, you are officially a pro in my opinion
Amazing video, i enjoy the experience of you buying your first onewheel. I haven’t pick up a onewheel yet and but I will soon. Your video, show me what I should be expecting once I get my onewheel. You got my following. :)
Thanks for keeping it real. Great review!
I sure liked your video about you leaning to ride a Onewheel Pint. it was very interesting and informative. Thank you for it.
Nicely done and great documenting your journey. I'm thinking of picking one up myself.
Super helpful video to watch while searching for a onewheel to purchase for my son. Thanks a bunch!
Very entertaining. I was curious about these things and ended up watching the entire vid. Nice job. Ugh gotta go to work now
19:44 That is the same reason I ride a motorcycle. I don't drive fast most of the time and after 30 years of riding, I still get a little weary when someone is behind me, especially when i am about to turn in a driveway or stop light. Good to hear that you are having fun trying new things is the spice of life, having it turn out well is the thing that drives you more. Great video thanks for sharing.
Well done video. Very informative. You really know how to make a good review video!
Super appreciate your very honest review. I’ve wanted one for as long as they’ve been around but I keep chickening out for fear it’ll end up like so many other things and sit in a corner somewhere.
Great review! I’m very impressed with the production quality. I got mine a couple of weeks ago, and had an even harder time than you learning. I tore my meniscus my first ride😂. I’m much better now at it though. I still find it very hard to stop and get off.
Thanks, sweet vid. Longtime rider tip: Create a couple Onewheel playlists and enjoy riding to your favorite tunes! I can barely ride now without good tunes.
Epic review, very nice job! Perma-dickered haha, that's a new one for me. This was very helpful and cool to see the progression from complete noob to riding confidently over a couple of months. Also helpful to think about rider size and model. I'm 200lbs so considering the larger option from your suggestion.
At first I didn’t see the amount of subs. I thought it would be 500k, or even 1mil. And then I looked at it. This channel is the most underrated I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. Keep it up, and you’ll get there Richard.
Dude, I love your video, you make it fun by adding some comic comments. Keep up the god job. I just bought my Pint X and I am ready to try it out !!
I've had my Pint for about two months. Best money spent in a while. I'm about 175 miles in and loving every ride. #floatlife
Just bought it. Delivers in 5-7 days. This is going to be a long week
@@bbandt1280 how is it?
@@tuan.2.3 great
How much did you buy it for
@@SomeOne-ir5lbou can get it used for like 600 bucks ebay
Way cool! Thanks for the great video!
so cool how we can see you progression.. very nice :)
This was so honest, thank you! This is me when trying a Onewheel, glad I’m not the only one who isn’t carving within 2 minutes of getting on the damn thing! (Also,just speaking as a long time motorcycle rider, it does seem to defeat the object to buy an armoured jacket… and then wear it with shorts 😀)
Dude when you were describing the fangs "does it look cool? no. Is it fun? Doesn't look like it" that was a lol and immediate subscribe.
Great video, keep it up brotha man. I just hit 1k miles on my pint and still love it as much as when I got it.
Wow it’s so good to see a “learning ____” video made by someone who knows how to film!!
Normally the person not only doesn’t know how to film well, but also is trying to do it while learning the thing, resulting in a video that looks like a mobile phone went into a tornado.
So full credit for that! Great shots, very informative, and actually gave me some confidence that I might be able to do it haha. Thanks again 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Your early fails were as enjoyable as your later successes. I actually enjoyed this video. The devil is in the details and you were very informative in a clever cheeky sort of way. Thank you for the review.,add more content and i will sub.
One of the best reviews on TH-cam! Liked and subed!
Nice work. This is the type of vid I wanted to see
Im 230 so I'm gonna go with the XR first but I'm definitely going to end up getting the pint later for the lady and to carve with. Thanks for making this video. It was really well done, and nice drone.
thanks for this im thinking of getting one but i have been wanting to see the learning process thank you
Change your shoes. I have 2 pair of shoes that cause my foot to not be detected consistently by the front sensor and I'm 220 lbs. Try some Vans or Converse and you will get a better fell for the board and that problem should go away
I had this issue while learning today. Too much cushion in your shoes is bad.
Toe shoes from Vibram 5 Fingers are the best for riding in my opinion. Its like being barefoot and you get a lot more control.
This was also my issue back when I started. Made it down right dangerous when I first started learning until I realized I needed some nice flat skate shoes, completely changed the game.
Yup flat bottom shoes make a huge difference. Can confirm
so you’re 220? is the lint still a viable option and good purchase? i’m about that much as well and strongly looking into buying one of these. if i’m too heavy for it i’m going to save for the XR. hope you see this and reply
this was unexpectedly informative and amusing. nice work.
Thanks I just got a pint x it’s about a week away from showing up. I’m so stoked to get out a. Enjoy myself ✌️❤️ Thanks for the information
Nice video and great advice. I agree with your safety first policy. Good luck on your future videos. godspeed
Brilliant video; funny, informative and self-deprecating.
A good way to find if you ride standard or goofy foot, is to run and jump. The foot/leg you put in front is your dominate foot. Awesome channel!
Nice video. I don't own one yet but I'm doing lots of research. I'm leaning towards the Pint X. You're video was very helpful to give me a realistic idea of how long it'll probably take learn the basics. Thanks
The beginning of this gives me such Bill Nye energy and I'm here for it
Great review dude! Thx!
Very informative video! actually decent points about pros/cons of the board (never heard of carving being a problem), and i feel a bit more convinced the pint might be the way to go. definitely subscribe
Good job dude. I just got my XR and can relate to pretty much all you said. Subscribed!
Appreciate it!
they're a ton of fun, so intuitive, manoeuvrable , portable and no remote, way better than a skate board, love mine.
Awesome video. ive been riding eskate for almost 3 years and planing to get an XR next summer (unless something cooler comes along like a jetpack). You video was very informative in what i will have to expect for my first mounth. keep riding and take care. PS. I also have an MC jacket :)
Hey great instructional video, glad I found your channel! I just got this board, delivered today, it's raining and snowing though...as a crazy old guy I'm kind of terrified but I can't wait to try it.
I come back and watch this to remind myself where i started off learning how to ride mine for the first time and my progress now.🙏
at first i thought you over-exaggerated the difficulty of learning to ride this thing, but now that i have finished my own diy onewheel, i am impressed by how quickly you learned
