You have a mastery of the video, dude I'm seventy five and having a great time with my Onewheel
When I grow up, I want to be just like you!!
I went with all white too! Gonna grab some float plates next
It’s a must. Much less nervous on curb drops
I just ordered my onewheel. It is nice to a new owner's perspective. You did a great job on this video!
Unless you give into the speed demon too early, I’d be very surprised if you regret buying one!
@@SimonSaysCanada I am going to try to take it easy on the speed. The number one thing I see people warn about is the pushback.
Helmet, kneepads, wristguards, an empty parking lot and a HUGE grin on your face!
Yeah man, pushback is perhaps a little too subtle on the XR… The Pint has a much more robust pushback, for some reason.
Cool! Glad you showed how to get off, now how do you get on?????
You can see my daughter get on! One foot at a time, bring it to level, and just get going 😁
This is by FAR the BEST review of anything I’ve ever seen, EVER! I was smashing that 👍🏽 button within the very first few mins. Great job keep them coming 👏🏆
Thank you very much! Working on the next one as I’m typing this!
You're going to need a onewheel GT review now.
But wow this is an awesome review, the editing, humor, presentation etc are all on point.
Hell yeah!!! I can’t wait to get my feet on one!!
Your editing is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. I watched it all and appreciate your input on the One wheel. It was hilarious to watch and informative too!
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! Fun to know people pick-up on the effort that goes into some of these videos!
This was one of the best (if not the best) reviews of the onewheel I saw. Looks like I'm getting one soon!
YES!!! Most fun I’ve had in years!!
Great review, I know it's an older video but this was great review. I enjoyed the humour and the production quality was excellent. Great to see a fellow Canadian putting out some excellent content.
Thanks mate! CANUCKS!!!
If I have the time, I almost always turn around to give kids a second flyby. They love these things!
Gotta make eye contact and flash a Shaka for good measure!
Scotty Mcsplatt ! My personal favorite and happened on Monday ...The VanDamn splits. Well done vid.
Those are great names! I’m still scratching my head for the name I’m gonna give my GT when it shows up… So far I got nothing…
Love the vid bro! Great Papa Roach fanboy impersonation btw...
That the speed demon thing? Cause I could never suffer Papa Roach fanboys…
by far my favourite review video, very entertaining and knowledgable. Thanks for the review, I'm getting the XR at the end of the month (late to the party)!
It’s okay, I was late to it too. Let me know what kind of name you’re gonna give this board!
Dude your videos are really really good! Your personality and style really shines. I'll be looking out for your videos!
Thanks mate! I’m TH-cam’s best kept secret 😛
Nailed it! Great video, you had me cracking up.
Always glad to read this!!
Speed demon thing is accurate. I swapped to an XR from a pint and found myself pushing past pushback and honestly I did it successfully multiple times but all it takes is 1 time hitting a bump while riding that edge and down you will go. Onewheel isn't about speed it's about carving and floating over terrain like it doesn't exist.
Is the XR worth the money absolutely does FM need to change their ways about right to repair also absolutely. If they don't my next board will be some DIY community thing since the DIY community is very close to duplicating the exact ride of the onewheel.
I just modify mine like warranty doesn’t matter… Everything but the hub motor is super replaceable on this thing!
Amazing review once again man. Keep up the great content because I want to keep watching!
Thank you - I’m planning to!!
I love the Jimmy Chang shirt. Live your best midlife crisis 🤙🏻
I wish I had come up with it…!
@@SimonSaysCanada I got my shirt a couple weeks ago lol
Was that the teletubbies sun @5:39 hahah
Your editing is awesome great review
It was indeed! 😄 Good catch!
50. And riding. Having FUN!
My man!
*Another awesome review.*
⚡🤙🏼🤙🏼⚡
Thankee! Appreciate it!
What an excellent review! Kudos!
Thank you very much! I was just in time for the announcement of the XR’s successor, the Onewheel GT 😁
Where did you get that shirt? I want to get one.
Link is in the description below the video! (Credits goes to Jimmy Chang)
Great one ho you my favorite 39 young punk, cool new concept the reviewing thing!
Thanks mate! You’re only as old as your heart - that’s what aging folk say anywats…!
cool video!!!
I got more for ya!
While the board itself is not my cup of tea, the review was entertaining, and it was a rather worthwhile 20-odd minutes of watching!
Well thank you very much! Entertainment is generally what I’m going for! 😎
@@SimonSaysCanada I think you could review paint drying and it would be worth viewing just for the way you would present it!
Man… Sounds like a challenge!
Hands down the best review of anything I’ve seen on TH-cam in a long time man! Loved the throwback to Pimp my Ride along with all the humor & information sprinkled in. Super cool ride. You FUCKIN NAILED IT! 👻
Thanks man!!! Working on more - stick around!
Awesome review 👌
I enjoyed every minute!
Glad you did! There are A LOT of minutes to enjoy in there!
I live in quebec city and pre-ordered the onewheel GT! if your looking for someone to ride, im there! :) edit: your white XR looks GREAT
Hey!!! I got a GT coming up also, and a few upgrades to the XR to get it more winter-friendly! Let’s meet-up when spring (or the GT) finally show up!!
I'm getting one
Get a GT-series S rather than an XR!!! I
I’m 39 as well 🤘🏼🍻
Float on til 90 mate!
@@SimonSaysCanada just subscribed! float on my float brotha!
Way to go buddy!
luv thw review! I am an electric skateboarder and was wondering if I should add an XR and if its worth it. Thanks
I looooooove the XR. My favorite ride of them all (so far)
I’m 220 pounds do you think it be better to save up for several more months and get a GT or is the XR strong enough to do most things at our weight?
220 is quite allright for an XR - but the GT is stronger , has mors torque and range so if you can go for a GT! I’m just saying that the XR is still a whole lot of fun in it’s own right.
Duuuuude! Lol, great video 👌
Thank you! Took a while to make
You mean over 3 years close to 4
Yeah… Been a little while…
I know the GT is the new flagship but I was offered to buy a under 200 mile XR for 1k. Should I go for it?
YES!
GT is more powerful, but the XR remains a super fun, super customisable platform in its own right!
Hey been watching your Singapore videos cos we want to go. Did u guys move though?
We spent 2020 in Singapore but had to relocate in early 2021 for various reasons. SG is an awesome place though - I’d get back immediately if I could!
Im that romeo 😅 Its gonna cost me double the selling price after duties of importing to india 🇮🇳 Still im gonna get it soon 🤙🏻
You’ll never see pavement (or dirt roads) the same!
It will Nose Dive ...wear ur saftey gear!
I always do!
I feel like if I buy this XR. There going to come out with a new version...
That’s how I felt for the last two years, before finally buying one. Glad I did! And whatever they release next, the XR will not be less cool or fun to ride!
I wouldn’t!
I'm just going to get a SURFWHEEL....! and save money 💰 🤑 💸
LOL 😆........
Good luck! 😁
I would argue that just because something came out 4 years ago doesn’t invalidate the fun-factor it has. I have not tried everything, but the 2 DIY boards I’ve tried, as well as the cheap knock-offs creeping on the market are nowhere close to the 4 years-old XR. But I’m generally not a DIY type of guy though, so if that’s your jam and are able to keep up with the community, you have my respect!
I do agree - and hope - FM announces a bold new revision to the XR for next spring… But who knows!
