Ive found that usually when this is the case, it's due to your foot placement having your toes hanging off more, which as Jake mentioned can sacrifice your ability to turn heel side. Not always the case of course, but foot placement would be the first thing I check out.
@@FatKayakAngler For me it took a while to learn to reliably keep the front knee bent while turning heelside. I was always tempted to automatically straighten the front leg during such turns, which resulted in discomfort/fear, decreased mobility/stability and less shock absorption potential.
@@kekmaestro3627 I had this issue for a while, the main reason turned out to be that I would try to do my heelside turns mostly straight legged, just digging my heel in to make the turn. It helps SIGNIFICANTLY to bend your knees and for lack of a better phrase, stick your ass out lol. You want to throw your weight toward the heel side of the board, and that's just the most effective way. And of course leading with your shoulder, so you will almost be facing forward as your leading shoulder pulls back. Plus, lowering by bending your knees will help a ton with stability anyways and help diminish that feeling that you're gonna fall off the heel side. That feeling is mostly from a lack of available flexibility, as pushing any more heel side will cause you to life your toes up. Getting low and involving your torso and hips to leverage your weight heel side will be much more effective
Jake! Out this weekend and all eyes-(as u know) are on this thing! While carving on the XR, we now have a shout out to other riders " I AINT NO JAKE LEARY YET.... BUT I WILL NEVER STOP TRYING !!" So so very very true ...huge Luv & Respect from Canada man!!!
I taught myself stuff like this naturally through trial and error and a lot of falling. Wish I saw a series like this haha! But now I'm living the float life through all my falls
Explained and presented in this video very well! Thanks for the instruction. I’m only less than 50 miles into this float life, so this is very helpful.
I found out that a lot of people have a hard time with toe side turns on the OW. My GF was one of them, but I had troubles heel side turning. To me it's so much easier to toe side, just like when I was learning on my snowboard. It was more comfortable for me to toe side turn on my snowboard, because I could be closer to the ground and felt like if I felt I could catch myself easier. I don't like leaning back and worry about falling back on my butt. I now can heel side almost as tight as I can heel side, it just took some practice
Another tip: Wear protective gear (there's no shame in helmet/wristguards/kneepads/elbowpads!), so that you can focus on your turn instead of worrying about imminent death 😂
I find doing tight circles toe side way easier than doing tight circles heelside, like my front legs straight but the back bent, to stop feeling like I'm falling into it, altho I do love that fally feeling while turning heelside
shoes made a big difference for me. i was using my everyday hiking shoes ans then i switched to something with a flat sole and it made a huge difference!both of foot fatigue and just the ability to feel the movemnt of the board under you
I keep getting an alert like this "you have been off one of the two footpad zones for more than 10 seconds while going X mph." I can only assume this is when im turning, anyone with advice on how to fix this?
First time I got this warning I was wearing bone conduction headphones. I was tiring toe side hard and all of a sudden I hear a Mac truck horn (the default noise alert)….scared the shit outta me lol
This is how I have trained my body for turns in both directions: If you imagine yourself suspended at the waist while riding, you can just *push the board in the opposite direction that you want to move with your legs*. This one simple technique applies to going forward, backward, left or right, and it keeps your upper body in a nice upright position.
You have great contents but I wish you can also discuss the adjustments needed for non-goofy riders. Most of the techniques (if not all) seem to be only applicable to goofy riders :(
Great tip, thanks for that. Here is another one, while practicing your turn, do it close to a hot chick so if you happen to fall off by accident look up at her and she’ll ask if you are ok, then thats when you it her with the line “I’ve fallen for you.” Your welcome. 😂
Toe side has always been easy for me. Heel side is what I struggle with. I'm sure that'll be the next video.

@@nicoaleman I've been hanging my toes off on the back and my heel off in the front. That's helped a lot, but I think it's more fear than anything.

heel side turns are def my weak point aswell, feels like I'll fall backwards at any given time

These videos are a real benefit to the Onewheel community.
Content was carefully thought out and presented in a professional way. 👍🏅🙂
Stoked you're enjoying them!

Master in mouvement and body adjustments ! Very nice understanding of the biomechanics happening here, sounds like you're a phytherapist 😎
This video helped a lot. Toe side has been my struggle and since watching this I'm getting a lot better. Thanks homies. Keep the stoke alive.
Love this series. It's such basic stuff but I learn something in every friggin episode. Awesome 👍
Excellent, as usual. Well thought out and shot. Thanks for making these!
Great episode!!! Loving this learning series it's pretty comprehensive!! Have only had my wheel for a few months and this stuff helps a ton!
Heck yeah, glad you're digging them!
Top quality content! Cheers mate. Float on.
Thank you day 3 for me...1 week for my hubby.. Loving it
Awesome! So stoked for you guys!
Excellent explanations! Thanks for sharing. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing tips!
Glad you think so!
Thanks for another lesson👍
Thank you so much for this one.
This is straight up helpful info. Had to comment just for the algo lol
Thank you for this! I'm out riding right now and feeling so locked! Why did I never think of using front shoulder? My feet thank you!

Good advice! Wear whatever you need to feel comfortable.
Head injuries are conspiracy theories. But these days most conspiracies are proven to be true…carry on wearing the helmets.
What shoes are you wearing 🤔👍
I’m in 🤟

Pretty legit
Yay turns
😎 yeeewwwww‼️🤙
Will shoes make a difference as well?
skate shoes are our preferred footwear.

This video of yours is better than Jimmy Changs last video about OLD NEWS NOSE DIVES.....which by the way was covered by sooo many other TH-camrs
Post notification gang
AYEEEE

I keep getting an alert like this "you have been off one of the two footpad zones for more than 10 seconds while going X mph." I can only assume this is when im turning, anyone with advice on how to fix this?
Yup! Go to the app settings and turn off the footpad warning notifications.
You fix it by turning off notifications in the app! You only need pressure on both sensors when you're going less than 1mph
@@JakeLeary thanks guys!

That's a good tip!
Everything relies on good balance. Practice your balance board.

Heels and toes but don’t scrape that nose…it hurts and blows.
Your instructional are great, thank you 👌
