When i had my crash (cut out at 52 mph, was in the ER with broken ribs, road rash and dislocated shoulder) it really killed my confidence. Still now if i ever try reach for the same speed im very apprehensive. But overall it has made me a much better rider. Mainly eliminating my feeling of being invincible.. I now have a much better sense of my speed than i ever did before and much more aware of what the wheel is doing. I suggest Jason start practicing carving while breaking, I found it is always the best way to eliminate a hard wobble, the carve does not even have to be too drastic. It's a skill that can be practiced, by creating wobbles from braking harder with body remaining upright.
I bought Graeme boots, Leatt X-Frames, Icon body armor (top/bottom), MSR jacket, and a crapload of other safety gear in anticipation of my first EUC (Falcon). Everytime I think i've overspent/over-prepared, I'm blessed to watch another video of someone with far more time than me (0 ride time) on an EUC crashing while wearing what I consider "minimum safety gear' and they consider 'adequate' for the video... either through bravado or ignorance. Even with all the best equip you can get a freak serious injury in a simple crash, it's about confidence before you fall for me, especially after I read about the aftermath of various injuries with poor/no gear. I don't need all that @ 59 yrs (rash, breaks due to poor padding, etc).
Wobbling at those low speeds sounds like over inflated tire pressure. Try putting the tire pressure at 28 to 30 pounds. I had the same problem with my E3 once I said the tire pressure is 28 pounds I could hit 55 without flinch.
for Jason as a new rider I wish I had these details to connect to my ride especially the footing aspect. I like to ride so that I'm not locked in by the pads I tend to do a foot placement I can feel the edge of the pedals on the center of my feet and have tried pointing my toes outward at the front as well but that is not yet determined to help my riding. Combating wind I place my hands behind my back and if I have a jacket on keep it zipped up. Another wind related compensation is for me to keep my right foot flat and push the ball of my left foot into the front edge of the pedal...it works wonders but it may also be best to this this footing when not doing turns as it also makes it hard to shift your balance in turns. can't say wobbles occur too much except on really hard braking but that would be an emergency maneuver and I ride with lots of space from curbs and slow down way before I get near people and way ahead of cars that might pull out in front me etc. Here is what is good to practice just try pointing you knees outward bent knees and ride as far outward on those pedals see how that feels. Do not land on any footing or stance until you have tried many to see what really suits you some people even ride with an offset stance left foot further forward than the right. Last suggestion is practice on grass once you get that cement will look so easy.Hope this helps someone .
Hay Duff did you see how much plastic was ground down off my chest plate when I hit concrete at less than 50kph. Also my hips skinned and dislocated couldn't walk right for two weeks until they lucky clicked back right. And yeah elbows skinned to bone. Yip Mr Duff your in great shape but your body hugging t shirt is going to look not as good when eventually you fall. My opinions. You know better so I definitely shall do my best to post a large I told you so if you fall without gear on. Wishing you nice success and to be well.
No mention of basics like carving, he should be on the smallest wheel until you've learned that to level ten. Such as wobbles. He didn't even say he carving for wobbles, oh dood, no don't ride these big wheels is my opinion unless you've learned basics like wobbles
@@Duf level 10 on a airwheel is to know wobbles, carving, beeping it, dips, tilt back. All experiences to level 10 happen at less than let's guess and say 15kph. A person who never rode to level 10 gets on a big wheel then he has no idea of level 6, first wobbles, foot placement to far forward enabling easier wobbles, he has not experienced enough methods to shake wobble nor his personalized set up, which take a long time to tune, think about how long we tinker with our pads. After watching your friend there I'm thinking it's not responsible of me to put a not passed level one rider on a big wheel. Level one being learning a small wheel to level ten. Then go up s weight class. as is where is use at own risk my opinions.
@@WillofNewZealand I don't subscribe to a standard progression that fits every one. Lord knows I did nothing of the sort as I was completely self taught and learned by doing, and failing. I am sure he learned from this mishap.
@@Duf I'm not advising anyone to learn on a bigger wheel where wobble is likly to kick in at 55kph causing death than at 15kph on a small wheel causing a skinned elbow.
@@Duf hi Mr Duff, you jumped to an assumption of one method. Perhaps that's your way to box an opinion. It's not boxed, I never said do it one way. But as noted I'm fascinated by your incorrect assumption jump. Fun. Perhaps we are far apart and maybe I'm not subbing correctly, the not wearing chest Armour gives a different view and opinion of seeing your chest in t-shirt riding. I kinda feel Perhaps the beer is blissfully floating you to reflect the Duff Simpsons character. I wear my gear. Coolness eh, I like my bones with skin on, and for those reasons I'm out. Unsubbed. For now. Feel free to ask me to re sub any time. Thank you Mr Duff, wishing you nice success and to be well.

It definitely shook his confidence
When it wobbles, try getting your body lower to the ground to help try to stable the wheel.
Ok I will let Jason know

Wow that is quite the gear set up for a Falcon!

Today I had a ton of wind adjustments for the ET range test!!
I moved 4 months ago from AZ to CO and so far find it much more of an issue, the wind makes me insecure even with thousands of miles on my Sherman.
Is that ls2 getting after your neck and shoulders? Had the exact helmet..
Nope, feel ok but the Scorpion Exo probably built up my neck muscles
Is this the 1300lb spring with tubeless tire?
It was swapped to a 900lb spring. I believe it is a tubeless tire.
Looks Good
..and 1sec from 13:37
Yes as intended
Hope Jason OK Duf, and it doesn't knock his confidence to much.
Shook him up a little bit
or in Jason's case........DUMPIN DONUTS!!!!!!
Lol
Note to self: always record new riders 😋✌️. Hope for fast recovery for Jason
Yea I told him I need to have a camera on him at all times
just sorry you didnt record it.. ho well... :P
I saw it, next best thing lol
I love your vids but ur audio is lacking, its always only on left side, would be great if you could fix it. Keep it up!
I have heard a couple mention that. I typically am not listening with headphones but I will try to figure out why that is with my DJI mic.
Sorry Jason crashed. Sorry you didn't record it.
I'm not sure but I think Jason crashed.....
@@Duf We should ask Jason.
@@roghaj Could have been another viral video ;)
Like lambs to the slaughter :þ

Oh I totally agree, anything less than full body armor and it's going to be a shit show with road rash
Insta 360 will make your life easier.
I have the One R, might get an X3
@@DufThey are announcing the x4 tomorrow. X3 is fantastic but might want to hold off at least until then
Seems like the ET Max crashed i'm not positive.
Yea I'm not sure but maybe

What a way to play down your crashed gear. Sorry man. Thats why i cant let friends play with my expensive toys
Shit happens
