Honestly my favorite upgrade for trails... Feels sooo much safer.

Curb nudge is a must have skill, for sure! 😎

Thx man! And yea...sadly we had a guy go down on this ride and brake his ankle.. Wishing good safe floats for all the remainder of the year!

Best upgrade is a self upgrade! You got this!

Just went from 235 to 183. If I can do it anyone can. Better food and VR workouts, Supernatural the bomb. Good luck and Happy Floating

I just checked it... was around 9 PSI, 6" Rim, Trail Pro 2 tire, and I'm around 150lbs 🤙🏼

@ThatsGinterEV sweet thanks! Have you ever blown out a tire from being too low? Just got a pint s before Christmas and I live in Northern Ontario (CAN) and have been trying it out in the snow, so far liking low for traction in snow but heard some rumblings about blowing out a tire going too low.. I obviously don't ride as hard as you guys as im new but still worry about it or damaging the hub/motor

Now is the time to ride here!! We always looking for fellow floater addicts!!

😉

Every time I ride I shoot for another Happy New Yeeewwwwwwww!! 😜 Thx for chiming in Alex, and giving me a dope thumbnail still! 🤘🏼

It's definitely the best upgrade to the board and to yourself! I remember when some of my heavier friends first upgraded to the GT-S and were like..."Wait, so this is how it feels when YOU ride Ginter?!?" ...they could finally get up the steeper trails 😂😂😂

#1 Goal,,,,,,,,No gnarly wipe-outs that leave me laid up for 4 months of no riding.

Small world!

Nothing like that. I did have issues with staying connected to the Wifi for the RGB controller, but the BT connection to the GT-V VESC controller has been solid. For the wifi connection, I know our phones will disconnect if it doesn't see an internet connection tho.

😂😂😂

Heavily depends on the kind of controller you use, the ubox and the thor controller all have dedicated ports for accessories and lights (5v and 12v) so if you have one of those controllers you can effectively just plug in to those ports and you have lighting. With controllers like the focer, you do need to have a separate lighting controller, which adds to the complexity.

Yea, I only briefly looked at those other options. Once I build out the XR-V, I'll have to see what else is available for that board.

I rarely use that macro lens, but when I do...it sure does come in handy!!

Thanks! I'm always trying to put out high quality content that people enjoy! 🤙🏼

Thanks! As for the shirt...it was one of TFL's mystery tees, so I don't know if they offer it anymore - thefloatlife.com/products/mystery-tee?_pos=1&_psq=mystery&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Yaaaa, been hearing good stuff about that setup!! I was just trying to fix a broken board this time around.

@ Seems to be an awesome board! I was referring to you buying the GTS. I would’ve bought a Floatwheel or Funwheel instead even at that price because the GTS is already way overpriced. It realistically a $2k board and still can’t match either of the boards I mentioned.

I love it, and as much as I hype up Onewheels and accessories, you are right - this hobby is expensive!! I try to remind my friends not to buy anything until you feel that you have enough experience and skill to KNOW you can benefit from it. As I explained in a previous video - the 5" hub gives you a lot more sidewall which gives you tire suspension that can absorb all that uneven terrain. As you may have seen, I was quite comfortable moving at speed quickly on some of this chunky trail cause I knew it wouldn't just bounce me off (lowered tire pressure is a huge help too!). As far as the tire goes, it's a very high tread tire...something I know I can also take advantage of on the loose gravel and sand I come across here in the washes of the desert. Holding onto that ground traction allows me to take the turns faster without slipping out. So yea, it's a safer ride for me and if it saves me from a hospital bill, then it's worth the cost! 😜

@ Well funny thing about hospital bills… I’m still recovering from a horrible freak onewheel accident Oct 9. I almost died actually. Ripped my artery when my arm bent completely backwards. My son saved my life by using his shirt as a tourniquet & calling 911 !!! My floatwheel lost brakes on a small hill. The hall sensor failed ugh.

Yikes, sorry to hear about the accident. Crazy. Glad you're recovering well enough to consider going back out there. As to your question to Steve... as someone who has gone through a lot of different Onewheel mods, the 5" hub has had the most impact of a single modification, though really, it's two modifications, as there's no factory tire that's 5". With TFL providing the cast version of the hubs, they're more affordable, but still expensive. I have two boards with 5" n52 hubs, a GT with a Street Pro 2 and a GT-S with the Pioneer. The GT-S is my dirt/trail board and it has the most benefit from the smaller hub with the added cushion/absorption. I also had GT with the Tech Rails 5' n52, that I had a Maxxis Rain on, and it was fabulous as well, but I gave that to my brother for his 45th birthday, and he's still loving that board with that set up. For me, looking at the bottom line, knowing that I have the choice between new rails or new hub/tire, and was thinking about the most impactful modification... it's the hub and tire, even though they're the more expensive choice. Rails would be my second upgrade.

@@SeanPaulNotTheSinger oh thx!!! yeah they’re out of stock of course but I’m definitely gonna get one now with your recommendation and yes, I’m barely getting back on my board but only paved easy flat pavement for now cause I’m not supposed to be even riding yet lol.

@@bigwavedaveskate my Physical Therapy doctor used to give me garbage for riding my Onewheel to my PT appointments... after a few weeks, I taught him how to ride. Take it slow, it'll all come back.

😎

I'm actually working on a vid about just this! But the short of it is, that in this video, I'm using Electrolytes in the GT-S (they are also avail for GT, XR Classic, & Pint series). And there is another RGB controller you can get for the GT-V that I'm using as well. Handy dandy links below 😉 FM Board Option (Pint/XR Classic/GT/GT-S): oakcityelectrolytes.com/products/gt-electrolytes Floatwheel GT-V RGBs: www.etsy.com/au/listing/1802942629/floatwheel-gtvrgb-system?fbclid=IwY2xjawHBYjpleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHR8_AkOm-4MyEX5EoQa5KZukyvftzrkq4BysNzI2gk8I7dFRvVjJh3A2hQ_aem_mMu2Gcp5f5GZH-x667ZpCA

Sweet, hoping for this bad boy to last a while too! 🤘🏼

Stoked to hear you dug it Jay! 😎

Sweeeet, my buddy just got his and is installing it this weekend! I'm super curious to try it out as it looks like a great balance between Enduro and Pioneer! Unfortunately, it isn't available for the 5" I needed, else I woulda got it too!

Thx! The low light is shot with the Sony a6700 and a 15mm f1.4 prime lens to let in as much light as possible. Either 4k 120fps for slow mo, or 4k 30fps, @ 1/60 shutter (to match other cameras) and Sony's standard color profile with light color grading in Davinci Resolve. So, no log, but that camera is in the highest quality mode and can shoot 10bit, so I have a more color data to work with in post. 🤓

Only on my GT-V...(and XR-V in the future). I can't level Steep & Deep WTF rails with stock FM software...and even Standard WTF rails only levels with maxing out the 3 degree nose up, and it only kicks in after you get moving. Feels off if I'm rocking back and forth or just chilling at a stop light. 😕 Also...I'm team symmetry!

Haha I feel that! Sometimes the free stuff is the best part! 😉
