Got it :D

[@toddfoster1949]

My favorite EUC tip is to watch, learn, and do. Watch all the best EUC veterans on KZbin, learn something on every video, and go apply it on your next ride (or glide). I have Jimmy to thank for introducing me to this sport, and now my entire family is involved. It started out with seeing a KZbin ad about the Onewheel, which led to my first Jimmy Chang video. I could identify with Jimmy on many levels, and then I come across his EUC videos. Once I saw the range, speed, and endurance of a EUC, it was game over for me! I knew that EUCs were the way to go and I never looked back. We purchased a King Song 16X for me, an MTen3 for the kids to try (they ended up going with scooters), and a TurboWheel Lightning+ for my wife. I'm waiting on my Inmotion V11 as I type these comments. Can't wait! Do you know what all of these purchases have in common? I purchased them all from ewheels.com. I do not say what I am about to say lightly - EWHEELS.COM has provided THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I have ever experienced. I'm 50, so I've had plenty of experience with good and bad customer service. Jason and the entire team at ewheels go above and beyond, every time. You can tell right away how they all love this sport, the community, their products, and their customers. It shows in every way. Our thanks to Jimmy and ewheels! Glide on! #ewheels

[@Jwang888]

Carving to get out of the wobble is the favorite tip for me. Thanks Jimmy for another great video!

[@warlocktony1]

More is not always better.. thank you!

[@nicholasdelbar8860]

I'm still relatively new to EUC's, but the thing that helped me the most is practice the things you don't like. For the longest time I didn't like mounting and dismounting. But I just sat infront of my house, getting on and off the EUC without going far. Now it's second nature and I'm glad I didn't avoid it.

[@ionflow1073]

That is so very true. For the longest time, loose gravel was my Achilles heel. Every time I encountered even the smallest patch, anxiety would set in, and I would freak out and lose control. So I started to ride across gravel every chance I got. Now that I'm more comfortable riding across gravel, I can ride in the street with a lot more confidence and authority.

[@kingdoom1000]

Dancing on the wheel has made me a PRO. I put my earbuds in and listen to my tunes and I dance/carve while balancing. It really builds up your leg muscles quickly!

[@harryhalfmoon]

This is a really good tip, that also helped me get into the flow of riding an EUC. It's so much fun to do!

[@deadbones123]

My favorite EUC tip is to always gear up!

[@ferndawg665]

Watchinf your videos have made me a better rider! :)

[@jeffhansen5495]

Heel/toe stance was definitely crucial for me

[@darreneustis8766]

The biggest single tip that helped me out was to stop looking down at the ground a few feet in front of you and start looking ahead at where you want to go. All of a sudden things got easier and confidence built quickly as I realized my EUC will roll over most of the things I was trying so hard to avoid.

[@alexowens5870]

My favorite tip from this video is "more is not always better". I've been so tempted to upgrade, when I haven't fully mastered the one I have. Be consistent, but never complacent. Great video!

[@trevonbrandhorst8455]

The most helpful tip I’ve learned is becoming aware of how your body movements impact the wheel and learn how to lean into them the right way to carve and turn more naturally!

[@owenatkinson2058]

I don't have an EUC yet but I'm hoping that I can win this to get one. My favorite tip from the video is "more is not always better" because it pertains to everything in life. Saying that you don't need to have a lot of money improve and have a great time

[@vrle933]

Heel and toe method is the best tip i learned from this video! Thanks

[@JoeMuldoon]

The heel toe tip was my favorite

[@vejby9621]

Ride. The more you do the better you will be. Stay safe

[@rickharvey4727]

My favorite EUC tip is that anyone can ride them, not just these young whippersnappers! I don’t have one yet, but maybe someday...?

[@cheefussmith9380]

Love it. i didn't notice you had part 2 out! very cool. I love how the community is so active... you see the same people over and over again! #ewheels is a great place to go, that chart of all the wheels alone is a great resource. at any rate - I could watch a whole video on that heel-toe carving method you guys were talking about. that's new to me!

[@n8_EUC]

Great video as always. Love the practical advice.

[@HeaveHoEUC]

My favorite tips are always when the seasoned riders remind us newbies to wear our safety gear and we see them also still wearing their gear- it makes a big difference- many of us would have been seriously injured by now without that encouragement/advice!

[@WILSONsHobbies]

euc tip, practicing riding on all types of bumps at different speeds and adjusting posture had helped me get better and aware of what works and doesnt work while riding safely and effectively.

[@katflp]

Ride with a supportive group - GREAT TIP!

[@darrell3980]

My favorite tip is faster is not always better, and to always respect the wheel. These are very powerful machines.

[@beastmodemultipleincomestr2092]

I believe my favorite tip was the carving. I did not know how to get better control and now I do. Thanks.

[@arnoldgigigregorio]

LOVE THE carving tip!

[@freshlycharged]

Me too!

[@dragonflyeuc4958]

The most useful tip that made me a better EUC rider was idea tire pressure. I originally had psi too high. Reducing it has almost eliminated wobbles and saved my 50-year-old knees!

[@_Mr.Mayhem_]

Best tip focus on improving your skills. Fundamentals are key to unlocking the full potential of your wheel. #ewheels

[@Clanatkm]

I'm a new rider, so I don't have many tips yet, but being aware of what's happening in front, beside, and behind you is essential. I recently got a hand mirror and no longer have to turn my head around to see what's behind me. I feel so much safer already. #ewheels

[@AlexDeForest]

Favorite tip saved my back. Don't hunch and look forward!

[@AndreiPetunin]

Practice makes perfect.

[@jawsilent13]

Who to ride with, as someone who is new to this learning from someone whon is patient, and lets you set your own pace but also encouraging you to push thru has been great.

[@proteus2121]

Heel toe tip is great.

[@ionflow1073]

The tip that helped me the most was learning how to use the heel/ toe technique to coordinate my turns better while maintaining stability of the wheel. Because of this, I can now slow down quicker, make much sharper turns, and accelerate out of the turns a lot faster. I definitely agree that life is not all about speed. I think control is a lot more useful especially when riding in crowded areas.

[@1Wheel2Poi]

My Favorite tip from this video is to get good with the wheel you have. Your channel as well as others have inspired me to get my first wheel and it will probably be the only one I have for a long time so I plan on following this tip, stay awesome!

[@1818thong]

Thanks for the speed wobble tips!! It was a pleasure meeting you at the SoCal EUC Tour!

[@amjtcsp8]

Don’t have a one But I am looking and I love the tip of practicing new tricks with what u have

[@tofuninja5489]

Turning INTO a fall or lean. I got that from a kuji rolls video. It absolutely sounds counter intuitive but it really helped me get it in the beginning. Like in that learning phase and you start going the opposite way and you start trying turn but you don't know how and start to fall, lean your body and toes into that fall and you'll recover.

[@Jhovan33]

Already learned something. The carving tip is fantastic! Please make more of these videos.

[@JoeMuldoon]

Heel toe method was a great tip.

[@tonygomez185]

Enjoyed the video and the tip of how to better carve with using toe and heel was great. Thanks!

[@noonoo4774]

My favourite tip is to crouch down more when in a position where you're close to losing control such as speed wobbles or going through treacherous terrain. Having bent knees is essential for soaking up bumps, and lowering your centre of gravity can help your balance and regain control when you're about to lose it. It's helped me many times 😊

[@donut2315]

My favourite epic tip would be the part about using the week you have and get better in it

[@colonelcotra5903]

I don't own an EUC yet, but my favorite tip from the video is "More is not always better". I've been looking over all the different wheels out there and their differences, and watching reviews and videos like your one on "How to Choose Your First EUC". I think your advice about getting an intermediate wheel so that it can grow alongside you is great. I know that I'll be following that advice when I make my final pick. #ewheels

[@nicolasleblond3045]

I don't have a EUC yet (pre-ordered my S18 at the end of August) but my tip would be to watch as many KZbin videos as possible before starting. There's great info out there!

[@porallen]

Top riding tip: Be fully aware of your surroundings. Always expect that child, that dog, or that driver to do the unexpected and allow yourself time and space to react.

[@mikerp0]

Consistency and heel toe riding - a total breakthrough for me. #ewheels

[@PieterSadie]

Thank you for your videos. I am a new rider and the tip on how to carve using toe and heel was really useful to me.

[@ImSoooRad87]

#ewheels My favorite tip so far has been "momentum is your best friend, trust the momentum"

[@APRigs]

just got a onewheel pint because of you, now i need an EUC.

[@andygrice6847]

I like the toe and heel turning technique. Getting close to getting my first EUC. Thank you, Jimmy.

[@JohnStruhar]

The heel-toe comment is a great tip. As a new rider, I discovered this instinctively, but it is nice to have someone point out the mechanics of it. I also love the idea of getting better and safer with the wheel you have.

[@jamesordwayultralightpilot]

This is so important because there is always a new video spreading hype about a wheel and they make older wheels seem outdated. When in reality a great wheel will always be a great wheel and most of us haven't even unlocked it's full potential yet. Plus new wheels just like everything have kinks to iron out so it's always better to buy the best wheel that came out 2 years ago. LoL

[@Dangkles]

My favorite tip was to "Ride the wheel you have and learn something new with it." Often times I get caught up dreaming about what I don't have and forget to just enjoy the things I do. Thanks for the reminder, time to go practice ghost rides.

[@Jajja999]

Man this commet section is the best, qll of the nice comments to help out the new riders like myself, i have had my ks 16x for about a week now i've become pretty good i think but I have alot to learn still. I will be coming back to this video the read all the good tips from you all, im in love with this community keep riding guys😊

[@raywillis7811]

You inspired My ride up mt. Evens !

[@kostadimas8210]

Love the video and new to EUC riding, carving out of wobbles tip helped me out a lot.

[@badfish4025]

Don’t have an EUC yet but I feel the best tip I’ve learned applies to all PEVs: Ride your own board. Don’t get so caught up in what more experienced riders are doing and that you can’t do it yet. Ride your own board and within your own skill level and the more advanced stuff will come, in time. Also Law is a badass. He’s the one I bought my XR from at Sevur. Super cool to sit and chat with about EUC and he’s a wealth of knowledge.

[@joshuamilitello3507]

YOU ARE THE BEST

[@mo_euc]

Hi Jimmy, Thanks for your continued informative & entertaining EUC videos. I feel that a big part of what's made me a better rider (from when I started back in 2017) has been to always have safety first and to learn from KZbinrs like yourself and staying informed with the unexperienced challenges ahead. #ewheels has always been there along my journey. Thank you to eWheels as well!

[@caramelzappa]

My favorite EUC tip is the one about the death wobble. It applies to more than EUC's. Onewheelers and Motorcyclists experience the death wobble too and it's really important to no panic and know how to correct yourself without -overcorrecting- and making it worse. Likewise slow is smooth and smooth is fast comes straight from the motorcycle world and it's the absolute truth!

[@thalakos627]

Best tip I have.. stay loose, don’t panic... and always have your towel ;)

[@TheFowlergj]

Good learning tip always look ahead. Not your feet. Thanks for the video.

[@PalaNickers]

I think that the best tip that I got out of this video is that "More is not always better". As I'm redesigning my power/jump pads and 3D printing them this week. I'll keep that in mind. As for "Wobble". I'll try this carve method. The technique that I currently use I learned from a different video. It's simple and has worked every time. You just straighten your legs and push your hips forward. Works like magic. Cheers!!

[@marksac5080]

Riding slow has improved my riding skills more than anything else. Circles and figure 8's all good too.

[@wayneradiotv]

my favorite tip for riders that are looking to get a little more intense on your daily rides: when starting to tackle higher speeds, make sure you have a way to monitor your speed without having to take your eyes off the road. you don't wanna have to pull out your phone at 30mph+. Some people use small bluetooth speakers, but if you have DarknessBot, you can set up a level 3 vibration alarm to go off after a certain speed. Anytime I break 34mph, I'll feel a constant vibration in my pocket and know to not push it much farther. An excellent practice for riding hard, but not cutting out. Stay safe! #ewheels

[@julietittler9171]

I loved this video. I’m waiting for my first wheel to arrive from backorder, a new 16x. My fav tip, not knowing how to ride yet, except theoretically, is the belief and bravery, and how to carve. I also like the ride with people one.

[@ballista7367]

Favorite tip is carving to get out of speedwobbles. It works not just for eucs but onewheels too!

[@rapidnationfpv8431]

Love this video a lot and thanks for making such!❣️ This is Michael Amusan, the lol boy that has extreme enthusiasm for euc... Never had one yet so all the tips are cool for me... Thanks Sir Jimmy Chang!

[@coltonhaworth2198]

Your the reason I bought a onewheel pint best money ever spent

[@terrys.2940]

My favorite tip is staying relaxed, and using only certain muscles. After a while, you will start feeling which muscles you need to use and which should stay relaxed.

[@jamesordwayultralightpilot]

Definitely but it comes in time. I found the first 200+ miles were just me trying to find the perfect setup of pad positions and pedals and pedal angles. After that it felt like just part of my feet.

[@johnduffey13]

My favorite advice I have received so far was to reach out to the community and online forums. So much learning material - from an excel comparison sheet to answers for every question I've had. Learned about it on your Chooch & Chang video! And that $500 would really help in getting my first wheel from #ewheels thank you for the opportunity!

[@beeraiii]

For new riders. My biggest tip that it's all in the hips and knees. I find that when teaching beginners, they focus too much on balancing with their upper body as if they were on a tightrope. Focus on twisting with your hips and using your knees to manipulate the direction of the wheel. The moment you notice yourself falling left or right, shift the wheel in the direction you're falling in. You can see if you overcorrected or under-corrected depending on how you fall off the wheel. When you're making the correction for the first time. You really need to ignore the "oh shit" moment as I like to call it. It's okay to scuff up your wheel and let it fall. Go for the correction rather than jumping off the wheel when your danger senses go off. Getting the 1st correction right will give you an immense amount of confidence to keep on going even with all the bruises you get when learning euc! Best of luck to beginners out there. My learning experiences was frustrating but now it's incredibly fun and I'm glad I learned!

[@jamesordwayultralightpilot]

Hell yeah bro, everytime I have an oh shit moment it's like my legs just react and I always feel like I just leveled up in some way. Muscle memory is one of the most fascinating things to me.

[@RR-yi5oc]

I just started learning but my best tip so far really helped me free mount which I was having alot of trouble doing. Instead of going straight for trying to mount the second foot, first spend some time simply lifting the your foot up and balancing on the mounted foot. Even if it is for a second or 2. This helped me to be able to keep stable while getting the other foot on the petal and gave me time to adjust it.

[@rlsimmons900]

As a heavier rider I found using toe pressure like a gas pedal for increasing speed instead of leaning too hard/quick and possibly overpowering the wheel. This also helps keep body centered over wheel and can stay upright and run out of a cutoff vs face planting in middle of a MJ lean.

[@jamesordwayultralightpilot]

Definitely I use this method for climbing hills offroad too because I don't like putting my CG so far in front of the wheel to keep it moving because once she starts spinning you're gonna faceplant into the hillside. LoL

[@RobHitch]

V interesting video! Cool tips! 😎 Thank you🙏

[@akeilah18]

My favorite tip that makes me a better rider is to learn new skills. A lot of times I think about buying a new euc because of the new features, but there’s nothing better than learning a new skill that’ll stick with you no matter what euc you ride. My new skill I’m learning now is carving. Not at the jumping point just yet.

[@techyboss4732]

my favorite tip from the video is ride with a supportive group because they influence you to try new things. #ewheels

[@FastRX8]

Best Tip - "More is not always better"

[@FedUnarce007]

Coming from the OneWheel side pushes me to want to carve on my EUCs! Good to know I've been utilizing the heel, toe method all this time, lol!

[@claytonmoore2671]

I started my electric rideables journey by hoping on a friends pint. After that I had to have one and thanks to some jimmy chang videos I settled on buying a used Onewheel plus. I later bought a brand new XR and loved it! Only a few months later another friend introduced me to the EUC that he had purchased off a friend for a few hundred dollars that had the same range and speed of my XR... I learned how to ride an EUC on a grass yard with nothing but trial and error over and over again. My tip for someone learning to ride an electric unicycle for the first time is to find a nice flat hard surface area like a parking lot. I believe it was harder to learn on the grass with all the bumps and uneven dips throwing my balance off. The other important thing that helped me was realizing that I had more balance and control if I left a little space between my legs and the pads on the wheel. When learning to ride it for the first time you are going to constantly over correct and turn without trying at low speeds, if you keep your legs and hips centered over the wheel and let the wheel do the learning you can save it much easier. Lastly scraping the foot pedals is fine and you can use the ground to regain balance. DON"T GIVE UP! The best things in life are difficult at first. After riding my friends Kingsong s16 I am hooked and saving up currently for an inmotion V11. I will definitely be turning to ewheels when I can afford to get one, they are the best and I have only heard wonderful things about them. #ewheels

[@craigsimons4930]

New to EUC's so best tip so far is not leaning too far forward to accelerate and go fast. It's helped a bit with the wobbles.

[@marcelovillalva4547]

My favorite tío was to get on the wobble and learn to dominante it so it doesn't dominate you

[@revolvingrider2146]

My tip is : start to learn indside your own apartment. I have a small apartment and live inside Copenhagen, Denmark. It was scary to start driving in traffic, so I taught myself to start and stop and do very hard turns (2 bedroom apartment). And now after only 4 months I'm riding my Gotway MSP in Copenhagen Traffic and I'm carving in/out between cars. 👍❤️# YouDontNeedSpaceToLearnEUC

[@senseivegan]

I meet Law at the Amazing Wheel Life Rally event. Law is a highly skilled technical genius when it comes to riding. Another thing about Law he’s a very chill down to earth dude, he’s a real nice. (Tip) Practice as much and often as possible! #ewheels

[@freestyler7]

I liked the idea of a self induced wobble in order to get more accustomed to it.

[@remy456thu2]

Definitely heel to toe helped a lot with carving still learning great video #ewheels

[@Goundey]

Thank you so much ! vey informative vid :)

[@Yodaspirit45]

WoW this Ewheels unicycle looks great fun to use anywhere. I don't own any electric vehicles at present so the only EUC tip/advice i can offer you is to buy and wear body protection gear you wouldn't want to fall off a Unicycle or any other E vehicle through an accident without it.

[@sabbis]

Hmm I think I carve in the opposite way (not always but mostly) where I use the inside foots heel and outsides foot toes as pressure points for stability. I get a little less pedal dip when applying pressure at the outside pedal. Great video thank you!

[@g.mic_0575]

Recently got into EUC. I’m learning on a KingSong 14M, it’s my brothers first EUC and he’s been riding for about 3 yrs now. About few wks into it and I’m able to mount on it without holding on to something and able to ride around the park. Great video and great riding tips. I learned a lot of good tips on how to improve turning and getting control of the wheel. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@mikedefilippis331]

theres always more to learn on the wheel you own.. #ewheels

[@derickhufford7992]

I still have my first wheel on pre order, but all the tips and info you have provided has been very helpful!

[@cdiaz1313]

I ordered a V11 from eWheels. I will be receiving it next week. I don't have any tips yet because the V11 will be my first EUC. Great video, Thanks for the tips. #eWheels.

[@caryEUCNutbar]

The heel toe tip was something i knew nothing about. I'll be trying to learn this method and hopefully i'll master it to a good degree.

[@donglelure1343]

#ewheels staying relaxed is super important. I love the heel toe method for carving. So much more stability!

[@user-ke9yk5qp3u]

I skipped jumping on it and taking off. I spent days and days in my house practicing balance and pendulums and balancing on one leg and going as slow as I possibly could. Then when I finally took my first ride outdoors I was pretty surprised at how well I did.

[@ThaBlackCobra]

Amazing pro tips great jobs guys

[@Jherrild]

I think my best tip is, the more you carve and play with the wheel, the more engaged you are with the terrain. This is more fun, but it's also more safe- because you're already constantly shifting your weight back and forth, your reactions to small bumps and obstacles are faster. #ewheels

[@eucboi7595]

#Ewheels Thank you so much for the video Jimmy! I have watched your videos for awhile now, and literally just realized that this whole time I wasn't subscribed! Now I am, and I look forward to getting notifications on your new content! I am a 17 year old rider from Canada, and I started riding when I was 15. I started with an Airwheel X3, and quickly learned how to ride, but outgrew the wheel. Next was an Inmotion V8, and I quickly got tired of that as well. Now I have a KingSong 18XL, and I am having a hard time being satisfied with the wheel I have, while at the same time knowing that there are better, cooler wheels out there. This video reassured me that the wheel I have is perfectly fine(which it 100% is), and that I don't need to always be caught in the consumer trap that the hobby sometimes promotes. I am working on jumping with my newer, heavier 18xl, and really the best tip I ever got was to add pads. on my V8, I didn't put pads on for the longest time, and as soon as I did, I felt like I had way more control and connection to the wheel! Once again, thank you so much for the video! rest assured that you have helped me not go broke aha.

[@ggerhart]

I like the tips on not over doing it! #ewheel

[@jeffrubio7466]

OW XR + growler owner here, but definitely interested in the potential of EUC! I didn't realize the importance of heel toe for EUCs. Learning this concept really helped me with my onewheels.
