Electric Unicycle Pro Mens Final! (Shred Fest): On Board Commentary (Insane Enduro Style Race)

[@senior_e_moment]

Hi Chooch, thanks for posting. I can now relive my first EUC race mistakes forever! For those asking, I am the rider who spun out just past the hair pin turn. The course changed for the finals to include the log drop deep descent. I didn't realize we would still do the short section that brings you up the terrain park in reverse direction. When I saw chooch drop in that trail, I thought he made a mistake. The marker was flapping on the ground, so I kept going. Because of my "Senior e-Moment(R)" I'll never know if I could have earned the podium spot along with my Son and good friend, Chance. Amazing experience and Lesson learned for the next ones... and since we're adding categories, how about Over 50 !

[@kaygee1623]

That's the toughest course I've seen so far, congratulations to all the participants..........🙌🙌

[@electroncycles]

This looks ultra fun! It's my dream to get enough gear together and stuff to race in the future. I would probably bust my ass if I tried something like this right now lol

[@romeolajh1602]

My dream is to be rich and bang many chicks. But I like that someone dream is just to own this simple thing which everyone can buy

[@Whoooaaaa]

Just got my V12 and I hope I can get as good as you. Keep up all the good content 🤘

[@wolfkoolaid722]

That's an insane race course. Very cool.

[@Skrippykrotangler]

Very nice ride on a non-suspension wheel Chooch. Can't wait to see what you can do in a race like this on the Master.

[@groundcontrolgainesville4841]

Tough course. Suspension probably was the key here.

[@RevRides360]

Great race man! Love to see you representing 💪

[@LCSRacing]

Perhaps should be timed runs, similar to mtb Downhill racing.

[@russellzauner]

100 percent emoji!

[@kimpassey5618]

Yea I 💯

[@thewheelneil1379]

There were timed runs, to seed the these group start races.

[@choochtech]

nah this is real enduro racing, I like this format. Next one needs to be 15 laps! Yeww! Loved this style, wouldnt change a thing. Just want riders to learn to pass properly. You gotta wait for an opportunity or your opponent to make a mistake if the course is narrow, not run them over lol

[@mcronfpv8736]

I want to put something together a race in the Alps ; but more like a MTB enduro (1 start every 30s) , over a day, 6 or 7 timed specials mixing all kind of terrain where everybody can bomb, and transitions where you can just chill and ride with each other.

[@UliKuder]

Bin total begeistert! Unglaublich was ihr aus Euerem Körper rausholt, das muss ja eine ungeheuere Belastung für die Beine sein. Respekt!

[@Monociclese]

AWSOOOOOOOOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! THIS iS OFF ROADING NOT THOSE STUPID CRAWLING WALLS VIDEOS PEOPLE DO IN POLAND OR CHINA!!!! A THOUSAND TIMES CONGRATULATIONS!!! Love from Brazil, man!

[@geniuskev9933]

That race was amazing man🤣🤣🤣

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

EUC...Electric Unicross. Great video man ! Thanks for sharing !

[@matthewbelcher2231]

Incredible Race ! Toughest Track I've Seen So Far ! Congratulations To All Competitors !

[@kennethcorley9333]

I managed to ride one for thirty seconds by holding on to a wheeled trashcan. And then I lost my balance and dumped it. Congratulations to all participants! You are thrilling to watch

[@CarlosGarcia-dr7bd]

FROM TIMES SQUARE NEW YORK CITY !!! YOU GO CHOOCH 1 LOVE & PEACE

[@Simonisms]

That event looks like a blast 🤩

[@jeffs4483]

It's cool to see this sport evolve just because of the introduction of suspension wheels. I saw it coming years ago, I was like when are they gonna add suspensions? Next I think they should add roll cages on all suspension wheels, and maybe a way to quickly attach a bike frame with front wheel to quickly mod it as an electric dirt bike.

[@juliendm9846]

What an insane race bro ! Must have been a lot of fun ! The EXn must be great for a speed race but I think you might have been better with your lighter and more nimble MSP on such a hard trail like this, don't you think ?

[@MVFIT]

You did great chooch! That course wasn’t easy! It was fun watching this video of your camera angle. Thanks for posting it. I had a great time getting to know you in person ! 🤟🏼 hope to see you at northwest ranch race! Check Out the EUC womens race at shredfest ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJamkH6Mhsdgaq8

[@juanpablogonzalezs.v.8319]

Oh my gosh that was insane!!!

[@seandupuis7376]

Damn, you got left in the dust. Literally

[@GenghisKhan311]

This is insane..your skill is incredible 👏

[@BestFavorite]

Looks so fun! Love the ppl cheering

[@d_skrilla6479]

It’s nice to see all these dirt bike courses be welcoming to EUCs.

[@VIDANEVISUALS]

Blue/purple rider is a magician 100%

[@DonovanWert]

Great ride Chooch!!! Awesome 😎 thanks brother!!🙏

[@sherlock1895]

Lee, we need to take up this sport. Are you with me? Cheers, Gary

[@zThisPlay]

that holeshot was pretty insane

[@DEFACTO9]

Chooch.. cmon man... its not like you to bring up the rear.. get busy push it... lol 😂 😂 Insane... that was sick!

[@choochtech]

Yea I was scared of being bulldozed over again. I was not even gonna race. I decided to take it easy hang back and film. Still got 4th of 6. Im getting me a master with a snowplow attachment for the next race XD

[@a.d.h.dn3d461]

@@choochtech snowplow haha haha

[@russellzauner]

@@choochtech someone else suggested and maybe mention to the organizers that most races like this are timed runs not like boardercross (in the olympics, 4-6 snowboard riders elbow each other while racing downhill). No more eating dust, no more wondering if some inexperienced/rude rider is going to ambush you on a turn, you get to race on your own merits with nobody dicking with you, it's kind of the right way to do it and in painful hindsight I'm sort of ashamed as an experienced extreme trail/sports person that I didn't bring it up first. Now if you were racing on a legit groomed motorcross/supercross track...it would be 1000% a different story. PIR (Portland International Raceway) does Thursday night MX races and nobody here in Portland has (I'm still in physical therapy, rehab, so I'm not even riding my fat tad rn) approached or tried to ride the track there with a EUC - there are also like 15 clay neighborhood speedway tracks scattered around the state where one could run really fast races and clay is sticky (that's why they water it down sometimes) so it would probably be super fun on an EUC. Hey you could even do figure 8 races just to be exciting and stuff if you miss the danger of events like todays - it would just be more controlled and have actual strategy involved. What I just watched was akin to demolition derby mixed with downhill MTB and it was absolutely terrifying the entire time, especially as a rider from the mountains, jungles, and swamps of Oregon. I will reiterate - any trail type race here in Oregon that is interesting enough to challenge riders ride is going to HURT PEOPLE BADLY if they run it like this. You've been to some of the milder terrain at Waldo Lake, that is nothing compared to what you get at the OHV parks, Dunes, or wilderness trail system in the PNW. Also you need to wear very tough rash guards as the limbs that spear you and run you through you don't really see coming, by definition. They'll skip off your chest plate and rip/tear right through your jersey (and whatever meat it encounters, multiple arteries likely, and it is NOT a clean wound). It's the Ring of Fire, baby! People die when their GPS fails, it's literally that place. We need to be smarter if we want to do this for the next 50 years without offing ourselves.

[@russellzauner]

also they need to run classes by weight not sex. Once there are enough entrants we'll be able to separate into other classes like non suspension/suspension, power ratings of EUC motors, et al, but for now, it seems to me that it's most fair to put people in weight classes because all things equal, your size is going to determine your acceleration, cornering, and braking - the bigger people that are able to get into the sport now because of improvements in EUC performance are going to be at a huge disadvantage in a flat track race given the same or similar performing wheel.

[@danmano478]

@@russellzauner Really? Actually, I think it's the opposite. Maybe this was the case before apparition of heavier, torquier, faster wheels like Master. At that time, heavier guys could use weight as an excuse for the lack of skills. Nowadays, heavy guys are in advantage, being able to access faster the power of heavy wheels, due to their weight. Look at the guy who pass Chooch, flying. You can see at the end of the race that he is significantly heavier than Chooch, which gives him the edge in terms of stability, acceleration and braking. You better want to say that smaller heavy guys may be in advantage versus taller, heavy or not, guys in terms of stability.

[@pantloaded]

yall def got some crazy core and leg muscles

[@TwoFingeredMamma]

What a fantastic idea to use your knees as shock absorbers. I can see these guys being crippled later in life. This would be a great idea on a smooth circuit but not off road. I pray for your knees. Bless x

[@SV-Isla]

your praying for them, isnt that all they need? surely god would not ignore your prayers.

[@5thHouse]

You act like this is the first extreme sport you've come across and that anyone interested in anything that causes wear and tear on the body is a fool. Why even comment if it's just to chastise and finger wag? Keep your prayers.

[@thefoss721]

Gnarly track man!!!! That was sick! Good work not laying here out

[@jaybomb5022]

Didn't expect to see a v11 hauling ass lol

[@juki0h391]

Damn, they are fast!

[@laurencresap603]

This was really exciting.

[@SpencerWheelman]

Hey man, it's Spencer from shredfest. I'm glad to see you still raced, even if you were keepin it easy. I still really want to see the crash video haha

[@XCaliKev]

👍🤠 I’ve never seen this before until couple days ago. I used to race Mtn bikes and GPV (downhill bmx bikes with no pedals hitting 100 mph) people thought it was crazy. But it was fun (and kinda scary) so I understand the mindset but I still think you guys are nuts. Have fun. (There’s a video of one of my races that was on ESPN that now is on KZbin, if you want to see, let me know I’ll send link)

[@Cons2911]

Didn’t even know there are races. Sick

[@CadeBrazil]

Awesome ride... amazing... I'd love to see on S22 on this racing.

[@Euc_spirit]

Thank you, awesome footage!

[@Taro.Music.]

Hahaha Didn't realize it was you who got passed by Salvador xD Great Race

[@vintagemxer9165]

A lot of work must have gone into making that track. I don't ride these things - dirt bikes only. Looks hard.

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Great stuff 👍 Suprised to see non suspension wheels!! Cheers

[@douglas9607]

Is that noise your knees rattling? Goooo

[@Leorgo]

more interesting than a bike race

[@UStride]

Why did you choose thr EXN? Just curious! This was intense. Amazing POI. Did you guys get a trial run first before racing?

[@choochtech]

Yea man ill post the time trial.

[@FourthWayRanch]

I dunno bout those leashes, I hope they're dynamic line, that heavy wheel flying off at a tangent could apply a lot of force. we were running the trails today on the V11, little over 6000 miles on it, about $13 worth of electricity used.

[@SB5SimulationsFerroviairesEEP]

Cool! Stéph.

[@rs4race]

I can feel and taste the dust.

[@Alex-im6or]

Why no suspension wheel for that?

[@russellzauner]

Unicross is now a thing. *dials the Olympic Committee*

[@garyfosho]

My knees hurt now

[@Cons2911]

I can’t even make a turn without being scared lol

[@EUCBlitz]

Where was this race? Fantastic video

[@SuperGeert123]

What wheel you using ? And the others ?

[@choochtech]

I was on the EXN no suspension the leaders were on the Begode master. That was when it first came out, the two leaders made this trail and practiced it weeks before the race. If I would have had a suspension wheel then I would have done much better.

[@napraznicul]

PHOA!.. nobody died on that EUC DOWNHILL race.. That would be pretty difficult to RUNNING ON OWN FEET, i can't imagjne how would be for a medium level EUC rider.. probably DEADLY.. Those which came on first places are completely INSANE, scuse me 😅

[@mcdavis3406]

That's what I'm talking about dude.. I would love to do that.. I have to see if that is a thing near me.. I wanna try lol

[@thewheelneil1379]

[@EUCBlitz]

That was fun to watch. Where is this?

[@interdimensionaleagle6685]

EPICCCCCC

[@gordonhimoura4813]

Where did you mount your camera?

[@cosplaydiver]

wait. are they tethered to their EUC by their waist? Where can I get those?

[@lexanson]

knees has left the chat

[@tannerhowells9909]

When the guy wemt down and you tried hard not to hit him and asked if he was ok, i could tell the race for that moment didn't matter.

[@nomadmusk]

Where do these get announced? I woulda totally tried out!

[@thewheelneil1379]

@seeknshred

[@TheMarkAvreliy]

🤣🤣🤣 Chooch ate all the dust, ran over the dude hand 1:50 been starting excuses before it 🤭 Then 5:47 😂 Pierre-Richard comedy. Thank u for movie, i was laugh hard

[@russellzauner]

Yep, role modeled very well for us PEV people and unis in particular

[@btblou]

phew, your knees sure get a good work out

[@EUCLimburg]

Verry cool

[@julsride3596]

Where and when is this???

[@rfiskillingussoftly6568]

Beck ya!

[@Scarecrow3330]

How do one balence on that thing? I cant even balence on a scateboard

[@astyn3117]

Can’t tell what Wheels they have, anyone know ?

[@russellzauner]

ooof *clonk clonk clonk clonk* that is kind of a disturbing noise when you're trying to tear it up especially on non suspension ride

[@threxBox]

dope

[@mcronfpv8736]

What wheel is everybody riding? S18 is too slow?

[@RocABye]

Who designed the course?

[@thewheelneil1379]

Mostly Austen Silva, a n estavlished onewheel racer. As well as help from a number of Onewheel racers from northern California.

[@ItsCalilum]

5:10 Good sport.

[@caseyodonnell55]

Hey chooch whats up with everyone wearing teathers,what the idea behind it?

[@thewheelneil1379]

Safer with bystanders near the course.

[@leosalazar9729]

Wow

[@KondwaniLungu-x5l]

🤔Ishiiii this is serious business

[@ScubaDude68]

And I still have my ex.n limited to 15 mph 🤣

[@a.d.h.dn3d461]

Same here with my MSP haha I have fun so that's all that matters!

[@otero2235]

I honestly thought this was a joke. Guess I was wrong. Riding thru the forest on a unicycle, on the dirt? Crazy we’re talking break every bone in your body stuff.

[@RocABye]

When did THAT rider with the blue/black gear pass you guys?? After he fell he's nowhere to be seen until the end.

[@elchinoshow7592]

Wouldn’t the s22 or the s20 be better for off road races like this?

[@oliverjantz1108]

Yes indeed but everyone would have to have a suspension wheel to be fair

[@DuffMan-lh9lc]

Hey dude, why didn't use your S20? Those Master seemed to have an edge on your wheel

[@russellzauner]

It's not his, AFAIK, it's just indefinitely loan because he was the last to get a prototype and they've improved/changed so much stuff with the S22 you literally DON'T want the S20. So to ride in a personal race and finish destroying it might end up with him buying that particular one - I am pretty sure that every person who took delivery of a demo unit had to sign some paperwork and accept whatever terms KingSong put in there.

[@DuffMan-lh9lc]

@@russellzauner well, that make sense, but if I was mr Kingsong I would want my wheel to be used in such an important race. I would have left the wheel to Chooch as a gift to convince him to use it in race. A great oppotunity wasted imho

[@Skrippykrotangler]

@@DuffMan-lh9lc i think the S22 doesn't have enough torque for certain uphill sections of a track like this. You wan't a really torquey wheel I think for a sandy-like track.

[@DuffMan-lh9lc]

@@Skrippykrotangler I think the same, but would have been happy to be proven wrong. I loved that wheel for it's suspension and look, but seems that KS's last good torquey wheel was the 16x

[@MidTownSnipers_VHP]

Oh hell naw bro.. I see cliffs and stuff. Too Dangerous

[@aquious953]

Trails are too narrow to pass on.

[@vitam1ne51]

cool! why don't you use the S22?

[@Skrippykrotangler]

my guess would be, not enough torque

[@skobuffs7]

he doesn't have one. sent back to EUCO a long time ago

[@skobuffs7]

this looks like a fake chooch 🤣🤣🤣

[@stuart3712]

Prefer the city street EUC racing

[@b.h.8421]

when did blue guy pass!? hmmmmm skept...

[@choochtech]

He cut the track and then tried to lie, his son then intentionally wrecked me before race day. That guy and his son are why I quit EUC racing. Total scum bags

[@albatronafredo942]

Bikes are better !!! It's kind of funny seeing the riders do these tiny baby bump jumps. I would stick to riding on tar, doing GrubHub food deliveries, and let the bikers handle the dirt. It's just so unextreme its kind of funny to me.

[@FasTik_bisa]

Did u think that bikes are better?..... Ok but can u ride EUC? Probably no 😂

[@albatronafredo942]

​@@FasTik_bisa Realistically I would master it in maybe a week or two. I have a high coordination/balance ability I don't see how riding EUC would be difficult, you are in a natural forward facing position. It's a matter of learning how to lean forward and back, and how the EUC responds to those motions along with maintaining core stability when you want to turn. I have no fear in falling either, and know how to roll out of a fall when necessary, thus I would not be limited by those inhibitions. I have years of taking spills on BMX, Mountain Biking, Snowboarding, Rollerblading, Parkour, etc... EUC is powered and therefore does not require very much aerobic muscle use. Any form of powered alternative reduces the the athleticism requirements imo. Not necessary less fun, but easier on the body/muscle limitations. I can hit 35~ MPH on my bike going down hill.

[@napraznicul]

HORRIBLE.. i can't watch entirely.. i'm affraid to not see some ugly accidents.. :|

[@timlewis5096]

What a waste of time watching it!!!

should be held in safer courses, no need to see a kid tacked to a tree branch...just get the tracks set up...please.
