Ep: 52- Review of the Pyranha 9r2 whitewater kayak - and I wreck the Onewheel - Truckbed Tiny House

[@pop4725]

Your confidence in your ability is inspiring

[@TruckHouseLife]

thanks haha

[@katherinewhitby7754]

Stellar paddling considering you’re broken paw. Great job.

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol thanks, did the best I could. I still can't fully move my pinky finger 7 months later, tore my collateral ligament from that onewheel fall, gonna have to get surgery eventually to get full use again.

[@PyranhaKayaks]

Man, we love the look of that rig! Sounds like it’d be worth you whacking the seat forward a notch and seeing how that feels for you :) Thanks for taking the time to review our kayaks, and hope that hand heals up quick!

[@TruckHouseLife]

What up! Yeah the seat was slid all the way forward in this boat. My 9r2 I bought a while back (sold it) had the seat in the middle, which made it even catchier in the stern, so sliding the seat forward helped!) If u guys ever want to send a boat my way for a review hit me up;)

[@PyranhaKayaks]

@@TruckHouseLife ahh, fair enough! Sure thing, drop us an email to [e-mail] with what you’re keen on the look of if you like and we’ll see if we can figure something out!

[@rosenorcia2614]

I can watch reruns of anything to me but yours are the best Timmy tool Time

[@TruckHouseLife]

Right on haha! Cheers!

[@digdugbingo]

Damn Tim, you're one tough some beach!

[@jimg2553]

Thanks for the ride Brother Timmy.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Any time!

[@sticksstones8498]

You are nuts. Great video. Glad you're ok for the most part.

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol thanks man:)

[@dalvinadiaz8718]

Good Saturday morning Tim, on with the show🤗🥰

[@TruckHouseLife]

Morning! yup it continues!

[@hugocabrera2523]

Great vid Timmy, hope your hand it's ok 👍

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks! It's healing up finally!

[@hugocabrera2523]

Stay safe my friend

[@5555filly]

One wheel looked super fun till ouch!

[@TruckHouseLife]

Yup, it was great for a while, sold it after tearing my collateral ligament between my little/ring finger, still can't use it right 5 months later lol

[@5555filly]

@@TruckHouseLife you dont break bones sitting around. I have a couple broken fingers and also broke my back training horses 🐎 looking forward to watching more of your adventures just dont die ok?

[@jackmeyers40]

Take care of that hand..man and thanks for the video.

[@TruckHouseLife]

will do, no worries!

[@30-06]

I hope your hand is ok... tbh, I am very impressed I highly doubt I would have went kayaking with such injury.. my spirit would have been broken.. Your mind is a lot stronger than mine!

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol yup it hurt, x-ray showed no broken bones, just a super torn tendon between my little and ring ringer, still torn 6 weeks later

[@Ramcharger2Travel]

Ouch, hope you heal up soon. What caused the one wheel to fail?

[@TruckHouseLife]

@@Ramcharger2Travel apparently it had a malfunction and turned off, which means it stops balancing itself and the wheel locks up

[@ronkonkoma7812]

@@TruckHouseLife That one wheel thing locked up and ejected you bro, that's so fucked up. You should do a review video on that product next. Maybe include the x-rays. Seriously though your channel is awesome, keep up the great content. Thanks

[@sevenfifty1688]

What a solid Guy 😭👋🏼💪🏻

[@TruckHouseLife]

Awww shucks.

[@Treepole]

Oh dude!! First the knee... now the hand... no coasting on the 1 wheel... not cool... I almost got hit by a jeep girl in nyc... and flew of the bike... after blowing the curb... gloves saved the day.. Feel better man!!!

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol yup careful out there!

[@n2snow]

Cool😎 thanks for sharing!!👍👍👍

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks for watching!

[@oldretireddude]

I'm a OneWheel owner (500mi+). We see people ride them with reckless abandon with no protective gear, but in my opinion they require helmet and wrist guards at a minimum. You will eventually appreciate knee and elbow pads too. Hope you're OK after your tumble. You were probably riding past it's limit especially if the battery is not at a high charge level. Respect the pushback, I understand it's more subtle on the XR. My Pint has in your face pushback.

[@TruckHouseLife]

battery was 89% charged, literally turned off:(

[@mikevictor5945]

Hey I for got to tell you. When you do the flatbed make sure you can get to the high mount stop on cab. It unlocks the toqreconverter. No led light either. Those trucks have highly sufficicated wiring.

[@TruckHouseLife]

in other words, make sure i can still remove the 3rd brakelight (make sure the "headache rack" of the flatbed doesn't cover it?). I've heard that the torque converter is tied into the 3rd brakelight.

[@mikevictor5945]

@@TruckHouseLife yes sir. That and a little diode on back of speedometer work with shifting..

[@TruckHouseLife]

@@mikevictor5945 right on thanks man

[@dpl2617]

Had a similar crash on a hover board, broke my elbow! Sh*t happens quick.. Good luck

[@TruckHouseLife]

snap! careful

[@habanero8192]

"Smash the like button" ... yes I will, in hopes that you don't smash yourself on that one-wheel wonder again. ... man, I'm really sorry you wiped out like that. Did the cold water help numb up the pain a little bit? ... I've found that it can either do that or make things hurt even more. ... Looking forward to another adventure with you, thanks for the share! ;-)

[@TruckHouseLife]

thanks! yup helped numb it up, then it got way worse lol

[@habanero8192]

@@TruckHouseLife sorry man. I wish you a speedy and full recovery to full health!

[@keoniv.5719]

One day ago.??? Its Nov. 22 We got snow in Fairbanks.

[@TruckHouseLife]

videos are sometimes a little bit behind;)

[@jrgaming8659]

I love ur video

[@TruckHouseLife]

thanks!

[@MomFoodPlantandThings]

So, was your pinky broken?

[@TruckHouseLife]

Torn ligament.

[@doittoday1]

Tim great video on the boat👍 Do you ever gold pan any of these awesome creeks you go on?

[@TruckHouseLife]

I've actually gold panned only a few times, and one was on this creek (six mile creek).

[@raydewitt517]

As always, awesome video Timmy. Would you say the piranha 9r2 is ok for a beginner?

[@TruckHouseLife]

It would be a little edgy for a beginner, but would also teach you proper techniques, so yes, I think it would be fine for a beginner.

[@DanielPerez-ee3wp]

Want was the temperature there?

[@TruckHouseLife]

Probably 40 F?

[@chadfowler4761]

Hope you’re recovering quickly. What paddle are you using? I can see it’s wood. I just wasn’t sure if you or someone else made it? If it is produced for the general public, who is the manufacturer and what is the model? Thanks in advance!

[@TruckHouseLife]

Look up Rivrstyx, they are custom made by Jim Snyder out on the east coast. He only makes a few a year:)

[@chadfowler4761]

@@TruckHouseLife thanks! Yeah, I ran past his site the other day. Looks like his backlog is so large he won’t be taking any orders until 2022.

[@sswwooppee]

What’s the word on your knee? Do you get to keep the leg or what?

[@TruckHouseLife]

Tendons are a little damaged in the hamstring and ACL area due to breaking my back last August and pinching a nerve off, starving oxygen to that particular area and weakening the muscle... pretty crazy how the body is so connected to the spine! currently doing PT to see if i can resolve it.

[@TruckHouseLife]

@Cabin Donnie good to know thank you!

[@triple_alpha]

💪👍👌

[@rondarrelladventures8843]

why are u using a wood paddle

[@TruckHouseLife]

Love how they feel.

[@tex24]

Dude... Give us an update on your hand.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Torn tendon between little and ring finger (fully torn), 6 weeks in and still can barely use it lol

[@deborahrossi8963]

@@TruckHouseLife Ouch! Hope it heals quickly and cleanly.

[@powhoundus]

@@TruckHouseLife Ouch! I’m and ER doc and OneWheeler! Don’t ride without Flexmeters (ER doc designed wrist guards). And more than likely you tore a collateral ligament. Tendons allow you to flex / extend fingers. Ligaments hold bones together and in alignment. When I saw them little finger sticking out awkwardly I suspected you tore the collateral at the MCP (knuckle joint). BTW agree totally with your review of 9RII. Needs to be driven and need to stay on top of it. It’s a performance boat and I think beginners and some intermediates will be frustrated by it but skilled boaters will dig the performance. Nirvana more forgiving for lilly dipping and more primary stability but also does better if driven. I’ve always been more of a finesse paddler so modern designs are a hard adjustment for me.

[@TruckHouseLife]

@@powhoundus wow thanks so much Wes! You helped more the the doctor I saw in person did lol! And yes, seems like the ligament is torn pretty bad, 7 weeks later and its still swollen, its slowly becoming more usable though.

[@gabba5423]

Man take care of yourself.

[@TruckHouseLife]

i'll try lol

[@halohms]

Get an EUC instead of the onewheel.

[@TruckHouseLife]

prob gonna get an apollo pro
