How Fast Is Too Fast on One Wheel?

[@myrealestateviews]

I love how these videos are literally documenting the evolution of the sport . It’s like if the homies in the 70’s had cameras when they went from clay to urethane wheels! Same vibe. These are exciting times. Clearly, there is only one path for the next evolutionary leap and it’s obvious…. Surfwheel VESC Mod + Swagtron Dual-Enduro Tire Upgrade + Trotter LEDs The Frankensteez

[@TheFloatLife]

Stop, I can only get so excited!

[@deemontes7265]

Lords of Dogtown vibes!!

[@Eryktion]

Did you see that OneWheel mod where the board was completely above the wheel? It would be nice to see this mod on a Surfwheel (It would acutally make sense there)

[@chrisjb241]

Can't wait till Future Motion goes out of business and their scambag patents aren't stifling development

[@jonbrownsquad]

Also, Julian is killing it filming backwards!

[@TheFloatLife]

Jon, youre killing it with the comments!

[@Solsticebars]

Thanks I am!

[@BenjaminShredder]

Julian i appreciate all the work you do for us!

[@deanaoxo]

You never call last run!

[@rafaelinmissouri6235]

So do either of those boards have any FM parts?

[@jeffmiller6577]

Float Life has brought SO much perspective to a sport that's growing daily. Always appreciate your videos and testing on these things; keep up the dynamite work! Cheers, Jeff, Bodhi, & Elijiah! Great work, fellas!

[@MatthewMMG]

Love all the work being put in to keep this sport alive no mater what!

[@chrisjb241]

When FM goes out of business sport will explode

[@nicoaleman]

See you in that DirtSurferz Open Class, Jeff! 🤠🤙

[@brycestrife5605]

My man behind the camera says you guys are speeding as he passes them. Pretty killer work honestly

[@BenjaminShredder]

It’s never a bad day when there’s a new float video! Awesome content fellas! 🎉

[@RGMGFitness]

I’m only 1/2 way into this video and I’m having flash-backs watching you guys tear up this board. Man that’s fast! I don’t know how you can maintain that level of confidence on a board your still testing out. Stay safe! 👍👍👍

[@SaiyanEuc]

Cool to see the master for filming hopefully that worked out, these boards are awesome they've come so far.

[@surfdado]

Love seeing ATR being put to good use! Also don't be afraid to set ATR max angle to something really high (15 degrees or more+) - it's the key to controlled descents when it's ultra steep...

[@shredlifema9734]

Dope footage 👌🏻

[@TheFloatLife]

Thank you 🙌

[@maddmikemu]

I love these videos testing the limits and showing the differences in performance between different battery packs and voltages. The 63v pack does pretty well and allows a lot of torque with ATR. I'm going to finish my build, spring is almost here in Denver and I can't wait to enjoy the increased torque surfing grass.

[@hardcore4476]

I’m in Denver also and wondering where I can pre ride a Onewheel before I buy one? I want to know if I kinda like it before I buy one.. any store locations that let you ride different models?

[@jonbrownsquad]

I’ve had my 84v built for weeks now and still waiting on a BMS! Glad to see it stretching its legs!

[@Crashlewis1]

What setup you using? I want to convert my XR but need suggestions !

[@andrewwilson983]

So much to be excited about! Big leaps forward in the last 6 months!

[@matthieukaczmarek]

Can't wait for a 48v vesc'ed surfwheel !

[@TheFloatLife]

E we’re gonna build a 69volt

[@joshuab2450]

Yooo, great video ! More in depth tuning and explanation of the terms to help us VESC newbies !!!

[@senseivegan]

I Totally Dig the ride vibes! Wicked Good video guys!!🔥🔥 I ride a EUC & you guys got me all Hyped up to ride a One Wheel.

[@widgget]

i've hit 32mph on my 84v board without the front dropping at all. it's sketch AF. the motor and the wind going by start to sound different then you normally hear and you know it's gonna hurt when you go down.

[@TheFloatLife]

You're brave!

[@crazythegamer329]

I hit 31.4 on my gt, broke my collarbone but I got it haha

[@alpinmack]

That was gnar. My GT seems weak now. 🤣 Love what ya'll are doing for the culture!

[@fuzzwad5049]

I can’t wait to build up a vesc, looks super promising for the future.

Hell yea man. I couldn’t agree with lijh more. Once I stepped on a vesc it was over. Plus I can actually fix my own board now!

[@homegrownstoke18]

VESC all the way!!!

[@maddmikemu]

FM 🦗🦗🦗 on GT Custom Shaping, meanwhile VESC is climbing 🏔️ and making new milestones. 👍

[@brodyport6395]

Was just thinking we about to get close to when the first ones started shipping 💀💀

[@marksegars6662]

Enjoyed the video guys!! Haven’t tried a vesc but maybe one day. Crazy how well they climb.

[@KevoF06]

Can y’all show us how to build our very own vesc?

[@TheFloatLife]

Start here: pev.dev/

[@DeepFinger-UA]

Awesome ride 👏🏼👍🏼 Thanks for the vidéo ❤

[@magic_steve]

Sounds like Jeff would like the Street Salsa tuning 😉. Stiffer ride, moderate ATR for combo street/trail riding, boosted turn tilt for handling. Give it a shot 😁🤙

[@proyectonext878]

Wow! The pace at which this sport is evolving... I remember when this was just a hobby. _m/

[@starkness8842]

love the video my dudes!! badass new tech!

[@joeylandowski7612]

I hit 30 many times on my gt until one time ii went dowm bad and my body never recovered, had pain in the right side of my spine for 9 months now... Will never go 30 on a one wheel ever again... 23 mph or lower for me now. cant afford another crash

[@MrDmadness]

Love it.. im building my vesc atm .. over parts every 2 weeks .. vesc is the way . This was a great video, very fun to watch. When you guts make it to Western Canada hit me up would be fun. :) keep floating and stay away from the turbulence ;)

[@jeremyshearer]

I always love the flow content

[@chasekasperowski8253]

Jef! Plese know that it doesn’t nosedive at 100% duty. It nosedives at 95%! Stay safe🤙🤙🤙

[@TheFloatLife]

I got a bunch of 94.9% warnings this weekend haha

[@chasekasperowski8253]

@@TheFloatLife haha you will never actually hit 95% so you were maxing out 😆

[@TheAnimeist]

Everyone in the 2023 Race For The Rail will be piloting GTs, even though they all qualified using VESCs. I just went EUC. But if I do get another Onewheel it will probably be a VESC.

[@donnyh3497]

I actually went down hard almost a month ago doing 28mph on one of my onewheels 😅. I'm still on crutches but I can't wait to ride again! It wasn't even on my GTS, it was on my regular GT. It was handling that speed well until I hit a little rock the size of a small plum.

[@RTAMOTORSPORTS]

@@hardcore4476 it takes one or two days for your body to adapt and learn it. Be patient, my first two boards were used and I would recommend going that route. Have fun!

[@eekdestroy5329]

I’d like to see someone (Jeff) put on every pad/body armour possible on and push that thing to the max. Maybe even a bubble wrap fat suit. Full face helmet, the works. 🤙🏼

[@quinnfoster1234]

What I would want to see is basically A ow board attached to a regular bike like a sidecar.. then a person rides the ow and someone on the bike. See it's max limits with double the rider weight.

I am curious if this resulted in a power dump since you said it was high output during the speed test

[@TheFloatLife]

I’m here for a good time, not a long time!

[@Johnathan-l7o]

What does the remote do 🤔

[@simonmccaughey]

I have a stock XR, I find when climbing real steep hills if you zig zag with the board real quick, that helps. Must be something to do with the sensors, it seems to try harder when you do that - did you ever try it? Both rocking the board from toe to heel, and small quick rotations/zig zag makes it work harder

[@nicoaleman]

That's just physics; When you take an incline at an angle like that, you're technically climbing less steep of an incline, so it's easier to climb 👌

[@simonmccaughey]

@@nicoaleman I don't think so, even if you wiggle toeside to heelside it has a positive effect, and that's definitely not making the board go any further. It's definitely something to do with the sensors on the board making it work harder. Both methods work. When I talk about zig zag, I'm referring to the motion of your body rather than the board, I normally do this on trails that are the width of the onewheel tire

[@The_Only_Juan]

I've done 28.8mph on stock GT. I've also had my front footpad sensor decide I wasn't on it when I was mobbing at 25 mph, board suddenly shutting off on me, and my foot getting caught in my Flight Fins as a fell, breaking my big toe. Fun times.

[@TheFloatLife]

Party on my dude!

[@Thec0nv1ct777]

Ive only ever rode a scooter before and this looks extremely fun. I jist think id fall on my ass most of the time learning

[@colebrooks2237]

Dude I always say that you never call last run! Everyone always looks at me weird. It’s a thing 😂

[@TheFloatLife]

This guy gets it!

[@flizzfuel]

Yeah well, sometimes I need to say it about 2-3 times when these guys wanna do 30 hard trail miles in a day…at 42…. That’s a long day and I need to remind them!

[@northuniverse]

Jeff has got the need for speed

[@Lodosswar100]

One of one wheels greatest strengths is its ability to cause extreme jubilation at running speeds.

[@ScorpionF1RE_USA]

One of these two looks like Tony Hawk!

[@davidbenton9585]

How did you guys get around the failsafe where if you disconnect the battery it will brick the board???

[@TheFloatLife]

That's a GT. This isn't a GT, it's a VESC based XR

[@davidbenton9585]

Oh alright

[@benlay750]

84V VESC ... its not a matter of how fast can I go without risking a nose dive ... its just a matter of how brave/nuts I'm feeling.

[@mattd2026]

Is the onrwheel motto "try not to hurt yourself"?

[@Cadebombs]

I was just wondering why does his onewheel say do not charge on his onewheel

[@TheFloatLife]

Because it's a aftermarket battery that requires a special charger. If you use a regular charger, it can explode

[@kaveman_4242]

I wouldn't mind being able to set up a "top speed" but have skyline settings on my pint X. I unfortunaly updated my firmware but i don't mind. I want to experience what FM has to offer to the "fullest" to decide if i'll give them my money in the future. God dam i hope i didnt get into another sport late... its not late since i enjoy it alone regardless, but i dont want FM to kill it or put it on hold for a while. I wanna 1wheel NOW! not later
