Koowheel Hover Shoes - Hard To Ride / Scary Fun

Hover shoes is / are / were the rage. These are Koowheels, and they sent them over A LONG TIME AGO to see what we thought. Evan & Katelyn were in town, so they, along with Punished Props Academy, my editor Sean, and my son David, show us hot NOT to ride them, and how to effortlessly ride them. Ha!

So... Yes, this was recorded a while ago, with the footage of Evan & Kately and Punished Props happening easily more than a year ago - July of 2018! Good to know I'm reaching WAY back into the catalog for this. Ha! Also, in studio, yes I had a stuffy nose, and wasn't feeling 100%, and I'm sorry. // Joel

[@MrNlce30]

You could modify these for a powered wheel barrow. Great video. Keep up the good work.

[@TechnicallyNerdy]

YESSSS

[@WayneMcCormick]

Kids have no fear. That's why they are better than us old fogies on these stuff. :)

[@Decadentotter]

Man those look so fun, but I'm not balanced on two feet. I couldn't imagine trying to balance on those.

[@Mando_Kor]

You simply have to think of your ankles as the pivot mechanism. If you look at the video of your son, his body is on a straight angle and he's using his ankles to "drive" essentially.

[@Robothut]

Death shoes. Love it. Maybe it has to do with kids being shorter so it may make it easier to balance. Who knows. thanks for sharing.

[@murdokiwi]

Love the No Balance footwear 6:02

[@Defender513]

Haha. Your poor assistant. Making him the Guinea pig

[@SeijinDinger]

...considering how many times I have broken arms falling off bikes, Im scared to think about trying these

[@scottmichaelharris]

Can we just live stream these five all the time.

[@Dsk001]

What I'm curious about is what would happen if you attach a board to just one of those and make it into a mini one wheel would it work.

[@buildersmark]

Love the comment..."It goes way to fast & we're going to get hurt! Yay!!" List of safety equipment not included: Butt pad Children have no fear

[@TechnicallyNerdy]

They very much do not.

[@BLBlackDragon]

Just like riding a Segway. ;)

[@mikeholczer]

I think it’s easy for kids because they have weigh less and have a lower center of gravity, so the koowheels have less work to maintain balance.

[@joe_mckirdy]

How expensive is the visit to the ER for the eventual broken arm?

[@RonFloyd]

Like Wayne said - kids haven't lived long enough to know fear. Plus a lower center of gravity usually. LOL But, curious - what if you squatted? Harder to turn, but a way lower center of gravity. Plus, just for fun, how about three of them with some sort of frame? Sounds like a good 3D Printing plus tubing project - HaHaHa! Edit: Or, just two of them with just a free-spinning castor on the back. ;-) Thanks guys!

[@zanpekosak2383]

Two of them parallel tied to a board with a hinge so you can still steer and go front and back and an idle wheel in the back .

[@jimgreene3863]

Hi Joel Ok these look like a visit to the ER room waiting to happen Before I saw your son on them I was thinking that a shorter person with a lower center of gravity would do better and it appears so. You said that you thought a skier might do better on these than a snow boarder so how about mounting a snow board deck type of thing on one of these and you have one of the single wheel self balancing kind of visits to the ER room any way cooooooooo thing stay safe & a big High Five

[@gingertimelord5]

Kids are short .....the low center of gravity aids greatly in the use of such products

[@RSpudieD]

These are pretty cool but I don't think I'd ever want to ride them!

[@getinnerds]

When's the next Fanmail Friday going to land? I'm all anxious to see if you've chosen my package!!

[@TechnicallyNerdy]

My hope is a week from tomorrow! It's my daughter's bday today, so that's my plan for this evening :) // Joel

[@getinnerds]

@@TechnicallyNerdy Tell her Happy Birthday from the Tiernans in the UK!

[@Hawk1966]

No amount of money on the planet could get me near those things. No way, no how!

[@MKMug]

They're actually easier then u think u just stand and put a lil weight on the front or back of your feet

[@Dust599]

charge times? battery life??

[@TechnicallyNerdy]

Charge time wasn't fast or slow. I would plug them in at night, and they would be fully charged in the morning. The batteries lasted longer than I did on these things, however, my kids would be on them for what seemed like hours before needing a charge //Joel

[@jakefromstatefarm8545]

Death trap. Where can I buy? Lol.

[@rivera82falcon]

Great for kids but still expensive at that price. A great leg and calf workout for adults but expensive at that price. Just make/purchase a motorized scooter if you want the tech, or purchase some rollerblades and you are good to go.

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

The movement looks like me in ice skates...

[@kira07]

like in skies, children are shorter so center of weight is lower, thats why its so much easier for them to use it.

[@gustonzimasheen]

I wonder if I could attach these to my horse and call em Hover Hooves?jk I would never!

[@bruceneely4859]

what? where's fan mail Friday? :) Your really going to have interesting content on this channel?

[@proven22x52]

Why not just put a 2nd wheel on them, I mean it'd be just as cool being self propelled and safer idk

[@proven22x52]

@@PRiMETECHAU no

[@jakefromstatefarm8545]

You DO have legs!

[@peter.stimpel]

Nice tool to hand over some Darwin awards...

[@TechnicallyNerdy]

Hhahahahaha

[@JohnOCFII]

Very cool - but one of the two KZbin ads was a ~10 minute drug ad! KZbin needs to be more reasonable with their ad selection based on total length. I watch them, because I want you to get some $$ - but jeez!

[@AlyssaNguyen]

They don't hover though =P

[@MKMug]

It's bc it feels like ur hovering

[@coaltowking]

It seems like shorter people do much better.

[@InfiniteSmasher]

First

[@rivera82falcon]

Second technically since Joel's pinned comment was first.

[@InfiniteSmasher]

@@rivera82falcon yes I agree
