Just had my first night of learning to ride my new V10F. I picked a grocery store parking lot at night after my afternoon shift. Spent about two and a half hours going at it. After the first hour I was finally able to go unsupported for a good 50 meters or so. By the end of the session I felt like I could have kept going indefinitely, if the parking lot was infinitely long. Lol. Still can't turn very well. I'm 51. Yes, I'm sore this morning.

[@randomhouse_11]

Watching others who are masters of it doesn't motivate me, just makes me envy. Watching you struggle, does ! 🙂

[@landocycle]

Love this comment!

[@0xsergy]

it's not about motivation, it's about seeing his technique and seeing if there's ways you can incorporate it. at least that's how i learned to wheelie/other basic bicycle tricks

[@banzaibob6569]

Dude, I tried for about an hour and a half with a total of 50 attempts. Not good, but you have motivated me to try again. OMG!

[@landocycle]

Keep going!

[@0xsergy]

it takes me at least 100 attempts on a bmx to get even close to landing a trick. probably closer to 1000 to land it 1/15 tries, etc. repetition is key

[@mistertime6457]

Trying this skill myself Thanks for sharing. Helps motivate me.

[@kenspaceman3938]

I liked the vid👍 Give your v10f a hug, it deserves some love after all that crashing❤️

[@landocycle]

That thing is such a champ.

[@meetalg]

Thanks for the tips and documenting this !

[@MS-ut8fd]

I don't know how to ride backwards yet but I know there's muscle memory involved and as with any other thing that requires balance, you never look down but keep looking forward and focus up on one spot if possible.

[@MikeErickson]

You did it! I think it was all the self-talk, "backwards backwards backwards... " haha - great.

[@ajibub3622]

I am learning backwards now on my V5F 😁. Sometimes, I can go maybe 5 ft backwards. Its hard.

[@pandabike3826]

Right on! Woo hoo! The progress is coming along. Thank you for the tips I'll be learning to ride backwards soon too

[@landocycle]

Film it!

[@earlwest8670]

Thank you for sharing this is fantastic content! I am trying to learn how to ride backwards. I learned the hard way that you have to have complete protection below the knees to your ancles because when you drop the wheel (and you will) it wants to hit you in the shins!

[@CaptainCandycorn]

I started on a V11 and have been riding it for 6 months now. I have about 500 miles on it and would say I am a pretty good rider. I can ride one footed, turn on a dime, jump it, and ride seated. The one thing I cant do is ride backwards, mainly because I dont want to trash the wheel dropping it. I've only dropped the wheel once since I started riding so its still in perfect shape.

[@ajibub3622]

I didn't trash my wheels until I started to try riding backwards. Now pedals and pedal hangers are all gouged and scraped up. All is good if I get it in the end.

[@sautsitumorangkpk]

awesome ... thanks mate ..

[@andyhan5008]

So goddam inspirational bro. I’ve got 10k miles going forward and I’m still really sketch going backwards but u have motivated me to get my ass in line lol. Thx for the vid

[@landocycle]

These comments make all the endless hours editing these videos worth it!

[@chrisjones6542]

Nice one. Looks like I’ll keep trying…. At least I know my V10f will take the spills even if I can’t!! Thanks for the motivation!

[@CaptainJacksIsland]

Watching videos like yours and the progress you can make in one day makes me wonder if I just suck or if jumping straight to the Sherman S was starting on Hard mode 😅 training backwards is no joke 🥵 I'm in amazing shape, but the constant one legged lunges, body squats, and micro adjustments takes one heck of a toll 😤 and what's weird is that a lot of the progress seems magical, because it's a lot of subconcious improvements, like... idk why I did that better; I just did.

[@landocycle]

If you ever find a small EUC for cheap, maybe pick it up to hone your balance skills on because the Sherman S is NOT going to be an easy training wheel. Also, enjoy the process my dood! You’ll get there at your own pace and that’s 100% ok 👌

[@the_luminary]

Congrats bro. *Achievement unlocked*

[@boardshepeherd7164]

Inmotion V3 - the funny double wheeled unicycle helps to improve riding backward skill a lot. It is easier to balance and you get used to backward motion easily. After bit of practising on V3 the switch to real EUC is much easier. So if you can get one somewhere (they are not in stock anymore) it can help you to learn this skill with less effort. Before I discovered this trick I was trying to ride bacwards and never had enough patience to acomplish anything besides scratched ankles. Good job.

[@gareth5000]

Well done! I hope I can learn to ride forwards as fast as you learned to ride backwards🤠

[@phamster18]

dude.. great video... i am inspired... but 3 hours??? omg... what a work out !

[@arevee9429]

I don't have the stamina to last 3.5 hours of practicing backward. Guess I'll just have to be patient and do it for a lot of days.

[@0xsergy]

it's not ideal anyway, you gotta sleep on it. your brain practices muscle memory and other shit in your sleep so if you practice a trick a bit every day you'll notice big jumps the next time you get out there. plus, fresh muscles are better than 3 hours of dead tired ones writing bad muscle memory.

[@cdn_badger]

Congratulations! I've been on my V10F just over a month now. 1100KM. I've been trying to figure this out... No luck so far! Bahahaha.. If you get to Van Island, let's ride!

[@0xsergy]

one thing from the bicycle world, when learning fakies(riding backwards) just do a bunch of quick left right left inputs instead of trying to actively balance it. the bike will go backwards for quite a while(longer than if you tried to manually balance it with your lack of skills) and each of these inputs give your brain data on what various actions do. idk if this is achievable on EUCs but it might speed up the learning curve.

[@magpieeuc4846]

Super impressive you did it in just a few hours 👍

[@stevesellers3170]

Good job. I try going backwards now and then for a few minutes. It's bad. You have motivated me to work on it more. At least an hour a day.

[@Howahade]

I got motivated!!!

[@bepriceless]

That didn't take long, what six minutes. I was impressed that you kept track of your attempts, but then you stopped that. Maybe that was holding you back. Nice job. I'll wait a while before I try. I don't want to beat up my newish wheel. I'm still being held back by foot cramps.

[@landocycle]

It goes away fast, keep at it :)

[@Solosmooth]

U did it!!! U da MAN!!

[@landocycle]

I did it!!!

[@employee2416]

All things considered that was fast! From my perspective it took less than 6 minutes. A few more scars on the V10f to mark your story ... I saw one video that suggested many small twists, zig zagging rather than trying to go in a straight line. See if that makes a difference. Keep it up Lando.

[@landocycle]

Oh, the magic of video editing!

[@UniqueBill]

I've never really wanted to ride backwards but I have wanted to be able to rock back and forth while waiting for a traffic light. I have a V10 and a V11 so I will be looking for a place to practice with my V10 since it has a lot more scratches the the V11. I ever I figure it out on the V10 then I will try the V11. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@landocycle]

V10 is an awesome beater wheel. I'm keeping mine just for that when I get another one.

[@vincentkim2721]

Very good ^^*

[@steve00alt70]

I might get the v5f even tho it does 15mph I'll be using my euc to cruise mainly so I wont need speed.

[@manstone0908]

I think it's dead hard work for me too 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣

[@flhandster4395]

Thanks for the video. Which camera are you using?

[@landocycle]

Hey thanks for watching! That was a super old go-pro, a 3 I think? In my newer videos I’m using an insta360 one x2 and a Canon R6.

[@vitus6762]

That was fun watching. Can you go sideways?

[@skillDad6536]

good~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[@lefotografion]

Tool me 3 year's 😂

[@Reawer]

good musix

[@troy777888]

Nice job 👍 Btw Was this video recorded in Kamloops BC ?

[@landocycle]

Sure was!

[@masterblasterofdisaster]

it took me 3 weeks of daily 30 min practice sessions before i nailed it

[@jashton8710]

I have been riding two years now and I just can't get the hang of riding in reverse, so I gave up. Honestly, I don't really need to.

[@landocycle]

I think learning to Idle (or pendulum) is super handy, but not required. Backwards definitely not required!

[@AndreiPetunin]

20,000 forwards and 0 backwards.

[@ignioushorizon8128]

After years of practice, I'm still like that. I just can't get it.

[@landocycle]

It seriously took a long time for it to ‘click’. Stick with it and I guarantee it will for you one day too.

[@MaximilianGros]

I ride since 3 years, have over 15.000 km on my wheel and still can't go backwards.

[@landocycle]

That’s ok, forward is the most important direction! It’s pretty fun once you get it and it makes idling pretty easy afterwards.

[@MaximilianGros]

@@landocycle Were you able to idle before going backwards?

[@landocycle]

@@MaximilianGros no

[@michaelmcdonald2792]

Was it worth it? Haha

[@landocycle]

big time
