My First Ride Since the Crash - Am I Now Scared to Ride? - Milton Aftermath | Duf Accident

[@Auld_Moaner]

Good to see you back out there Duf...... #Return 👍

[@Duf]

Thanks for watching (till the end)!

[@Xtrafix2015]

You’re brave for the “return” of riding, at least for coffee and noticed all of the puddles and streams across the property of houses. hopefully there’ll not be another storm to come soon

[@Duf]

Hoping we are done with storms in 2024.

[@keithnell7134]

#Return. Glad you are back on the horse!

[@Duf]

Me too, thank you

[@greenwave819]

Good to see ya safe and back at it!

[@Duf]

Thanks!!

[@willietorrey2824]

Welcome back Duff!!

[@Duf]

Thanks!

[@MikeMchaney]

Glad you arer back on it. I had the same failure a few months ago. Never thought too much about tubeless but I am now. I was lucky I was on a side walk and it threw me to some grass. I was in traffic a few min. before. I do think part of my problem was low tire pressure .

[@Duf]

Trying to get things sorted out converting my Master to tubeless

[@philiparnold9861]

Good to see you back out on the wheel after the crash Duf! Took me a bit after the ET Max crash...but that was parts and not having a second wheel yet. The flat at speed can definitely resonate in your mind as a concern, and I need to make sure to check my PSI more regularly too. Glad the hurricanes didn't wreak too much havoc in your world. #return FYI - your member list screens are at least 3 months outdated...you even did a vid on having new members, then back to the old count and screens, lol ;)

[@Duf]

Thx for letting me know, I need to update them!

[@joederose5200]

#return, Duf had a scuff, but he's back in the game. Lessons learned, everything man-made needs to be checked and maintained EUCs included.

[@Duf]

Thx bud

[@malinovzky69]

Nice 2 see you on a wheel again Duff! Milton was a rough one...glad to be living in the Caribbean but in a Hurricane proof zone....ABC islands!! and the best island Curacao....

[@Duf]

Thanks buddy

[@arevee9429]

I've had a few bad crashes and been less than confident afterward. Most recently, I discovered that I have "significant bone density loss" and am also feeling a bit less confident and questioning the wisdom of continuing to ride. But while I'm still in the questioning phase, I keep on riding. With care and always with gear. Bike-friendly streets and off-road without too much high speed are best for now.

[@Duf]

Yep if a significant accident doesn't get you to analyze your risk tolerance, nothing will

[@OliGerard]

Happy to see that you survived Milton hurricane and that you were able to #return so easily on your wheel 😁. #nofear #avoid3lanesroads 😉

[@Duf]

Thanks man!

[@senseivegan]

#return Keep on Rollin Duf! Nice video have a Fantastic weekend!

[@Duf]

You too buddy, thank you

[@renelr12]

Back up and riding!! Good man 👍👍👍👊

[@Duf]

Yes sir

[@mawhel]

the #return of Duf!

[@Duf]

Nice!!

[@thinkhelpservice]

#return good to see your still keeping upright 👋🏻

[@Duf]

Thank you buddy.

[@davidlinscheid2321]

Hey, Duff, that's quite a rear end you have:) I had a bad crash (face plant) on my roller blades a number of years ago. I had to be driven by my dad to an emergency room to have spots on my chin and above my right eye stitched. I am also certain I had a concussion, but not having medical insurance at the time, I mentioned nothing of my dizziness to the doctor and nurse who took care of me. Yet I did have sense enough to spend the night at my dad's house so he could check me during the night to make sure I did not go comatose. The first time I got back on the blades, I felt as you did, much more aware...I also will admit, a bit scared. I thank God the prayers of many were answered as Florida did not receive the disaster predicted! #Return

[@Duf]

Thanks David!

[@0xsergy]

rollerblades still scare me man, i used to bomb hills on them but I got on them again recently and they feel so unsafe. Especially over any sort of road debris.. just feels like a fall waiting to happen.

[@davidlinscheid2321]

@@0xsergy I'm with you, friend, but it was a thrill to fly on those blades! We don't have any real "bomb" hills where I live, but there is a rather long down hill stretch just outside my small town. The speed you could reach was was exhilarating and yes. a bit terrifying.

[@ceradinimp]

After I picked up a bad ding in my v11 rim due to low tire pressure, I always check tire pressure before I ride, it's surprising how much pressure you lose when the wheel sits.

[@Duf]

It is indeed

[@eucrcandfpv]

Cool, good to see you are back on your wheel... more gear would be nice to see after that fall, but good that you are back, love my super padded pants... lol, now going to go check my tire pressure.. Ride safe.

[@Duf]

I was surprised I was at 18 PSI

[@wspepsilon]

#return good to see ya out there man. Yeah, gonna keep shouting from the rooftops. Get yourself a TPMS setup. Mine saved me mid ride last week. Checking every ride is important but not gonna help you if something happens mid ride.

[@Duf]

I will continue!

[@odellcooley5324]

It's not fear. It's called newfound respect, with a "side effect" of fear.

[@Duf]

Yea something like that

[@medium_dog7211]

Welcome back Sir!!

[@Duf]

Thank you, it felt good

[@joepagan4581]

Good to see you riding again! #return

[@Duf]

You know it!

[@crazyeyepev9456]

#return YA! you back to ridding again. Im glade you did not get to beat up from the fall. I check my tire at least once a week or if it feels a little squishy. I run a Shinko 244 on my Master at 34.5 psi (the .5 is for the spit you lose taking the pump off) I agree with you on the feeling a little to comfy ridding with traffic.....complacency will get you hurt in work and play and I am very guilty of it to HAHA Personally I feel safer in the road in traffic than I do on the side of the road ridding with it. 1 - there is less debris in the road than there is on the side. Nothing worse than having to jump car parts at 30+ because the traffic is far faster them me. and cant get around. I know I could slow down and jump over it at slower speeds but..... HAHAHAHA 2 - cars can see you better if your in front of them rather next to them.....one hopes they are looking forward anyway haha. traffic swapping lanes to close does sketch me out a bit , but im not out in traffic during rush hour so i tend to know whats going on around me. haha. 3 - less sand/salt on the roads than the side(more so in winter) . but thats not a worry in FL. 4 - our shoulders are beat to shit and unless your in a larger city ... no bike lanes. Im sure I can think of a few more but you get the point. every ones comfy zone is different and I get that .... and not everyone rides at 30 - 40+ mph so the above wont work for them. (i dont ride over 40 often but in the 35mph zones trafic around here is 40+ so I do it for safety (HAHA right .... i know how that sounds) and for short bursts till i can get over and let traffic by. Id be fibbing if said I did not enjoy it tho hahaha

[@Duf]

Be careful buddy, that sounds like a plan, till it isn't.

[@BigORider]

I know you mean modular helmet but when you say coffee drinking helmet I imagine that double beer with a straw helmet😂

[@Duf]

I wish lol

[@djwhiteflour]

I am thankful for the #rtn of duf!

[@Duf]

Thank you buddy

[@futuremaneuc]

Always gotta give the tire a lil squeeze before I head out ^^; Show it some love every day haha

[@Duf]

I'll pull out the inflator, just to make sure

[@Simonisms]

#return of the King

[@Duf]

Thanks my man!!

[@ratmanmurray7137]

#return ... I always watch videos to the end ... glad you are well ... a pat for Elsa

[@Duf]

Thanks Murray

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Back on that horse 👍

[@Duf]

Hasn't trampled me yet

[@jerrydestefano]

#return glad your riding!

[@Duf]

Thanks Jerry

[@steveo6034]

What are your thoughts on the Pidzoom mirror? Yea I push on the tire with my thumb and I can usually tell by feel if it needs air. One nice thing about wearing padded shorts is they offer more cushion for seated riding lol

[@Duf]

LOVE the Pidzoom mirror. I used to just squeeze it, I will check officially from now on

[@c300theone]

#return Good to see you back. One question.. what tire do you have in your Patton and size? It looks like a hybrid tire. Thanks

[@Duf]

That is the stock Patton road tire

[@morganlysell4333]

I'm still mystified as to what led to you crashing Duf. I couldn't see an obvious root cause that someone with your skill level wouldn't have been able to handle... I'm a little freaked out how quickly things snowballed into complete chaos. I'm so relieved to see you out on your Patten, apparently no worse the wear. I ride a Lynx and ET Max.

[@Duf]

The inner tube ripped by the valve stem causing instant pressure loss. The wheel felt like I rolled onto ice.

[@GreenMasterMike]

Good stuff Duf #Return

[@Duf]

Thanks dude

[@aerynreynolds8500]

Glad to hear you are doing well! What psi do you prefer to ride on? I ride a v12 ht with 35 psi.

[@Duf]

I prefer 28-30, feels better at higher speeds to me

[@aerynreynolds8500]

@Duf ill have to try that. Sometimes my wheel feels squirrely pushing past 30mph. Maybe that will give me more stability. I have only been riding for 2 months. Ty!

[@RyanMcCarvill]

Do you think the issue you had woth the valve stem was because of low tire pressure considering you don't check them? Might be worth getting a tire pressure monitor.

[@Duf]

Maybe but based on the amount of people that have identical failures with stock Begode tubes, maybe not

[@rosesmith6208]

there is a guy in akron I see riding one of those he did mostly the hike bike trails. many you can ride very fast on it, I wonder how do you leanr to ride without getting injuried?

[@Duf]

Practice, practice

[@NewsViewsAndTruth]

hockey ref pads are some of the cheapest butt and hip padding available

[@Duf]

Very cool

[@gritred5500]

I had the idea you would be on the V13. Is there any difference with the wind between this and the V13?

[@Duf]

V13 handles higher wind better with it's weight/size

[@Fenweekoh]

what hip / ass padding are you using? im not a EUC rider, but i do ride a onewheel and have fallen off that enough to know my fake hip should probably have some sort of protection lol not to mention after my last fall i bruised my tailbone pretty bad and couldn't sit for like a week #return

[@Duf]

I will need to get it on film. I bought it on Amazon, here is the link www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KJH6JK7

[@ricotdomond2631]

#return good luck back

[@Duf]

Thx buddy!

[@zuluslave2]

The infinite #return as we know it ..!!!

[@Duf]

Yes sir!

[@medium_dog7211]

Do you prefer the Patton over the master v4?

[@medium_dog7211]

#return 😂

[@Duf]

Yes but not by a huge margin

[@marty1765]

#return pidzoom gear is great!

[@Duf]

It sure is!

[@rayraytub1000]

Did you figure out by you Master inner tube went flat fast, but without exploding? Either way how did the tube just fail? Will you go tubeless? Glad Milton didn't thrash you #return

[@Duf]

If you watch my rebuild video you can see exactly what the tube looked like

[@rayraytub1000]

@@Duf ok, I missed it. I'll check it out. Don't want that to happen to my Master!

[@christopherthomas8522]

Can't stop, Won't stop. Keep slipping (rolling) into the future! Consider this, It shouldn't take a injury to dial in safety i.e. rearview mirror, butt/hip pads and elbow pads, but you're still missing motocross shoes and your pickle ball paddle. Try this, use hydrocolloid to recover and you'll be hooked on it more than getting DD or WaWa in the morning after a killer hurricane, you'll be stocking up on it more than robinhood. #nofear #return

[@Duf]

Never heard of hydrocolloid but I'll check it out thanks
