Onewheel GT for a newbie

[@TheAnimeist]

As an older rider, I can tell you, you are doing the right thing. After a few hundred miles you'll know what makes you fall, so you avoid it. If you ride pavement exclusively, be careful when you start trails, as they can be a different matter. Practices that have helped me are doing figure 8s forever, in both my normal and switch stances. Welcome aboard!

[@TIAGOBEZERRA999]

I'm 44, I've been riding Onewheel for almost 3 years now, started with the Pint, and about 1 year ago 8 bought the GT. Today I feel 100% comfortable riding, but I keep it simple, never faster then 12mi/h, carving slow and nice. I am a Easy Rider. And I love it.

[@mr.sizexi510]

I’m 41 and love my GT. I take it all over the city and always get asked about it. Took me about 3-4 weeks before I felt comfortable but now I’m feeling stable and carving and can ride thru most common obstacles without thinking about it. I’m definitely not a speed demon I just like to cruise around 15-20mph and enjoy the ride but I definitely took my fair share of falls when I was first starting out. Keep riding float on and stay young at heart my brotha.✊🏾🤘🏾

[@nickcanclimb]

I just got my first OneWheel, a GT and I absolutely love it! I have a skating background from when I was younger. I did halfpipes and handrails and stuff. My day one on OneWheel was so fun and comfortable I had one bump I launched at probably 14 mph but I was able to bail and run it out.. I was focused that time so good bail! Funny enough two days later was riding it and the fam was on regular bikes.. I smoked them and at one point slowed way down to look back for them. I did this a few time, but this one time in the shade in front of me was a tiny weird dip in the road. Luckily I was going super slow and it wasn’t a nosedive but I hit that dip not looking and the board flew out from under me (forward). I went up and down like a slipping on ice type of fall and my shoulder was sore from catching myself! Definitely just always stay focused. Get in a flow state and enjoy. Complacency has big consequences on these unlike a skateboard or something. Other than that I feel confident that all shouldn’t happen too much and I’m already back on and floating all over Tahoe! 🙌🏼

[@jayphive2468]

I’m thinking about getting a one wheel here in Reno. Have fun and stay safe man!

[@jmd6359]

I'm 60, just got my GT, and I am really struggling with it! Lol First try and fell a few times just crawling, cuz I'm having trouble with stopping and dismounting, and heal to toe balance. Pulled a ligament or two in my already doomed knees (wrecked from downhill skiing for the first 25/30 years of my life... but I had an awesome time!) Nothing as serious as your shoulder injury, but I've done not even a full 2 miles yet! Not sure why I'm so nervous on it, because I love it honestly. I just know it's gonna take me a long time to "get it", which is frustrating, but fine since I know I need to take it slow! Fyi... I wear "ATGAT"... "all the gear all the time"... cuz I'm too old to get laid up and miss out on so much fun! Thank you for your insightful and helpful video. I hope you're back into your riding and I look forward to watching more of your stuff... ❤

[@therealbergexperience5640]

Your doing my friend. I think we all start with that shakey leg syndrome. You just have to give it a little time. Especially with the knees. Glad your geared up. Your doing everything right. 2 or 3 good days and you’ll be hooked. I didn’t really learn the toe heal raise in the beginning. Just bailed 2 feet 🤣 I do now. Just took time. Keep floating my friend 🏄🏾‍♂️

[@johnthompson8190]

At age 71 and after 250 miles of riding my GT I've learned to wear protective gear!... especially after a crash when I wasn't wearing my helmet nor any of the body protective stuff I'd bought... felt it was too cumbersome. Now I know better.

Awesome!! Welcome to the community, I'm debating on upgrading to the GT from my XR , I'm 41 and loving it!!! My XR is getting more mileage than my crotch rocket lol. I remember my 1st actual fall and was not fun. Now I use my motorcycle gear when I get speedy on the XR

Next month I’ll be 56 and I bought a GT two weeks ago, it definitely took a few hours in the house going back and forth hanging on to the back of the couch. Yesterday I rode 24 miles on just about everything except heavy off road. Once a new rider is over the learning curve, I wish I bought mine years ago!

[@therealbergexperience5640]

Wow. That is seriously impressive. 24 miles already 😵 I got it back in may and have only done 24 3 times. I did just do a 78 mild day but that was me just pushing the limit. The board is truly life changing. If you can wear gear. It’s hard tho. I go floating all the time with nothing. Barefoot 🤣🤦🏾‍♂️ but it’s all fun. I float everyday. Have to work in New Orleans for 4 days. Might just drive just so I can take it with me 🙌🏾 be safe and enjoy the float life my friend 🏄🏾‍♂️

[@davida1679]

@@therealbergexperience5640 it’s me again lol. Crashed pretty hard yesterday. I’m learned a hard and very painful lesson with what they call “kickback!” I had the GT set on “float” in the programming, came to a medium size hill, added more pressure to the front foot pad, cruising up the hill nicely at about 12-15 MPH and out of nowhere the board did a nose dive and stopped immediately! Flew right off the board and had to go to the emergency room. Deep road rash in seven different places on my body. Very irritating because I felt that I did nothing wrong to deserve this crash? I’m still waiting for a response back from Future Motion, trying to research if I had my board set on Highline or Apex? Would this still have happened? If this keeps happening I’m cutting up my board into 1000 pieces and sending it back to them. Betcha the next generation GT, they’ll have it figured out how to stop Kick back from happening? Grrr. It’s all good though, I’m hoping the different settings to Apex will resolve this problem? I hope? Lol

[@skigeek]

Hope the shoulder heals up good and quick. Getting close to the 50 here and my thought is do it while you can for as long as you can.

[@therealbergexperience5640]

Most certainly will my friend!! Thing is too fun to get rid of

[@SoarswithSwords]

Wow you got up to 20 mph in the first 20 miles?! You’re nuts! I didn’t break 20 mph until I’d done over 500 miles on my GT. Regardless, great vid and beautiful board! Keep up the practice and training :D

[@mitchellroot9738]

Biggest game changers for me were wearing running shoes instead of skate shoes, switching tires to the craft and ride Burris, and my airpad. The airpad is so much easier on your feet, the tire change makes me less scared any time I have to briefly go on grass, and the shoes keep my feet from going numb as quickly. I’ve got about 280 miles total, I put on about 150 miles my first month. I feel you guys that have gotten hurt! It’s hard to stay away. Wear your wrist guards and helmet if nothing else…

[@malacron]

Love the video. Your comment about falling, being hurt, and still anxious to get back on and ride more sums up the experience for me. I'm 45 and have fallen a few times in nearly 1500 miles. Your right gear up, always have a helmet (just pitched my first helmet cause it split after a recent fall at 15 mph), stuff happens and I agree the feeling is worth it

[@therealbergexperience5640]

Thank You my friend. No pain no gain right? 😂 this pain I could’ve done without though 🤣 but yes too fun to get rid. Just have to make better decisions. Like wearing the gear for starters.

[@me_josh]

Bro wear gear and take it super slow....you need like 500 miles before you can ride like they do on videos...don't get over confidence...know your board and wear gear... The most expensive part of the one-wheel is the person on it

[@therealbergexperience5640]

Thank you my friend. Definitely not try to ride like the pros. When I fell I was only doing like 2 mph. I ve gotten up to 20 once. Beeps at 19 and I slow up. I’ve only got about 65 miles in. I think. Gonna order more gear today too. Thanks again bud!!

[@bleedsblue05esk8]

I love riding this thing. Don’t let them tell you you’re to old for this lol. I’m almost 40 and have over 1300 miles on this thing. I’d definitely wear a helmet man. It is only a matter of time before you go down again. I’ve crashed mine 3 times. Luckily no serious injuries yet. One thing that has saved me a lot is the flight fins because they allow you to lock in and hold onto the board more on the unexpected bumps. Also that stock tire is really hard and tends to bounce you around a lot more. Stay safe man and look forward to seeing more videos.

[@therealbergexperience5640]

Thanks my friend. Definitely wearing my helmet. Need some more gear to. What’s a good tire to get. They say you lose mileage with the enduro.

[@bleedsblue05esk8]

@@therealbergexperience5640 you might lose a mile. I’m a lighter rider so I haven’t noticed a big difference with the enduro.

[@lolzguyl]

@@therealbergexperience5640 I can hear it when you talk, man you're hooked and I love it! Tire preference is a subjective thing and whether you ride offroad or primarily on the streets/pavement can inform your choice. The GT being a new board and having 6.5 inch rims instead of 6" like the XR, has fewer aftermarket tire options to choose from. The two I can think of off of my head are the TFL enduro and the TFL street pro. One's a slick tire and the other is a treaded, both really solid tires! Worth noting, both tires are sold out in most places atm.

[@judyfleming310]

Age 46, and had mine just under a month. I've rode just over 80 miles or so, with a top speed of 21.3. I'm usually cruising around 14-16mph though. I've fallen a few times, but no injuries. I do wear a full skateboard pad set. I agree it is a lot of fun, and really glad I got one. I did the sensor hack so I have to jump off to dismount. I've had it on Simplestop, which is easy to do, but I still like jumping off. Simplestop gave me a lot of confidence when learning, but I'm now wondering if it was a mistake, because things really feel awkward when I turn it off and try to go the other direction.

[@therealbergexperience5640]

43 today and I love it. Need to get a lot more miles in. I feel like if I can get that stop down it’ll be a lot better. It just looks smoother than jumping off and get a few nicks every time.

Definitely too fun to sell. I’m 47. Crashed on day 2. Total noob. Never skateboarded before. My mistake was trying to push through exhaustion. As a result I experienced a death wobble, was too unstable to try to slow it down so I aimed to bail. Didn’t clear the board. Ended up with one foot on the asphalt and one on the accelerator. Powered into doing the splits. Pulling both the groin muscle and hamstring on my right leg. My knee slammed into the asphalt at 17.5 kms (sideways blow). Thankfully nothing broken. Very thankful I was wearing Alien Rides knee and elbow guard bundle. As hitting your knee from the side can really mess it up. Much like yourself I ordered more padding, a bum saver from craft and ride and a armoured jacket from the float life. I’m looking forward to riding again in a couple weeks 😊

I got the GT last year for my 50th birthday and I’m new to OneWheel. Never too old to have fun. Recently installed the Land-Surf Fangs 3.0, hope I don’t need to experience nosedive. 😬 Hope you get better soon. 🤙

[@rodmoore5758]

Brother you in Key West? I talked to you a few months ago in front of your house as I was riding my OW XR! It was me my wife and daughter. They were on Segaway scooters. That said, I fell after 600+ miles of riding Saturday (23OCT23)! I broke my shoulder blade and collarbone in multiple places! I literally don't know what happened I felt no push back just one minute I was living my best life and the next I was on the ground knocked out all busted up. So glad I had a helmet on! I am getting plates and screws on my collarbone tomorrow (3OCT23). I love love love carving on this thing BUT at 53 (soon to be 54 on the 21st) I am not sure if I can afford to loss any more time at work and possible medical discharge from the Navy early. I only have 5 years to go. That said, I have a long road to recover. I can't imagine not riding but also know the pain and inconvenience for me and the fam this has caused. We hopefully will be back in KW unless my healing do not allow me to come. Be safe and let me know if that was you!

[@paulminer165]

I love my GT! I did break a rib a year ago but still ride it. The Float Life Enduro tire made it feel much more stable than the stock treaded tire. The fangs are a must in my opinion.

[@Yielar1]

I recently bought my first OW and went with the GT as well. I did practice on a local soccer field and get my footing sort of speak there before heading to the pavement which I recommend since it's a lot more forgiving. I also keep my front foot angled and not side ways in case I want to jump off and run it out.

[@therealbergexperience5640]

The only thing with that grass is there’s no grip. I road a little on the field here and it was not fun. I thought I was gonna bust ass trying to look cool in front of the whole crowd 🤣 definitely not my finest moment. Looked like real rookie 😭 in which some ways I am 🤣

[@winstongreene8949]

Bro, I hope your shoulder heals without any real damage. I'm saying this to you, because a week ago my GT nosedived (it had been doing that sporadically for the past few months, and this particular nosedive happened on a group ride while i was going bout 18 MPH. I've since sent it back to Future Motion for repair). I basically suffered the same injury on my shoulder... It hurt like hell!! I will say protective gear is a must. I was informed early on that you must prepare for the fall, not the ride. Though I always wear a helmet and wrist guards, I've now incorporated shoulder and elbows pads. The GT is amazing and you will have a lot of fun riding it. BTW - I'm 51 years old and I practice running out the board by skipping a jump rope every now and then. Be well and ride safe|

[@OcculiMortis]

April 6, 2021 is when I had a bad fall. I traumatically ripped my top rotator cuff (supraspinatus, sorry for the spelling.) off the bone. Partially tore a bicep muscle. And had a tear in my labrum. It was a mysterious nosedive to me, but I think I know why it happened. I was going between 5-9 miles a hour. Ended up having surgery on July 19, 2021. I had 5 months of physical therapy but ended up having to go back to work way earlier then I should have. At the 5 month mark I was only up to lifting 5 pound weights at therapy. I had my Pint and my XR for a year when it happened. It is said that it takes a year for the rotator cuff to properly heal. So I added another year to it. I have not rode for 2 years now. On the 2 year anniversary of my crash, this last April, I was going to have my roommate help me do a fun video of me getting back on the board. But weather and other things prevented it. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about riding and getting back on it. The crappy part is that I have to start from zero again with endurance and all that stuff. I do spicy stuff on my channel ever so often so I guess I can incorporate getting back on the board for the first time with something spicy. 3 years ago I bought these boards and have loved them. I love the true feeling of floating. I’m not a speedster, the fastest I’ve gone is 15 miles an hour. I loved wakeboarding and this is what it makes me feel like, but on concrete. The carving like I’m on water is so fun. I bought them when I was 48, crashed at 49, spent my 50th in a super sling. I will get back on my XR very soon. 2 years has been agonizing to not be able to ride. I will do this.

[@therealbergexperience5640]

I picked up a pintx a year ago with zero board experience. Built up confidence too fast and tried riding with my very experienced buddies. I ended up pushing the board way too hard up hill and took a nose dive fracturing my elbow. Luckily I had protective gear otherwise my elbow would have been mush. I understood my mistake and gained more respect for the board. A year has gone by and I’m a much better rider and go on very technical trails. I upgraded to a GT last week and am waiting for my enduro tire and flight fins. My pint is always in the back of my truck and I’m ready to rip at any moment. This has easily been the best purchase I’ve ever made when it comes to pure fun/mental health booster.

@@therealbergexperience5640 if you have a GT there’s not much reason to get a pintx unless: 1. You have the extra cash 2. You want a lighter board that turns on a dime.

[@therealbergexperience5640]

Most definitely. Thank you my friend. All great advice. I already learned enough the hard way 😂 wrist is actually the thing I was worried about but I hit the same bone most people do. That collar bone. Man on man did itvhurt

[@jeffsnider2913]

Welcome to the float life! Enjoy answering all the questions to come 😆 FOMF

Onewheel is not build for speed. Onewheel is build to go with the flow bro! 🤙 enjoy it. I love mine!

[@FREDDIEHUBBARDMUSIC]

Love how u look at your 1 wheel like she’s your wife

[@therealbergexperience5640]

That Onewheel has just as much rights in my house that the wife does 😭😂 nah. Just joking. Almost though 🤣 nah let me stop. My wife is my queen. Gotta give it to her. She actually bought that 1wheel

[@danielduggan8666]

20 mph that soon?? Anyways put on your helmet and wrist guards bro.

[@therealbergexperience5640]

I know bud. Your right. I mean I’m not riding 20 on a regular. Go up to. Big tell me your never tempted to go on a quick ride. No gear 😂 I know I’m not the only 1. But your right bro. I’m wearing the gear. I learned the hard way.

[@Zetler]

NO. Start and ride on the GT or don't start at all. Onewheel is all about torque and power. Once you eliminate the user error the more torque and power you have, the safer you are. Despite all its power, the GT can reach its performance envelope very easily and the limit can come up on you fast based on how heavy you are. You need to remember that the Onewheel isn't like a bike or a scooter. When the bike or a scooter doesn't have enough power, it stops. When the Onewheel doesn't have enough power, it will suddenly nose dive at 15-20 mph sending you straight to the hospital.

[@heymoe1179]

Don't push it to 20 mph. C'mon...rolling at 10 or 15 mph (or anything faster than a jog) is plenty fast for us 50+ year olds. I love the GT...nothing like it. Rode one for the past couple weekends (rode a friends second board)...and fell in love. I have a lot of learning to do...but I'm hooked.

[@iBenCruz]

Great review. Falling is part of the process unfortunately. Age ain't nothing but a number, I've seen 70 year old's riding. I'm 51. Keep on floating!!!

[@therealbergexperience5640]

Thank my friend. Most definitely have learned. Back on the horse and loving it. Nothing like floating in the wind 💨 float my friend 🏄🏾‍♂️

[@User_92020]

If it makes you feel better, i drank one time just a few drinks rode my onewheel and ate shit 😆. My back and left elbow was all bruised up 😆

[@therealbergexperience5640]

I feel I float a little better when I drink 🤣 only done it twice 😭

[@rbrtsparkman]

Yea, those low speed crashes are the worst

[@therealbergexperience5640]

Fo real my friend. I gotta give it up to the people the crash gracefully 👏🏾 I did a bellyflop on the pavement.

[@rbrtsparkman]

@@therealbergexperience5640 The board took my feet out from under me and I did a back flop. Glad I was wear ALL of the pads.

[@MichaelGriffin-Roman]

I just fell today at 19mph smh

[@therealbergexperience5640]

I fell too but luckily ran it out. I’ll be putting that video out soon. I’ve fallen 5 times total. Each time I’ve gotten a little better.

[@anthonyhill5693]

I just purchased my GT I am 66 years old

[@therealbergexperience5640]

That is awesome. I love to hear it. Keep floating my friend and stay safe 🤙🏾

[@magic_steve]

Ur only too old for it when u stop riding, bruddah. I build onewheels now. Gear up dude 🤙

[@j.m.9684]

Right On…Brutha’…I’m 48 and I’ve busted my A$$ a few times, but me and my 13yr old son…love it…it’s great bonding time for us!

[@therealbergexperience5640]

I love to hear that. I have a 8 year and I’m on the fence on get him one. What’s your 13 year old riding?

[@j.m.9684]

@@therealbergexperience5640 That’s Bro… My son is riding the Pint X…when the come out with a better version of GT…I’ll get it & pass on my GT to my son!

[@Lightbeam0000]

Like I said in another video, gen exers are buying these. It's an expensive toy!

[@therealbergexperience5640]

The older you get the more expensive your toys are 🤷🏾‍♂️🏄🏾‍♂️

[@anthonyhill5693]

you need a helmet

[@therealbergexperience5640]

I have a brain bucket. I wear it. Just not every single time.

[@Daniel-yo5es]

I had a heinous nosedive last weekend. I tried to push past push back. dont do it... there's no time to fall right.

[@brandon10301991]

20 mph is nearly as fast as you can go. could only squeeze another few mph or so

[@therealbergexperience5640]

In apex you can get a little more but I’m good at 15. I just got up to 20 a few times and it’s never felt great. Cruising at 15 is my speed.

[@smokeyBJJ]

I’ve done 26mph on my GT
