Onewheel Pint Off Road Review Range Test and Nosedive // I Survided

I wanted to see how the Onewheel Pint would handle some off roading and see how the range would be effected. I typically get a good bit less range on my Onewheel Plus when I take it off-road compared to just city streets carving so I wanted to see if the Pint was the same. I dont have a onewheel XR to compare with the pint but my plus should be fairly similar.. I was also very curious how the small tire on the pint would handle rocks, gravel, grass etc and see if the extra torque would help! I also ended up with a little nosedive on the pint, thankfully it was pretty soft but man I gotta do a better job of staying ready!

Huuge thanks to my wife for helping me with the edit and thumbnail!
Oh and if I can can rail guards that look like my thumbnail I will be all over it! I had to edit the **** out of the sage pint to get it to look like that lol.

[@freshlycharged]

Weird fall. The nose of the board was so low. Going uphill when you hit that divot? Glad you're okay.

[@JohnDDyer]

Yea it was uphill, battery below 50% and I was prolly a little too much weight forward.... thankfully it was soft😃 def made me think I prolly should have been better padded up...

[@johnlabernik4599]

I took my worst fall accelerating uphill, it takes a second for the board to level out when you accelerate

[@JohnDDyer]

Yea I really didn’t think I accelerated much, and the pint has been better at accelerating but I guess I pushed it a little too much lol.

[@cFlan]

I have a serious first time user question and I cant imagine a greater person to ask than you Jimmy. I just got a Pint.. I have ZERO experience with any board of any kind or with any electric device like this in general. I spent the whole first day on a tire that had over 20 PSI which I later found out is a big no no even on an XR who's tire is more stable and less rounded. Will having the proper PSI make it feel a little more stable and handle bumps better? My only experience with it so far my tire was solid as a rock. Any suggestions on how to make my balance more stable so I have more confidence? This thing can be really fun but I don't wanna brake my ankle one week into trying to learn it. I wanna go about this the right way so I don't have a $1,000 paper weight I'm to afraid to ride. Any advice you have would be vital to me. Thanks in advance.

[@Sscott1985]

cFlan How much do you weigh? Psi is gonna be different for most people depending on weight and whether you’re riding off-road or on pavement.

[@M4TT_ZZ93]

I was considering the XR. But after watching this. I might go with the Pint. I don't need range or speed. Just something FUN to ride.

[@JohnDDyer]

yea its great for that for sure and helps save a lot of money...

[@MrBmxbrawler]

You want the larger battery and tire

[@sethparmley8511]

That was me also. I love the Pint. Riding the hell out if it. Might get the XR, now but better to start small if money is a thing, like it is for me. I mean, this was a huge risk for me financially but it's paid off. I love it.

[@seanc.5310]

Glad to see you showcasing taking the Onewheel off road because it really shines off the road more than on. after discovering single track trails on the XR I never really went back to roads. Especially providing the Onewheel is an awesome off season alternative to snowboarding

[@JohnDDyer]

Yea man I totally get it. I have loved taking my plus on trails, I was excited to see that the pint held its own too, the trail I was on was really rocky but still a pretty good test.

[@gonzowheel5062]

I love your video! I think this is my favorite onewheel pint video on KZbin! I’ve watched tons and tons of videos on the pint, I’ve got a onewheel plus and my pint is shipping on August 30th 2019. Love onewheels to death. Float on my friend🤘

[@JohnDDyer]

Whoa thanks big time man! That’s some damn high praise! Super exciting about the pint! What color did u get???

[@Moefongoe]

Wow!! Thanks for this definitely getting one. I got a big yard that i was curious if this could handle it, u rode it hard through rocks n all perfectly. 🤟🏼

[@JohnDDyer]

thanks, I wouldnt say perfectly lol but I got it done lol. Have fun!

[@barackobama4790]

I’m 13 and I’m saving up for my first onewheel pint. I’ve been watching 10 onewheel videos a day and I’m really amped. I’m really surprised with your sub count. I thought you would have way more with the production level your putting out. Keep up the good work man. Keep putting out good stuff and I’ll keep coming back!

[@jhix1816]

Thanks for the video! Only took me watching the video for 1:00 to decide Im buying the pint. Do alot of camping so offroad is the main goal but couldnt bring myself to spend the 2000!

[@JohnDDyer]

yea I couldnt ever stomach the $2k either...but those XRs sure are nice, to me they should be much cheaper now since they are a couple years old...hopefully they will drop the prices soon if they come out with some new tech! (I have no idea if thats happening tho...)

[@bluepandaman]

Stuff like this is why I'd like to get a Onewheel in addition to my electric skateboard. The skateboard is a bit limited where it can go - it can go in hard grass but I'd never in a million years bring it offroad.

[@adamsotelo8812]

Just bought mine. Haven’t tried it yet. This video pumped me up! Gettin a helmet for sure 😉

[@JohnDDyer]

yea man safety first! You get the hang of it yet??

[@michaelsatterfield873]

Great helmet, big fan of the thousand products!

[@moontower9099]

Good Stuff. A fellow beginner tip...I have found that riding in "Elevated" mode whilst off-roading helps me tremendously with confidence and avoiding the ever dreaded nose dive. In elevated mode, as you probably already know, the board keeps the front pitched up slightly while riding. If you haven't already....give it a try next time. And I think its awesome that the great Jimmy Chang commented on your video! That dude has taught me so much about riding the OW!!

[@JohnDDyer]

Thanks David! Yea I honestly always forget about elevated. I’ll have to try that next time!

[@JohnDDyer]

And Jimmy is the best, I love watching his stuff it’s super informative! Hopefully I’ll get to meet him in person one day!

Saweeet! For sure man! I’m pretty sure ur XR would dominate my pint lol

[@jamesbaynes6580]

These Pints are so well made.

[@JohnDDyer]

No doubt!

[@douglashughes2331]

Like I used to tell my kids; If you make it through a whole day without falling, you aren't trying hard enough! Nice video, float on!

[@JohnDDyer]

hahah thanks Douglas, I couldnt agree more :) !!

[@PeterPaulMasigan]

Great music. Great one wheel trail review.

[@seanc.5310]

Yup keeping your weight forward off road is a big no no. If you board tail dives a bit you can just ride it out mostly but the nose will dig in and dump you. Also using a responsive high power shaping profile like delerium on the XR (not sure the name on Pint) will help a lot

[@JohnDDyer]

Thanks man, yea I totally forgot to goto elevated (no shaping on the pint) but I def should have had my weight further back, especially off-road up hill lol. I just go lazy 🙄

[@haastnation9922]

Road a loaner pint this week the off-road unless your on hard pack it is miserable. It's a three mph groan. It's much more functional on road and smooth pack dirt or tiny gravel. On the road it's a blast.

[@SunriseSessions]

Nice vid! I've got a question concerning the upcoming winter season. Can you ride the pint when the pavement is wet or will it slip out?

[@JohnDDyer]

It’s on my list to try! I haven’t had an opportunity yet but I will let you know when I do( prolly make a vid 😃). I suspect it will but you need to be more careful than the XR with the smaller tire...

[@scottferguson7416]

Good review,my kid wants a onewheel,$3700 in Australia for the XR,think I'll get him the pint seeing as it's ok off road ,it's $2100 Australian

As a new rider over 40 w/a new Pint, should I go for the Carbonsmith bumper wheels, or is that a waste. They’re on sale right now. Maybe just grab a float plate?

[@wiseowl3]

Hi John, I really enjoyed your video. I have a sand colored pint and I would like to switch the rail guard into a different color. How is your pint green and how can I get it?

[@JohnDDyer]

so the green pints were a limited production in the first set that came out. I think you would have to pick one up used.

[@amandajohnson5538]

I have a one wheel pint and XR and I ride them hard off-roading

[@pyramid992]

Skyline mode seems best when off roading as I feel it required less tilt. I'm new to this so definitely no expert just my opinion.

[@JohnDDyer]

yea I always forget to change the modes....

[@Sidkain]

Yep, just weight a little too far forward with those two bumps right in a row. Not a bad fall though, nice one!

[@JohnDDyer]

Thanks man! Yea I got lucky it was pretty soft, gotta keep my weight down, I was getting tired, cocky and lazy lol

[@cubiq1]

Cool video. Is your Plus much better at off-roading compared to the Pint? Or not much difference? Thanks

[@JohnDDyer]

I would say that it is, the wider tire helps, with that being said the mini is still fun and does have a little more low end torque because of the smaller diameter tire.

[@tollesbury1]

Totally awesome!! Thank you.

[@JohnDDyer]

Thanks Nigel! My pleasure!!

[@TechboyUK]

Great video! Do you get much exercise when riding it off-road and on-road? I'd imagine you do off-road as you have to move your bodyweight around a lot, but not so much on roads and pavements.

[@MittensFPV]

OneWheel of any model is a great leg work out on trails, and it's also a nice weight to use when you stop for a break and can use it to squat, curl, etc.

[@JohnDDyer]

Yea my legs are dead after an off-road ride for sure. And it’s pretty good for core too!

[@mediawolf1]

Great footage! What camera are you using, maybe a GoPro Max?

[@JohnDDyer]

Thanks big time! For this vid it was the gopro hero 7, it was a huge improvement to me over the older cameras. Now I use the max tho.

[@MrBmxbrawler]

The selfie stick, is it invisible? How does it remove itself

[@bomk2849]

Did she remove the plastic cover from the rail guards?

[@Mossssssssssssssssssssssssssss]

How well does a Pint fit into a school backpack? I'm interested in getting one, as well as riding it to school... but does it full well in a "Trans Jansport" backpack???

[@JohnDDyer]

its heavy....if you see my vid on flying with the pint you will see the bag I used to travel. they make some bags for the onewheel but they are price...

[@Pineapple-Lord]

Helmets are cool!!!

[@TheCHECK97]

Not sure if I missed this detail but is this with the stock tire?

[@bert0069]

What are you using to film. The selfie stick seems To disappear

[@liamronin821]

Love the onewheel pint. It ships to asia. $950 + shipping fee $150 = $1,100 x P52 = P57,200. That's a lot of money. Hahahaa. It would have been good if I earn US dollars. Good video.

[@JohnDDyer]

its a lot for sure, thats a big reason why i purchased my first board used because I was worried about spending that much, but its addicting and so much fun! Thanks for watching!

[@liamronin821]

John D Dyer sure no problem. You're lucky you bought a used one. But it works perfectly.

Do you know what your psi is? I’m trying to range what’s a good psi for mine

[@maynarddrivesfast804]

I know this is an old comment, but a good rule of thumb for tire psi on the Onewheel is 10% of your body weight. I weigh 205lbs, and I run my tire at 21psi.

If I didn’t have any I would buy either today and love it

Getting ready to buy my pint in January, part of me wants to just get the xr but its so damn expensive! Makes me think what if gets broken or stolen, thats 1800 bucks gone. With the pint the risk isn't as high. Am I over thinking this? Someone help! Lol
