Great video! Lots of great info. I don't own a OneWheel but I'm 35 and I just bought an Evolve Bamboo GTX electric longboard in January. I haven't been on a skateboard since I was a teenager. I've been practicing here and there after work during the daylight hours and getting more and more confident, and I'm having a blast. I have a lot of the same experiences you're having... feeling burning in my calves, achilles, and soles of the feet from the way you have to balance on the board. I haven't left the neighborhood yet because I live in a pretty urban area in South Florida, but I've gone on a couple 5+ mile rides and I'm really starting to love it. Thanks again for sharing your experience.

[@MANSHED]

[@az5882]

There's always a reason when the ow+ board corrects you. That's called pushback when the nose comes up. It's pretty much a warning. I can only recommend you getting more miles and experience with the ow+ with on Mission and cruise if you just started. The more aggressive digital shaping modes like delirium with top speed have low threshold for pushback. Means you can go fast and the board will not correct or warn you with pushback or at least not often . Many people step on it and go full speed which can be really dangerous if the board engine turns off.. if you power through and step on pushback and suppress it the motor may turn off at high speeds, Downhills etc because it's overloaded and you may get really serious injury or even die. The ow support boards are full of stories of people who really really hurt themselves on delirium. Torn lungs etc. You have to understand the engine and the pushback and get a feeling for electric side of the board to avoid injuries. Protective gear won't save your bones if you nosedive at high speed. Im talking from experience with shoulder injury from that ow+. I'm experienced snowboarder but I didn't know all technical limits of the ow+ and that may really crush you if your nose dives into concrete at 12mph or more. Read all you can about this matter. Also never step on it with full weight on the nose when board is getting going . Start speeding up evenly until you reach your desired speed or the engine may turn off if you try to start like a rocket. Happened to me. Put all my weight on front to start really fast and it went few yards and turned off. Electric motors don't like that. Nice nose dive and busted shoulder smashed into concrete. I was too comfortable with it because of snowboard experience and i already was going fast on flat but didn't know stuff like that the engine can turn off if you overpower it. Don't start fast uphill and stuff like that. Can't speak much for offroad. Rode a lot of flat surfaces with much elevation. Stay safe...get a lot of feeling for pushback and a good stance before you go all fast on delirium... to quote the @onewiththewheel "The problem in my opinion (I've just eclipsed about 250 miles on mine) is that it feels so good, that it lures you into a false kind of confidence. This is especially prevalent when coming up against pushback - I've crashed mine at 18 and 16 mph and they were pretty rough. I would say if you are pushing into those speed ranges it is more dangerous than skateboarding." yeah thats it...always keep in mind that the engine can turn of and this thing will nosedive even if you dont crash because of your riding skills or something

[@mrakbmark1]

For sure this was rider error. Pushback is built in for a reason.

[@StructureDecksandPergolasOmaha]

Ditto! 20 mph slide on your bare hands and elbows is not fun. I’m ordering some protective gear. My wife is tired of all my bandaids. Ha ha

[@cotyblalock4454]

first day I got my board I was being too cocky and had a motor shutoff at 27 mph.. was only wearing my helmet so I had some very very nice road rash to say the least, surprisingly didn't break anything tho :)

[@xlw12]

Sorry but i have to correct you.. I had several nosedives in mission mode but not a single one in delirium. You can read the same in the official onewheel forums!

[@googleuser-ly2ek]

A Z I don’t think what you experienced was the motor turning off. I think what happened is the brains of the self balancing mechanism couldnt compute and quits causing the nose dive. I know that my board was still accelerating when it dived because I felt it and can see the sliding damage on bumper. The motor definitely did not stop. That would be grounds for lawsuits. Until we really know what Future Motion has sold us we should be filming if possible

[@onewiththewheel1800]

As a 40 year old with reasonable skateboarding experience, I can tell you that the Onewheel+ is fairly dangerous and you are right to warn that you will eat it. Wristguards and helmet are a must - I posted a video after a 16mph no wristguard wipeout where cheese grater gravel ate my hands. The problem in my opinion (I've just eclipsed about 250 miles on mine) is that it feels so good, that it lures you into a false kind of confidence. This is especially prevalent when coming up against pushback - I've crashed mine at 18 and 16 mph and they were pretty rough. I would say if you are pushing into those speed ranges it is more dangerous than skateboarding. Even as a seasoned skater my feet get sore on long rides (at 165 lbs I can get almost 9 miles on mine :)), but I do have to mindfully become aware of my legs and feet and relax them mentally which makes a big difference.

[@MANSHED]

OnewiththeWheel great points. Thanks for the feedback. :)

[@c0pyimitati0n]

I have a Trotter and I max out at about 11mph and I feel like I'm always ready for a potential Wipeout and so far I've managed to mainly stay on my feet. Just ordered the new XR and I probably better get a helmet now.

[@MANSHED]

c0pyimitati0n I’m jealous!

[@aaron-bieber]

I, too, am 39, and I have had my OneWheel+ XR for three days now. Out on the rail trail today I had my first real, actual, fall at speed. I had the board on the most conservative shaping mode ("Sequoia," I think?) so I wasn't going faster than maybe 8-9 mph, but it was not fun. Yes I had a helmet AND wrist guards on, and judging by how much plastic got chewed off the wrist guards I'm glad I did! I fell victim to the infamous "speed wobble" and I failed to do a proper jump to bail off and down I went. Now, what I wanted to say here is, I believe this happened because my ankle and shin muscles are fatigued! I have not felt actual soreness; I am also a fairly athletic guy, I do a lot of general bodyweight exercise, and I haven't felt the "oh my god burning legs" or Jell-O legs from riding this thing, but I can feel that my response is looser and the muscles are just not as "tight" when I'm on the board. This is a long way of saying PAY ATTENTION to how you're feeling on the board and if you feel loose or sluggish in your ankles (especially) and TAKE A BREAK, like take a day off, and recover back to full strength. Don't do what I did and push it and end up flying off the thing.

[@brianagee2790]

I just turned 38 and am impatiently awaiting the arrival of my Onewheel Pint. I have no damn experience with electric anything nor never skateboarded or snowboarded. Pretty worried I'm going to die from this hobby. 😂

[@gbrian9090]

Hey guy seen you on here for years and thanks for your helpful vids and input we need more guys like you.b Just wanted to add my two "sense" on the soft vs flat shoe thang. So interestingly my opinion changed with experience. In other words I was at a level for the longest time where if I didn't wear my vans I was all over the place and out of control with my New balance or Hoka's. Wasn't even a thought Flat Vans ornI didn't ride , period. To keep this short I'll just say now as I edge up to 16k between four boards. I Cannot do what I do or have the Superman control I need nor ride as long if I wore my Vans. Truly I would challenge you to try it again. This time know you have everything you need now I got head as a good rider and all your special little One wheel leg muscles have developed and now are ready to try out your flight shoes. I can NOW do things at 52 no one has done or at least have yet to see anyone else attempt. I'll just say the springyness and roll room I'll call it enables me to have much more range I EVERY WAY over flats. Flats are handy with flightfins. They just snug-uo better so course control is better. Ok,be safe all . And remember above all always always always KNOW TERRIAN AHEAD NOT YOU IF YOU MUST WALK IT FIRST. MANY EXAMPLES WHY BUT HERE'S ONE FOR FREE. YOUR RIDING AT NIGHT ALL IS FLAT LIKE BUTTER YOU WAITED AND LIVED FOR THIS. WITH A COOL NIGHT BREEZE THIS IS HEAVEN YOU FEEL SO ALIVE QND AWAR.......E......!!!@)#)$+$(@&#!!!!!! YOU JUST HIT A SPEED BUMP THAT EVEN LOOKING BACK YOU STILL CAN'T SEE BECAUSE ITS UNPAINTED!!!! WERENT THEY SUPPOSED TO BE PAINTED YELLOW???? NOPE AND DONT EXPECT ALL WILL BE GOOD BECAUSE THAT MAKES MORE SENSE . ACL hurts bad then there's surgery and waiting a whole week after surgery to get riding again. Crap!, Month later and did it AGAIN to other leg now. Last thing and very important. I know how to just let go and fall and had my ego been on break I wouldn't have cared about how so looked falling or trying to ,," run out the accident" to look cool or not as embarrassed because that kind of pressure I asked of my body was ridiculous and although I tried to save some embarrassment at 5he very 3nd I fell anyway. Everytime. This is a one wheel device! It's basically a "seesaw" on one wheel and some of us actually know that and God bless us we venture out again anyway. Well, sometimes love hurts. Hurts real bad. Just Glad I haven't quit and probably will still be riding if it means I'll have to strap a lawn chair to my board like those other guys who have done it 😊

[@MANSHED]

That's so true and thank you for the insight. Float on Bro!

[@tonyv2132]

Nice, I've watched a butch of videos about the onewheel and none talked about the goofy/ regular option on the app, I also ride goofy, I already have a onewheel and I concur with everything you said, I took a Nosedive riding kinda hard on mission mode (had all the safety gear on, it's a must with this beast). Still need to try the delirium mode, hopefully it works better for me too. No matter what I love it, can't wait to ride on all the new places this board will be able take me...Thanks for all the info!

[@MANSHED]

Nice! Glad you are getting the hang of it. It only gets easier and more natural the more stay co distant with it. Float on!

[@cinqtat1459]

What good advice. I actually bought the xr and returned it. The issue I had but it didn't look like it bothered you, was the size of our feet. Like you, I'm tall with big feet so for the front for pad to work, our toes have to overhang the board. I like to ride with the ball of my foot, but the motor would not disengage. I just kept going backwards.

[@MANSHED]

cinq tat yea, that happened to me too until I learned the princess toe step. Pushing my knee out and raising my heel made it a piece of cake. :)

[@VodkaHellstorm]

Late to the party of this vid but I've been thinking of getting in at the entry level Pint OneWheel, it's a huge investment for me though, but summer is approaching in Australia and I want to get out and about more. I get it's an electric motor, which takes a lot of the work out of traditional skating, but do you find there are any fitness benefits to riding the OneWheel regularly, aside from getting more fresh air and sunshine?

[@MANSHED]

Unprofessional Gamers the pint is a great choice! I personally feel like I got a bit of a workout after doing a decent ride on my XR. There are still a lot of physical activities going on while riding the OneWheel. Balance, stance, adrenaline Etc...

It's awesome to see a lot of people on the bigger side like me in your comments talking about their plans to start riding, and the rest of your fans being nothing but encouraging. I'm seriously considering the Pint with plans to upgrade to the XR+ (or whatever the flagship board is at the time) if I'm still using it in a year or so.

10:30 Please don't do this. Just jump of the board with both feet at the same time. If you are not going fast do a kind of jump by just lifting up your feet.

Great video, great tips and great Corvette, quite rightly always in the background. You've worked hard to buy it, so I enjoyed looking at it. So now you have to make a video of the Corvette too. Our Government doesn't like these sort of things (motion boards) here in the UK, but depending on the cost, I may say to hell with them. They already banned the Segway here. One thing, although I may have missed the answer, is how long does a charge last for?

[@cloutcat7854]

just got mine a couple days ago. Was practicing on mission and got the hang of it for 2 hours in the park riding it around the block on smooth concrete surfaces with no bumps (got 5 miles of riding time with no falls). With a boost of confidence I thought I was ready for the bike lane on the main road while cars were driving by next to me. Was going on mission mode about 11 miles an hour and there was a huge ditch in the ground and I lost my balance ended up landing on my feet but I couldn't keep up and did a running fall and landed on my shoulder. Thankfully I had all protective gear on (helmet, wrist guards, knee guards and elbow guards) but still hurt my shoulder for the past 2-3 days and it's still sore inside. Kinda scared to ride it again but I'm gonna practice more on smooth surfaces now for about 10-20 miles before I take it out on the streets. Word of advice make sure you practice a lot before you take it off road or near cars or anything because its different when you ride by yourself when no one is around than riding with obstacles/pedistratons, cars, bumps and what not. Always wear protective gear then starting off because you can get serious injuries if you do something dumb.

This is a great video as I'm 6' plus and around 200 lbs. Every thing Mike is talking about is right on. Wear protection gear as the one-wheel is not a toy it's a street surfing machine.

I must say it's awesome an 3 years of owning it. I'm not disappointed I bought the knock off. It also has 3 settings depending on skill. Built in Bluetooth speaker and a application to track speed distance and battery life. Which last me an hour and a half easy but I'm 6'1" at 165 lbs. Has brake and head lights. You'll love it when you get it! I'm not a skater or surfer. But I have decent balance took me maybe an hour to get. Made my wife stand in front of me with hands out to help with balance at first.

I’m 42, and more interested in carving than going super fast.

[@9epsilon]

This is a really fun Rube Goldberg contraption full of band-aids and after-thought add-ons. I thought about buying one so I checked out a lot of youtubers for their reviews and opinions. They all love it BUT the most common sentence is "you will go down if.." and all of them got hurt, some badly enough to brake bones. When this thing nose dives and digs in, there's no way to recover. Some complain that it nose dives for no apparent reason. Someone added tiny leading edge wheels (another band-aid). Being perpendicular to the direction of travel means you're flung off sideways at high speed. It's not particularly stable laterally either. Just getting on and off it requires special skill. Can't go too fast or you'll nose dive, position your foot just so or again, kiss the ground. If you're tired, you'll eat it (Micheal speaking at 13:23 in this vid). The list goes on. It's clear this is a work in progress and good luck to the buyers. May your journey be safe. I'll stick to inline skates and my E-board until they figure how to work the bugs out. This thing in its current iteration is dangerous.

I feel like this video should be great toward less coordinated or balance challenged. Muscles don't have much to do with it. Also, age has nothing to do with it. I'm 44 & picked it up quick. Love how the vette shows up in many shots!

[@TheScottThomas]

I'm 43 but am a pretty advanced snowboarder. To me the OneWheel is the greatest invention ever created, it's just so much fun and I ride it everyday. Great video, good tips, keep it up!!

[@MANSHED]

Scott Thomas thanks! Yea, I love it, walk past my corvette all the time in favor of hoping on my OneWheel+ now. 😎😂

[@joshiepooh]

I'm 34. I used to skate & snowboard as a teen and preteen. After decades of being out of sports and sitting on ass in front of a computer, I have lost the majority of my core balance and strength. 6'2 165lbs. I got an XR and I love the thing. 140mi and 23.3mph since I got it, about two weeks ago.

[@blakehenderson8828]

Joo Ish how's it feel compared to snowboarding, debating between this or the boosted stealth but hear those things turn like Caddy's and think I'd prefer a tighter turn radius.

[@cristianconstantin6496]

I tried both but only for a short amount of time. The OW is very high off the ground but it has that huge wheel which can go over anything. Boosted is exactly the opposite. the OW looks like it's more fun though and also more dangerous. Also look into electric unicycles, they are interesting

All these "balance" devices came out AFTER the Segway introduced the technology. Did Segway not have a patent?

[@douglasfox2733]

Your feet moving are because of fabric softener :P I dont always tie my shoes; that's how big a difference that will make. This sounds bad but day 2, same socks, no fabric softener? Yeah you can just tuck your laces in. Youll be fine.

[@1982pantro]

Hello from Rio Rico, AZ. Im 38 and I'm thinking of getting one soon. Do you still ride it after 2 years? Pros and cons? Thanks and stay safe.

[@flashgordon3715]

I know what you mean about the wrong muscles suddenly. I have a a bad knee that wont quite handle the wide stance on the XR. Helmet, wrist guards, dirt bike body armor, and knee pads. Respect the wheel

[@CherylCoco]

Such a great video! I’m purchasing. Thanks Mansell. You answered all of my questions.

[@PhotoBoothStartUp]

came for the one wheel review... left wanting the corvette

[@MANSHED]

Photo Booth Start Up haha, it is a blast. :)

[@genoodor]

Dude thanks for the video got one for Xmass but it's on backorder in till March. Im 47 6 2" I was worried about my size but after watching your video no more . This is the first video i've seen shows a real person ridding a one wheel thanks for all the tips!!

[@robertrecco710]

Dude do me a favor don’t give bullshit a advice specially when you were saying how to bail off the board your way broken ankles just go drive your precious Corvette and leave the one wheelie for the real boys

[@pierrec3943]

Nice vid..but looking at it with the background moving around when you talk to the camera ,almost made me sea sick...

[@QuadFarm]

great video dude! I ordered one should be here tuesday- 48 years old, little skate boarding but mostly skiing in my past. Im a farmer now and do miles and miles walking back and forth during the day. usually for a screwdriver or something.....seeing this answered some questions for me coming from a similar point of view. Im no great board rider. I actually welcome the core and legs exersize that is fairly low impact on my bad skiing knees. I am in better shape now than I was in my 30's and I hope this will step that up a bit.

[@alexdecat3341]

Purchased the OW plus XR...nose dove after 150 miles, sent to ER with broken shoulder. Over priced rubbish, nothing should ever shut down and violently nose dive you to smash into the ground! Don't be a fool wearing safety equipment still not prevent arm dislocations and serious injury. This thing is overpriced junk.

[@tomservo3401]

I can just see falling down hard, knocking yourself out for a moment, waking up and the $1950 board is gone =O

[@mmm053]

Thanks for the info, man. Your video is 100X more informative than the Onewheel site. Truly appreciate your effort to inform. One question, though; how does a 6'7" guy squeeze himself into that sweet Stingray?

[@MANSHED]

Sterling Archer Like a Glove. :)

[@yungxama1606]

aweesome video, im thinking about buying one as a 36yo with no skate experience so this was perfect info!!

[@michaelwilson5387]

I’m 55 years old, and have the pint, the xr, msx and msx pro unicycles. Enjoy,

[@yellowchartreuse]

Too much close up on your face. Not that your face is bad - it's just not effective and it's distracting.

[@sweetsketch3]

54yrs old got a onewheel and ride pantano wash bike trail at about golf links all the time. I love the thing I look for any reason to get out for errands.

[@mickithappen7844]

I don't care about the shoes, or wrist guards bla bla.... Show us that awesome corvette man 😀

[@BirdyinBOI]

Good job. Nice video.

[@MANSHED]

Phil Ackerman thank you!

[@TimKirkmt]

nice video. another way to get off, rather than lift your heal, just turn your foot out, keeping the heal on the board, and turn your foot out, does the same thing to turn motor off, and you don't have to lift your leg as much

[@johngould3669]

"This is not me but this is what I think I look like" ROTFLMAO Thanks for the laugh

[@oba113]

What is the max weight limit on these? I'm around 6'0 275 Ib. Will this hold me?

[@fredgreatorex]

Dude, thanks for the video, I've just topped 120 miles on my XR, and your video helped push myself through the first (really tough) 20 miles.

[@MANSHED]

Fred Greatorex that’s awesome!! So glad you pushed past the first 20! :)

[@1woman1wheel]

This should be requires viewing for all new riders. I’m glad to see you found the right shoes and wore safety gear and were riding around 11mph while you were still learning - those are some top common newbie errors! I think your explanation of the shapings falls a little short, but I can totally see why your experience with delirium is what it is due to your height and weight. All the bigger riders were saying the same thing when that shaping was introduced last summer. Overall great vid, peace out and float on!

[@c0pyimitati0n]

When I get off my board I come to a stop and then jump off with one foot on one side of the board and the other foot on the other side. (Criss cross) It makes for an easy, and soft, dismount.

[@error.418]

just lift your front heel and it disables, no need to jump

[@gladystvuae]

Awesome..wish i could experience that..but am so scared.

[@victorzurdo6516]

wear skater shoes for skating... not running shoes or sandals.... nice tip

[@kinggeorges5491]

Wow! Such an in depth and very helpful video! Amazing job. I'm thinking of getting one for sure now! Thank you!

[@MANSHED]

King Georges You’re welcome!!

[@Jonathan-L]

A question Michael: What's that big grey gadget mounted on the wall behind your car?

[@noahmijo]

That’s probably a car charger he probably has an electric car

[@davidblomdahl5518]

Does anyone else feel like this is a car commercial with a one wheel in the background?

[@scottbregar3983]

great video man! im in my early 40's with little experience im glad im not the only one thinking about one haha!

[@MANSHED]

Thank you! Yes, its a blast...get out there and ride!

[@DerekWC]

6'7 245lbs + corvette = impractical #yellowFerrariIsNext

[@MichaelRada-INDUSTRY50]

Try EUC, you may like it even more. If you need advice which one, can advice. Have 20K on my wheels. I tested and rode One Wheel as well (original + many copies) but stay with EUC for it is much more efficeint.

[@JesterOTL]

I completely agree. Hop on a King Song, Gotway, Inmotion or Segway. I’m on a KS16S, cruise along at 20MPH and I bought it for my 50th birthday. This guy would do a lot better on a King Song 18XL-that’s my next wheel so I can cruise at 25 MPH and sprint when I need to as well as go 70+ miles :)

[@howiedune3099]

Yeah if you are novice then please be careful. If you have beens skating for a long time. You will pick this up easy.

[@johnknouse8846]

Thank you! I’m 6’4”” 225 and I’ve been wondering if it’ll hold me. Guess so!

[@MANSHED]

John Knouse yes it will. :) Get the XR though as it has a stronger motor. That’s what I have now and it makes a big difference with our size/weight.

[@Ringerrr]

So right about Delirium & what a difference choice of footwear will make to your comfort & control - thanks for the insights

[@DetectiveStablerSVU]

Nice vette

[@MANSHED]

Sean T thanks 🙏

[@Flyingpapaya]

I'd recommend getting a helmet with a built in visor, I've got a Bern and the visor saved a majority of my face when I ate pavement at 20MPH.

[@davidtreichel7527]

Michael, it’s been a couple months since your original post. Still riding the onewheel? Thinking about pre-ordering the latest model with extended range. I’ll be riding here in OV and down in RP when the tides out...

[@MANSHED]

David Treichel yes, almost everyday. Some days I just hop on it and work from my iphone when skating around my property. There almost something subconsciously calming and focusing about it. Lol I have the XR on the way also and plan to do another video on it when it gets here later this month. :) Get one! :)

[@davidtreichel7527]

do you want to sell your old one for a few hundred bucks???

[@UrbanAnywhere]

45+ years old and bought one last year. Good points you had. If you want to learn the fast stop by taking your front foot off, try that on grass. Makes it easier but good tips. All true. I stopped using running shoes and wear my Classic Converse chucks. Reminds me of Ice skating in that my feet were dying for the first few months until they got stronger.

[@MANSHED]

Yea, absolutely. Way better now since I’ve gotten used to it for sure.

[@TonyTone84]

I cant be the only one to think this, but you really look like a B movie version of Ryan Reynolds lol

[@FloridaManConstruction]

I’m 52 and fixin to get one. Appreciate your info!

[@chasefrost9800]

Can we get a year later review ?

[@MANSHED]

Chase Frost great idea. Will do. :)

[@chasefrost9800]

@@MANSHED I'd like to hear if your opinion has changed or improved. Also i think it'll be good to see what kind of shape it's in after a year of riding. Thanks dude 🤙
