Onewheel XR Winter Ride - SO COLD

[@imabud1203]

I've been in this situation before. That feeling when you're on your board and someone tries to intimidate you by screaming out pointless banter. It's like a bolt of energy, a bloodrush straight to the brain that fuels our desire to shred. It honestly wouldn't be a perfect ride without the haters. I live and preach Penny Australia's motto; that anyone can skate. Cheers, thanks for the vid!

[@PlankerBrothers]

One of my first couple times riding I was in a park and this group of people about my age (27ish) all get out of their car and the raggety looking one of the group said something probably snarky to me as I passed by, I looked him dead in the eyes and said what’s that? Because I didn’t hear it. And he just smiled and wouldn’t repeat it. Just that pathetic bully that never left his hometown trying to look cool in front of his friends. Wish he would’ve had the balls to say it to my face when confronted

[@freshlycharged]

He's baaaaak! Love the jump mount on to the Onewheel!

[@slydogstroh]

It’s like flipping a switch! Locking in every time.

Great cold weather riding. I been riding in the 20’s here in Jersey. That is cold when you are moving at 15 mph. I could just imagine how cold that ride was/is. Keep freeze floating.

[@FrostElement]

Incredible ride. Thank you for sharing.

[@slydogstroh]

Nice!! I almost didn’t post this one after the original song was blocked on copyright. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@anonymousastronaut]

Incredible riding at 19:00. Thanks for the content. Watching your ride through the city with such confidence on the XR makes me wonder if you believe you'd have the same confidence doing the same riding on a Pint; do you have a thought on that; watching your feet vs the feet of Pint riders is strikingly different. Then I wonder if those foot slot things on a Pint would allow one to rip with more confidence on that board since I've never seen those foot slot things on a Pint, yet.

[@slydogstroh]

Well lucky for you I have a pint and will definitely be posting errand running videos soon. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@anonymousastronaut]

@@slydogstroh Fantastic; can't wait. I'll be curious to see how your feet interact with the board on the Pint. From other riders, who likely have less experience than you, the board seems to ride more unpredictably over uneven terrain. Like, if you were to take the Pint to those Colorado trails, how much more taxing would that ride have been on the Pint vs the XR... Obviously distance and speed are considerations, when comparing the two, but I'm putting those two considerations aside and focusing on rideability / maneuverability / comfort. I would also love to learn more about those things that lock your feet to the board. Seems like with those installed one could jump curbs with ease and generally control the board better when going over bumpy terrain, if athletic and balanced; is that fair to say? Do you prefer riding with or without them, and the fender?

[@pipelinesalvatoregiordano4954]

You sir are a mad man. I just got my first one wheel, have you ever been hit by a car?

[@slydogstroh]

I have once yea. I was in the bike lane and had the right of way (this was in wrigleyville right near the Cubs stadium) and the guy turned left on a green light and hit me. His tire was actually on top on the Onewheel and had to back up so I could remove it. Anyway, my helmet shattered his windshield and I ended up letting the guy go without calling the cops since I wasn’t hurt or anything. Got lucky forsure.

[@roywlogan]

One day I'll own a onewheel. I get a kick out of posting a public record of all the lights you run lol

[@JakSke11ington]

I live in Humboldt and commute to west loop for work. Have been thinking about getting one but I'm afraid the ride might be a little too long everyday

[@brockclouser1500]

Perhaps a new boosted board video could be uploaded sometime soon? 🙏

[@chuckwalters4759]

I got that exact electric vest! Now all i need is a OW!

[@seankelly5318]

11 degrees Fahrenheit!! Shit! That's -11.666 degrees centigrade. And riding like it's a summers day! Hope you're well Bro.

[@rick_r2]

I know I have said this before but, “you’re crazy!” LOL

[@daniamsalem]

Hey Sly, dope video makes me wanna hop on my board this cold NYC morning. Got a question, your board setup doesn’t describe any Badger Wheel accessories. Have you modded your OneWheel at all for water resistance?

[@renevega5226]

Float on bro! Saw this and I HAD to go for another ride #WeOutHere lol 😱when I realized how much the wind chill had to suck to film this

[@c0pyimitati0n]

Salt and slush are the worst! Since Ohio is a bit warmer than Chicago, our winters are typically wet af 😑 Stay warm today man!

how was the battery degradation during this cold weather in Chicago? do you still own the Onewheel?

[@AG.Floats]

Haha here in Sac I complain when it's 50 degrees

[@popeye7833]

With that cold the battery never lose power to give you nose diving ?

[@hinterlight]

Regarding the salt slush, have you seen any corrosion on the board so far? Or do you rinse it off every day? Also, how does the flightfins fender compare to a regular fender for keeping your feet dry? They do seem pretty neat for getting rid of buildup quick.

[@AlexLepoutre]

Pure insanity. Bravo 👏 😂 How are you liking those Nikes compared to Vans? I tried some Nike SB Dunk Pro Highs but they were way too stiff and uncomfortable.

[@slydogstroh]

Alex Lepoutre haha you think this was crazy? Here I’m stone cold sober first thing in the morning. Just wait for my next video! xD. Yea these Dunks aren’t the coolest looking or most comfortable but they’re high quality and will last the winter.

[@sonicx9864]

How many miles does the XR last you out there in those temps? Awesome vid btw!!

[@slydogstroh]

SonicX98 Like 8-9 miles. So close to half the range I normally get. It’s still plenty of range for me though.

[@jeckart3d]

slydogstroh me too and I’m 6’2” 260 lbs. also nice to see that I’m not the only one who likes a polar bear ride. It’s been pretty cold here in NY the past few days. I like the ride because there aren’t any cyclists on the road.

@@slydogstroh makes sense since you took the effort to clean off the board at the end of your ride

[@lambeaupackman]

[@bodegaboylex]

How many miles does your board have?

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

I live in QC, Canada, the Winters are harsh and 3-4 months. I would like to use it in the Winter too, but am concerned about the salt and don't see myself rinsing this all the time. I don't have to ride on wet Winter days to avoid that but there will always be some salt on the road no matter what and then bringing it indoors can activate that. How has yours been? Do you rinse it all the time?

[@thomasnguyen5295]

Wondering what the hit to the battery is when you float in the Winter? Do you feel there is a significant loss of mileage?

[@VacheManoukian]

How much is a tire replacement and how often do u need one?

Anywhere from 30 to 120 bucks depending on what wheel you go for. A good tire should last 2000 miles easy.

[@sharifibrahim6389]

[@MSTechie]

Another comment, I see places like where u live (Chicago?) and NY have roads reserved for buses and bikes, yet there are cars constantly driving in them. Is that considered breaking the law? I know they appear to double as a turning lane but still

[@slydogstroh]

EasyTech Preach!! Haha.

[@cgibbs154]

With the Hoosier 6 treaded, did you have to modify for the fit?

[@slydogstroh]

cgibbs154 nope! Ready to slap on there. It’s a REaLLY nice tire. I’ve also heard good things about Burris.

[@GitDatPC]

I thought 20:55 was a nosedive 😳 Phew

[@mushaa2]

How fast are you usually going? this looks close to the top speed of 20mph

[@slydogstroh]

mushaa2 Low 20’s. I can touch 25. I just bought an insta360 and plan on using the gps overlay so you can see, but there are plenty of my vids out now where I ride with boosted boards and other boards at similar speeds.

[@mushaa2]

Impressive, I took a nosedive the other day when I was around 20 and I wasn't prepared for a bump in the road, so I have been taking it down to around 15 the last few days. I love your videos so please keep them up. Is there any mode you prefer? I see that most of your videos is in mission, but in colder weather you have been using customs. Do you ever ride in delerium?

[@slydogstroh]

mushaa2 Yikes! Yea my worst falls have been hitting a bump or pothole I didn’t see. You’ll get confidence back over time though. Gotta be vigilant with looking for obstacles, when you see them coming you can avoid or bend your knees and roll through. I sometimes roll over potholes for fun lol.

[@jpeterreins1847]

You notice a hit in battery life like I do with my XR?

You're not kidding, long johns will save your whole day/night. I wear them when I know it's going to be a cold one and i'm always the warmest and most comfortable of my friends. They always ask how i'm enduring the cold so well...that's the secret. long johns. haha.

[@Chris-pt6hh]

Ever get angry drivers annoyed you're passing them? It's a culture difference between the north and south, but in the south people take it personally if you pass them. (aka "Culture of honor") Always surprises me just how little people seem to care there. Makes riding bikes / boards dangerous where I am (downtown dallas) because they'll often speed up and cut you off if they can just to be in front.

[@slydogstroh]

Chris Yea I get angry drivers too, they’re everywhere. I’ve had people literally try and run me over with their car on the road. Good point about “Culture of Honor” I bet that sort of thing IS worse in Dallas. Gotta be cautious, but not afraid.
