Pads, Do You Wear Them? Onewheel Rider Perspective

[@alanbell5236]

Great topic! I've noticed you don't wear pads in the videos I've seen and I admire your bravery. I just don't like road-rash. So I wear elbow pads and wrist-guard gloves. And a helmet. My GT used to stall out all the time and I'd fall off the front. The first time I went into the grass to get by someone on the sidewalk - the GT stalled and threw me. It's even stalled when I start too aggressively. I'm past 1,500 miles now and at about 1,200 miles I upgraded my GT motor to a GTS motor and haven't fallen since. You're a much better rider than me and it's fun watching you. Thanks for the videos.

Thanks man, really appreciate the comment. You just never know what's gonna happen so being prepared for any outcome, is key. Hopefully this vid helps me find pads that I like, but also protect. Stay safe! 🤙🏾

You're a chill dude keep doing what you do!

[@RoderickWortham]

Thanks man!

I feel like you ride how you ride. I’m just surprised how you do it with such speed and confidence.

[@RoderickWortham]

Yea I've definitely taken my lumps, but came out a better rider for it. Thanks for the comment bro!

we gotta keep normalizin lettin ppl do what they do on these devices w/o all the unsolicited advisement 🤙🏾 i wear cool (Dainese) gear & full-face so I'm always lookin forward to rockin em

[@RoderickWortham]

LOL. People get nervous seeing me without gear.

[@Kay0Bot]

helmets and wrist guards are always good. I guess it depends on your job and health insurance how geared you are.

[@RoderickWortham]

That is a good point. If I were a construction worker, then maybe I wouldn't be so cavalier about my riding habits. I'm on a computer all day. as long as my fingers work....😂🤙🏾

[@c.daubz.5386]

Keep enjoying your ride 👍👍

[@RoderickWortham]

Thanks, will do!

[@dalemartin6063]

Enjoyed the video

[@RoderickWortham]

Thx!

[@thomasturner8759]

I wear all my pads except for my wrist guards only because i like the idea if i fall i can stop and not keep going lol

[@RoderickWortham]

LMAO! That's the best reason I've heard so far😂

You need to learn to fall properly. I’ve done Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for 15yrs and never hurt a shoulder falling. At most it’s a few scrapes, that’s it! But when I’m racing, I’m geared up to the tits! 😂

>.< Thanks for the correction bro! I know how much that means to you, and me as well (True Patriot). Still learning the city I absolutely love.

Helmet. Everything else you can deal with. Brain Injuries will radically change your life.

[@RoderickWortham]

Absolutely
