Pro Snowboarder tries Onewheel for First time!!

It's Vidsummit week and I met with a professional snowboarder and content creator Jenise Spiteri!
I thought it would be pretty interesting to see how she would do as a Onewheel 'beginner' learning to the ride the Onewheel for the first time.

Wow. She's the smoothest beginner I've ever seen. Great muscle control and ability to spread her weight very carefully over her feet... And relaxed too. Thumbs up! 👍

[@jonburgart8649]

When some of my friends and I tried it for the first we immediately took it to its limits. Its really surprising how easy it is to get a hang of. Theres a video on onewheels channel where one dude gets his 70 smth yr old granny to ride it

[@billclark8241]

They are not difficult at all. Try a Summerboard if you want a little challenge.

[@freshlycharged]

Great work, Dan! She's already better on that thing than I am. 🤣

[@SlideWreckDan]

She's putting us all to shame 😂😂

[@dustymar4341]

but where is the helmet? safety first for future videos. fell off my board last week helmet saved my head but unfortunately cracked my humeral head. 6 weeks until I can float again.

[@SlideWreckDan]

@@dustymar4341 I offer helmets. It's up to the rider to opt out though

[@Tactical_Taco]

@@dustymar4341 I don't wear a helmet. Taken 3 spills on it, but caught myself each time. Just always be ready to fall. If your reactions are fast you can catch yourself.

[@nick12586]

@@Tactical_Taco that's terrible advice lol

[@thomaskane9298]

I threw a pair of jeans out last week that were torn less. Kids today...😂😂

[@OWANONYMOUS]

Nice edit! I always emphasise "JUMP OFF WITH BOTH FEET", but most really struggle to fight their natural reaction to save the board

[@SlideWreckDan]

It just doesn't feel natural to jump off with both feet. You have to really put your mind to it!

[@douglasfox2733]

I started with snowboarding as well. The only two skills necessary for Onewheeling not provided by snowboarding experience, in my opinion, were dismounting and nosedives. The scariest outcome of this statement will be a large number of riders coming from snowboarding that feel so 100% comfortable with the onewheel that they greet the pavement with open arms

[@billclark8241]

Exactly why I haven't and won't buy a one wheel. Nosedives don't tickle. Have been snowboarding since before it was allowed on ski slopes (1970's) and have yet to experience a snowboard abruptly stopping because I'm "too comfortable" on it.

[@thirtythreeeyes8624]

This is why skating and/or longboarding experience helps too. Asphalt requires a different level of respect and hitting a pebble that locks a wheel is very similar to a nose dive except even more abrupt in throwing you from the board they've made me front flip before haha!

[@lilafromyoutube]

I WANT A ONEWHEEEEEEELLLLL!!!! love how you edited this vid using the two cameras! Gabe is a champ on those skates!

[@SlideWreckDan]

Yooo Gabe on that free skates and filming. Mad skills.

[@SlideWreckDan]

@@PutingPinoy *oof* 15 hours. That's a really long layover haha

[@RicardoMontee]

Jenise is so impressive for her first time.

[@BensonWongs]

I just started as well on the onewheel and only have 2 rides on it over 1 day. I found that the self-balancing doesn't kick in if you are going too slow. When she was talking about the OW not stabilizing laterally when she gets too far to the edge, or she doesn't feel like she can turn hard on her toes/heels, it's because she's going too slow. If you simply told her that the stabilizing kicks in at higher speeds (like more than 1-2 mph), and that she needs to go faster, I think she would've been absolutely shredding on this thing from the get-go.

[@SlideWreckDan]

Self balancing is always active as long as the motor is kicked in. However the heel to toe balancing is done by the rider. It's easier to balance that with speed much like a bicycle. The Onewheel does not do any heel to toe balancing for you.

[@ConnorEckdahl]

She picked that up really quick! Turning was hardest for me to grasp. And she got it right away! Haha. Come to Chicago again soon plz!!! 🙌🏼

[@SlideWreckDan]

I really want to do a travel collab!! Got the itch haha

[@claughlin]

You really ought to have offered her a helmet and wrist-guards, no matter how much experience she has on a snowboard. Also, the first thing I would have taught her is how to jump off safely. That first dismount, with the front foot still on the board, could have ended up very badly.

[@SlideWreckDan]

I always do offer helmets. But the rider can choose to opt out. I did talk about dismount procedures and jumping off the board. A lot of the longer portion of that has been edited out to keep the narrative of the video going. It's just unintuitive to jump off so even with practice people may miss that.

[@claughlin]

Good man. Thanks for having done so, and thanks as well for the reply.

[@SlideWreckDan]

@@claughlin Thanks for watching!

How do you only have 881 subs? Your editing is pro-level. Good intro.

[@fearceigknighter]

You should've taught her on the pint! They're a bit more wobbly 🤣

[@TheAlibabatree]

Hell yeah. Im a lifelong skater and i prefer the Pint because of its maneuverability.

[@SlideWreckDan]

There's some aftermarket tires you can get for the XR and it's like riding on rails! Too carvey for me but some people love it

[@TheAlibabatree]

@@SlideWreckDan Thats cool, but 99.9% of the worlds population cant afford to spend 2k on an eboard, plus a new tire. Out of the box, the Pint is a much, much better deal. The only downside is the range.

[@MichaelSuperbacker]

Jenise is a natural!

[@562mjohnson]

I just bought a pint last night for the wifey. My XR should be here tomorrow. Haven't even been on one yet. Shipping is taking a little longer so I had to pull the trigger on the pint. Can't wait!

[@AdventureMuse]

One wheel sales are going up after Vidsummit! Great video, Dan!

[@SlideWreckDan]

Hahaha! Thanks! It was really fun collabing with everyone!

[@GGCustomArt]

she looks baked. thats the adrenaline high, haha

[@AuRowe]

Im a surfer and just got a onewheel a week ago, metup with my snowbird friend who rides around on his and he kept saying how similar to snowboarding in powder (distinctly not like surfing, but a little similar). This toy made me sell all my other PEV’s

[@SlideWreckDan]

Oh that's awesome. I've been curious from a surfer's perspective. Definitely seems like it's more similar to a snowboard.

[@GabrielLopez-ts6ou]

Watching people ride for the first time is one of the perks of letting people ride your one wheel 😜

It's a great first date activity because now you have an excuse to hold her hand 😂 I may or may not have done this before 😂😂

How have you been Dan!? That’s so cool you met Jenise! I have been watching her channel for a few years now.

[@SlideWreckDan]

Oh wow that's pretty cool! Been busy man 😅 Hope you're doing well

[@MichaelSuperbacker]

Is KZbin coming to an end? I’m scared about hearing of $42,000 fines. Have you heard anything?

[@MichaelSuperbacker]

Random question. Have you ever wiped out on the One Wheel? Just asking because Casey Neistat fell off a one wheel and broke his collarbone.

[@SlideWreckDan]

@@MichaelSuperbacker Huh. Was that recent? I have fallen on the board a few times, but nothing serious. I don't push it very far beyond it's limit so most of my falls were in low speeds. When you push the pushback in highspeed is when it starts to get sketchy. As long as you ride safe, you're generally fine.

[@SlideWreckDan]

@@MichaelSuperbacker The regulation guidelines are pretty vague. The only real 'safe' way is to hit children friendly content and take the hit on your channel or list your channel as an 'non-children targeted content' and hope you don't get flagged. Most likely someone is going to be a victim of this and take a court case to settle the vagueness of the guidelines. It just really sucks.

[@Demonpixyb]

Jenise! Next time you're in DC there's a huge Onewheel group and I have an extra wheel for you to ride with us!

[@cyberjimbondify]

I hope she gets paid to ride that or at least a gift card for new pants.

I asked her and she chose to opt out on PPE. Thanks for watching!

[@rylangrant2321]

(1) She seemed concerned about the turning compared to a snowboard. With more experience on the OW, she'll be able to turn harder carve more deeply. (2) So, is she going to buy one? (3) Cool pants.

I'm debating between a Mini S or a Pint (I have a V2 boosted already).... Ugh. Watching your videos is making me lean towards a Pint

I honestly do. I use the Onewheel as a filmmaking tool as much as I use it as transport and a fun vehicle. EUC can't do the things Onewheel can for filmmaking. If I had to choose a daily commuter only vehicle though, I might actually try an ebike or something.

Has to do with the stance. The closer your foot is to the wheel, the easier it will be to carve. Check out my recent 'Onewheel ride stance guide' video. I explain and try out different stances on there.
