Teach ANYONE To Onewheel In Less Than 9 Minutes! Learning With Leary - Episode 6

[@floater1063]

Very good, fully detailed video. I'm 60 years old, grandma. I bought a pint about 17 months ago. I'm just now getting comfortable simple stopping it. Its so nimble. Last week I squatted down a bit like surfers stance while preparing to slowing down. I plopped forward on my knees. My front foot managed to stay on onewheel. I had knee pads and wrist guards on. I was spinning all over the ground uncontrollably and seemed fast. I couldn't break free. All of a sudden it dragged me into my garage freezer. I heard a loud bang. Theres now a nice dent in my freezer. I'm fortunate to have been low to ground. The whole thing is funny but standing up and keeping your front foot only on sensors is a death wish. I have been extra careful in learning this device. I highly recommend listening to this guy. Don't be a fool. Wear the proper gear also.

[@RLNTLSSShredShop]

These tips are ON POINT! Same exact things I like to teach new riders. For anybody reading this, do what Jake says! You can thank him later when your collarbone is still in one piece. ☝🏼😅

And the Oscar goes to.......Elijah Soto for his role in this episode as a Onewheel newbie

[@TheFloatLife]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@GMoney-B]

Right? Lol. Acting like a newb and then he magically shoves it. XD

[@CosmicJubatus]

ahhh... that makes sense i was like: "bruh, the confidence of this guy, not feeling comfortable to ride properly, yet going for a shove it... must come from skateboarding, fo' sure"

[@jaydr0id568]

This is good information that NO ONE else is talking about. The one mile an hour heel lift thing is something I did not know. That is very useful.

[@ImmuneToKnives]

Awesome! Just like skateboarding (havent skated in 11 years), what made me gain confidence is learning how to fall. Once I learned how to fall, I wasnt afraid of it anymore.

[@Souldragon912]

just watching this i was on my board and did the heel dismount a few times. i got the hang of it so far. imma keep watching this series.

[@markthornton9800]

Clear cut and to the point. I will show this video to every person I know who wants to learn to ride a Onewheel. Love your series Jake.

[@TheFloatLife]

stoked you're digging it!!!

[@JakeLeary]

Thanks Mark!

[@CarveyKeitel]

I’m falling! I’m falling! I’m falling! Shove-it!... he had me fooled.

I Honestly think this is such a great channel.

[@TheFloatLife]

Thanks!

[@kedex4953]

BAM ! ! ! So excellent my Friend, Thank You, this is the info i've been looking for. My Onewheel arrives tomorrow and i'm so glad i found this solid intro info first. One view, new subscriber, and looking forward to learning more from You.

[@steveelliott3496]

Great tips Jake as always! Come spring and I get out of this office float I will remember these tips, man thank for taking the time to share! U are the Yoda of One Wheels Jake!! Huge shout out from Canada!!!

[@MrPatCummins]

I was teaching a friend to ride my XR last September and was attempting to demonstrate what happens if you step off the board with only one foot. I have demo'd this successfully before, but this time I wasn't on grass or slick concrete like in the video. The board took off on me (as expected) but went to the right when I expected it to take off left. Took me down pretty hard and my shoulder is still sore ~5 months later. Moral of the story, be careful not to hurt yourself trying to demonstrate what NOT to do haha.

[@TheFloatLife]

Oof, sounds brutal.

[@cosmovski]

personally ive taught about 5 or 6 people how to ride. of those people the people that learned it the quickest (by far) only held onto me to get the motor started and find initial balance before being left with their own balance only. Its brutal but deffo helps. Also with new people I recommend hip twisting rather than tilting your feet as for new people they wont have the foot strength needed to steer with feet at any kind of speed and will get super super wobbly. Just my opinion on that really, not tryin to make digs or disregard your methods. Was a fantastic video :)

[@josiah513]

Don't know why 4 people disliked this video hahaha. This channel is awesome!

[@b1gmaccombo]

This video is SOOOOOOOO HELPFUL! Your channel rocks man. I've been mastering a Skillboard all winter (here in Canada) and I picked up the One Wheel in 20 minutes. If you are going in a straight line on smooth flat ground pretty much anyone can do it but you had better have that side to side balance down if you are offroading.

[@TheFloatLife]

Stoked you're digging it!!!

[@frankcabacungan8421]

This is great. I just got my GT and friends have been wanting to try, so the tips for instruction is well appreciated

[@followdon]

This is the best beginner explainer video and I'm saying that even though I have 2 on my channel. You da man, Jake!

[@MissYouPete]

What a great video. Wish I'd of watched it a couple years ago! THIS is the one to point to for the newbies. You are an awesome teacher / video maker Jake!

[@shredman59]

Great video. Agree with everything. Recommend first learning on wide flat area of soft grass. Key....Learn to hop off with both feet. Keep your eyes on the horizon. Relax.

[@lorendjones]

Hope to see my Onewheel arrive this week! I’d hire you as my coach!

[@NavaDownSouth]

That was a really good explanation im getting a Pint S gonna send it soon. I watched the other tutorials they didnt make as much sense as to why you need the weight shift and foot sensors work.

[@phistry810]

That drop top fender on the Pint. 😍

[@luis_discovery]

Really nice tips. Thanks !

[@cspriggs96]

[@Funcentric]

Would be so cool if you had a tutorial for an EUC. Thanks for this vid.

[@MrC0rs]

The auto turn-off under 1 mph is good to know. I'm a beginner and I was trying to stop by doing a heel lift going maybe 2-3 mph.

[@BenjaminShredder]

Why is Jake so likeable? His instruction is fantastic. Going to use his video to help get my wife floating.

[@TheFloatLife]

Jake is bae

[@Pineapple-Lord]

Great video!

[@dgp8332]

Great tips! I just got a Pint X!!!

[@TheFloatLife]

Welcome!

[@oldretireddude]

Yes, thank you! Great video. I wonder about the importance of the dominant foot. We should be learning regular and switch, but I think most people if asked, would rather be facing passing traffic, more than be worried about the dominant foot forward. I'll say this but it's just a hunch. I ride dominant forward (regular), I feel like if I had learned weakest foot forward (goofy) first, learning dominant foot forward would be easier. Now I'm competent riding regular and terribly uncomfortable changing to switch and having lots of trouble with it

[@Pog_Mo_Thoin]

I like your shoes - just saying. Oh and thanks for the tips.

[@russwhite9955]

Is the balance board shown in the video available for purchase? If so, link please.

[@Mr-eGolf]

Thanks again L

[@davidn7795]

When will the Balance Board be available? I am waiting longingly for it.

[@TheFloatLife]

Early next week!

[@warrior3d27]

another interesting note is how to dismount heel when on large rocks, it’s possible to have an awkward angle and re-engage the motor.

[@JakeLeary]

If you turn the motor off and then put your weight back on both sensors, and then you move the board past a level position, it will turn on again.

[@sorry4imtroll463]

cool video!

[@TheFloatLife]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@CraigAndres]

Amazing video, very helpful 👍 Going to buy a one wheel. In your opinion should i buy the pint x or xr? I live in the uk 🇬🇧

[@aletienne5082]

What balance board are you using?

[@TheFloatLife]

TFL Balance Board

[@cdbrown30]

This might be safer than snowboarding if there is a comparison because your feet are strapped in and don’t have the possibility of jumping off the board like the onewheel. I love snowboarding btw!

[@redboyjan]

The ground is harder though lol

[@Lurch685]

Can you use a balance board JUST for ankle strength training?

Yes

What are the gray and black shoes you’re wearing?

Adidas NMD. Extremely comfy but I don't ride hard in them because they lack protection. And the black ones are NMDs too!

"Nose" if you're standing on it... Stop immediately. 🤣

[@TheFloatLife]

🤣🤣🤣

[@xoshaow3]

One other great thing to teach people who struggle with jump bails, is if you MUST remove a foot, ALWAYS use the front foot to plant on the ground around where your back foot is, making a I _ shape with left being your front foot and right being the back foot on a board. _ I for goofy riders

[@TheFloatLife]

Great tip!

[@xoshaow3]

@@TheFloatLife thanks. ☺️ It's definitely a good time when your not getting dragged along with the board.

[@christopherdiego4481]

so i didn't know I could have my front foot anywhere once I get up to speed and i'm about 250 miles in (so still a noob). the app actually warns me if I don't have my feet on both sensor pads for more than 5 seconds. Anything I should know about moving my feet around when i'm going more than 1mph?

[@yoBigWave]

Man I want a Onewheel so bad. Nervous that the little town I live in will be strict about me riding in the park or down the sidewalk and street.

[@GMoney-B]

I would think it would be the smaller towns that would be more lax. Seem like the bigger cities are more strict because there are more foolish people that do stuff that ends up turning into rules and laws for the wiser people.

[@preston_padgett]

wait what, my onewheel pint is so finicky with the front foot pad sensors and will keep blinking half blue when i ride if my foot even slightly lifts, and it has shut off at top speed because it stopped registering my foot and threw me off

[@Haverr1]

also there has to be somebody who do tricks with stepping off the board, like a very smooth 180 turn and get back on! :D

[@Zetler]

Why should I get a Onewheel vs an eskate board?

[@TheFloatLife]

Ability to handle rough terrain is probably the main reason, hands free so it becomes almost like a part of your body, the ride feel is unparalleled

[@hellothere729]

what about when your phone is connected to the onewheel app and it gives you the notification that your foot has been off one of the foot pads for more than 10 seconds?

[@TheFloatLife]

That's pretty common. Best is to just turn that notification off.

[@MrDementia]

3 rides and I still cant turn…feel like coming to the Chicago area to give lessons?
