The Float Life Drop Top Fender Kit Review. The Best Fender for the Onewheel Pint!

[@gettingtheshot]

Great job on the video dude, great production! We’re really stoked you’re enjoying the fender! Maybe one day a Pink one will show up😜🤙⚡️

[@MattYamamoto100]

Yo! Thanks Bodhi! I'd love to work with you some time. A pink one would be dooope!

[@MattYamamoto100]

Hey guys! I'm totally obsessed with this fender right now. I hope you like the video...I put a lot of work into it!!

[@robertjeffery9348]

Been trying to find the right fender for months now (I'm a picky engineer). I ran across this video and immediately fell in love with it. I'm now officially on a fender strike until it is back up for sale. FREE THE DROP TOP!

[@MattYamamoto100]

I’m a picky engineer too lol. Yeah man...it totally sucks that the Drop Top has been pulled. It truly is the best fender right now. Thanks for watching!

[@GeeForceQ17]

I'm late to the party as usual, but thanks for not taking this video down. This is THE fender I want if Float Life can start selling them again. Thank you for introducing me to it! Great videos btw.

[@MattYamamoto100]

Thanks!

[@Reiz027]

so goooood! I want to this fender!

[@Siberius-]

That does have a cool look to it... looks like a cool sleek cruiser motorcycle fender.

[@Anzyanz]

I LOVE this fender. I've never cared for any of the existing fenders on the market, but this one was PERFECT in my opinion. I'm so sad FM came in with that C&D. I was so stoked to get this, and watching your video makes me want it even more. Dammit FM :(

[@MattYamamoto100]

I know...such a bummer. I hope FM realizes that these small businesses can only help the community grow. Can you imagine a car industry where third parties couldn’t make upgraded parts?? That would suck so bad. Thanks for watching! Hopefully this all gets resolved soon!

[@doodle3986]

Back in stock, bought inmediatly mine

[@MattYamamoto100]

Oh really?! I didn't know that. Thanks for the update!

[@coldog1000]

Just grabbed one off their site! Can't wait to rock it

Yo thanks dude! Love seeing your vids on IG!

[@ShadowGhostFloats]

@@MattYamamoto100 Aye!! Thanks for watching. 🤙😎

[@torque.tornado]

When I saw the video from this when TFL launched it it’s just what I wanted. Such a great product and it really sucks the FM made TFL pull it but luckily living in the UK I can still get it from TFL Europe. Ordered and incoming soon. May also do a video on upgrading my Pint with it. Great job dude!

[@MattYamamoto100]

Oh awesome! Didn’t know that you could still get it in the UK. That’s a great option. Maybe some UK peeps can put some Drop Tops on eBay to help out the US folks. 😊

[@ScotMendenhall]

great job on the vid.

[@MattYamamoto100]

Thanks dude! I’ve been watching your channel for a while man and I love your content. If you’re ever out in Cali, let’s collab!

[@terrellloeppky]

Awesome video! Only criticism I have is the music and voice are not always balanced that well. I loved the review, great job!

[@MattYamamoto100]

Hey dude, I appreciate the feedback. I normalize the voice (compressed and limited) and music to -6dBFS, but they have such different crest factors...that they sound different. I’ll keep a closer eye on it in the future. Thanks for watching!

[@terrellloeppky]

Love to hear it, I really like making videos about my pint as well, and I’ve done the same thing. Keep up the good work!

[@arnaudperret-gentil3878]

Nice job Matt!

[@MattYamamoto100]

haha. thanks dude!

[@CryptoslavMiner]

How do you like the color? Any plans on customizing the fender, painting, or sticker bombing maybe?

[@MattYamamoto100]

I'm torn. I like the black because it looks like the tire, even when the fender is attached...but I really want pink. haha. I'll probably buy the pink one when it comes out and play around with mixing them up....and I'll for sure drop some stickers on here

[@Jeff-vw4rm]

This product is no longer available on there website. Wonder why? It looks amazing. :(

[@CryptoslavMiner]

Thanks for the review! Interesting and cool looking as always! I still wonder how much the lips of the delete help keeping the debris from your back foot though.

[@MattYamamoto100]

Not sure yet. I'll probably do a 100 mile follow up. =) Thanks for watching!

[@CryptoslavMiner]

@@MattYamamoto100 That would be great!

[@AmyDecaroArtist]

Oh no! You totally just lost the sweet look of your old school Tony Hawk style board! 😭 Lol! j/k 😆 So, can I please buy your pink C&R magnetic fender off of you now?? I’ve REALLY been wanting that C&R pink fender for my pint since I’m going for an 80’s look. 👌🏻😎💕I really do hope that they come out with a hot pink drop top fender like this. Looks sooo nice & sleek!!! Great video! 👍🏻

[@MattYamamoto100]

I know! Lol. They are coming out with a pink one

[@phykuh1]

Just ordered mine!

Is this still available in their website since I just checked it and I did not see this available :(

does this work with other tires? or just the vega? why not paint it?

[@OcculiMortis]

I have the C&R magnetic fender for my XR. But I REALLY want to get this drop top fender for my pint.

[@MattYamamoto100]

The C&R is a great fender, but you’ll LOVE this fender for your Pint! It’s awesome. Thanks for watching!

[@umpa916]

I was told that drop top fender for the XR is in the works!

[@JacksonNotJaxon]

I love how your shoes match the board lol.

[@MattYamamoto100]

lol. Not on purpose. I guess I just love pops of pink. haha

[@legolasgleaf]

Looks nice, but what about with other tires... like threaded...

[@MattYamamoto100]

Definitely want to try a treaded tire when the Vega is worn out

[@nsxlai2000]

I couldn’t find the drop top fender on the float life website anymore (12/08/2020)??

[@MattYamamoto100]

Hey Ray. Yeah man...unfortunately, Future Motion hit The Float Life with a C&D, so they had to pull the fender down. I thought about pulling the video, but I decided that I want the Onewheel community to know what’s going on. Sorry for the disappointment. Thanks for watching! Hopefully everything gets resolved soon and TFL can start selling the fender again. 🤞🏻

[@MattYamamoto100]

Hmm...weird. Yeah, I just checked and don’t see it. I’ll try to reach out to them to see what’s up. I know that they’re in the middle of a big move...so maybe that’s messing with their workflow??

[@MattYamamoto100]

It’s definitely been released though. I didn’t get any special hookup. I just went to the website and bought it. Good luck! I’ll comment back here if I hear from them. Thanks for watching!

[@AmyDecaroArtist]

The Float Life just posted on someone’s Facebook comment today (9 hours ago) that this item is no longer for sale anymore!!! 😥😭💔💔💔💔 They aren’t saying why. So, at this point watching this video of it is only torture since I was going to buy this for my future Pint that I’m getting for Christmas. 😔

[@AmyDecaroArtist]

@@MattYamamoto100 Oh that sucks!! I don’t understand why since it’s nothing like their fender. :( I hope that everything turns out okay for The Float Life and wishing they might still be able to release it back again in the near future. 🤞🏻😎

[@sliqindustries4782]

I new to the one wheel, I get my pint tomorrow but I’ve been researching them for a while as I plan to mod it. It’s really annoying that future motion tries to fight the community, I know they invented it but it’s not perfect and it’s sad that they won’t allow others to improve on their product platform. I originally started with electric skateboards and there is way more resources for the diy’r I wish it was the same here. Awesome vid wish I had been a little earlier so I could have ordered one that is definitely the best looking fender

[@MattYamamoto100]

I totally agree with you. It’s not good for the community if they shut down all the companies that are trying to help grow the Onewheel community. Can you imagine if the car industry was like this, and you could only buy parts from the factory...

[@ericpho4060]

@@MattYamamoto100 I'm wondering how many lucky people like you did get the chance to order one before they were forced to take it out from sale.... you seem to be the only one who has posted a review on this (great) product on KZbin. I was desperately hoping to get one in the future for the XR as well. Btw, did FM try to contact you ? I'm quite surprised, FM didn't prevent the other actors of the industry like C&R & TFL from selling third party accessories so far, so I would be curious to know the reason of this C&D : is this because FM is about to release a similar product that they managed to patent the concept before ? is it even patentable ? or maybe there was a leak internally in FM for a potential future product and TFL was the recipient of this so they could release it before.... maybe I'm just thinking too much haha

@@MattYamamoto100 ouch that sucks!

[@sdmods619]

Honestly not sure about this one. I paid extra to have the drop top fender imported from Canada and noticed a slight manufacturing error that causes tiny pebbles to get stuck in a small gap under the LED and footpad. Others have confirmed this. Did TFL just mass produce a bunch of these and realized they can't sell them and lie about FM cease and decist? Do Canadians just not care? "This is fine A". I dremeled it slightly thinking I could fix it but now it just leaks water from the LED area 😆 😞

[@MattYamamoto100]

Sorry to hear about the issues you've been having. I haven't seen this myself. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm guessing that FM's patents are for US...therefore they issued the C&D in the US.

[@MattYamamoto100]

the delete is dope. but IMO the fender isn't oversized at all....it's actually as small as it could be while providing enough clearance for different tires. Thanks for watching!

[@TheCobaltsaber]

I think it looks oversized because the sides come down more than the other fenders out there. The top clearance has to be similar to allow space for the tire
