This is NOT How You Start A Onewheel Race

[@slickrock1371]

The spill in the beginning made for an exciting video of the comeback.

[@nicoaleman]

For sure, I'm honestly glad it played out how it did, made for a ton of fun hahaha

[@nicoaleman]

Still can't believe I pulled away from this one with the place that I did! Was awesome to ride a bit with nearly everyone on my way up the standings as well haha. Gotta love the Excursion Race, it's like a massive group ride 🤘🔥

[@loaffette3860]

I heard the beeping from your board and saw your duty cycle meter hit 95 and I just though "yep, hes wiping out" You've got balls for doing that, though! I wouldn't even dare push my board past 70 percent duty

[@nicoaleman]

@@loaffette3860 That beeping was actually Austen Silva right next to me haha, he was pushing me for that holeshot! I just got too greedy 😅

[@SeanPaulNotTheSinger]

The perseverance from being in first, then last, not able to find the board and working back to inside the top ten, all while giving positive feedback and trail advice... 🎉 outstanding. You're an inspiration Nico.

[@KDelta2]

Love you with th TFL boys. Keep rippin'. Love to see some content on your riding style and board you were on in the race.

[@bsd103]

when you eat it going so fast your board is in another zipcode and you have to call out for it lol

[@ucdwino]

Love the positivity throughout, the sportsmanship and the insane riding.. well done

[@AdiusOmega]

Nico is a goddamn maniac on that thing. From last to 6th place.

[@ahennen69]

That was a long race! You are a class act, @nicoaleman! Calling out obstacles and turns, and encouraging your fellow competitors all while making a huge comeback off a gnarly fall! "C'mon, what is this? A taco tuesday ride!"

[@freerideziege6047]

@1:14 That phone is dead 🤣

[@jinkiescoob]

Nico... epic... amazing, thrilling video as Nico claws his way back after starting last! Wow... props.

[@StraitJacketRC]

What a RIP! Nicely done sir!

[@JoeyBalocca]

Not how you start but THATS how you RIDE. Crazy race!

[@lm7512]

Truly impressive riding...Nico's a wild man!

[@Forti-inc]

Nico that gnarly fall and amazing comeback.

[@joejones6579]

Incredible nico!!! The sounds at 28:53 are hilarious

[@daveoluna5620]

Love your attitude Nico. Happy for you

[@frankcabacungan8421]

What sportsmanship, and a great example of a fun member of the community!

[@denischuiko3901]

What a ride! 30 min on so raw terrain..Uff ...this is huge!

[@Prausfiction]

This clip looks super cool. I felt like I was riding along with you guys. Hopefully one of these days I could join you guys in a similar event. Meanwhile keep shredding and try not to damage your selves!

[@deanaoxo]

Nico, you a monster dude~!~ That ride was better than coffee, holy chit mang, I was on the edge the whole ride, and that start, I thought someone took your board by mistake at the start, but man oh man, those passes, and your coaching everyone, I was like, focus focus, but daaaaaaaaaamn, dat was some awesome riding. One of the best vids, ever~!~

[@loveassarson4615]

That was so immersive! After the video I had to blink and realize I’m not nico anymore.

[@Sasukesdojo]

Nico you are a genius and a madman on that thing! Not that I could ever go that fast, but you make me want to get out there and push it some more

[@fixmypev]

That was EPIC! And that Taco Tuesday shoutout was great. Haha. Congrats on climbing back after that wipeout. 🤙🏼⚡️💯

[@husamui]

So sick!! Float Pack!! 🔥

[@hoosier_dad]

That was awesome. Keep the vids coming lol

[@devilsspark79]

That was insane Nico well done dude!

[@leeweber85]

Damn Nico! You were cookin!

[@gianduong4397]

that was an insane race from start to finish!

[@bustergb13]

Nice recover, you're a beast!

[@edinspiegel]

I love this!

[@realsupercopter]

Amazing! I was on the edge the whole race!

[@breezeey9113]

What a great race Nico, great ending and sportsmanship. May I ask why you decide not to race on the THOR Vow System Float Life board with trail pro 2? Is it because personal preference? That board did 43.2 mph or 69 .5kmh top speed with top duty cycle.

[@nicoaleman]

The start of the race is dramatic and it really helps to get the holeshot if you can keep pace on the trail, but it's far from the most important aspect of the race. My performance is a good example of that considering I started in last and managed to work up to 6th place haha. So it makes the most sense to run the board you're fastest and most comfortable on for the 7 miles of trails following the holeshot. The VOW was still setup with low riders which don't have enough clearance to be great for aggressive trail racing, and I don't have any GT-compatible Control Freaks setup (my preferred footholds). If I had backed off a tad, I still would've entered the trails first on my personal board, I just got too greedy haha.

[@breezeey9113]

@@nicoaleman Thank you for the reply Nico, great race and I think you did a miraculous job on the race.

Nico is the 🐐

[@Taiterdgolf]

Ouchhhhhhhh rough a$$ start!! Lil aggressive!! Love it tho!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@elletoot]

the OH NO that came from me when nico fell was borderline embarrasing lmao

[@DoctorBendOver]

that was awesome

[@huff_designs]

nico almost became roadkill 😵

[@HazedHoonigan]

It looked like he got hit with that board pretty good after the fall. I bet that hurt the day after

[@nicoaleman]

​@HazedHoonigan He actually barely swerved around me (like, within an inch haha) and bailed as a result, so lucky 🙏 I was totally unscathed, jersey got torn up a bit but no road rash or anything! Would've been back in it sooner if I could've found my board 🤣

[@gergosnoo]

insane video, I hate gnarly dh section I was focusing in Nico going down then my son drop a toy and I almost shit myself :D

[@numbsla]

What was that button remote you were holding? Something for VESC? Sick Skillz!

[@nicoaleman]

A remote for Remote Tilt! BKB Voyager Remote technically. With VESC-based boards, you can use a remote to control the tilt of the board in real time separate from my body movements, allowing me to do things like accelerate while raising the nose, clear my tail before downhills, and stiffen my board up as needed 👌 The extra control is a game changer for me, so much fun

[@monyx1101]

30mins someone else riding....ima glued to screen whole 30mins

[@tylerdavis2307]

that poor phone! then you run it over! 🤣

[@nicoaleman]

😂 Had no idea in the moment but noticed it right away looking through the footage and apologized to Les immediately lmao

[@travisharvey4439]

25mins in says 'legs are toast already ' 😂 already? I ride hard on hard trails for long periods and 25 mins is Hella tiring

[@gergosnoo]

9:34 😹

[@uhjyuff2095]

Holding 95 percent on the start!

[@nicoaleman]

95% is actually max too, so I was holding that tipping point for a solid second before I dived 😅

[@uhjyuff2095]

@@nicoaleman when I saw other people's videos I assumed your board malfunction but now I know what actually happened. Thanks for showing the logs and data.

[@TheDroneNerd]

Are they all different boards ?

[@nicoaleman]

Open race, run what you brung! Variety of GT, GT S-Series, and VESC-based boards

[@TheDroneNerd]

@@nicoaleman Cool!! I wish a race like this happens in Florida, y’all had a blast !

[@farah-5538]

Nico, what would it cost me to send a replica of your board to me ? 🤞

[@drinkycrow705]

I can see myself!

[@wayofflow955]

Mad come back man, maybe next time start at the middle of the pack you would win the race! Any one running the thor300 and 12” tire?

[@nicoaleman]

No Burris 12x8's in the core racing scene, at least not yet! Plenty of BTG's tho, just Burris 11.5x7's

[@noma_es_sebas]

who’s onewheel was skipping st the end? god damn that’s a lotta power

[@Nakovcs]

2:00 Floaty froze? 😂

[@nicoaleman]

Floaty actually froze once I hit around 30mph at the start 😂 Also had Metr running as backup logs, and it recorded the whole ride, but the time is skewed throughout for some reason so there's no good way to time sync the data. No idea why, bit unfortunate that both logs failed 🥲

[@FurryNonsense]

I split my elbow open because my board dumped me for a 2nd time Stay safe out there boys

[@permawheelie]

We started at the (45th) now we (6th)

[@nicoaleman]

😤🗣🎤

[@EdwardCoplinBatman]

This video woul have been so boring if Nico was 1/45 the whole time.

[@nicoaleman]

It really worked out in the end! 🤘

[@ByronRadstyle]

I'm faster than all of you. I ride the buzz as my average speed.

[@nicoaleman]

Come out to a race and let's see it! If you're truly faster, you can turn a profit by taking home some cash prizes 😉🫡

[@ByronRadstyle]

@nicoaleman I would love to. I'm sure you guys are great. Where are these races located and what are the qualifications.

[@vesconewheel]

Homie needs more cells in his board. Absolutely amazed you weren't hurt more, lets let the luck continue 🫣✨
