Tips For An EUC Beginner

[@MichaelHollandOne]

Thanks for sharing again. Great video and great pointers! As you know I started with the V8s. Been riding quite a bit lately (after my injury), but still under 100 miles, just under 78. Longer riding sessions, 5 to 7 miles each time. Feeling better and better the more I ride. Turning getting a little better. Feeling a little more stable the more I ride as well. Been pushing the speed a bit too the more comfortable I feel, to my surprise I actually got the 20 mph beep and tilt back a few times yesterday. Still riding in parking lots for now but pretty big ones (nearby mega church parking lot and elementary school parking lot) with sidewalks and walking paths around the buildings where I can hone my wheel control better too. I'm going to try to stay patient to 100 miles before I take it out for a longer side walk ride around the neighborhood and eventually around town. My biggest challenge now is my left foot arch hurting and foot position. It seems (I could be wrong) that if you have a wheel with pads "perfectly positioned" it would help with consistent foot placement, is that true? I feel like I wiggle my feet around too much the first few feet of the ride after mounting to get them in decent position. Anyway, safe riding out there.

I have the same alpine stars chest/shoulder combo. It's fantastic. Peace of mind for 20mile commutes on GTS. I don't think it would save my collarbone from impact, but I think the pads would encourage me to relax into a roll.

👍 Go gear! Did you happen to see Duf losing an inner tube and falling in traffic? Be careful out there.

Sometimes I’m looking to learn but get schooled instead. Eventually, the wind will bend to your experience… cars, not so much.

I think with a bit more time, you would gotten it on the Lynx without the smaller wheel. But you not wanting to damage the Lynx but dropping it and the weight placed doubts in your mind. It worked out in the end but I am confident you would have gotten it. I’m like you and would certainly take the challenge of learning something new and just get the big wheel and take my lumps on getting it. When I learned how to ride my hover board, I took to it quickly. Yes it has two wheels but mounting and getting the mindset of using your eyes and brain to move, turn and stop, should be somewhat in the same world.

I had a hoverboard too 🙌🏾they were fun. Took me a little bit to get it on that too. Kinda miss it. I probably would’ve got it on the Lynx. The V8s was perfect though. I definitely would’ve dropped the Lynx a few times. I dropped the V8s 4 times. No damage though since it was padded up. All in all I’m just happy these days. What seemed like an impossible mission is a thing of the past. Lynx feels so good and I’m still learning every day. I know the best days have yet to come. The journey is a fun 1. Thank you for the support my friend 🙌🏾

You know, people try to ride Harley motorcycles as their first motorcycle, you're free to make that choice. It doesn't mean it's a good idea. I know that the Patton's weight and I'm assuming other Veteran wheel's is not very noticeable once riding. But controlling 90lbs with one leg when mounting and dismounting is not trivial.

Now u need to learn how to ride seated and make a video about seated riding.
