Watch This Video Before Buying a ONEWHEEL // Complete BEGINNER Learns to Ride!

Hey guys! This is a rough review of riding my Onewheel Plus "hoverboard" for a week. I'm a complete beginner to board sports so I wanted to document my process of learning how to ride the OneWheel. From slowly increasing my range to my muscles getting used to the ride, it's been a pretty cool experience!

Oh wow you actually had some production value on this vid. Nice work man!! As a OG rider who has been riding since the beginning, this was super interesting for me to watch. I’ll be referring people here who have a similar background as you and ask me about learning to ride. Congrats and welcome to the Float Life!! It’s full of constant questions about the board and super fun experiences haha. Peace man!

Dude admits being non-athletic and having never skateboarded yet still got the Onewheel. Balls is the one thing this dude clearly has.

[@Flynrat]

Keep your front foot as far back as possible (close to the fender) and your back foot further back, and bend your knees. Try not looking down so much and just concentrate on where you want to go! You’re doing great bud, keep it up!

Great vid! I am a 45 year old dude who has never ridden a skateboard and isn't particularly athletic or coordinated, and I bought a OneWheel. It took me about 5 times out before I started to really "get it" and have a lot of fun. My 8 year old daughter and my wife, both amazingly coordinated and athletic, picked it up immediately. We practiced exclusively on grass for the first few times out and that was a wise decision, because I fell hard more than once. Now I prefer riding on on the road or paved trails, and occasionally going off road on hard packed dirt trails. The nice thing is you can go pretty much anywhere with this beast.

Great video! Just wanted to tell you, thanks for being brave enough to make a video for us beginners. You shed a lot of light and great information for all of us just starting out. Keep up the great work and thanks again!

[@e.sandypowell6223]

Slide Wreck Dan, thanks for the tutorial. I've gotten hooked just by a short 'dance' on my son-in-law's Onewheel. I'd like a Pint! ;-) We'll see. No immediate plans. I'm 72 and REALLY got a lot out of your getting started. I'll let you know if I find a way to finance my board. Take care and (yeah, no brainer) have Fun! Sparky

[@thepursuitwitheric1170]

Hell yeah Dan! Good for you for stepping out of your comfort zone! Awesome video! There is a lot of useful information here for beginners.

[@rojoburrito]

I have had my OW for 7

[@thescoot]

Thanks for the video. I am the same with no board experience, but wanted something new to learn. At 52 the falls hurt a lot more than I remember them! Your tips helped me make adjustments and give me hope for the next few days. 1 day in so far and loving it.

[@EMBEVIDEO]

Thanks for that video. Best and most honest review especially for beginners! Good job :)

[@alastairelder4897]

I just bought a Onewheel Pint, and was worried about having no experience with any sort of board sport ( I tried years ago to learn how to skateboard and snowboard with no success). I am so so glad you made this video, and it makes me feel more confidant about my purchase, and learning how to ride it. I've seen a lot your other videos on the Onewheel and they are always A+ content. Keep making awesome vids dude!

[@Dude13588]

Hey man, great video! I've been on the fence about trying to get a Onewheel for a few weeks now but have been in a similar situation about trying it. I wanted to thank you for creating this video and I like what I've seen on your channel thus far! So here's another subscriber! And thank you for inspiring me to go and try what you shared. Keep on creating, and stay awesome!

[@steelmansurfer]

Good job Man. Enjoyed the video . Got a Onewheel XR too. Loving it. Fell a bunch of times in the beginning, but was geared up, so no permanent damage. It's great how the board grows on you and getting around becomes second nature . The longer you ride the more fun it gets. Keep it up.

[@chuckcalhoun4761]

Dan, Thanks for this incredible video. Your willingness to show your struggle is a great inspiration for a guy like me who is taking longer than 15 minutes to master the Onewheel. I've had my pint a little over a week. I'm still in the back yard. I think today, I'll get out on the pavement. My progress has been slow, but it's still progress. I try to get better each time I get on my pint.

[@brazenclips]

It was refreshing to see the growing pains of someone with no boardsport experience! Glad you stuck with it homie! 🤙

[@joeconstantino2130]

I just bought mine today, and I just want to say thank you for this video! You got me even more excited! Got a new subscriber bud!

[@pyramid992]

Great job man I've had mine for about a month and I'm pretty familiar with boards as I grew up surfing and longboarding, but this video was super fun to watch and definitely helpful for those that are hesitant about getting a onewheel or e board!

[@seanc.5310]

My Onewheel XR gets delivered tomorrow and can't wait! I've got a lot of skateboarding and snowboarding experience so hoping I'm happy with it. Great video though and much more realistic for many people. I like your honesty.

[@RachieGrace]

Great video, man! I’m waiting for mine to arrive. I’ve longboarded some, but never been into any serious board sports, so I found this very helpful!

[@agunther08]

This helped, I’m in the same mode now, 66 years old out of shape compared to all you 20 year olds, 4 days in and I got two big crashes and a sore groin muscle, taking today off to heal. My take away so far, WEAR every piece of padding you can find, Helmet and wrist guards at the very minimum. This thing can turn and bite you in a New York minute. So fast your not even sure what happened. Give yourself a break, these are new muscles that will take a while to train, don’t let yourself get sucked into speed- the board will try to pull you into higher speed than your untrained feet and ankles can stabilize, then you start to wobble and there’s a good chance you are going airborn. The pavement is not friendly and gravity is a cruel mistress. Don’t go faster than you can reliably control, learn the fundamentals first - speed much later. Baby steps. Better to go slow than to try and power through, get hurt and end up selling your board. This not a race it is journey.
