My little contribution to this off-topic:
switch = opposite to your natural stance
fakie = riding battery side forward, sensors back (while feet remaining on same pads respectively your stance type)
[While in skateboarding these mean higher science ...]
... in onewheeling implementing both of these terms is somewhat comprehensible.
I wouldn't see 'switch' in snowboarding due to boots clamped onto board. And I wouldn't imagine 'fakie' with surfboard due to its hydrodynamycs. But I might be short-sighted as not deeply involved in either sports.

@hanahsdax Road marking colors are notorious for having different kind of grip at some speeds. - Was he challenging himself with holding that line after trail riding with you?

I would not be too surprised if those will be featured in course of time. Because high skilled people would map these down anyways. Dude speaks about everything with open cards. Simply marvelous.

RE: Funniest thing someone has called your Onewheel?
My mother got in habit calling it "rull" ever since saw it and didn't let loose of it.
Whilst meaning a lot of things .. 'rull' is somewhat short derivation of word 'teerull' ... which in turn means road roller compactor in english.
I suppose the look of fenderless stock Vega MBM had something to do with it.
EDIT: She is 78 yrs by now. -

RE: Floatwheel is back...
You just posted a minute before! :) -- Yep, that's what the community is eager to talk right now.
EDIT :
There were some discussions about pre-leaked 'knockoff' rail designs a while back ... now the site is finalized with the rest exposed.
https://floatwheel.com/Interesting times. Just when FM had went through U.S. CPSC Statement, the new bombshell taken place.
Let's see if the Floatwheel is about to change how OW community looking at Chinese equivalents. And if ... maybe time for FM to change some attitudes? -
RE: 357-T rails from Tech-Rails
Knowing, accepting .. and actually acknowledging that principle helps a lot on understanding Tech-Rails and all the dizziness around it. Personally I don't bother get bitter.
[ And in this particular case, not liking these 'trussed rails' out of either material/design. Mainly due to the same maintenance and practicality-wise aspects out of @biell and @ed_co posts. ]
That aside ... I got couple of (simple?) things from their bucket and acknowledged long ago that the most of their ultra high-end products are out of my league. I just amaze on vast variety of options in OW world.P.S. : If you saw two doggos having great times - you've watched the whole video.

RE: GT Rebuild
@yommoto
[Not a GT/GT-S rider in person, but] AFAIK there is (still) no nRF digi-tilt capability for those boards after recent major update. FM prevented this for GT/GT-S platform, so ppl would forcefully "enjoy" their 'Custom Shaping 3.0' feature instead of angled aftermarket rails (or both together). And this is also why TFL came up with 'Dub Tails' design for this target group -- so at least rear half end of the board remains W-shaped.
Correct me if I am wrong at some point. -

RE: Those are some fancy footpads!
Note for future :
- Whenever (and if ever) XR and VEXR version pops up -- please people update this topic ASAP.
Fancy glowing and LED-illuminated stuff has been made prior to this TFL's counterpart as well, ... but I really like 'Braking Effect' feature in it.

How did it go, @Lia ? Did you forfeit the idea adding Plus bumpers to your cart or you reached out to FM and got those listed eventually?
EDIT:
I did spot some errors as well. Seemingly they are still building up and improving this "Parts"-side sector of a shop. -
Differences/nuances between Plus & XR Main Cable Harnesses
Hey,
Now that FM are selling parts and luckly the cable harness (w/ decent price!) being among the other stuff, I'm putting together the list.But first -- I'd like to study known info about those on picture. A while ago I saw some people a little bit discussing over 'white locking clip' vs 'red locking clip' version in some context. But unfortunately I didn't bookmarked the hyperlink back then and now I don't remember if it was reddit or FB or what ...
@Lemur @biell @Lia @S.Leon and all the amazing DIYers 'n modders over the forum who have opened up multiple boards with various revisions -- What you got to share about these three cable harnesses ??- Any comparisions on overall length?
- Any notes on 'rigidness VS flexibility' aspects?
- Any build quality nuances and moddability?
Obviously I am asking these Q's due to BTG or "BeastWheel" build
[ no, I'm not starting.. got most of stuff for quite a while actually ]
Just that I don't wanna experiment if my harness is fine enough or I would have to mod it on fly. For were I am at, getting stuff during the project is rather no-go scenario. Bob's Stoke Shop discontinued their EXTENDED harness a long ago and for now I am wondering if FM's (probably the latest revision of) 'red locking clip' version is fine for being donor or I'd rather look out for second hand Plus cable harness because those -might- be a little longer than any make of XR cable harness versions out there.
[ For once again: Were I am located .. any FB Marketplace deal and receiving a spare cable harness right the other ~week is no option. So I better prefer to have everything upfront. ]
Thanks!
