Thx @S-Leon, can't wait to see OneDanXR get born again!

@onedangt -- The idea of sharing the BadgerSense did not sit well with my Plus, so I went ahead and ordered another for the OneDanXR -- and a BadgerSight HUD to use with my full face helmet for both.
...Cheaper than a boat... cheaper than a motorcycle... cheaper than a new or antique car... cheaper than a private aircraft... cheaper than a suburban lifestyle... cheaper than many other indulgences...

Out of curiosity, does the BadgerSense have a smart watch app (Apple or Android)? I love having my battery and speed on my watch so I can glance at it whenever I want.

@onedangt -- As far as I know, no, the BadgerSense does not connect to a smart phone.
How the BadgerSight HUD display compares to the BadgerSense strip LED display -- where the red threshold (and/or yellow zone) on the BadgerSight kicks-in in relation to the percent of red on the BadgerSense -- is of interest to me. Late next week should tell, with my Plus, the OneDanXR, or both.

Woohoo!

@onedangt -- OneDanXR arrived! It is a nice looking board. I took a couple photos of the unboxing, and will try to post them sometime. Right on the charger it went, and then out to the Greenway for an introductory run. For the next run I will put the BadgerSense on it, and push the yellow a little. Oh! And on the ride I did see a milksnake about two feet long. An adventure!
-
@s-leon Happy to hear the OneDanXR has a good home :D
-
@s-leon I know it's not customized yet, but how is the ride compared to your pluses?

@onedangt -- Except for the bouncy tire -- which may partly be a function of air pressure -- and a level presentation at 17mph because of not yet reaching pushback, the ride is smooth and similar to the ride on my Pluses.
Turn-arounds need to be more flat and cautious than with my Ignite lifted Plus, with which I can dig the toe down deep without catching pavement. Hmmm... I do have another Ignite lift kit which I may eventually install.
By the way, the morning six o'clock numbers for OneDanXR: Mileage rank # 106 with 7135 total lifetime miles logged; and Daystreak rank with one day and seven miles -- # 3077.

Nice kick start on the mileage, eh? :D

@onedangt -- OneDanXR should be in double digit ranking in not much more than an eye blink!
Edit: With seven more miles today, May 14th, the OneDanXR is inching up in rank -- now at #105.
More Edit: Mostly solidly in the yellow on the BadgerSight HUD today, Saturday, May 14th, with one flash of red as the battery had less to give. Top speed -- 21.6 mph.
-
With a one day XR streak again today, this time OneDanXR is ranked at #3973 -- which means worldwide there are 900 more app-connected XR riders Onewheeling today, Saturday, than were riding Thursday -- almost four thousand XR riders total, today.
-
Now with eleven days and 103 miles of riding logged, the OneDanXR is ranked number 293 on the XR Daystreak, a jump of 3680 places from day one -- also the OneDanXR is stable at ranking number 105 in XR mileage, only up one place from day one.
Consistently riding in the 20-22 mph range, at over 22 mph the wide T2 tire seems to put more of a wobble in the ride than I like to feel. Pushing speed, the range is not much more than that of a stock Plus -- about seven miles to twenty-some percent. And at low battery, the BadgerSense is more volatile with the cautionary RED jumping up much more easily.
Edit: Oh! And I saw a red fox on the Greenway yesterday -- and very nearly ran over a gray squirrel today. The squirrel darted out, turned and ran back, turned and darted again, feeling the wind of the OneDanXR whooshing past just a very few centimeters from the squirrel's nose.

I think average riding speed affects range more than people think. I would ride that board in the 16-18 mph range and would get 11 or 12 miles of range with the same 20-some percent left with outdoor temps in the 70F range. I've noticed this on the GT as well where I can squeeze out a few more miles by riding around 17 mph instead of my preferred 19/20.
Awesome to see how quickly it's climbing up the leaderboard!

@onedangt -- I agree about speed using up battery, it's the same with my Pluses and EGO batteries -- range is much less at high average speed.
-
More OneDanXR adventures! A wild turkey ran across the trail a quarter mile ahead of me, highlighted in silhouette. Another half mile down the trail, with interest four whitetail deer watched me coming up, and only once I got close they started, flipped their tails up white, and leisurely bounded into the woods.
And I must be getting comfortable on the OneDanXR, probably because I stopped, focused, and readjusted my foot-stance twice -- it is a little different than my front-heavy Plus. My top speed on the OneDanXR is now up to 23.6 mph -- which is about three-quarters RED on the BadgerSense.

WooHoo!
You mean, like these?
and these?
Oh yeah, what mode are you riding? I pretty much locked into delirium on the XR and now I ride apex on the GT.

@onedangt -- Nice photos. Yes! Very much like those -- although the wild turkey I saw was not a displaying tom but a pretty hen. Once in a nearby cemetery I saw and got a photo of another pretty hen and her brood of little goblins.
Mission is the mode in which I ride.

@s-leon we call'em goblets
lot's of horny toms in our yard almost every day, I'm going to really miss living here.
the sound his wingtips made scratching on the frozen snowpack was eerie. -
A flash of black, white, and arrest-me-red rapidly across the trail told me I was seeing a pileated woodpecker. A few days ago the bright orange and black of an oriole flashed at about waist height not much more than a reach away as OneDanXR and I zipped along on the Greenway.
Inching up in the XR rankings, OneDanXR is now number 104 with 7265 miles. On the Onewheel Plus Daystreak, with four days and 42 miles, I am up to number 23 -- Pluses seem to be much underappreciated and under-ridden.
