Seeing riders bonk up multiple steps without fins still boggles my mind.

i can go off of (small) curbs, but i haven't attempted to learn to go up them. stuff like this seems super-human to me. in muddy conditions, no less!

ou could probably push it, they went down that 25degree hill pretty quick.

i don't bounce like i used to lol...

i just wanna be able to keep up with traffic on the flats too.

my avg speed when i snowboard is 35mph. thats fairly comfortable for me on a groomed slope.

@Franko Me too, I'll drop a curb here and there but going up something sounds like a quick way to see how well my helmet slides.
Wish I could find the vid, you basically see the tire absorb the step then bounce over it with loads of air when done right. Must have been a TFL or WheelFunStuff video.

@NotSure I know I don't, plan on working on that though with better fall technique and not.... whatever I do now lol. Top speed was increased but if the pushback is like the Pint then it might be harder to edge the board into the danger speedy zone. I'm not a speed person but I'll let you know what I get out of it :)

[NotSure]

@lia yeah that aggressive pushback might be a deal breaker. i'll wait n see.

but i usually don't ride with high heels on tho... usually...

you sound similar to me. i've been pushing my fear level lately and trying to get 40+ mph on my snowboard, but it's gotta be on runs i'm very familiar with. Now, on my Pint, i'm good at just under the max speed. i don't ride my Pint for speed, i ride it to cruise and have a casual ride.

[Franko]

well, now you're slowing down to my max speeds on a good day, let's just put it that way. 😬

since it deep in snowbo season right now, i just wanted to drop in and comment that i am a total spead freak on the snowboard, but i don't really push past 16mph on the onewheel. maybe go a little crazier on dirt trails, but pavement, hell no. snowboards won't turn off on you like the onewheel! fuck that
