Whatever your gender, walking is for peasants lol.
i was thinking about it. thats a good point! walking is for peasants... a bit aggressive maybe. classist perhaps lol. but accurate!
i can ride my onewheel in the heat of summer n have a constant 12 knot wind chill. when everyone else is sweating profusely, im cruising down to 7/11 to grab a Slurpee... Swing by the harborside on my way back.
No smelly fuel or loud noises. A zen, almost yoga-like physical activity that elevates metabolism. Favors lean muscle. Free tanning.
im surprised its not mostly women!
XR's got what plants crave!

This is a good point as well. I do find myself engaging with my feminine side whilst riding lol. It involves fluid hip movements, critical thinking and a clear mind.
On the same token, women are much smarter than men so it makes sense they wouldn't put themselves at as much risk lol.

settle down chief... my point is that, marketing is about communicating a perspective on value, correct?
so, if as u suggest, women are for whatever reason more risk averse, then it's reasonable to assume the same marketing strategies may not work for both.
my conclusion would be that women require different marketing than men.
women's race was great! I think FM should sponsor more events.

@NotSure lol I thought it was widely known , study after study, women are scientifically smarter than men. Not so?
As far as actual, women-targeted marketing, yeah they could tone down the burn outs and trail action shots. Focus more on grocery, coffee runs, highlight the convenience and practicality perhaps? Have to admit, I don't see much marketing/commercials outside my little bubble. Not sure what most people are seeing.
@Lia Yes, the races were awesome. I peeked at other races for a refresher and the course is more rad coupled with GT's so there's a lot more going on. They needed more cameras and better cameramen IMO but other than that, still worth a watch.

For real I do my weekly shopping on my XR. Yeah I struggle getting it all into the apartment with the XR but it's a tool for the actual travel bit. I mean unless FM start selling boyfriends to carry things for me too the XR has made shopping so much nicer than faffing with my ebike.

I guess given more exposure they'll attract some real talent. Apparently the commentator they got was some well known guy from something else.

Haha! If they start selling boyfriends, they better start selling girlfriends too. I would love to have a close riding partner.

I saw a discussion about the guest commentator. I'm guessing they wanted someone outside of Onewheel to ask those newb questions for new riders/viewers. It gives FM an opportunity to explain a little bit about the board. Made sense to me but others were pretty upset it wasn't Wren. (I don't really know who he is lol)

Some believe everyone sees what they see and that's just not the case.
Most of my advertising comes from YouTube but I'm well aware it's bubble advertising. Chainsaws, Onewheels, Tools...Everyone loves that stuff, right? lol
