Went trail riding today with some of the local onewheelers! I met some pretty cool people and even one of the people who works at the local 1wheelparts shop in Dallas!
Everyone was pretty cool and chill, though my led clip for the badgersense broke and the LED came loose. I still ahve it but I has a crack that I need to patch/glue. (Sorry Leon!)
113 volts?! I could lick that!
-
@loaffette -- Looks like a good ride. -- The repair on the BadgerSense LED will give it character!
-
@s-leon i superglue it, though I think I might hit the LED strip with a hair dryer to soften thr plastic, then use something heavy to flaten it out if thats ok
I can't get it to easily stay on my board and the clips won't work as intended with the curved LED strip
113 volts?! I could lick that!

Not the first of these I have shared, but this python caught my eye on someone's drive as I rode home last night. Had a real stumpy tail, probably and old injury.
-
@stinkyface No thank you! id be off my board and running the other way!
-
@cheppy44 Okay but like... what if it's friendly :3
-
@stinkyface oooooo snake!
Reminds me of the time in summer camp for boy scouts when a lot of the older scouts were trying to catch snakes for.. some weird reason

Have you made railguards for the varials? Looks awesome in orange!
Sorry, just seeing this! Nothing special, it's just vinyl wrap. Less than $10 on Amazon plus a sharp blade :)
@LOAFFETTE That track looks fun! I drive by one occasionally with the gate open too lol. I haven't had the confidence to stop and try it out yet but riding on mulched rubber I bet is a dream.

But do you think this will protect against falls and collisions?
Can you send me the link on Amazon?
Thanks -
@ed_co Very minimal protection! But, yes, it does protect against minor scratches and dirt rash. I wouldn't expect much on hard surfaces such as pavement, concrete or gravel but again, it does offer some protection. Nothing close to the protection the hard-to-remove PITA poly rail guards provide lol.
My favorite part about using wrap is when you get bored with a color, it's very easy to peel off and redo. Just make sure you keep SHARP blades on hand as they dull pretty quick. I just use basic x-acto blades but definitely buy a pack or two if you plan on doing this. Isopropyl alcohol is your friend as well.
Link to wrap. Just type the color/style you want in the search: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=vinyl+wrap&crid=OR9DADBW9X0G&sprefix=vinyl+wrap%2Caps%2C171&ref=nb_sb_noss_1
Pics because everyone like pics, right? lol
I have since decided to go with black on the outside and color on top and bottom. Again, so easy to swap out opposed to poly guards:
The day I received the rails:

In spirit of the thread, from last season :)

Happy Spring with a V1!

Some spring flower vibe been taking over here.
Why not?

@sirgu -- Nice photo of snowdrops backlit by sunshine!

Didn't have the Onewheel when I found this one today but since we're doing flowers...
-
We had a few nice days over the extended Easter weekend.
Managed a ride to a local viewpoint, lots of ruts with large flint stones to try and put you off balance…
One bonus, the tractor had been around turning the fields over and had flattened out some of the large flints making the path a bit smoother.
I have a couple of segments set here… one going up, the other going down, the trouble is you always meet dog walkers etc. who like a chat. Plus obviously being courteous you always have to slow down out of respect regardless. So, never really seem to improve my time 😂😂😂
New rail guards from Craft and Ride (one of the few companies to offer free shipping regularly, I really appreciate that…)
I have some Matt black Bang Bumpers on the way too to finish the look off. -
^ I love wide open spaces like that. Wish I had more around that are electric friendly.
Lots of dead fallen trees blocking the trails this year. I'm doing some temporary clearing just so I can ride lol.
edit: Non-potato photo.

@blkdout
Love that, a chain saw, the perfect companion in that environment 😂 -
@puzz360 I cannot explain enough how efficient the Onewheel has made my chores. Usually I was firing up a mower, putting tools in a wagon and hauling them as far as it could go. The OW goes where the mower can't and it's so much faster even if I only carry one thing at a time.
Not to mention, I probably wouldn't have taken this photo if the saw wasn't orange lol.
