Onewheel Photoshoot Thread
-
@s-leon this inspires me to take my wheel across the swinging bridge over Kooteney Falls Gorge. I'll be hunting for photogenic spots this spring.
recently replace so now it's even higher.

@b0ardski -- Across the suspension bridge on the trail at the Girdled Road Reservation of the Lake MetroParks in Concord, Ohio I rode my V1 slowly (because I did not want to carry the heavy thing across), and had to use the handrail cables to steady myself and my board from about halfway on. Now there are Onewheel riders who ride it all the way across with aplomb and never have to touch the handrails. The sway, the crosswise planks, and especially the dynamic, alive rise and fall from one cable support to the next make it challenging. The lengthwise planks of the Kootenai bridge would be an advantage, but the overall bridge length and spectacular one hundred foot drop there would likely put butterfly quivers in my muscles.

@s-leon it's only a 50' drop to the water but the butterfly's don't know the difference, would only ride it if nobody else is on it!! It's called the swinging bridge for a reason, but the new one is a bit more stable.

The snowstorm we had yesterday reminded me of riding in one last February. Actually, it was two years ago. -
And another day. -
@s-leon Awesome camera angle! Was that with your phone camera?
-
@stinkyface -- Indeed! Glad you like it.

January 26, 2022 -- Northeast Ohio -- We have had over 30 inches of snowfall in a week and two days -- first 17 inches in one long squall, then an inch or several freshening every day or so. This photo is near our house, at about 300 feet of driveway away from the road. As of yet I have not been Onewheeling much this winter, since my hard concussion in December.The Onewheel is resting nose down because of no battery weight in the back. The rubber bicycle tire pieces are freewheel brakes. The rails are carbon steel Ruckus Rails with aluminum traces where the Ignite Lift Kit formerly had been. The white rear footpad is a piece of plastic deck-like board. The white handle is a drawer pull.

@s-leon I love how every time I see your board it gets even more custom. Very MadMax vibes and it looks great. The suspension really adds to it too.
Happy to see you out riding albeit not as much. I can't imagine 30 inches of snow here. I've heard stories of massive snowstorms in the UK but I've personally never seen more than a few inches.
@HanahsDax How's the snow been around your side of the states? Gotten up to any wintery adventures?
-
@lia It’s been a mild winter here so far. We had a couple big storms early and then a lot of sunny, warm days. Here is a pic I took in early December on my commute to work after a storm overnight.
-
@hanahsdax Looks like a real nice ride to work. Do you rub all the snow off with a towel or something when you get in?
-
@lia Yeah in the winter I ride up to catch the Chondola which takes me right to the core where our office is located. I usually broom off any snow before bringing it in and wipe down the wheel with a rag and a paper towel.

@notsure the Ganjala.

We finally got some snow last night. Here’s how to turn a treaded into a slick. -
@hanahsdax That's a cool look, does the snow getting packed into the tread cause traction issues or is it unnoticeable.
I've heard when the treads get water logged it can lead to aquaplaning so wondered if similar occurs with snow.
-
@lia I think in certain conditions the treads help but for the most part it’s really about throttle control in the snow. Those $9 snow chains look interesting but I don’t think I’ll go that route.

It's a growing family
Moved the boards to the bedroom since the wall along the workshop isn't big enough anymore. Making that new stand to house them all (except the XS, I just wanted to put it alongside the others)
