Onewheel Names
-
@loaffette How about FLOAT FEET? An anogram of your forum name . . . also appropriate to the way you've embraced your board! :)
GT-S > GT > Pint X > XR > +

@onedangt Lol, it's a nice name but it doesn't really stick
I'm going to be going for a black and red color scheme as well, so I think I should try and stick with it

@Loaffette -- Some names that have Onewheeled through my head:
“’Fette” — or “Fete” — or “Pete”
“Kyle” — or “Doerksen” — or “Doerksenson”
“Thomas” — or “Edison” who championed direct current over Tesla who invented alternating current“Zippy” — or “Thug” — or “Kerry”
“Messimer” — or “Murmur”
Names of my boards:
My Onewheel V1 is “Peter the Wolf” — childish, impetuous, fairly secretive, great fun but with a streak of wild recklessness.
My Leaderboard Onewheel Plus has gone through several names, finally settling on “A Dark Horse” now for thousands of miles.
Two of my Onewheels have come to me already with names:
“Legion” — my other Plus... and
“OneDanXR” which came to me with 7128 miles.
And I did Frankenstein-build another V1, but it came-to-be and then in a couple of months was gone before the thought of a name ever came up. -
@s-leon said in Onewheel Names:
or “Fete”
I had thought Float Fete, which means Float Party! And the acronym still holds true :)
-
@s-leon you have HOW many boards again?!
I'm thinking of a feminine name. I'm working on a rail guard design, though here's what I have so far. The reason I bring it up is because I want the name to match with the theme of the board I guess.
I see that a lot of people have generic rail guards from FM and I wanna make my board stand out.
I'm stuck between Rose and Mika personally.
Though if I somehow end up with another onewheel, I might take one of S. Leon's names suggestions, since they are pretty good!(also thoughts on the rail design? It's for a pint but will edit to work for the XR)
113 volts?! I could lick that!
-
@loaffette -- “Regena” — “Rosilena” — “Rosietta” — “Rose-Pauli” — “Rose-Marietta” — “Ruse” -- "XRose" -- "RumbleRose"
-
@loaffette I love the rail guards 😍 who's the character?
-
@lia I actually don't know. It's only the head and chest shots of a character a friend showed me year ago along with a picture of my pfp
I'm not entirely sure, and I haven't been able to find anything on them.

Well that was relatively easy challenge.
@LOAFFETTE & @Lia ... results are below
[ Firstly -- a BIG off-topic input! Sorry! I know I'm occasionally good at creating those. ]
[ Secondly -- WARNING! :: NSFW content and 18+ (if clicked on further links) ]In general, the artist goes by the name 'GrayBear'1.) Here's hi-res full image of LOAFFETTE's pfp. The character likely goes by name Yana N. Ritter as stated in reddit and numerous of other places.
2.) Rail guard design source images at full scale are #1 here and #2 here. Whilst not sure about #1 .. the character at #2 is likely called Mika.
-No need to thank. That was fun!!!
If anyone got a tune or fragment that Shazam won't pick up for you - PLEASE let me know! I am more than willing to give it a try. When I got some leisure time. -
@sirgu . . . O h

yknow?113 volts?! I could lick that!
-

Nothing in your pfp is wrong and tbh the actual art itself is tasteful :) -
@lia

Alright .. now .. to strive it back into topic -- I'll leave y'all a story about 'Onewheel Names'
Back in ~early '21 I had an idea to name my XR as following:
" See ei ole T(R)OTTER "
Well, there's a linguistic joke behind it. It can be translated from estonian in two ways:-
- with "R" -- " It is not a TROTTER "
-
- without "R" -- " It is not a stupid (thing*) "
*-- is just a cognitive afterword in that context
- without "R" -- " It is not a stupid (thing*) "
Eventually I left it there as no other person besides myself would have had a chance to experience that kind'a inside joke. So my board just goes by it's S/N ever since.

@sirgu I love it!

anyone of you guys live in a small town and ride just to get groceries or beer?...I used to live in denver and didn't buy a ow until i moved back to my hometown just to feel like I was snowboarding again on the one busy road I live on...I am the only one wheeler in town and proud of it but have been stopped by cops and "locals" a lot
-
my ow name is brazen1.. it's meant to be ironic
-
@jp same here! One out of around two people with a onewheel, though I've seen the other guy only once.
Police seem not too intersted in my onewheel, and I've only been stopped because I was riding alongside a small crowd and I was told to walk my board until I got ahead of them
-
Created a first version for custom rail guards that fit the XR. They are a good start but things are missing
I feel like there could be more detail but for now this is a good start I'd say
Also I might stick with Rose
113 volts?! I could lick that!
