Re: First Ride 55 yr old fat man 245lbs
I finally bought one, I also ride a unicycle ( not an electric one). I live in Lewes DE (USA). I have mainly the wobbling trouble, now with 26 psi I have improve a lot the stability. I did few tests at lower pressure (14/16/17/ 20 psi), never happy I moved also my feet in few positions but never reach my goal. I tested 28 psi but if stable it was bumpy …
After 4 weeks and 132 miles I really enjoy my new toy …😋 -
@divouneh Congrats on getting a board and finding what works best for you 😊
Any plans for this year on where you'll explore with it? -
@divouneh Hello fellow Delawarean! Lookup "ZombDob" in the OW app and friend request him if you are looking for someone to ride with. He moved from up here down to the beach this past year.

@biell I did the Gordon pound last week 😀 from Hering point to Rehoboth 😀. I am always happy to ride with others. You are welcome ( I live near five points in Lewes).
I did 16 miles this morning before the snow 😢😢😢… -
Still learning to ride, I am starting with small curbs 😌, over 13 mph the bord wobble too much to be safe in long rides…. I reach 17.5 mph in short runs, I can’t do long ride over 13 mph. It will probably come with the times and miles..
Thinking to replace the original tire with an «Enduro » to see if it could improve the stability… -
Welcome to Onewheeling pints are awesome

I did 17 miles today, reached the pushback … I am going to be confortable on road, less and less wobling …. I have to work riding on grass and smooth surfaces, it’s away challenging .

@divouneh Congrats on breaking new milestones.
Grass is pretty forgiving to ride so I'm sure you'll master that quickly. It's not as bad falling off at least 😅 -
@lia I’s interesting to see how with practice you manage the wobble. 😳.
-
@divouneh 10 miles this morning in Henlopen park, a blast 😁. Few tests on grass, over natural bumps… 👍
Today February 28th, 241 miles in less than 7 winter weeks. Last weeks, we had snow and freezing temperatures😜. So glad I bought an “X”, the range is very good. Really a new life…😊😂😁 -

@divouneh This morning trip to the coffee shop with friend on e-bike. Around 6 miles round trip, and big surprise: when coming back I spent half of time with the alarm and little push back😮. Now, I reach easily 18 mph, what was impossible 2 weeks ago 🙄…

@divouneh -- Be safe! Stay cautious! Wear your gear! Enjoy riding! Onewheel crashes can come from overconfidence.
Most every Onewheel crash I've had -- in my over thirty thousand Onewheel miles logged -- came as a sudden and complete surprise. With my gear tuned to the purpose, by experience, now I can crash, get right up, and happily ride more.

@s-leon I do wear protections ☺️..,
-
@divouneh My testing curb, to practice safely. I could always put higher pieces of wood 🫣
