forgot about this, next season I'll give a try, be great for working on switch in the parking lot

@lia would be fun to do a frankenboard ride w/ all you kooks

I've been a skibum for almost 40yrs so Mom's numb to it, while my wife Becki call's herself a onewheel widow ;-/
she does ride the ebike with me occasionally tho.

@lia glad your not seriously injured! You should look for a replacement . I saw the cat ear helmet on Ebay last year when I broke mine, shipped from china.

@swinefeaster I had been thinking of taking off my mini fangs but they gave me that split second of deceleration before watching the pavement approaching my face, think I'll keep'em on. My 30 year old rollerblade wrist guards kicked ass, but I'll be looking for better elbow pads that stay put, maybe the forearm ones. neglected the knee pads lately and paid the price.
admittedly past my "3 beer zone" accelerated too much on a deceiving uphill. kinda shot my weekend.

@lemur the wrecking ball strikes again

@notsure careful or you'll get a week in owforum jail

blue? oh wait mine are gray!

(Yes I spelt it color. Visual Studio doesn't like me using the 'U' so I give in!) consider it streamlining rather than giving up tradition

(Where do I hand in my red coat?) US embassy and beg for asylum.

@biell I like the idea of extra strip under your preferred foot position. That may not work with the fishbones, which were working on the og pads reliably. I'd put the old 1 back on but its beat up after 2800mi. over 3years

But then again, apparently someone was asking how to add air to their GT tire...

Just put your lips over the valve and blow?

LOL, autopilot from Airplane

@s-leon we call'em goblets
lot's of horny toms in our yard almost every day, I'm going to really miss living here.

the sound his wingtips made scratching on the frozen snowpack was eerie.

@lia brilliant!

@lia thanks. I think I nailed the aesthetics on this build, (need a little more red tape for the fender), was going to black out the pads but the wood trim gives it a more DIY feel.

the new footpads 4th layer of plastic is making the fishbones under the foam grip very finicky to engage. anybody here had a go at peeling the extra layer off?

cruizing my fav industrial park and met a young moose heading for a small marsh.

taken from the onewheel posted a clip on youtube.

I've been day dreaming of this.

@hanahsdax had a lot of hotwheels as a kid, I'll have to look for those stickers!

@franko said in Spring refresh on the ol' OG Battleborn Pint:

@notsure thanks! it's amazing what a new coat of paint can do.

toe straps off old snowboard bindings,

oh man i love that! does it work?

the straps work like the toe hooks on my 1st wheel, really helps keep the ball of my feet engaged when doing big fast heelside carves!!
just set my lifetime speed to 21.7 doing big full street wide arched back carves in my favorite recently paved low/no traffic zone! staightlining at 21 feels sketchy, carving big at that speed feels stable
