New here. Hoping to contribute to the community and hoping this first picture works lol.

Geez. You guys upped the game since I've been here lol. Thought I was being clever with this one but I'll try harder next time.

I'm not a commuter or daily rider but the winter wait really takes a toll. The weather is turning around and I was FINALLY able to put some miles on yesterday.

First season was just learning the fundamentals.
Second season was pushing skills and developing a style.
Third Season... I don't know yet!

For those of you that have been around for a while, what can I expect this year?

I do plan on going to Float Valley in Tennessee for a change in scenery. Just hoping I don't plateau and get bored.

It was messy but so much fun to break in the new season:

@onedangt Can't disagree with focusing on the customer experience and furthering education about the limitations. I have always disagreed with the sales pitch that "Anyone can do it!". Adding an audible alert could be just the solution needed.

By "business as usual" though I meant it would be better than them being banned from making Onewheels. I see it wasn't clear and even confused myself lol.

With that said, I grew up skateboarding and you just kind of know when you're approaching danger. No safety bells and whistles needed. The Onewheel has been no exception in my experience. Watching people accelerate these things into oblivion and ride way outside their skillset makes me more upset than it should. The government is already coming for another hobby of mine because of irresponsible users and I'm kind of shellshocked it's happening again with this.

I promise not to make this a snake thread but couldn't help sharing one of my favs. My dog found it and made it not happy lol.

Just wanted to share the stand I made a while back. Don't have any awesome internal board mods like you guys yet but maybe eventually.

Bought the steel years ago for another project that got changed so it was just scrap laying around. I've been kicking it around the floor, bending the arms, ruining the finish but it's holding up well lol.

You guys are reminding me I need to power up my robot spider this year. 26 servos and various algorithms for different movements and dances. Fun for a few minutes I guess lol.

My people are happy I found forums and finally shut up about it lol.

I never wear buttoned, collared shirts but it was a special occasion lol. Was kind of lazy this year and never made anything for the board either... I think we put up decorations way too early so kind of got burnt out too soon. Still had a great day!

Steep-ish decent down to a stream. Basically a valley with hills on both sides. Notice the switchback on the left side, starting top to bottom and the Onewheel down by the stream. Need more angles, not going to attempt to upload a panoramic lol.

@s-leon As a kid I lived in a town that held annual "Hot Air Balloon Races". About 20 would launch from an 1812 Fort I need to bring my Onewheel someday. So as any kid would do, we rode our bikes down to the balloon pits before takeoff and the pilots would give us frisbees and stickers and stuff sponsoring their balloon. We watched them lay out their balloons and test their flames and stuff before takeoff. They let us in the baskets too, just so fun.

Luck would have it, one year a balloon had to emergency land and it happened to be in our backyard. We walked outside and sure enough, they handed us frisbees and stickers to apologize for the inconvenience lol.

Looks like my scenery is actually changing. Job is relocating so I have to leave my trails behind. Not going to make the progress I was planning. Womp womp.

Just going to turn this into a memorial thread until the next thing lol.

Didn't have the Onewheel when I found this one today but since we're doing flowers...

Here's some from last year. Abandoned horse track turned Nature Preserve:

Indoor practice track:

Main track is 1 mile and the indoor track is 1/8 mile... You can see both on the overhead:

All packed up. Luckily found a new place that is definitely bigger and hopefully better. It comes with premade trails and a water feature. I see it as a blank canvas!

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Beach!
