@wheelwizard Sadly not. I skipped it this year as the new project hit some stumbling blocks and my day job is just chaos currently.

@scabaa Aha ikr. I'd come from a heatwave and returned to one after getting back. Was still fun regardless ^-^

our had quite a good turnout but I didn't attend most of it except the big ride as I was helping out with stuff. Apparently when bossman sponsors an event you gotta put in the work aha.

@scabaa It was great. Very wet though 😅
Surprisingly no board failures due to water ingress.

Recently I went to one of the UK events. Float The Highlands.
Officially I was representing Fungineers but I wanted to play it up a little if I was going to be doing some repairs. With a giant spanner, lab coat, cool AF glasses and a custom battery harness stethoscope I was set. If I wasn't drafted to help out with something at the event, I was riding around the event swinging that spanner around looking for trouble things to fix.

For whatever reason I felt compelled to dust off the graphics tablet and doodle it ^-^

@bigorne for your son a regular pint would be more than enough. You may need to experiment with his footwear so the footpad detects him as some shoes with less weight is hard to detect.

For yourself a PintX would be great. You should both get similar enough range currently to enjoy rides together :)

@franko Defo go next time! I'd love for something more frequent at a smaller scale.

Just saw myself and a few friends in another vid ^-^

@scabaa Just means we need to convert them 💅

@scabaa To be fair some of us had just come from a group ride in the morning but a handful of others showed up that weren't on the initial ride.

I wonder if Dom would do an IOM DNB ride? Like that'd be so cool if he did.

2 weeks ago me and a few friends attended a group ride unlike any other.

Yes mostly bikes but we had a few onewheelers come to represent.
I think I counted at least 10 Onewheels but there were so many of us DnB heads I can't say for certain.
All I know is we shut down MK that day!

I decided to get up front for the first bit and get some space to carve. Back in the main pack was very closely packed and a little hard to navigate with all the handlebars poking me in the front and regular bottom 🍑

It looks mental now but things only got more insane as we rode as a huge pack adding to our numbers the further we went.

Getting in around the speaker bikes was where you wanted to be. Getting a full body dose of bass. Literally making my entire body shake at points!

Then we got to the petrol station. Apparently this was the main attraction last year and this year did not disappoint.

@Beardonaboard just cruuuuising through the crowds outside MK Central Station.

And then helping out a skater get some speed up the hills. With his board being an absolute tank he had no issues towing.

Midride me and gang got to shoot off ahead to get a little break from the crowds.

I didn't realize it at the time but I was just ahead of Dom. I spent a lot of the event weaving from back to front and back again to experience a little of everything.

Last stop was Willen Lake. Really good spot to end it with heaps of space for everyone to pile in.

If you want to watch the whole thing from Dom's perspective here's the whole ride. Bonus points if you spot me or other Onewheelers appear throughout.

I hear the next UK one is in Nottingham sometime so I defo plan to go to that too.

Summer is the best season. Without question 🥰

So happy the sun is back!

@puzz360 Ws looking great! How are you finding the new ride style?

@wheelwizard Aha good eye. It is!
I don't usually adventure much through there anymore since there's always a surprising amount of fuzz in the area. But I felt a little adventurous that evening and decided to chance it.

Shame the weather is looking pants this weekend. I would've suggested a little group ride in the area.

@scabaa I tend to set off early and don't get back till the sun has completely set 😅 It was a mix. Big long converted railway to cycle track, ride around a reservoir and then a bit of mixed urban exploring later on before chugging along back home on mostly paved terrain. Charged up a few times between stops with a fast charger.

Just got done with a 123.6km ride. Best pic I got from the expedition 🥰

@scabaa Ah I see. I was hoping for regular outlets but that's probably never happening. Super cool you can just leave it like that without a worry.
I ride super lean so no backpack. Just the charger dangling off my hip from a carabiner in a lil bag with some misc bits alongside. Not sure I could pack the adapter 😅 Good shout though!

Personally would have preferred a HS but it's whatevs. She's got more range than my prior GT that's in retirement with the rest of the boards :3 Defo a good conversion especially if you can swap out the hypercore for a SF.

@Wheelwizard Different board. Built it from bits I acquired over time then used my Fungineer privilege's to get the missing bits I needed ^-^ Rides like a dream with just a few tweaks but I'll probably go over all the settings in vesc tool to make sure I'm not leaving anything on the table. So far it's just better than my GT was with the same battery. BTG seemingly making offroad less of a battery drain too which is nice.

@scabaa Oh wow there are just sockets around available to use?? That must be sooooo good for those rides. I'm still daisy chaining starbucks and McDonalds for reliable sockets here in middle England😭
Are the locals chill about you riding?

GT platform all the way. It's just better for putting power in safely. I'm using:

• Thor301
• GTFO BMS and headlights
• Purple anodized Superflux to GT rail axle blocks
• Superflux V2 stator and a V3 HT hub
• Thundercat BTGF tire
• WTF regular matte black rails
• Lowboy front footpad
• Kush wide retro purple rear footpad
• Mini flight fins
• Custom flight fender and flight shield

Debut of my new ride. Took forever to get it running but she’s a great little machine. Photogenic just like her sisters 🥰

@scabaa How is living on the isle of man? I hear it's quite pretty!
