Pictute of my board on the local UTD campus
Beautiful campus, though the campus life is pretty dead

RE: Vesc Conversion Status (Rose/Mika)
Guess who's back!
so my parents bought me a 18S2P battery from the BoardGarage that runs off of 50s cells. They also got my an accompanying charger and thr XLITE-V3.Spent all day setting it up, and it works!... after I accidentally plugged it into the stock harnesses reverse polarized connector. Had to replace the XT-60 on both the battery and the harness
gonna rip her around the neighborhood this morning, I'm excited

Finally getting the hang of going up curbs!
I'm getting the hang of the art of "going up curbs"
Super excited, just need to get it down and become more consistentCurbs are no longer a obstacle, only a mere pebble. Next is stairs, then after that. . .

RE: In The Wild, Photo Share (If Possible To Capture).... Keep Your OneWheel In The Shot If You Can.
Time for a Onewheel update!
(The school doesn't lock the gate to the track, so I ususally go there at night to ride around. The ground on the track makes my tire act weird, but it is fun acting like your racing other people!)The onewheel XR has been treating me well so far! It has turned from a cool toy to a tool in my life. My bike I have is good for getting to walmart and such, but bad for getting to classes due to it's footprint and how people congest both the sidewalks and the roads (No, seriously. People just walk in the middle of the street. It's dumb.) and the onewheel, with a massive speed reduction lets me weave past people if I have enough space.
The onewheel currently has stock everything except bumpers, tire (provided by @OneDanGT (Thanks man!)) and rear footpad. Next on the list is life savers for my rims because I ride this thing like a psycho at night or when there's lots of space and I'm going to start to learn tricks. The badger provided by @S-Leon (thanks man!) will be installed this week as well. I will try to design clips to attatch the LED strip to it.
Down the road, I will look into a battery upgrade, and finally either new rails or maybe even a VESC. After that, I'll water proof the board and I should be done with it for a long while!
Also, it's icing outside so that is going to severely limit my riding time. Ice isn't as hard as I thought, but braking with the bumper causes the onewheel to slide, and turning sometimes feels wack.

RE: Thank you
@lia The only thing I can really say is that whining doesn't really help anything, and it's better to look on the bright side.
I remember hearing something like it takes more energy to frown than to smile.
But thank you for making the forum in the first place! I wouldn't have a onewheel without you guys!

went on a trip in Colorado, brought Warstick with me

My mom bought a pint
So my mom decided that she wanted a Onewheel so she could ride with me
however, she didn't want to break the bank and wanted something easy, so I helped her find a used Pint.
We got lucky, and found one that had 114 miles at 600 dollars. we got even luckier, as I found out the battery had been replaced right before I picked it off of the guy I bought it off of, so we basically had a steal.Going to be teaching her how to ride it, but I'm not going to let her near my VESC (Warstick) as it has some problems and I need to fix a couple of things on it
We'll keep it stock, and probably by Christmas depending on how much she uses it, I might give her floatplates and a new tire

RE: Im looking for a replacement tire for a my one wheel pint
@jessejedi check thefloatlife.com and craft and ride's website
I would recommend a Burris or even The Enduro by The float life -
RE: ONEWHEEL S-SERIES RALLY BOARD
@sirgu yeah. 450 to get rails put on and releveled is a slap in the face. Not a huge one, but still a slap

RE: ONEWHEEL S-SERIES RALLY BOARD
@loaffette so it seems like they have new rails, that seems about it. They have a sort of tail/WTF combo tail setup. They are called Recurve rails
GT-S base price is getting dropped to 2,900 dollars -
