@onedangts My rationale is three-fold:

Firstly, I've been in the market for a new board for a long while now. I have family that likes to ride them when they visit, and my XR and Pint just aren't enough for everyone. I'm already pushing the limits on my XR so the time has come to upgrade, if only for safety's sake.

Secondly, I'm not really into tinkering, at least not enough to start a project board that I will have to maintain over time. I've got work and school, and between them both, my free time is at a premium.

Thirdly, the Funwheel has yet to develop a complete kit that suits my needs. The Floatwheel by comparison is very enticing, and I am still considering getting one, but the lead time and method of purchase isn't quite refined enough yet. The fragile plastic components also gave me pause.

Considering my use case and preferences, the GTS makes sense. I wanted something fast and reliable that my family and I can ride confidently at speed on mostly paved roads. The GT platform has an active aftermarket, which continues to develop, so I made my choice.

@lia smells like a campfire. never seen anything like it here.

same day, different vantage. good luck!

a very motion-blurred dusky photo of 2 very suburban deer - a doe n fawn - that i saw tonight. It's been very dry here so I think they were browsing for sprinklers. sry for the hand. i didnt want to disturb them by slowing down or stopping.

@s-leon i was out tonight gettin totally rad when this happened.

Seemed to have misplaced my old wrap. Chopped the toes off an old pair of Burton's.

Back to gettin totally rad!

would only ride it if

... i had a board leash!

Hi guys. I'm new to the forum.

@s-leon I ate my fair share of shit today! Was cruising around, enjoying the beautiful weather. I saw one of my neighbors walking down the street, so i took my eyes off the road for a moment, failing to notice an unusually deep pothole concealed by a tree shadow overhead. I hit the bowl like depression cock-eyed, the wheel rotates out from under me and i basically trust fall the pavement at a few mph. Knocked the wind right out of me! Just writhing around on the ground trying to catch my breath for a few minutes. Visited the ER as a precaution... Gonna be sore tomorrow but probably fine.

fancy

I'll try to reconstruct my prior playlist if only to clean up this thread. i'll try to keep the tracks deeeeep. Almost anything 80's and 90's is a hit with me.

like alt rock?
The Pixies-where is my mind, here comes your man, digging for fire, caribou, gigantic
janes addiction - jane says
Blind Melon - No Rain
Daniel Johnston was a mentally-ill gentleman who had an outsized influence on 90's PNW alt rock scene (ever heard of kurt kobain). here's a song Johnston wrote about a woman- hard time. Casper the Friendly Ghost is good too. i killed the monster, some things last a long time, Tell me now

like a little edge?
Misfits- if you can listen to any of these ur cool in my book. Saturday Night, Descending Angel is sorta mainstream but it's good. Last Caress is, umm, confusing to some not at least partially drawn to the edge but brilliant nonetheless. I like the 50's horror vibe lol. Theme for a Jackal too is great. worth perusing imo.

Not punk enough?
here's NOFX- Bob, linoleum, stickin' in my eye
offspring- the kids arent alright, why don't u get a job,
The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979. why'd i put it here? cuz punk don't follow rulez! Bullet with butterfly wings
rancid- red hot moon

too punk but u like the energy?
check out Sublime songs like Caress Me Down, pawn shop, what i got

not heavy enough?
dream theater- peruvian skies
incubus- vitamin, summer romance, stellar, drive,
ozzie - bark at the moon
metallica- ride the lightning
prong- snap ur fingers...
pantera- becoming

feeling moody?
Radiohead-Ok Computer (the album) is a masterpiece imo.
the smiths - heaven knows i'm miserable now, big mouth strikes again--- "now i know how joan of arc felt..." lmao. some girls are bigger than others is so weird but just beautifully composed.
the cure is soo good! Robert smith is such an amazing composer! pictures of you, lullaby, a forest, just like heaven

too moody?
dave matthews band- satellite, dreaming tree, grey street, bartender, the song jane likes

nuff of that soft shit! lets take it to the streets!
Mobb Deep - Survival of the Fittest, Quiet Storm, Shook Ones pt 2 is also a masterpiece.
Ante Up by MOP is rowdy and rawkus and i f-ing love it.
DMX. The intro song to the album "It's dark and hell is hot" still gives me goosebumps if u got the bass and high hats to appreciate it. That just might be because it was Tyson's entrance song- Boom Boom!
WuTang Clan ain't nothin to fuck with! especially when u got the bass for listening to da mystery of chessboxin'.
Method Man, Redman - Da Rockwilder

too east coast?
Tupac is what u need.

too gangsta? need something for date night?
Jodeci is awesome. heres a saucy one.
ginuwine- pony
Mark Morrison - Return of the Mack
Warren G - Regulate
unfortunately some of my other r&b favorites were indicted for sex crimes... so... available by request.

feeling a bit angry? disillusioned?
Tool is another gem. The album Aenema is- indefinable! It's a bit out there like the Misfits in terms of one's aesthetic tastes, but H., Pushit, Eulogy, stinkfist, Third Eye, Sober (thats on the album undertow)... parabol n parabola, Schism are great too. those are on the album lateralus. It's angry unbridled poetry. danny carey is one of the best drummers in the entire world!

continuing down the dial there is the eighties... an era of unparalleled musical diversity! such a fabulous array of incredible talent.
the first melody i play whenever i warm up to play music is the chorus to Alone by Heart- another masterpiece.
A Flock Of Seagulls - Space Age Love Song is another timeless relic.
Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up
steve winwood- back in the high life, higher love
a-ha - Take On Me
Modern English - I Melt With You
big country- in a big country. i have no idea what they're talkin about, but i like it!
R.E.M. - Shiny Happy People is not technically 80's but it's the end of the world is.
fleetwood mac is legendary. gypsy
mmmm meatloaf-i'd do anything. i still dont know what 'that' is...
the the - this is the day
Eddie Money - Take Me Home Tonight
Belinda Carlisle - Circle In The Sand, heaven is a place on earth
Eric Carmen - Hungry Eyes
blondie- the tide is high
pat benatar is a total badass! we belong, invincible, love is a battlefield
in fact i enjoy practically anything from the early girl bands from this era in music. there's just so much to cover, i might let others try to tackle it.

u like ur bands hairy?
the cult-she sells sanctuary, rain, fire woman
Def Leppard - Photograph, hysteria, love bites
aerosmith- water song (janie's got a gun), back in the saddle. steven tyler is like 80yrs old but still cool.

Arcade Fire - Creature Comfort
Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know

Recuerdos de la Alhambra

@s-leon said in Onewheel Neighbors:

Matthew seemed fine

it can be really intimidating at first, especially if u fall hard. backside anything is downright spooky.

im teaching an old snowboarding buddy of mine to ride the pint im now glad i didnt sell, n he was legitimately down for the count for two weeks after that first ride. joints swollen. sore muscles everywhere. no falling at all lol. for aging desk jockies looking to regain some adventure in their life, it can be like going to boot camp! u buy it, regret it briefly, then love it, then lose fear, then gain fear, then average out somewhere in between. or so ive heard.

@blkdout thunder rails! integrated half n halfs plus a big flashy buckle lol! fantastic!
