Glad you're feeling better today. Looking forward to another ride. This video brought back some memories. Looking forward to another trip to this place.
Yeah, that’s a fun area on the Tour. - Idaho 😊
Ok Marty. I've brought this up before. Let's talk ankle protection now. Again. Get rid of those damn work boots cause you have 1 more ankle injury left before you have to switch to mobility scooters
Pedal into the ankle is no joke... THAT HURTS!
I'm impressed that you got up and continued the ride. Especially not knowing the extent of your injury.
Hope your ankle is doing well. That cop on the bike path was trying to get your attention and you just blew by him haha. I love it.
Never stop unless forced to :-)
Nice job weaving though the people. Always saying "Thank you" when folks move...well done.
Thanks Larry
Thank for the European guys watching and having the miles to KM conversion done Marty! :)
Thank you for taking me on that ride with you. Good update.
Thank you for video! I watched it with pleasure. Take care of yourself.
Hiya Marty careful there doing off road stuff.. we want your ankle as 100% as possible.👍
Oh yeah!! Thanks Marty!!🙏
Thanks for taking me along Marty but it was tough to see you go down. RICE stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation. Speedy recovery my friend, we need you back pronto. 6 pac Gord
Thanks Gord 🙏
Maybe KingSong wouldn't crack an ankle, lol. Take it easy Marty.
Hi Marty, in the last minute of the video, you might think you're fishing too 😂 Get well soon!
Been using the X4 for the past 2 weeks after being on the X3 for the past 18 months. Video is really good. Big improvement especially sky fade. Get well soon!
Great to hear, thanks. Looking forward to eventually trying the X4
Ouch. Ankle sprain; Contrast Bath. Mildly uncomfortable but really effective. Bucket of hot water. Bucket of cold water. Plunge ankle into cold for one minute, then plunge it into hot about 4 minutes. Repeat about 20-30 minutes. Simplest terms it pushes new blood in and out by way of vasodilation. Not a doc but I am a coach in a sport with a lot of tweaked ankles. Hope it feels better soon. Love your content.
Thank you so much for the suggestions 🤜
That fall is sooo nerve wrenching…. 😂 I’m so thankful to just watch this videos… reinforced my love and respect for my bones and skin… and age 🤷🏻♂️
large size shoe + 2x gel foot insert = less ' standing ' fatuige !😂
INJURY = you move slow until it heals. Bone takes 5 years to fully heal.
Nuts. Seed. Berries. Water. Heal
Yay! I'm SMITHe
Love my Forma Terra Evo low boots. Plenty flexible to jump off and run if you need to, but they really keep your ankle from over flexing. I'm almost 60 and my last ankle injury took me a long time to get over and I'm not doing that again. I love these boots because of the protection yet again, if you lose control at low speed and need to run it out you're not gonna have any problems doing that with these boots. I think they are a perfect balance.
Thanks. I'll have to look at these. I remember considering the Adventure series but the ankle support wasn't very good.
I got mine out of box for 170 bucks and they were in perfect condition. You can adjust the tightness of those snap down buckles and your ankle is pretty damn locked in with your lower foot still feeling like it has plenty of space and is nice and cozy. I also get substantially less foot fatigue than I did in my earlier boots which had more flexible soles.
I just rolled my ankle again and heard multiple pops as I almost passed out from pain lol 😝. I had just pulled my hamstring and was rushing out the house with slippers on ! This left ankle of mine was broke playing little league in my teens , always rolls and I always think it’s broke again . Every time (so far ) sprained. I try to use a thin brace with a short wrap under my riding boots . Icon patrol 2 I love them . When they are destroyed I will get icon patrol 3 . Peace ✌🏽 love your tour rides every year !
I guess I need to get used to this :-) Thanks for the comment and nod to the tour!
Thanks Marty for the vlog video, very good and useful. It's good to take a look for some fancy areas with some comments from your side.
Hope that your ankle will recover very fast, sometimes the twisted ankle may be really bad (worse to heal than simple break).
I just bought X4, it's much more heavier than X, I'm curious if you will be able still to use this very long stick ;)
Soon I will upload some videos from X4, we will see how it will be handled by YT.
Keep it up!
Good luck with the X4. Let me know if you upload any 360 video in 8K - RUclips does support 8K now.
A dream area, beautiful to look at. I would also like to drive with you
Hell Marty - guessing that wouldn’t have been so much of a deal if you’d not had your earlier incident with the A2? Take care, we need you! 🖐🏻🏴🥃
Bummer that’s a terrible way to start a ride 😢 hope your ankle feels better soon! If you want me to test out the Falcon first to make sure it’s not another assassin wheel let me know 😆
The Falcon might be too much wheel for you Chris 😉
I think you’re right about the cost of production of any of these EUC:s is probably much less than the air shipping. Then again, they usually ship by ship in containers, so they make even more money that way. Really sorry to see your ankle is acting up again, wishing you a speedy recovery!
Keep in mind that they never pay for shipping (unless maybe they send a free wheel to someone and decide to pay for the shipping). Dealers always have to pay for the container shipping which is rolled into the final price that you pay.
@@ElectricUnicycles I should have realized that, thanks for the heads up.👍
I’m scared of that same thing and I’m just starting but I really want to start enjoying life again
Live life. Can't worry about what "might" happen 🙂
Forma adventure boots✅ or something comparable, are a necessity with modern heavy wheels of today IMO. Maybe grab a thrashed wheel laying around and practice some emergency dismounts lol Ghost riding stuff always makes for great entertainment 😂
I have some basic shin guards that wrap around the ankles it helps with pedal clips
In my case, the wheel fell on my ankle, twisting it. There's no actual impact (bruise, etc)
best wishes with your ankle
i broke both outboard metatarsals in separate bad step-offs owing in part to loose shoes. 3rd break was ankle "cheekbone" at bottom of fibula. (i'm 77) anyway i'm now dedicated to strong tight footwear. most offroad mc boots are too tall and stiff but the "tourmaster trailblazer" works just right for me. try them!
Thanks for the recommendation. Do those boots offer good side-to-side stiffness (for ankle support)?
@@ElectricUnicycles
yes "roll" is very limited; same for twisting. pitching-flexing up/down much more relaxed.
@marcboogay5013 Marc, what would you have done if you'd known sooner? What's the surgery criteria for your case and could you have limited the progressive nature of this injury better? What's your future EUC plans? Just curious to see what helps a torn metatarsal?
I feel you Marty, those new big EUC are heavier, i had a big crash a bit more than a month ago now with my Lynx and the wheel fell on my right knee and it broke with some stretching ligaments, so 90lbs right on my knee without counting the weight get heavier with the speed it was so damn painful i couldn't ride which was the most annoying part, im starting to get better i will probably be good to go this week. Get some rest Take care
**BTW i had all my gears and it just reminded me that the gears are not 100% fall proof.
Yeah, gear helps but as you discovered, it's no guarantee. Good luck with your continued recovery.
Thanks
gah you never want to hear an ankle crack! hope it recovers quickly.
The charging/discharging issue you're having with the ET Max is reminiscent of the Ninebot Z10. If you leave your wheel off the charger, does it continue to discharge, or does it reach a certain level of charge and then stay there?
It's nothing like the Z10 (which I owned). Only loses a couple of volts and then seems to stabilize.
Glad it wasn’t worse anyway! Not that I am any kind of expert on footwear but I definitely am interested in the Terra Forma EVO low boots. They seem like they might be a great compromise between a full motorcycle boot and something a little more flexible that you can still walk in. For what it’s worth
I've seen those boots. I seem to recall some reviews indicating that the ankle support wasn't very stiff. Undecided.
@@ElectricUnicycles I did see one video where the guy said that the Adventure Low model has a more flexible upper and the EVO low was better protection if that helps
after the crash the camera tilted so we could partially see the selfie stick. but it looks like ol' Marty is shaking a stick at me :D
Broken my ankle too Abram . Never road seated but i cant miss riding sooo that how i roll even tho leg broking in why we only crash at slow speed
Ouch! Sorry to hear that
On my ET Max I can only charge to ~163v. You should check your battery cells, I found that my left packs are charging fully but the right packs are only charging to about 90%.
I suggest street moto boots along with FREETOO Ankle Brace Maximum Metal Support
I haven’t ridden an EUC Yet! Would Motorcycle Boots work or would they be too stiff?
Motorcycle boots can certainly help, but they can be way too stiff because sometimes you have to jump off the wheel and run it out a little. Can't run in many of those boots so you trip and fall (which I've done) 🙂 I do want to get another pair of motorcycle/motocross boots but something with more flexibility.
Just goes to show Marty you have a broken picker!! 😂
Hello dear Marty, I would like you to tell us in your own words, why did you fall? (crash!)
Pleased you took the og sharp side pedals off, that could have been much worse. Good luck with leg.
Wishing you nice success and to be well.
Daaaamn, how long is that selfie stick?
9-feet
O no bud, not another ankle injury! No doubt we gotta pay mucho attention to terrain or off we go. Plus age isnt our friend as pain's a youngster game. Its the main reason why I shy away from airtime, much as I want to. One bad landing & bada bing bada boom, down & out for weeks. Its also another reason why I dont like doing dirt on the ex30. Much like this ET Max, the 110lbs of heft is far from optimal & oft times, I feel its taking me for ride instead of the otherway round. Much as I want to upgrade, I still hang on to the T4 despite its limitations as its so controllable, so playful & fun plus much easier to recover from mishaps
Far's new wheels, I'm somewhat optimistic bout the Blitz. Know somewhat thats testing it & he's impressed. Says its quicker (didnt say faster so take it for whats worth) than Lynx so it should be a good competitor atleast
Yeah, weight is not your friend in the dirt. As time goes on I'll probably do less trails so I can ride into the sunset of life 🙂
My t4 would never get a full charge. I was wondering if that was a safety feature to avoid overcharging 🤷♂️
Not a safety feature
Stop locking your feet down. When you crash you aren't able to leave the wheel, and the ankle suffers
My feet aren't "locked down". You want to see locked down? Look at riders like Roger 🙂
The big disadvantage of your big, even bigger wheels. No more mobility and you can only race straight ahead in the city like you normally do. How nice was the time when you flew through here so easily. One more reason for Falcon😂
Can we ride single wheeled balance devices and really use the word cautious 🤣
Another youtuber says there's a big difference between display speed and GPS speed. Is it true?
Yes. That's a well known "feature" on all EUC's. The display speed is usually too fast by 2 to 15% depending on brand and model.
... dude!!! I'll tell u this one more time.... GET SOME FUCKING BOOTS WITH ANKLE SUPPORT!!!!
what are ypur expectations on the upcoming veteran announcement?
Specifically, which announcement are you referring to?
@ElectricUnicycles I will need to try and find. I don't even know where it was , if it was a youtube short or Instagram ,Facebook or somewhere else. But there was a countdown timer post for some time this month or early next month that implied a new wheel announcement.
@@TheNazradin Well, I have heard nothing and I'd be somewhat surprised. Leaperkim does not release many wheels and the Lynx wasn't released that long ago. But I have no inside information at this time.
Stay safe Brotha! Anyone have any good EUC affiliate programs they recommend?
pause and go too 0:53
yikes, good your fine tho Marty!
Are heavy wheels to blame for some ankle injuries? Get well soon! Get your calcium in, or anything to help with bone density. Control your body weight etc.
No. I broke my ankle on the tiny A2. There's a bit of (bad) luck involved on how you fall. I weigh 158-pounds and drink lots of milk 🙂
We're still exploring long term body effects of euc riding. Thanks for documenting issues. I'm sure it'll help others when they get to where you're at.
Maybe you have to contact Begode to Calibrate the Battery.
I bought two Inmotion V12 and neither charged to the full charge of 100.8 to 101.3 volts.
I had to contact Jason through him I contacted Inmotion and they Calibrate the Battery both times.
Maybe it is the same with Begode?
Also another reason I say these EUCs and PEVs in general are way over priced.
$4,000 for a wheel that won't fully charge, not waterproof, have to buy after market things (pads/seats/lights) and we crash test dummies...and the riding specs are the same as a 125cc to 150cc Scooter...not to mention Chinese brands...They are waaayyy over priced.
No EUC on the market should cost more than $2500 MAX
These EUC lose $1000 value per year. The EX30 was $4000 last year...now they $2800 New
The Commander was $4000 two years ago, now it is $2400 New
Thanks. Regarding Begode, we know what the issue is - the power distribution board. It's not something that can be fixed by software.
Is that "ankle crack" self diagnosed? I feared the video would end in like a doctor's office or something. I'm sort of relieved it didn't... as long as it's not too bad.
I was referring to the cracking sound that I heard when I fell. Fortunately, it is feeling much better today, but it is still very sore
I know everyone has helpful ideas for you now. mine is weight training. to strengthen your bones and joints, prevent future injuries.
Even though supposedly your ankle bones are stronger now than they were before the break, right?
anyway lifting with real weight forces your bones to become more dense.
Thank you
Do you ride your commander mini much?
"Much" is relative since I have a lot of wheels. But last week I rode it a few times for a total of maybe 20-miles.
@@ElectricUnicycles guess I should have asked if there was a reason/purpose for choosing to ride the commander mini, and does it rate in the top 3 or 4 of your riding choices
I thought Et max goes 100 miles distance on full charge but you said it's not long range.
100-miles with the ET Max??? Impossible (unless you're riding at 10mph). At moderate speeds it's a ~50-mile wheel at best.
@@ElectricUnicyclesewheels shows 100 miles for ET Max. I just ordered one so this is concerning because I thought it was long range like the master pro
@@tomford1611 EWheels (and other dealers) are notorious for publishing inflated numbers. That's why you should track what the community actually says about a wheel. I have range information on my channel and other channels also have realistic numbers. If I had to slap a single range number on the ET Max, I put 50-miles.
It's absolutely nothing like the Master Pro when it comes to range. Master Pro easily gets double the range of the ET Max.
scare tissue can sound like that
😢 1000x 🎯
Real boots. Talk to your Podiatrist.
Probably like 99% of the population, I don't have a podiatrist 🙂
@@ElectricUnicycles Get one. Go to a Motorcycle Shop and get a pair of Motocross boots.
You look a little weak out there buddy. I suggest doing some weight lifting and lots of leg exercises, to make you strong! Just my 2cents. Don't forget to eat lots of protein rich foods. Good video.
I'm sure you never fall. It's a good position to be in 🤜
Everyone falls riding EUC except that some falls often than others! Lol! Be safe out there bud!
First
You probably just rode around a trillion dollars of real estate.
LOL
Time to slow down old timer and focus on sit riding. No shame..
LOL
34:30 walk your bike in this area, even has a cop monitoring it. did he whistle?
Yeah, the cop tried to get my attention. I was talking to the camera so I didn't notice him at the time. Generally best to not stop if you don't have to. If you're wearing a helmet it's easy to say "I didn't notice/hear you" 🙂 (which is true in my case).
