- We will grow old but we don't have to grow up. I teach my mother, who has 8 grandchildren, how to ride the Onewheel. If she can do it, so can you! Special thanks to my mom for being a good sport!

What an awesome lady! You're a great teacher Jimmy
My mom is requesting a digital shaping mode called senior citizen. Can that update be done before Christmas? She says she will get a Onewheel once that is available.
@@freshlycharged call it turtle trainer. :-)
@@freshlycharged did they add this?
At closing in on 66 I’m learning to ride the OneWheels and added an electric scooter to accompany my OneWheeling family on their longer adventures. My daughter taught me on both a Pint and the XR at a soccer field to start, full safety equipment certainly decreases the anxiety of falling, but the same increase in confidence occurred with my 8 year old grand once she had her properly sized gear. And I agree with your Mom, stretching before riding really helps with flexibility.
I'm soon to be 74 years old & have 200 plus miles carving on my Pint in the first four months after getting it. Okay, it helps that I used to surf, in-line skate, ice skate & still ride my skateboard. I also use more safety gear than I would have as a younger person. Getting comfortable going backwards was a challenge, but I'm there now. Not for everyone I know, but I sure love it!
TIL Jimmy Chang gets his adventurous spirit from Momma Chang! Very awesome of you to spread the stoke to the wiser generation. Keep on!
your mom looks much younger, than she is. I like your calm teaching style. This is good for beginners.
Thanks!
the apple doesn't fall far from the tree....both you....great job !!
Great Job Jimmy. I am 60 and appreciate your mom's energy and your training expertise. Awesome - both of you.
I'm from Utah, I know a LDS church when I see one. It's a good staging area for sure. Your mom is awesome. X3
This is so sweet, Jimmy. Your mom rocks!
I'm 52 year old woman whose four kids are finally adults and I used my virus reorg downtime getting healthier I learned to ride the hoverboard, I sure wish I could buy a one wheel at my local Target or Sporting Goods store in Kenosha, WI !
Your mom is awesome
Your mom is awesome!
I think so too!
What an adorable adventurous lady! Nice job! Great instructions!
Thanks Chuck!
I'm two minutes in and this is so awesome already.
...Cheers Grandma!
She says thanks. I'm ordering her some flight fins right now. ;)
Great video and gives me the confidence to buy the OneWheel, I'll be 63 this year!
Way to go Grandma Chang! I taught my mom, to ride too! She's a grandma and 67!
I find the "jump to get off" method risky since some people have a hard time jumping evenly with both feet so the board can take off underneath them. What I tell people instead is to roll all the way back on their heels so the board slides onto its side.
Thanks Jer! Nice work to your mom too! Great tip with the roll/slide. Problem is the Float Life grip tape is so grippy, I don't think the slide part would be very effective.
@@freshlycharged Good to know, thanks. I was just eyeing the TFL Grip Tape; extra grippiness sounds like a good problem to have!
Jimmy, your mother is absolutely awesome!
I'll tell her you said that.
I hope she continues to do well. Our elders are a blessing and most of the Western world seems not to understand that these days, which is very sad.
Congrats Mam you looked to be having fun. I'm heading 60 and a onewheel will be coming soon. Younger folk need to realise Age is not a barrier, but just a number. None of us get any younger. Dont regret you never tried something but instead embrace the challenge none of us are coming back for a 2nd chance anytime soon. Thanks for sharing Jimmy. :-)
I love it! Welcome to the Onewheel family! Embrace the challenge, just make sure to take it easy! Like anything worthwhile in life, the Onewheel takes work and practice!
Your mom is absolutely adorable ! Let’s see a follow up!
That's so cool. I admire your mom and I hope I still have a positive outlook on life when I'm that age 💪
You gooooo girl!!! I just got one...it just looked toooo coool....this will help me...and you are right...i am left handed, but right footed...
Your Mom ROCKS! So cool. Thanks for the share! Now go buy her one so you can ride around together!! )
Ha! She said she'll get one as soon as they have a senior citizen version!
Brother Chang! I knew there was a reason I liked you! Love the LDS church setting! Looks like this in Miami too! Way to go mom! 🤙
Go Grandma! I saw all of my Grandparents during Thanksgiving I week this year, and all of them refused to try my OneWheel!
Ask them during New Year's after they've had a little to drink! Lol!
Great video Jimmy! Nice job Jimmy's mom, you go!!!
Keep it up youngsters :-) I'm 74 and ride a Euc but its all good. I had to practice a lot but now i even ride in the snow. I put on all the safety gear (i wear protection when i ride) ha. Have fun!
74! Love it.
Jimmy your mom is awesome! Great vlog. Nice editing.
Thanks man. It's been fun learning how to make videos. It's almost as fun as the Onewheel!
I'm sending this video to my mom! I can't even get her to get on an E bike, so maybe this will help motivate her. What an amazing video Jimmy!
I have a onewheel and I’m 61 yrs old.
Go for it. Im 74 and on my 2nd wheel. Euc but choice is good. I really get around town. I dont have a car so this just expands my zone. One thing i still need to do exercise cause the better i ride the less exercise i get. Follow the fun and learn how to fall, I'm a great faller.
Your mom is funny. I like her. Gutsy too. Very well done.
Thanks Bill. How do you like the Boosted Mini? I'm curious about the electric skateboards.
I enjoyed it very much. But am personally liking the one wheel a bit more. My fiancé is now learning the Mini. She’s never been on a board ever and is doing well. I’ll have a video of her riding and learning soon. I am horrible at the OW on grass though. I need a lot more practice. Lol. The balance board you have is awesome too though after the purchase of the Ow. It’ll have to wait. How long have you been riding?
@@thebigbilltheory4388 I've been riding for about 5 months now. Have over 1000 miles logged. Never did skateboarding previous. Practice, practice, practice as my mom would say and you'll figure out the grass. I subbed your channel and look forward to seeing your future videos!
Jimmy Chang THANK YOU for the follow. That’s awesome. I barely touched boards as a kid. I was a rollerblade kid. Lol. But am extremely enjoying the OW. I did like the BB Mini but tried this by accident and loved it. Only complaint I have and not sure where the issue is...but connection to the app is pretty lousy. Took me 10 min of playing around to change my setting on the board. But I’m officially no longer on the first mode. Lol.
Great brother. You are am awsome grandchild!
How great! Congrats to your mom, who seems like an awesome person.
Love your videos. Count me in the camp who finds your voice soothing, not boring. :-)
You rock! Thanks for watching!
Wow, good job Grandma👍
Great job Grandma!
This is absolutely awesome and inspiring. Not just saying it, I got my onewheel today!
Badass grandma.
Reppin' the Y on the Onewheel. I love it.
Very nice video! You are awesome Hahn! I really admire your bravery!!! Your classmate from Bac-Ai, Ha Loi.
wow...your mom is a boss bruh. nice video
Go gettem Granma! Good for her for even trying....I actually left my OneWheel for a moment (in a public area) and someone thought it was one of those balancing boards (shown in the beginning of your video). Good thing it wasn't on...but the person innocently thought it was there for a little exercise. I was cracking up....
I am almost 70 and I just got back from Walmart with a bag of groceries...on a OneWheel!
Great stuff! Ride on.
How can this vid have 11k watches and 299 likes?!?! So great, love it!
Thanks for the support!
How sweet. Great video!
Thanks for the support Cecil.
This was fantastic. She’s so rad
"I don't need your help, mom!" hahahaha! Awesome video :)
Thanks Parker!
im right footed but i dont put it on the back. Always done it that way since i was a kid
I'm thinking I was taught incorrectly. I'll have to correct this. Regardless, my mom will be riding regular and goofy with ease in no time.
@@freshlycharged No i dont think its wrong. Most people that are right footed go regular. I aways think of it more with the shoulder finding it easyer to turn it in one direction. Going switch i want to lead with my wrong shoulder making it really hard. I don't know if i'm making sence lol. Good vid all the same keep up the good work!
No, you don't make sense!!! You could even watch the official Onewheel videos and the dominant foot is always on the front!!! That's the foot that you use to steer!!!
@@TheEconomicElder
Super cool mom!!!
Great job!
@JimmyChang
Sir, this video is a year old today, and I am watching this now. To let you know it was because of your video's that I did buy a OneWheel Pint, on the Black Friday Sale(2019). To that end I have received my Pint, and I have been practicing my balancing on the unit.
To note: new OneWheel riders, the Grip Tape is VERY rigid, so make sure you wear a shoe that is good at supporting your ankles. Also, the Pint does not come with a CUSTOM mode on the app, so start off in Redwood Mode at first, this will help with injury prevention while you learn. Also make sure to enable/leave SimpleStop on.
Also for those who are nearing the 40 year old mark (like me) and/or on the husky side (again like me) this mode is great for getting you outdoors and moving. But do take note that at 230lbs, and 5'5 I find it hard to dismount with the jump. So, I enable the slow down tactic, and engage the pushback to help me stop. Yes I have already taken a tumble, so just make sure you are wearing:
Helmet
Wrist
Elbow
Knee
Protective equipment.
Also as this will be used with a backpack, I make sure to have my backpack on when I am riding so I will know the difference when riding. This helps a lot with my balance.
In closing I want to thank you for all the videos that you make, it really is very helpful for me to learn to live the FLOATLIFE>
Hi Jimmy. Is your mom still riding? I'm 73 and have been watching your videos for the past couple of days. I don't know why I couldn't ride a onewheel, but knowing other senior citizens are riding would be encouraging. Love your videos. Keep up the good work!
Also 73 & I've got over 200 miles on my Pint. If you get one, start out conservatively & wear the safety gear... (as we don't heal as fast as 20 year olds). By the time you learn to carve, you'll really be stoked! Just don't push yourself too quickly. Master each level as you go from the basics to edgier stuff.
@@tedhax I ended up buying an EUC, but good advice all the same. I'm taking it slowly and fully geared up always.
Love your videos, but I have a couple of years on your dear old mom. I learned at 70 and am approaching 73 in April. I have 3 Onewheels and hope to get a EUC this year.
I’m excited to learn
I've met grandma Chang she is a really funny and cool person
We need to get you on the Onewheel!
YES! Im so down! I was actually totally thinking that i would love to make a vid and get on it sometime soon
Fantastic!
Cool video and a great grandma! =)
I don't know if the dominant foot should go to the back. I really like the method of braille, imagine that you're running and then sliding on ice, the foot that goes to the front should be in the front.
Yeah, I think I was taught incorrectly. The internet has mixed information depending on who you read. I'll have to correct this in the next video. Thanks!
@@freshlycharged in the end you should ride the way you're most comfortable with! =) But when I introduce skateboarding or any other fun sport devices to friends the "sliding on ice"-method never let me down! But I don't know how much your grandma is sliding on ice.. :D
Greetings from Germany!
Great, I will definitely get one now
That awesome that she doing it soon she will be out there floating with her grandchildren
Ha! Not sure if I can take it. I think I'm more nervous than she is when she's riding!
@@freshlycharged she has a good teacher and she seems like she is excited to be riding the onewheel. Atleast you are teaching her safety first and to start slow. Hope to see more updates.
my mom rode my OW too! she's 63!
Maybe they should have a senior citizen group ride together!
@@freshlycharged 😂😂😂 too bad they don't get a senior citizen discount if they buy one lmao (or maybe they do i'm clueless)
That is so awesome!
We use our dominant foot in the front... I think this is the first time I’m hearing dominant foot in back...?
(Go, GRANDMA!!!) :)
Awsome!!
This is so wholesome, I love it
Delightful!
This is the video I had to see!
Great video!
Hmm, I put my dominant foot on the front of the board and I ride totally fine.
I always thought dominant foot was to be in front -shrug-
Your mom is great~! I love her enthusiasm... I do have an unrelated question. I see your mom using balance board and I'm really curious about that... I have a standing desk but many times I end up seating on my high chair... I'm looking for a way to stand up more... which will also help with my OW pint riding... haha thx in advance~!
超赞，多美的家庭👍
Great video man! Name of the song at the beginning??
Love how you did this. 😂. Is she still riding?
I was just heading my ward Gym to practice. lol
Nice review ! i don't think my mom wants try my OW ! Are you make a flight fins reviews ( specially for carving ) ?
Possible review in the future.
Great video as always! One question, I was under the impression your dominant foot should go on the front footpad not the rear. Is that an incorrect assumption?
Your grandma is great! However, why did you let her dominant foot at the back?? Dominant foot should be in the front of the Onewheel!!
Interesting. Have I been doing it all wrong? I'll have to correct this in the next video and reteach my mom all over again! Really, I just wanted to push my mom. ;)
www.wikihow.com/Determine-if-You%27re-Regular-or-Goofy-Foot............... GO to Section 2.......... I was looking into this and Chang is right, we are just freaks
My right is dominate but I ride goofy 🤔
Snapper Stylz that’s normal! My right foot is dominant too and I ride goofy! That’s the way it’s supposed to be!
@@stealtherider3008 70% of the world’s riders are regular, and only 30% are goofy. Much like your writing hand, the right foot is also controlled by the left side of the brain. This side of the brain is better at spatial control, which is why most people are regular riders.
You're not "normal" you're just weird. XD i'm joking of course, do what you like.
Your Mom learned easier than me.. I fell a lot..
I kick the ball with my right foot, but my dominant foot is left :/
Yeah, I'm finding mixed information on the internet. Some sites so it the way I was taught but most do it the opposite. I'll have to correct this in a future video. Thanks!
pint is so much better cause of simple stop, much safer board
Hey Jimmy, I'm about to get a onewheel and I'm trying to find some of those wrist guard gloves, what are they called and where can I find them?
oneradwheel.com/safety-gear-i-wear-for-the-onewheel-euc-and-other-electric-rideables/
@@freshlycharged Awesome, thank you
很好。 Anyone can ride. Old, young, veterans, even a guy with no legs like Rowdy.
I've never skated snowboarded or rollerbladed how hard would it be for me to learn?
will we get a follow up seeing her skills now?
I'll see if she's game!
Is that motor really that loud?
Hell Yah !!!
I’m right foot dominant but, skate, snowboard and one wheel goofy.
I hope your limit to walking speed.... All good to go...
Oh yeah. I was always by her side like a secret service agent ready to jump in and save her from a nosedive!
I've never understood dominant foot goes in the back. If your dominant foot is the right foot, then shouldn't that be your lead foot? It's the foot you put forward. I've always rode my skateboard and now my Onewheel with my right foot in front as it feels more natural this way; because if I were to fall, or kick a ball, my right foot would be in front.
The video is wrong. Dominant right foot means you’re “goofy” foot so your right foot goes in the front. He rides his backwards I guess.
Wait do u live in Utah?
what wrong with her right shoe, looks torn near right foot thumb area...
Very astute pick up! She has had a toe problem for months and has seem a number of specialists with no success. She finds that cutting open the top of her shoes right at that area helps to relieve the pain.
BYU? Y’all LDS?
hi
👍🏼👍🏼❤️
Uh yeah...the oldest individual on a OW...have you applied to Guiness?? Lol
your mom dont look like a grandma compared to other grandmas - asian and black dont crack
