Your daughter's ability to ride and purge at the same time is oddly inspiring.
Omg so funny, lmao. Rock n Roll, wooooo!
I read this comment before i saw that scene and assumed “purging” was some kind of skating term 😂😂nope!!!
I’ve never seen someone so casually throw up 😂
I think there’s no need to blur the purge :-)
Great review! I'm 61 and am approaching 2000 miles for my 6 month anniversary... I NEVER get tired of riding this thing! I play golf on it (6 miles/3-4 times per week), I watch for low tides so I can ride the beach on it (last 3 days in a row), I do my volunteer trail maintenance on it, and I just ride it around the neighborhood nearly every day (6-12 miles loops). Almost all done injury free!
You are my inspiration! Keep it up!
Aloha Richard, I just purchased a Onewheel & was wanting to use it playing golf ⛳ too. Do you use a slick or treaded tire? How is it on the grassy hills? Any words of advice? Luv surfing, snowboarding & pickleball @ 59. Mahalo 🤙🏽
This is crazy. Just stumbled across your video after owning an XR for a week. I live in Florida now but moved from NYC and worked for the Statue of Liberty.
When you pass that Statue Cruises boat, that was me on the 2nd deck tying the line. I know for a fact because I saw you riding past and always wanted a OneWheel but couldnt justify getting it in NY at the time. I clearly remember seeing you ride by and thinking to myself how cool that was.
Thats a full circle moment for me seeing this video 3 years later.
Incredible! Thanks for sharing!
Hey we got into the onewheel XR the same year! One thing I wish they would add is a function to limit the power output so that even at full “throttle” u will never have to worry about getting pushbacks/nosedives. Constant pushbacks coming up during my cruise forces me to slow down, gather myself, and get back into the flow of the ride. An artificial limit will ensure I can fully focus/enjoy my ride and not having to worry about if I’m going too fast and am approaching the limit of the motor
What an excellent idea, I would love an “its-slow-but-impossible-to-nose-dive” function in the app. Even if they limited the top speed to 50%.
That would be amazing....12-15mph is plenty of speed for me...if I could put a limiter on it and not worry about getting going to fast and nose diving I woimd be a happy dude...at 250lb it's really easy for me to overwhelm the board.
Maybe jimmy could bounce the idea to future motions if he gets a chance to talk to them
@@mitchpowell608 that answers a question that i had I'd probably have trouble with it then.
OutdoorsIQ isn’t that essentially what the pint is?
'$1800?!' Immediately goes to get on it. Errr..nah..brah!
But eventually that Onewheel bug will eat at him and he'll find a way to justify the cost. We all do.
@@freshlycharged Waiting for Black Friday lol

he wanted it
Take America Back From Isяael too long
@@thomas3793 Yeah its a ways off... I have a new 3200 watt Quiewa Q power kick scooter to hold me over till then..I think
Good video man I always love watching your videos and they always bring a smile to my face. I’m saving up for a one wheel pint and I’m so mad that I can’t have one sooner. I watch your videos because my passion and love for one wheels need to be filled with information and comedy. I’m honestly surprised you don’t have more subscribers with the quality of your videos. Keep making videos and I hope you have a good rest of your life
as always, thanks for keeping the stoke up for me, totally envious of the bicycle lanes available that allows for safer riding around the city. well wishes to your fam bam to get well
Thanks for all your videos, Welcome to the east coast, hope your family feels better soon.
Cool video! Snowboarding season here in Switzerland took an abrupt end. So I ordered my XR a few days ago. Shipment alone was $200, but damn I’m stoked about it. 🤩
Another great vid Jimmy. Your daughter's a champ.
Thanks Ben!
dude your daughter's hardcore as hell 😂 "yeah im down to ride" blaaaaauuuggghhh "woah you okay??" "oh nah im good!" blaaaaauuugggghhh 😂 "youre not good lets go home" "aww man" 😂
Great stuff JC....I am a new OW owner and watch all you vids. Big fan here, you have taught many.
Thank you for sharing this awesome video. I was curious about the one wheel, but the great content and video of lower Manhattan was just as cool to watch. Thank you for all your tips.
I know it’s easy to just say “yeah I agree with ya, Jimmy!”, but that’s honestly how I feel. You touched on a lot of the key points about what makes these devices so special. I love em both!
Pick something; anything, put on safety gear, and go for a ride. It’ll change your life 😊
Thanks Vache! Congrats on the new gig!
Jimmy Chang thank you! It’ll be a change of pace that’s for sure lol. Hopefully one of your Vegas conventions will be held there!
Really like watching your stuff Jimmy. It definitely helps me with my channel. Thanks man!
I love your videos and feel the same way! Absolutely addicted to these electrical devices
Sorry your daughter's sick, but that was pretty awesome that she's didn't even seem to miss a beat on the wheel while depositing breakfast on the pavement. Get well soon :)
I love my pint .... still ranked 29th in consecutive days ridin at 72 days.... 375 miles on it so far ... switching to Hoosier treaded wet tyre at like 500 miles.. great channel and review
What had you (personally) pick the pint over the xr, if you don’t mind me asking?
@@boogsly Im not him, but I did the same. For me it was primarily the price. I could've bought the XR, but I live in a city with everything within a range of 4-5 miles, so the pint is plenty range for me
@@jeppesloth9910 Haha thanks for the reply - I live in the country, so I went with an XR. Already at 91 miles in the < 2 weeks I've had it! Glad I went with it, since I'm really loving the range on it, and the speed is fantastic (I've gotten up to 25.6 mph! somehow). Also the length/size makes it feel a lot like my snowboard, and I'm not worried about any major potholes I encounter.
@@boogsly Awesome to hear that you're enjoying it! That top speed is sick, hope you stay safe ;)
Started on a pint this Christmas, quickly moved onto a used XR with less than 60 miles on it. Haven’t ridden the pint much since and loving the XR. Started doing trails which is another experience entirely from riding street.
Sell the pint to me?
New subscriber and future Onewheel enthusiast here. Love your videos and in depth reviews. With the insight of your reviews and other RUclipsrs, I'm planning to buy a new XR in the next month. Keep on floating friend!
PS - Hope your family is recovered and feeling better!
I've had mine for a week now and I love it.
Nice!!!! Hitting 11,000 on my XR (got it June 2018) & Today and it’s my birthday, float on! 🎂
I enjoyed the 20 month review :)
What repairs have u made?
One year this month for me 😎. Great video Jimmy, thanks for sharing!
...becomes an extension of my body and soul. 100% true! Thx for this video, JC.
I'm a Skateboarder and I finally got a OW. But this is a completely different vibe than skateboarding this is more like surfing or snowboarding on land so I'm still getting a feel for it I've only had it since Xmas and work 50/60hrs weekly but this thing is so much fun it's not about how fast you go but where you can go and this things goes all over and no more worries about pebbles in the street!
Great vid Jimmy! I’ve had my XR since last summer 2018. Was going to get a Pint, thank goodness I did not. I’m old, turning 50 here. This just take me back to the days of skateboarding with homemade parts and feeling like that kid again. Just the joy of feeling free is probably the most important. I have a boosted but the turn radius on it compared to the OW+XR is night and day, not to mention the smoothness of any terrain you’re on. Boosted was just to stiff and having a remote to rely on was different. This is mind and device connection, you think and it goes where you want. This is the best electric vehicle ever and without the range issue you get with a Pint. It is one of the best investments I’ve made. Thanks again!
Completely agree. Money can't buy happiness but it can buy a Onewheel which provides unlimited smiles. Keep on floating!
Hank and Southpaw, completely agree. Great device. An amazing machine of fun.
love my pint. XR seemed big and stiff when I tried it but sure it’s just getting used to it
I have owned my Onewheel XR for a few hours....I think I have a total of several dozen meters of distance traveled. Looking forward to building that in the coming days and weeks before snow sets in here in Utah. I have been watching and wanting one for well... ever. Bit the bullet yesterday and took one home. Been kinda hard to find cool stuff since the covid came to visit and created all sorts of blocks to getting one sooner! Thanks for your videos and tips! I know the feeling you describe in your early video from the "wobble" wipeout. I also ordered a balance board to train while "sitting" at my desk "working"! I guess I'm that typical 40 something year old dude that buys a Onewheel! Time to take back my shape! ;>)
Been riding for about 4 months. 600 miles on my XR but just had a gnarly nose dive going 18.4 mph. Let’s just say I now have more respect for my onewheel. Lol. Great vid Jimmy!
9 mins in man, thought I was watchin Slydog. Keep it up dude, loving the soundscape, abso lovin it. Stay safe man, float on..
20 months at 20th of Feb 2020. Coinsidence? I think not! ;-)
"I dont want you to get hurt". Classic. And he put it in the video too!
I hope everyone is feeling better. Your daughter is a gamer going out there and even trying while really sick. Reminds of the time I threw up on my cross country coach after running in the sectionals even though I was sick. I get the "home-made" comment from time to time but not very much anymore. There are a lot of Onewheels running around the San Francisco Bay Area. I see them frequently while commuting on my scooter in San Francisco. I have very few miles on my Onewheel but keep it because the few miles I do have on it are like no other PEV I own. Keep up the great work Jimmy!
All better now. The rest of the trip was great.
I owned a pint and I've had it for half a month and I've never grown tired of it it is so fun
Great video. I agree about the safety thing. I'm surprised that the manufacturer didn't incorporate small wheels on the front as a standard, instead of relying on some aftermarket company to make their product safer. I don't care how macho people think it is to kiss the pavement or break your collarbone . If you manufacture a device that is motorized and a sudden motor control system failure will throw the operator to the ground, that is a problem that should make their engineers lose sleep. An audible alert would be a good start. My son just did a nosedive on the pavement, thank goodness he only received a few scrapes. Onewheels are such a great invention and idea. The fact that people wipe out, but still want to get right back on says alot about how great the experience is. I ordered a set of fangs and made sure my son backs off when pushback happens (I explained it over and over before it he nosedived). The bad thing is that a sudden control failure (electronic/electrical failure) would not give you any feedback and you would nosedive anyway, so in my mind small wheels in the front are a no brainer.
Good ride, helpful information. I hope to share my ride experience after I get one, which should be in a few days.
Had my XR since Xmas 2018 and it’s changed my life 180
How so mate ?
Your voice is so soothing
Man JC is great at dealing with inquiries 😂
Another banger video Jimmy!!! However, we gotta talk about these calls for heavier pushback. From what I’ve seen, pushback makes nosedives way more dangerous. When pushback happens and the nose comes up, people instinctively want to get the board to level out so they put more and more weight on their nose. By the time the nose finally gives out, a persons entire weight is on their lead foot making it so you hit the ground a lot faster. If the board was more leveled out when the nose gave out you would be more centered over the wheel, and it would give you a much better chance of saving it or at the very least an easier run out.
Good points. In the EUC world, once you past set thresholds, the pedals do something called tilt back, the equivalent to push back. I find it very effective. Of course, it's harder to overcome the tilt back compared to the OW given the physics of your stance on an EUC and the bigger reserve power in most EUCs... depending in where you set it on the app. Got any suggestions on how to help prevent nosedives?
@@freshlycharged Yeah man, seems like that would be really helpful on an EUC for some tactile feedback. I'm starting to come around on an audible warning as long as it can be disabled for seasoned riders. I think the best solution would be something like a rider profile where you have to "unlock" more advanced shapings. For example, you have to ride 20 miles before you can get out of sequoia, 100 miles before you can access mission, etc.
I’d probably be all about one if these if I lived in nyc, but here in Denver, a small 250cc motorcycle has been my most versatile vehicle.. still small enough to part on sidewalks but fast enough to hop onto the highway for a stretch. Gas costs me maybe $5/week and I never have to worry about range or charging or anything.
oh wow dude, your daughter is a trooper !
The only disagreement, and i know i'm weird, is, i love the Did you make it? question. I guess that's because i make stuff. I actually work hard at making my stuff look scruffy and rough. I once had a salesperson shed a tear because i took a brand new kevlar Eddie Larson Bell helmet out back of the bike shop, scuff it up with sand paper, and paint it flat black. Still have that helmet, never locked it. Now, i'm not letting my XR out of my site, but i think you get the idea. Love your videos. Thanks as always.
Aww your daughter's a trooper! 😊 She sounded like she still wanted to ride in spite of being ill- hope she still got to see the sights.
Nice review though. I see what you did there! "OW, the best wheel that you stand on sideways"- not trying to irk front facing EUC enthusiasts i see lol. As for me, I love my EUC but seeing vids like this reminds me that OW has a lot going for it. Personally if i were to buy one i'd lean more towards the Pint than the XR because the battery seems more flight friendly.
She actually rode about a mile more after that scene before feeling completely out of energy. We had to take an Uber back with the onewheels.
I just put an XR on layaway just 1500 bucks to go!! I cant wait..
good perspective Of what it looked like before.
Yo! Thanks for the warning! Great video! Thanks for watching out for people like me, man!
Looks like a blast! I wish I was 30 years younger so when I fall I don't break a hip.
Completely agree jimmy :)
Super useful video. Well done!
The look of the cops at 12:10 killed me X'-D
It's so much quieter without the fender! I'm debating taking it off completely
I just ordered mines yesterday. Should be here in a week. I’m not letting anyone ride it.
I have to disagree about the look of the XR. I think the ‘made in your garage’ look of it is what makes it look so cool.
Absolutely my thought exactly...its an aesthetic
Poor kid. I hope everyone recovered. She felt the stoke too hard!
Stoke overdose!
Chainsaw carving!? I ride my XR and do some carving as well. Be safe Jimmy!
I’ve noticed that some of these have flat boards for the feet, and some have boards that slant up or get wider at the outside. The ones that get thicker toward the outside appear to be made of plywood. Looks like yours is one of those. Perhaps that helps onlookers to suspect that you built it yourself, because... who would spend $1800 on some something made of plywood!!? I mean... the rest of the design looks a little home made too, but the plywood edges really bring it home.
Hi Jimmy, I still love my XR and I'm about 1,300 miles in on it. I agree with the points you made. It look like you had the world on your shoulders for a minute there by that statue, LOL.
I'm like Atlas.
@@freshlycharged that's alot of bull
@@mikeintampa250 I'm just following that old saying to, "grab life by the balls"... Or was it by the horns?... 🤔
Nice review, I hope your daughter is feeling better.
I’ll start watching now
That sickness was the time of c19 but no one knew. I happy you guys are ok.
That was clever, saying you didn’t want the guy to get hurt👀 I gotta write that down
I'd like more Pinty features on the XR, and I wouldn't mind other safety features.
I'm telling you though, if you put a FF Whisper on your XR and get it to around 24-26psi, you'll add another 5 miles or so to your range, increase your safety headroom a decent amount, and notice a much quicker response from the motor.
It really does change the nature of the whole board.
That will be my tire when I eventually get to changing it!
7:18 just bought a peloton. Last month and just ordered my onewheel minutes ago lol
How is it for you
Great ride man!
I love my XR even more than I thought I would when I bought it last year. While I'm all for safety, I would hate stronger pushback. I wish that you could adjust the level of pushback or even turn it off. An audible or vibration warning could be good options too.
What do you mean by pushback?
Carlos Martinez when you reach a certain speed (14 mph pint, 16 mph XR) the nose of the board lifts up letting you know that you're reaching the limits of the board.
got a V1 for 500 bucks last summer. Best 500 bucks I ever spent and saving for an XR after getting the pint.
Also the price you mentioned is way better than here in Canada. It was on sale for $2,600 + taxes and Shipping and a helmet cost me over $3,000
Awesome review and unbias info
Vomiting while OneWheeling? That takes skill!
nice job bro! i just hit a year as of valintines day with 3000 mi on it.
Killing it! What a great Valentine's!
omg your onewheel looks so clean +_+ my one is get so many hurts so sad that
Gotta say that's a nice logo.
Great video! What song at 10.50? When you were at Chelsea?
I got my first skateboard a few days ago and now I see this.
Having owned my first onewheel for one month today I can say my honeymoon is NOWHERE close to over. Having had to practice on snow ice and pebbles because of winter has forced me to learn to relax my ancles and knees a lot and I have had 0 nosedives so far and 100km done. Onewheel makes walking feel so dial-up. No thanks when our feet deserve fiber! ;-)
Looking forward to the summer and clean pavement
One month in?! The wedding night is still going strong for you two.
riding on grass will help you improve.
@@ken-mb5cp what grass? you mean that soft wintery rainy sludge outside? :-)
but yeah in the summer by then I'll be supercharged with training on slippery abd bumpy surfaces so much I won't need grass. :-)
BaQu82 yeah that too :))
Nice review ! do you think a new model XR 2.0 will arrive this year ? are you in contact with FM
Love the video. I’ve been thinking on getting a Onewheel. But I do not which one should I get. I am 6’3” and 220 lbs. Do you guys think Pint model would hold me and perform well? Or should I go for the XR? Thanks.
Here’s hoping FM DOES cave and give away a Pint or XR!
That looks fun
Nice video dude
Dang she killed it on the puking and riding
Skill
Crazy thing is when this video was uploaded, the lockdowns starting happening 2 weeks from then
Interesting thought at 11:42. For me it's the complete opposite. I'm a freestyle racedrone flyer/pilot and I build the drones myself (part of the reason I have a onewheel btw, to easily travel from car parking spot to fly location). I love it when people marvel at how it is possible that someone can build such a thing at home. (it's really not that hard btw, much info is available all over youtube). I feel the same with my onewheel. It's a pint thought, so people don't have that. Want to trade? =D
hey jimmy chang i have a onewheel and i sometimes go on long rides and i get a lot of foot fatige and i was wondering if you know how to get rid of it
Can't wait to see your Nikola video /still waiting on it XD
This is the coolest thing ever! Just wish it wasn't so prohibitively expensive!
i want one of these so bad!
Jimmy you need some Vans man. The ones with the really thick bottom. If you haven't tried them yet they will change your life. They are about $90 but they will last you a LONG time in fact, probably outlast the onewheel itself lol. But if you have tried those kind of vans and you just prefer what you wear now then rock on. Its just my opinion. 🤙🤙
350mi on my Pint and I'm done with it! XR is sooo much nicer rides better and yeah the only thing is the fit and finish of the look and needs an audible alarm! I keep my at about 16mph top speed because depending on the power used apparently this can determine a nose drop. I'm hearing under 30% you have to be careful.
sorry if i missed this on one of your other videos, but what kind of range do your kids get on the pint? i assume since they weigh less they would get better range. asking for my 8 yo
I’m curious if you have any long term joints or pulled muscles from long and bumpy rides?
When going down steep hills do you get off and walk it or lean back. And if you lean back does it ever scrape on the road?
Do you know if the onewheel has an alternator that charges the battery with the wheel spinning?
Personally I love the homemade look
My brother said he saw "Some asian guy riding around on one of those things with kneepads and a helmet recording himself" and I was low key hoping it was you and I'd see him in the background of a video looking confused. What are the odds you'd post a video in Manhattan right after he said that lol. Great riding either way.... might have to upgrade my Pint since the top speed isn't cutting it for me haha
Could have been Hsiang. He's always cruising around NYC.
Love this channel, where can I buy a good used Pint?
Google, how to buy a used Onewheel and you'll find my articles.
@@freshlycharged alright, thanks!
is it safe on the rain?? Customer service people told me that water might damaged the sensors since this thing is not a waterproof... Whats your thoughts on it?? Is it that sensitive?? How you clean in of the dirt then???
I love my one wheel
Sounds odd, but what about adding mini roller wheels to the front of it so that if it nosedives the wheels catch?
After being laid off, going to sell my car and pick up a one wheel while I work from home.
Hate to say it but the "vomiting while onewheeling" moment got me wheezing
