Have had my Pint for 2 months now love every second of it. Was hesitant at first because of the price tag but I would say to anyone considering buying it very well worth it. I was kinda a home body before but not anymore this thing forces you to go out and explore.
A lot of people talk about the price tag but fail to realize that most people have a cellphone that costs as much or more than a Pint. They fail to realize that the joy one gets from riding a onewheel is priceless! Float on!
@@jeffcompton6804 cellphones is pretty necessary in these times but a skateboard with a tire in the middle you don’t know if ur gonna use it all the time
@@ddoggyvii468 considering that I see them regularly for 500 bucks(used), many if not most people have spent that much on entertainment. A 500 dollar television is nothing today. Entertainment systems cost more. Vacations are expensive even if it's just a simple road trip. Buying a decent bicycle would cost more. One day at a ski resort costs anywhere from 150-200+ dollars a day (plus gear needed). It all comes down to the question of what does the individual want to do to entertain themselves. For a 500-600 dollar price point a Pint an excellent option (in my humble opinion of course).
I recently got my pint. I don’t have any prior board experience so it’s taking some extra practice to get used to, but I’m enjoying every minute of it.
in my opinion, when people think simplestop is weird or feels like it's throwing you off, it's because they're going backwards with their entire body. When I do simplestop, I maintain the upper body centered, while the one going backwards is just my hips
Yes, like I said with the text, I know I’m still learning it and I realize that it’s tricky to get used to because you simply have to stay flat and just put your foot down which is weird.
Just had the pint over a couple of weeks now and completely agree on all of what you said! The portability for my tastes are why I went with the pint. I fly my own plane and I literally stick the pint in my baggage compartment and take it to my destinations to get around close by areas to the airports I fly into. Great video!!!
I thought simple stop seemed dumb at first but after getting used to it I can’t imagine not having it. I’ve had mine for about 6 months or so roughly 100 miles on the odo. It’s the funnest dumbest thing I’ve ever bought and Id do it again in a heartbeat👍👍
Simplestop works great, you just stop, go back a tiny bit, but keep your weight centered. I usually turn it off though for whatever stupid reason (not having it on got me to into hospital recently). Hopping off is a good way to get off though, and you should practice hopping off whenever you lose balance before you do the awkward onewheel splits, I've been there. Since the "regular" way of getting off with the heel-lift is tricky and somewhat unreliable, currently my favourite way to get off is to do that thing where you basically smash the back foot down and just before you stop quickly lift off the front foot and have it touch the ground, while keeping the weight mostly on the foot on the board so it doesn't go backwards.
Gotta say this is a pretty accurate rep of the learning curve and buying new gear curve. I'm a 3 year XR rider. Was a bit wary seeing a disappointing insta360 one x2 video of yours but props and criticisms where due. This one, excellent info and production quality. Nice!
Why is everyone having problems with simple stop? Just slow down, rock back, tip back, step off. Jumping off will scratch your board and looks like a clumsy way of getting off your board.
Just gotta think of putting that thing in reverse terry when using simple stop, such a great feature. It'll delicately disable the board as you lean back. Learn the heel up stop method to transition you into not using simple stop so you can learn how to ride that thing backwards in switch stance, than you can wheel around like a graceful robot
Definitely something on my radar. I May need to drop a few pounds first, but hopefully within the year. I just made one big purchase, the FX3, this one may put me on the couch.
Bought one to get to work and back. Live about 4 miles away. And it is so nice. I was riding a bike before this and yeah it still hurts my legs and feet at the end of the day (because of work) it is still a lot easier than a bike. Had a bad wreck and I broke my arm, broke my head open and had 17 stitches in 2 layers. But that was my bad for not buying a helmet or pads 😂
Been wanting one of these for a while now! I already have an electric scooter for my commute but I like the size of these for bringing on and of a bus! Will have to buy a used one though as I can’t really afford the 950 at the moment! Awesome review! Also already hinted to my wife that I want one 👍
Think you could take this golfing with a golf bag? Ive always thought an escooter or this would make golf even more fun lol. But i dont knoow if habing golf clubs on your back would allow it to work
I just bought a one wheel pint to try to bring it to Brazil. It's been hard to know if the air planes company really will accept to travel with it, but I'm trying anyway. What happend with boosted board, still have it?
I'll be a month tomorrow 230miles on a pint. I got my #GreedyHungry shirt and color scheme going on. When I get that XR that's when I'll go all out with tha green n blk on it, very excited and can't wait. Showing love from #LASVEGAS #GreedyHungry 💯 👍🏾 🔥 ayyyyeeeee!
Be sure to wear a helmet. I had a bad nose dive a few weeks ago, and my helmet saved my life. I would caution anyone against riding these machines without proper safety equipment, no matter how good you think you are or confident, you feel.
If you buy a Pint you'll end up buying the XR. You think the 6 to 8 mile range sounds like more then enough range until you actually go out and really start riding. I started with the pint and now own two XRs. Range is everything and if you take a onewheel off pavement your range drastically goes down. That 6 to 8 is cut down to about 4 to 5 on grass or a trail. Oh and you are dead on about overconfidence that is when user error occurs and people get hurt. I was 50 miles in when I broke my wrist because 50 miles sounds like a lot and I thought I was comfortable but in reality you won't be really use to a onewheel til your over 1000 miles.
@@scottmckenna Hey Scott! After having both now, which would you recommend? I'm thinking of buying one very soon and would love to hear your perspective!
@@sm208 If you can afford the XR, I would say get the XR all day. It's more stable, more comfortable with the large footpads, and has a longer range. It's just better overall when actually riding it. The ONLY advantage the Pint has is the size for carrying and portability, but at the end of the day, you'll spend more time riding it than carrying it, so it makes more sense to have the XR. I'll do a video about it.
I'm thinking with battery mod I can get same distance as XR and cheaper.. I don't need the XRs top speed, I prefer the better carving. Also there's a Hoosier tyre you can swap to that's wider and flatter like the XR. Still cheaper with Battery and new tyre so start off at half price then when comfortable upgrade to those two and have best of both worlds... hopefully👍🏻

True but you use a cell phone way more than a pint.

What do you fly?
How do I get my own plane? You’re blessed
@@almightyswizz You buy one and then *tataaaaa* you have your own plane!
Ditto that. My friend carted a fold up bike around for years in his plane. Purchasing a Pint changed the game for him.
Great video!! I just tried my friend's for the first time this weekend and it was awesome, gotta get one now.

Yes the pint!🙌🏻 I use mine a lot for filming.
You and your hubby need to come to Allentown and ride around. Coffee and OneWheel. My kind of day.

Since this video, I’ve mastered stopping the pro way and simple stop when I want it. No problems anymore.

I learned it more after this video and it’s easy, yes. It’s weird to get used to though I think.
What are the top best "toys" you own? Because I completely agree with you assessment of the onewheel

I've learned since this video and I have no problem with it. Thanks!!
i returned my pint for the full size, so much happier!
I can see the pros and cons for sure.
Definitely something on my radar. I May need to drop a few pounds first, but hopefully within the year. I just made one big purchase, the FX3, this one may put me on the couch.
HAHA.
I just purchased the XR last week! Congrats
Man…..so cool
Such fun toys.
@@scottmckenna Ya my wife thinks I would hurt myself....I wanted one for following my son on his bike LOL

For the simple stop light off your heel on the front of the board
I get mine in two days. So excited
How’s it

Yes for sure. If the course allows it of course. It’s great on grass.
@@scottmckenna i was just worried about the rocking weight of clubs on your back
I just bought a one wheel pint to try to bring it to Brazil. It's been hard to know if the air planes company really will accept to travel with it, but I'm trying anyway.
What happend with boosted board, still have it?
Boosted board died a few years ago. I still have it hanging on the wall as a memory but it doesn’t work.
Danny Givertz has a good story about his One wheel. Be careful!
I know what u r talking about.. that hurts
Would love to see Scott very slowly ride through the scene of a Oddly Satisfying Pressure Washing video.
🤣
Have you tried the electric unicycle like from inmotion
No. I don’t know how much I’d like riding around on that haha.
Great video! Congrats dude & float on!

I did buy an XR now too :). I wanted the range for sure.
and I agree about the confidence. I’m feeling super comfortable now but I still don’t act stupid. I play it safe.

How much is it?
1050$ for the pint approx 2250-2500 for XR I believe
7:20 you need to agree more on that reason 😉
lol
Thanks for the advice, Scott and it looks fun and a bit dangerous if you know what I mean.
It can be dangerous for sure. But it's a fun toy.
@@scottmckenna yeah
I wonder if the new pint X is travel friendly... If so, that would be a deal maker
No it isn't. The battery is too big.
You don’t lean back you have to keep your weight centered over the wheel
I've mastered it since this video. Thanks for the help.
I just bought 2 pints, one for my wifey and one for me 😅
AWESOME. Have fun on your journeys.
@@scottmckenna after breaking my elbow she got discouraged lol but 6weeks and I’m now back on my pint and loving this thing
A new camera would be better investment for me probably
Probably.
3:15 just let up on your front foot and its muuuch easier
I want one so bad 😔
Regards from Kuwait
Hello
The new Pint X tho..
Looks sweet.
You need a helmet yo! safety first! Great vid live the pint!
I wear a helmet when I'm cruising around town. For this video, I felt confident in the small things I was showing.
Why is the music so creepy
My pint can shred trails my XR can’t. Don’t discount the Pint and trail riding.
Not discounting it at all, it’s an awesome OneWheel.
Going to be 'Simple' about it. Simple Stop is easy, you are doing it wrong.
Deraj - Goodish 🎶
По грязи на таком не поездишь. Не для России.
: D
your making all the wrong comparisons between the XR and the Pint
I be getting one soon
Nice. Enjoy it.
How fast does it go
