Can say enough about how much I enjoyed this video from the breaking tutorial to seeing my old NYC stomping grounds and towing a stranded rider. Also didn't know VESC boards hit those speeds. Just been doing trail riding on the Pint S for now (been a blast) but may look at VESC down the road. Thanks for this awesome video.
I've always done your braking tip but never thought to explain it to anyone, good job; it probably doesn't occur to people who've never snowboarded, but if you have you know that turning is HOW you stop, so combining it with a OW's motor-braking makes sense and feels natural.
Wow that's nuts how you're able to look and sound all calm and casual during such a dangerous looking ride! The Insta360 also works great with its "invisible selfie stick" effect, I added that to my Amazon wishlist right away.
Thanks! It’s from a queer onewheel group that I helped start! We’ve got a discord if you’re interested in joining! And thank you for the compliments :) It’s fun getting good enough in that board where it starts to feel like an extension of my body
Yo killer camera work and thoughts, and you made a broader point about safety just by being able to speak so eloquently while making this journey. This is excellent.
Loved the vibes of the video and the audio sounded great considering you’re waiting on wind muffs! Thanks for sharing the commute. Always been curious to see how onewheel riders navigate the city. Subscribed! Safe riding 👊🏽👊🏽
Great breaking tips! 🤙That is exactly how I brake, I just turn while slowing down and get the hell out of the way. Do more of these types of videos for sure. Maybe get you a DJI 2 mic as they can connect Bluetooth to your x4. You should only need a single transmitter. That way you can talk to camera even if the camera is not right in your face. I have family in NY, next time I visit we need to connect and you can take me on a tour of the city. ➖☠️➖🤙🤙
Please do some more how to ride/technique videos. its great to see how fluid you are on that board. also, your ease going in reverse. as a new rider 3 months in that freaks me out.
Yeah it's tough to find a good balance between street safety and trick riding, I really love a loose tail for bonks and nudges and other random fun little sidequests but also need to be able to count on my stopping power haha
I have the braking on my GT-S set to +5 and it has saved my ass a few times, I highly recommend the strongest braking possible on your onewheel if you're street riding.
So good!! It took this board up a huge notch. This is legit my favorite board ever! The Lil Duro adds significantly more sidewall, which eats up bumps better, and gives the tire a slightly boxier profile, which makes it more stable. It feels a lot like the 655 Enduro! Perfect mix of stability, nimbleness, and shock absorption. It gives the Pint a bit higher ride height, so the clearance is improved as well, especially since the Pint's rails are so short. I like this board more than my XR now haha!
@@lidarman2 yeah thighs definitely get sore after a full day of riding. Feet are usually the thing to give out first for me tho. Sometimes I’ll do 40, 50, 60mi in a day and boy are my feet aching after 12+ hours out 😅
Traffic lights *DO APPLY* to bikes and the fact that bikers don't respect them is the reason nobody likes them. In fact, traffic laws apply to everyone regardless of their means of transportation.
Lets be honest, even if bikers respected the lights car drivers would still hate them just like they hate each other. It's hardly about not stopping at red lights. While they might make a driver here and there annoyed it's not the main reason for the hate.

@@EvilAnomaly Just out of curiosity; What's your means of transportation? I drive, I ride both bikes and motorcycles and I also walk. I currently live in London, but if you go to countries like Germany, Denmark or The Netherlands, it's not only expected that you follow the rules and standards but you'll also be fined (heavily in come cases) if you don't. Maybe it's an American thing, but where I live you are not above the law and you don't have the right to disrespect the law because you feel like it. To give you a simple example; In Holland, people will happily knock you down and run over you if you walk on a bike lane.
It seems like you’re approaching this from a perspective of following the law, as if the law holds a moral standing. In the example of the Netherlands, they have really good bike infrastructure built out, and beneficial laws that give protection for cyclists. So of course, everyone is in agreement with the good policies there, and they don’t interfere with the cycling infrastructure. In the US, our laws are shit, and the oil and gas industry has taken over the majority of our cities and infested them with car infrastructure, so we must deal with what we have. Part of what I love about New York is that everybody accepts that people outside of the cars deserve to use the roads as well, and we all figure out a way to make it work!
That was so cool of you to tow a fellow rider!🎉
I have been contemplating taking my onewheel on the train to Chicago and commuting to office. You have convinced me I must do this.

Ooh that's such a good observation tying it back to snowboarding! That's probably where I got it from too
I loved riding NYC and found it quite chill to do so! Thanks for the extra tips and stay safe! Hopefully I'll also have a chance to be back some day.
I hope so too! I'd love to ride here with you!
Always great to see this awesome community. Hopefully I can start riding an EUC soon🤞
And that was a quite helpful guide actually! Stay safe Quinn!

I used to rollerblade over the bridge and around downtown Manhattan... Reminded me of that really made me smile
love your Float with Pride sticker! you are a really great rider -- much better than me, that's for sure. City riding is scary, lol

@@quinn_wheel Aw, thanks for the invite! i don't use discord much, though. I do like that feeling of being one with your board, for sure. Float on!
Really enjoyed this video. Thank you and stay safe.

Safe riding 👊🏽👊🏽
That was a great video! I’d love to see an explanation of your custom setups!

You convinced me! Just went to Micro Center and picked up the Mic 2. I'll upload the mic test ride footage soon! Ty for the suggestion!

Thanks! This comment inspired me to make my latest video on foot placement :)
I’ve been wanting to customize my helmet for so long and I think this just fully convinced me to 3D print stuff and buy paint
Haha loved that you gave that guy a tow.
🤙🏾 great braking tip, Quinn 🎉 as a fellow NY-City mobber I've learned so much 💨💨
That was awesome seeing you rider through my neighborhood ty for the breaking tip going to be working on it i ride a pint X

God. I miss riding around NYC. Gotta get back.
She is pretty good 👍

'Always assume that cars can't see you', never a truer thing has been said !
Cool 😊

Thanks!!
🔥
*Yewwwh!*
🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽⚡️👌🏽
I'm always saying this about walkable cities
Where did you get the bag on your front leg!
Good times!
My anxiety could never ride in NYC 😅. I like my city’s big and wide bike lanes.
What kind of pack is on your thigh?
How is the lil duro on the pint?

Do you get thigh burn riding that long? How do you prevent it?
Squats and stretching. I float for over a hour, never get thigh burn. Bricked feet before thigh burn for me.

How to write a one-wheel in New York City you don't you get an EUC
😂

have fun stuck in traffic :)
@@quinn_wheel Have fun getting hurt and then going bankrupt because I sued you for the damages. 😄

This was awesome to watch and I don't live in a city or own a Onewheel haha.
