    Tremendously helpful vid. Having no board experience, I had been turning by pushing my shoulder in the direction I wanted to go, as suggested in another vid. Even after 35 miles on my pint, turns still felt sketchy. Started using the knees/ankles per this vid, and turns instantly got so much easier, so much more fun, and so much less fatigue. THANK YOU!

    Hey man, stuff like this just doesnt exist on the net yet and I found this super helpful. I had no issues doing toe turns but for the life of me couldnt really master the heel turn more than a light banking thats where you came in. This tutorial helped me manage tight carving which has given me the confidence to take this baby into tight CBD / urban environments without worrying about nailing pedestrians or cars. Thanks!

    I've been riding about 10 days, 24 total miles so far. I watched your videos on foot placement and this one on carving, and felt like my skill level doubled over night. I'd been trying to find a good foot placement but I don't know if I ever would have come up with your placement, which gives me incredible control. I'm nothing like an experienced rider, but I can carve and have fun now, before I was struggling to turn any kind of smooth at all.

  • @DanteYewToob

    For that last tip I remember reading somewhere that a certain kind of surfers from Hawaii used to hold small rocks while they surfed as counterweights. It gave them more control and flexibility while riding, because like you said... arms are light. Adding as little as a fee ounces or a single pound to the end of an outstretched arm can make a difference.
    I just thought it was cool and this video reminded me of that.

    I just got my onewheel two days ago. Already addicted. I have been snowboarding for 15 years (just 1 or 2 weeks per year on Holliday, no pro here). I find the heelside carving turns to be much more difficult compared to boarding, maybe it is because the feet are not attached to the board? Btw you are a natural ay explaining this, very great to watch, learnt a lot. And this is coming from a fellow creator.

    • @JakeLeary
      @JakeLeary  3 года назад +1

      Thanks! Yes the heel turns are more difficult because you have to use body weight, lifting up your toes will just peel your toes off the board. But you are able to jump off the board if you need to bail!

    Dude..... I have been struggling with my Onewheel so much and you just helped me so much. You should do a video on how to dial the app settings if you have not already as this also made a huge difference in helping me learn. I went custom and changed stuff to slowest speed and least carve to start. Way easier to start off with. THANK GOD I AM NOT AFRAID OF IT ANY MORE. I seriously thought I was going to have to sell it. I was bummed out bro. THANK YOU.

      @quantumvortex3942 2 года назад

      @@lucdesrosiers9380 I've been involved in several forms on motorsport racing and have a lot of knowledge about tires. I've tested many tires on the XR. Flight Fins Hoosier slick or treaded are significantly better in many ways than anything else out there on the market. The other important thing besides tire construction and design is the pressure you run. This should be determined by rider weight and the terrain you are riding. Softer for dirt tracking, a little firmer for paved surfaces. It also them comes down to the feel you like to have, that will change from tire to tire. Start with the PSI at 10% of your all up weight riding gear on. Good luck.

    @billclark8241 2 года назад +1

    I just subscribed to your channel only because you have so many compliments on your videos but I do not own a onewheel nor do I plan on buying one due to what I consider an inherent design flaw. The fact that you can get on this device and want to go faster but you have to worry about the damn thing nose diving and you going Head over heels is enough for me to say no thanks. I guarantee I could jump on one of these things in within 30 minutes be very comfortable but that is where the problem begins riders getting "too comfortable". Funny how nothing like that happens when you get very comfortable on a skateboard or scooter or bicycle or tricycle or unicycle or or or or or. When first learning to surf of course I had a few nosedives and the result was I got wet and embarrassed but not effing hurt. Even in snowboarding it's possible to nose dive if the powder is deep enough but it's not easy unless you are a beginner or intentionally want to. Why wouldn't they just put a couple Wheels underneath the ends of the rails so that when a nose dives it's at least still rolling along on the wheels? You can't even go as fast on a one wheel safely as you can on a skateboard scooter or bicycle. So until I get on a one-squeal (that's my nickname because when I watch people ride them and nose dive there is the inevitable squealing of pain that ensues) and get the hang of it and never ever ever nosedive which from what I understand would be impossible I think I will stick to one of the many faster safer more intelligent modes of electric transportation available. For heaven's sake you can't even replace the wheel without voiding the warranty. That's a f***** up company that I do not plan on supporting.
