Onewheel trick stance tutorial from OTW Dave: • Advanced OneWheel Stan...
I clicked this video with lots of doubt and pretty low expectations. Oh boy, I got surprised! This is really sensibly justified arguments and valuable advice.
Good videography as well. Easy to see what he means through examples
So after roughly 3 months of implementing your teachings, fully, I have almost completely eliminated the knee pain I was getting and have hit bigger and more exciting milestones as far as trail riding is concerned. Thank you for posting this. It helped me stay on my board :)
Nice! I also used to get a lot of knee pain, my back leg especially takes bumps hard
I'm an old guy determined to be able to ride one of these things. I find these tips to be the most helpful / understandable that I've found in months (lol - I've been trying for months!). Thank you Jake!
We need more tutorials like this. Please keep it up. Subbed and notifications on. Can't wait for the next video.
I agree this guy makes it looks absolutely effortless
I just started on Onewheel yesterday. I can't believe what a difference foot placement has made. I noticed a marked improvement in stability and maneuvering the instant I let my rear toes and front heal hang by just an inch or 2. Excellent video!
this should be part of the official OneWheel tutorial. Super helpful.
Jake - BIG THANKS! Your last footing tip about rear toes off and front heel off was just what this total newbie needed. I finally crossed the yard multiple times! I gained so much stability and finally a commanding feel for the board tilt with this tip. Also a great help to know what to do with my size 13's on those pads. Thanks again, and happy trails... P.S. I'm also one of those older guys (50+) trying something new. Feeling that board turn side to side so gracefully is just amazing.
Perfect! This is exactly what I was looking for!
Shut up wong
@@marshallroyer4304 Blow me Marshall ;)
Donnie shut the fuckup!
Naturally I started with a wider stance because I'm used to snowboarding. I tried the narrower stance and it gave me a lot more control. I find a narrow standard stance is best for everyday riding and spinning, but if I'm jumping off ledges and stuff, I go wide. This is the first video I found confirming that.
Good stuff, keep it up my man!
Best advice on stance I found yet. I had too much weight on the heels, and adjusting it made a huge difference already.
Watched it 1 year ago when I've got my Pint and XR, and still find it very helpful 1 year later!
I'm recommending it to everyone learning to ride OW.
Very well worded and explained.
Hmm 🤔 what's that?
Going to be trying a narrow stance ride today. Great info even for an experienced rider!!
This video has made me excited! I was not liking this board at first, but I now only have 3 miles on my GT. The last mile, after practicing the techniques you showed me, has me carving and 100% less fatigue! Thank you so much for the help, omg!
You're performing a public service with these. well done!
Amazing tips. I'm a newbie and tried adjusting my stance based on your recommendations. The results were great and I feel a lot more comfortable on my GT. Thanks!
Thank you, this was really helpful. I come from a wakeboard background and was trying to ride the Onewheel as such. This video makes perfect sense!
Wow that last few seconds shows some serious next level zipping around. Great tips and thank you.
Thanks! Glad you liked the vid
I just bought my first one this video has helped me infinitely!!
Glad to hear and welcome to the float life!
This was a game changer for me! I'm only a few weeks into my OneWheel and I've been riding every single day. This narrow slalom stance angle combined with the toe hanging over the back and heel over the front has made me a much more confident rider. In addition to the superior handing and stability, I feel really light on the board. Going up and down curbs became much easier and my shitty left knee appreciates that. Thank you!
Glad to help out! Onewheel can be tough on the knees especially if they’re not warmed up
I get my onewheel tomorrow and out of all the videos I’ve seen so far, this has been the best and most informative. It really seems like you have the knowledge, skill and experience. Thank you so much for sharing and taking the time to make a video!
Dude I cannot overstate how much this video helped me, thank you so much. You are a BOSS!
Eyy thanks! And glad to help out
As a new individual to board sports, your in-depth breakdown on technique is the mark of a great instructor. Keep these coming man. Thank you!
I've already ridden a few hundred miles, and your tips were a huge help!
Boom! And just like that I get it !!! This was what I needed, I’ve had my OW+XR and been riding “self taught“ style; bad stance and wobbly AF for 3 weeks. This video was the knowledge I needed, to smooth out my ride with more control. Thanks for helping me get my float on!
Right on! Glad to spread the stoke and help out
Straight to the point! Best advice possible! Every word is accurate and based on the actual physics of the one wheel. Jake, you killed this one!
Such a great video. So well explained and demonstrated. Great to break down the 3 considerations for foot placement, the different options and effect of each choice. I am a 67yo beginner OWer with ~15 miles under my belt. Trying to optimize my riding, haha.
Ride feels more stable and easier to carve. Thank you, sensei!! 🙏🙏
My pleasure!
What the fuck. This is so brilliant. I'm like 5000 miles into onewheeling and never been convinced that narrow stance makes any sense....UNTIL NOW. Thanks man! Seems like an easy thing to mess with on the day to day. 🤘
Jake- excellent demonstration and narrative. Thanks!
Thanks for the info.
I just purchased my 1st one wheel and can’t wait to try out your technique. GT S is a sick board.
Cheers
Dave
Tried this method on my longest ride yet today. So much better! No foot fatigue, more comfortable, easy, and fun ride. Thank you so much for this!
You have a gift with explanation and demonstration. Most people can't do this clearly and concisely. Kudos!
Best Onewheel video I've seen yet. Instead of showing off, you show us how. Thank You!
This was great! I’ve been having a lot of heel pain lately and wondering if it’s due to riding. I can’t wait to give the heel way off the front a try and see how that goes.
And you blew my mind with the obvious physics of a narrow stance vs wide. My immediate stance was wide for more balance.
I have always enjoyed this guys stuff, good content, well thought out, well communicated.
Thanks, excellent video. Just got my first board and really needed this info.
Best tutorial I've seen yet all of my mistakes have been answered with these tips.
You have the best videos. Tutorials on things I didn't know I needed!!!!
This is the best tutorial on foot placement and stance. Definitely helped me to get comfortable on my board!
This was exactly what I needed. Thanks for this video!
This is so useful! I rode 8 miles yesterday completely wrong….wide feet, centered foot, squared to the board. Ouch. So much easier the way you describe.
Wide, centered foot is appropriate for high speed bumpy terrain, but for being nimble on smooth ground I like narrow and staggered
Great tips. I’ve been snowboarding for 17 years and decided to One Wheel it now. Great video for tips and confidence. Not too bad for a 62 year old guy
Awesome being 62 and doing a Onewheel. Good for you
I like this stance a ton. I've been having a hard time with my raptor legs..
I've been toe walker my whole life, barefoot I can walk all day and never touch my heel down ever. So when I ride with flat shoes like Van's, I keep getting pad engagement issues. With running shoes with a bit of heel, it goes away.
This stance let's me stand much more naturally and not force my heels down awkwardly like I've been doing.
This feels much safer and more natural for me. Thanks!
I am on day 2 with my pint. As a longtime skateboarder, yes, naturally want a wider stance, but changing that made an immediate difference. Thanks!
Some great info here- thanks Jake! I've never felt comfortable in a narrow stance, but I'm going to give it another try along with your heel off/toe off thing.
Man, this instantly help my ride game. BIG THANKS!!
Glad to hear it!
@@JakeLeary I have the wobbles when I ride. How long does that usually take to go away if I ride every day for about 30min at a time? Also having problems with heel turning, very hard to comprehend as a new rider lol
Been riding my pint for 4 days and this was unbelievably helpful!!
You, sir, are providing a great service with this series of videos. Very well thought out, organized and explained. Gold star for you!
Thank you. Using different foot placement to minimize wobble is the current goal.
Top advice! thankyou . I've been thinking about foot placement a lot, but didn't think about keeping it narrow!! and now changing placement on the move it's going to be a game changer. Much respect.
just bought my first one wheel at age 60 , great video , wish me luck .
Hi Jake, I'd love to see this type of video specifically for the GT. Thanks for all the videos.
Great tutorial and explanation! Also It’s crazy how you can turn around in such a narrow space.
Jake always has the best Tutorials :)
Just bought a used pint and was having a hard time balancing the board every time I hit uneven pavement. Tried this today and I rode for 7 miles. Started with 99% battery came home with 48% power left. Thank you for this tutorial, going to get another one for my son.....I’ve lived in my community for 10 years and I swear, I didn’t know there’s pathways and bike trails until today.
Dude today was my second day riding and at first I was struggling to find my stance (I was doing a wide stance). But I took a break and saw your video, I followed your advise, and voila no more struggling and more confidence ridding. Thank you for your vids!!
Sweet! Glad to help out
You are doing the float-god’s work. Blessed be the board.
Very well done tutorial. Short, to the point, and easy to understand and implement. Thank you for this!
Just awesome!!! Can’t wait to try this out!!! 2-day noob here!!
Man your videos are on point. Some of the best Onewheel instructional's I've seen. Just got the board, 50+ and having a ball. Thanks!
Excellent after several months this is a great improvement in comfort and control
I’ve watched hours of onewheel videos and yours was the most helpful!
DoctorRempel thanks! Next one on turning and carving coming out soon
My knees have been hurting after my rides, now I know why and how to counter. The explanation of the heel off, toes off and using calves as shock absorbers was awesome. After ~3000 miles I am still learning and this video is definitely worth a watch for all riders
Awesomeness gonna try this tomorrow
Awesome explanation! just got a board yesterday.. did my first ride.. watched your video.. tweaked my feet and already starting to feel better :)
Awesome video. Appreciated the tips on toe and additional suspension. Hadn't thought about that before!
I am 67 years old and I just bought myself a one wheel Geronimo🤙🏽💪🏽😁
I just bought one. I intend to commute on it. Can’t wait.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I was desperate for advice like this.
Subscribed and liked just because of this one video. I have so much trouble controlling toes/heels balance, causing me to wobble pretty much all the freaking time. This absolutely solved it in just one try.
Just tried this. I have less than 50 miles on my one wheel. Went on a trail ride today. For about 8 miles. I noticed my balance was incredible. Even when the terrain got wobbly, I never thought I was going to fall off
Hey jake..thx.being ridding a long time and never once thought of changing from feet across the board!
Practiced all day....with great results....!!
Wow! This is a great description. My biggest problem is my heels and I now see how I may have been doing it wrong . Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video. You look like an awesome rider.
Hey thanks for the tips! I bought a board from you about 2 months ago and I frick'n love this thing. Almost up to 200 miles on the odometer.
Zed Dez you’re welcome man! Glad you’re enjoying it
great vid, it is helping a lot. just got my onewheel gt.
This explains SO much! You're on to something here! We need more.
You can tell homie put some real thought into his decisions.
SUCH a helpful video, feel much more confident on my One Wheel, watching all of your tutorial videos now- thanks!
Great Video Jake!!! I have been carving Alpine Snowboards since 1996 and turning 49...I have an XR on order! Great tips on the carving!!!
Best advice video on RUclips instances. Amazing video
Great video man. Spent a couple days working on it myself and was getting frustrated, but this helped me feel more comfortable on the board
I'm a new rider and just saw your video. Sincerely appreciate the tips and very well explained. Should do another on dismounts.....Thx!
Check out my most recent episode on The Float Life RUclips channel!
this was the video i was looking for. thank you good sir
Great info! Thanks so much for taking time to share this info!
Quality instruction video, Jake! I'd like to see you do a video on how to do a quick 180 turn while riding fakie/in reverse. Thanks!
Revert tutorial is coming soon!
This was great. I just got a pint and I was having issues with my stance because I was trying to do the same stance as my snowboard but that just didn't work as well. This was perfect.
Wow! So much great info., for all experience levels! Can't wait to try it out.
I recently started riding Alpine style for distance and it makes a huuuuge difference in comfort.
Great video Jake. Thanks for the tips.
Just got my XR yesterday, went well but definitely need to improve my stance. This was super helpful.
This is an amazingly useful video for OW newbies like me. Thank you!!
You need more subscribers, awesome tutorial, no BS, thank you!!
Easily the most informative video I have seen so far. You rock dude! can't wait to see more :D
I came to this from a link and I wish I had seen this before I got on one. I am duck foot on a snowboard, rear straight on a wake board and my kiteboard os just where my feet land. I couldn't work out my position to turn as I wanted the board to be either narrow or my feet to be bigger, I tried this today. keeping my duck stance but narrow and having my front foot over the heel and the rear over the toe and my turning radius was instantly decreased with no stability issues, this should be included in every beginner video before bad habits set in.
Great advice! Coming from mainly snowboarding it’s cool to see how the binding positions have correlated over.
I just got mine yesterday (pint) and rode it today. Very wobbly at times but I will try your riding style. You have insane control over this thing which makes me thing, I'll be able to better control it. Great video, keep it up!
how are you now?
@@artworkshops6295 Who knows? He may be dead now.
Love the detail you go into with this, keep it up man!
Great video. And I can’t believe how much control you have of that thing!
Super informative video dude...keep them coming. I'm a new rider but have some experience on skateboards from years ago...this brought me back to then. I remembered a lot of little details that you described that make sense and for some reason I totally forgot them...thanks a bunch. I have a Pint right now but the XR is on its way...the Pint is for my son and now I have some good tips for both of us to ride together...awesome!!!!👍✌😁✔
Thanks for this great video. I definitely learned something. I have been experimenting with all of these styles, but it is good to hear from someone else far more experienced.
