I had my Onewheel XR for 1 year now. I'm a 53 years old swedish guy and I'm riding it like a maniac. I'd several crashes but no severe ones. I just ride it like it's my last day in life. You!...Strohdawg, is the reason that I bought one in the first place. You are the real deal. You are the essence of the joy and skill of freeriding that wheel all over the place. Your camerawork is da shit. Your music incorporated in the vids are very cool. Your editing is flawless. In other words, you are the best!. Heal yourself and prosper. Love you man 👍🙏
Hey slydog, so sorry that happened bro. Freak accidents are a bitch. Glad to see you’re taking it well and are prepared to bounce back.. take your time and get better. You know you’ve got a hella community here behind you. We all know you can beat whatever life throws at you.. just keep floatin on! Take it easy bro. We are here for you.
Bought a used 150mile +XR on Craigslist 1 month ago. I've already put 130 miles on it and was inspired by YOU. I'm not all that agro, just a cruiser but I love carving down the road. I haven't had any major bails in all that time and I've chosen to wear a ton of safety gear. I just subscribed and want you to know I have your back man! Safe recovery to you!!
Sticking with you, and can't wait til that 2020 video! Your videos are the main reason why I bought a Onewheel (XR). I just wanna enjoy life riding the way you look like you are when you ride. And I did. Been having the time of my life on this board. I just nosedived (my fault) and dislocated my shoulder the other day, and I'm not riding til a full recovery. My recovery time is much shorter than what yours will be, but I do understand how devastating an injury can be now. Not riding sucks. Can't wait to see videos of you shredding again! 2020 is right around the corner!
Your still young and will recover. Hope it all goes well my man. Can't wait to see you back on the onewheel. Just got my first one myself. 157 miles in 19 days. You were a big inspiration in me finally getting one
I've put 700 miles on my XR in just 3.5 weeks, all the while trying to ride with slydog steez. You're my OneWheel hero, bro, not going anywhere! Can't wait to see what you have in store during this recovery time. Stay strong, those massive leg injuries suck.
You were the first one I watched on You Tube that inspired this old man to get an OW. I ain’t brushing you off because of this injury. You WILL recover and you’ll be back on the OW. Guys like you don’t know what giving up is. Keep on keepin’ on. The roads and the trails be will be there. Always.
I imagine Slydog will be back better than ever and will transform the Onewheel world in early 2020! Sending prayers your way and all of us will still be here to welcome you back. Heal up and stay the course for a good recovery.
Hi Slydog, your vids have brought me a lot of joy and freedom at times when I was injured and couldn't ride my OW, or eskate before that. Of course we will stay with you and your channel! Remember for every person who sends you a nice comment there are hundreds more who love watching you and do care about you. I'm in my 50's now and have had so many injuries. You'll be just fine dude! Squash any thoughts that you won't be able to ride again, because you'll be riding again before you know it, and soon after that be riding again like the pro you are. :)
I just got my first 100 miles on my XR today, thanks to you I bought the onewheel and I can't stop thinking about riding it now. I tried out all your favorite spots here in Chicago as I was learning. I am sad to see you off the board but hope to see you back on soon!
I will stick with you! It sucks that you’re injury put you out of your passion for the time being. I will say though it will be exciting to see you adapt and overcome. It forces you to take up a new outlet of creativity as you recover, which might actually be a well needed break from the usual. You will only improve. Thank you for inspiring us Onewheelers, non-onewheelers, and content creators! Wish you a fast recovery!
Damn. I wondered for a while why there wasn't any new content. Sorry to hear that Stroh. I hope you have a fast recovery! Your videos are literally the reason a bought a onewheel XR. I've logged in 300 miles in 3 months. It's been a BLAST and it's all thanks to your uploads. Can't wait till your back on the onewheel homie!
You got this @slydogstroh I completely severed my ACL 7 years ago and was mountaineering within 6 months. It’s tough after the surgery but if you stick to a good PT regiment you will be shreading on that onewheel in no time. Your vids are one of the reasons I bought one and I ride it everyday. Stay strong and keep the positive vibes
Thanks for opening up about the grieving. I wish I had found this when you posted because I broke my ankle around that same time and felt the same way. I called it depression but when you're incapacitated from an injury it's hard to describe what you go through. Good job man.
Not going anywhere man. Your videos were definitely an inspiration for me to get into riding. You show the fun in riding. A sense of freedom. This is just a temporary setback. Wouldn’t be called life if there weren’t any. Thanks for the inspiration. Look forward to your recovery👍
All good things for you, just amazed on how many great comments and support from everyone. You've given so much Zen and joy while OneWheeling Im happy to see everyone doing their best to give back to you in these hard time. May your knee heal, your head gets smarter and your heart can handle all this loving coming from every corner of the world. Stay safe and get better. Big hug from DR
This is so sad. I ride Manhattan every day, and I've had a more mild MCL injury from when I was still learning to take curbs, so I know how you feel, though to a lesser degree. We all want you back, man, hang in there. We're out there riding on your behalf.
You're a hero to many, simply due to your skill on the wheel and the inspiration that offers riders of all levels as they aim for improvement. The material you've published is a catalog that any rider could study for months in trying to analyze and emulate your approach. It stands on its own, irrespective of how long you go without publishing new content. And for that, I thank you. Moreover, some things in life always come first. Health is certainly one of them. Since having kids, my perspective has changed slightly, and since teaching kids, more so. If you don't care for yourself, you can't care for others. I didn't upload anything for two months before the video I did a few days ago. Life just got in the way, and it was more important. Your injury affects your life, and no one could or should ever begrudge you for a moment if you needed to focus on recovering and managing. Health comes first, always. If you ever want to talk shop about cameras, editing, and tech, I'd love to chat. It's my side gig outside (and alongside) teaching, and RUclips is just a creative outlet for me. I'd be ecstatic to shoot the breeze about video creation with you if you've got the time and inclination. Godspeed in your recovery; my wife and I send smoke signals your way. Take care, and be well, Sir Stroh. Cheers.
Dude Mario thank you so much! I really appreciate all the support. I just got access to a DSLR and I’m looking to download Adobe premiere soon. My first goal is to learn how to do flashing screen frames on action shots! I suddenly have some time to slow down and not be afraid to take my time to learn a few things, and that’s not such a bad thing at all. Thanks again for the kind words and loyalty. It means a lot!
Dude! So sorry about your bail. I blew out my ACL doing a backroll wakeboarding about 5 years back. They tossed a cadaver ACL in and I was snowboarding Colorado a month out from surgery. You will recover fast but as you said take it easy and do it right. Cheers man!
Hey man, sorry to hear about your ACL. Just give yourself time to recover and focus on other stuff in the meantime. I don't think anyone is going anywhere. Your content is great and we will be right here with you brother. Everything happens for a reason or a season, either way it's a gift. You may not know how or why now, but there's something really positive in this.
Hang in there, dude and stay positive. Things could always be worse, so keep it all into perspective. You rule and we love what you do. Here's to 2020!
Brother all us fans....are praying for you to have a speedy recovery.....we all have bad days......I myself have recovered from a broken arm and a smashed right knee cap.....lots of physical therapy .....and I'm good now....and you will be also.....!
Stay strong Stroh! Take all the time you need. We support you! You inspired to go outside my comfort zone and take the plung and get a OW and I couldn't be happier. I am still learning to ride mine but it is so much fun and so rewarding. GWS my friend!!!
Your fans will stick with you- count on it. And when you are back on your wheel, it will hit you in a beautiful way- your fans stuck with you because they like YOU as a person, wheel or no wheel. THEN your riding will be even more blessed than ever. The wheel and your riding does not define you, it's just a part of your life you share and we enjoy watching. We care about you as a person 1st and foremost. Always remember that. Praying your recovery time is shorter than you thought!
Your positive attitude through this is really inspiring, man. You could easily allow this to tear you down, props to you for giving yourself the space you need to process it emotionally and not letting it effect your vibe. We’ll still be here for the dope content, no worries! Heal up well.
Bro! I remember my first time seeing a onewheel online and had to have it being a skater since I was young. The videos that made me save every penny for it were yours.. and just today I saw this one. I had no idea this happened to you.. you WILL come back stronger than ever! I just took a spill about 3 weeks ago and tore an intercostal muscle. I love that your still rolling around making videos. Your inspiring brotha! Take care of yourself and keep up the healing! Much love!
Good luck on your recovery dude. I tore my acl, lateral maniscus, and mcl on my onewheel. Wasn't as experienced as you are but I had surgery to repair mine December 2018. Trying to get my strength back. I know what you're dealing with good luck.
Glad to see you back in action even if it’s one Two wheels vs One. I always enjoy seeing that city from your prospective and listening to the music you throw in. Here’s to a good recovery and wishing you the best!
Definitely were the final inspiration i needed to make the xr purchase! Can't wait til you make your way back onto the board! Best of luck on the recovery.
Get yourself better. Big unjuries are always a partial rebirth. You're a creative dude. Myself and anyone whose worth the protoplasm we are all stamped out of, are looking forward to some Windy Shitty love vids and some rehab musing. Hope your orthopedic surgeon is as good as mine. Rehab as soon as possible and as hard as you(and your surgeon) can handle, and discover new people/things. Still lookin forward to riding with you and checking out the Chicago scene.
Amazing how knee injuries can conjure an existential crisis! You'll be good slydog. I went through the same with my patella tendon rupture and soccer 2.5 yrs ago. The worst part of it, was the psychology of it all. I know you'll be back fo sho. You'll just a little wiser and more grateful for every ride! Big ups to your music selection btw in all your vids...And you're city shredding vibe was the tipping point for me to decide that I wanted a onewheel.
Hey bro just wanted to let you know your videos, style, and overall vibe was the key inspiration for me to dive into this whole float world just recently. I haven’t tried something new in a long time that I loved doing so much (gave up skateboarding about 15 years ago and no snowboarding in Florida). Wanted to say thank you for that. Wish I could help more but wanted you to know that and hopefully you’ll push through the mental and emotional battle that comes with injuries and losing part of yourself. I pray this time will help you become who you’re meant to become next and even give you clarity you’d never get without being forced to step back and face what matters and what doesn’t. I know it’s still hard, and will be even harder at times ahead, but I’m hopeful for you.
Would like to add my well wishes to you sir. Like many others, your vids influenced my decision to get my XR. Take it easy, and hope to see you floating again someday. Seeing chi town through your rides will forever be OW legend.
Sly your the shit! Even when your out of the game you are still killing it! I just started watching your videos 10 days ago after I rode a OW a couple times. I'm on a boat right now in the middle of the North Sea thinking about buying my OW when I get back on land. I watch your videos about everyday to stay stoked. They are the closest thing to actually riding....love em! Take your time and heal up right!
Looking forward to the new content and glad to see a video from ya again. Always appreciate just your genuine nature and for lack of a better phrase, chill that exudes in your videos. Sucks what happened but glad ya took the time YOU needed before putting out something about it. I've had a few friends go thru the same injury and indeed as you expressed, take your time. Everyone I know is back to everything they do like nothing happened, so the effort in time with healing and physical therapy is well worth it. Stumbled across your videos when binging waiting on my Pint, ended up getting a used Plus sooner than later and I have no regrets. One of the greatest things ever and watching your videos reminds me of that. Float on! (In time of course...)
Dang. I tore my acl/meniscus/pcl/partially lcl in 2014 playing football, injury was non-contact though. Just a freak thing that happened. The best advice I can give you is keep your head up and make sure you go through rehabilitation. If you don’t keep up on the rehab, it could have a lasting impact on your range of motion and mobility. I’m sure you don’t want that. Good luck man and I’ll keep on watching your videos 🤙
Mine was also non cantact. I guess I didn’t really get into that in the video, whoops. Yea I ran out the bail but twisted my knee weird in the process. It was a very sudden thing.
Get well soon! I ain't going nowhere. Nothing but positive vibes to you and your health. Can't wait to see you on that board again in no time. You're a big part of my onewheel obsession/purchase and I'm sure the same goes for others. Keep that chin up!
Good luck my friend. As a football player that has been through an ACL injury or two its all about how your recover mentally. Physically you will be stronger than ever, its getting your mind right. But your a boss so I aint got no worries. Look forward to whatever you put out.
Wishing you a speedy recovery! You're the true ambassador for OW. Inspired by You, I bought my first XR yesterday. Can't wait to be confident enough with the board to switch from my eBike to it for my commutes! Looking forward of your next vids.
Great to see you again Stroh! I was so sorry to hear about the injury. Best of luck with the recovery, looking forward to seeing you riding again. As much as I dig the eBike, I miss that signature grin of yours in the video (oh wait, there it is at 8:00). Interested to see how this challenge helps you to grow creatively.
Wishing you a speedy recovery man, be safe and I’m not going anywhere , I guess on a positive note, things I’m sure could’ve been a lot worse... glad to see you rehabbin and look forward to you back on your One Wheel! 🤙🏽🙏🏼
I am sorry to hear that! Sending thoughts of health and happiness your way!! I just broke my clavicle and a rib nosediving my OW. Healing right now too \m/
Damn bro, i hope you get better. I was hoping to run into you at race for the rails. I just got back on my board last week after a month of being laid up due to surgery. (nothing to do with one wheel). Anyways take your time, get better and youll be back out there inno time!
Aloha Sly, I to am a big OneWheeler with thousands of miles on my board but tore my MCL snowboarding about 3 years ago and it really hurt to shred really hard on my Onewheel then I got the Hyper Scrambler to strengthen the muscles around my MCL and it is the best thing I ever purchased besides the Onewheel... After 3 months riding my Hyper I am now able to ride the Onewheel super hard without any pain and I can run and play softball like before my injury... good luck on your recovery brother and hope to see you on the Onewheel sooner than you are expecting!
Man! Thank you for taking the time, editing and posting this video. I (like many of us that subscribe/follow you) hope and can’t wait to see you back hopefully on the OneWheel again. Heal, take the right amount of time Bro, and get well soon Mang.
Get well soon bro. Seeing your commute vids showed me how feasible onewheeling to work could be. I never really considered my distance to work. But it was only 5 miles. I bought a onewheel XR yesterday. Waiting to get my flight fins and protective Gear before riding. Again thanks for the inspiration. Keep your head up.
Hoping for a smooth and fast recovery. Can’t wait to see the journey from now ‘till the day you’re back on the Onewheel shredding again! Peace from NY ✌🏽
Speedy recovery. Your videos helped me to believe that I could Eskate in the street among traffic. I never thought i could get to your level, but i was able to. Thanks. Since I got my car, I haven't eskated lately, but i hope to ride again soon. All the best.
I been worried about ya slydog. Glad you are taking a great approach to all this. Take this time to hone your already amazing vid skillz and when its time to get back on the OW, man, the community is going to celebrate, amigo. Heal up well, and keep the contect coming. IMO FM should pay for your surgery under the table, you sell more OneWheels than anyone else...
Ayy that’s what’s up bro! It’s humbling for myself as well. I thought I was untouchable for AWHILE there. Then the smallest bail takes me out. Womp womp. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it!
Great content ! I am one of those who watches, but rarely comments. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Keep up the amazing work. Watching your videos is like riding on a low floating cloud through the city. Cheers 🍻
I haven’t been on my onewheel in a while, due to multiple reasons, including a bad muscle contraction in the upper back and neck area due to stress and a bad fall, terrible weather (I mostly ride in the woods, so not easy on wet ground), finals and a trip to the hospital. I hope to get back on soon and I hope you do too! Get well soon!
Yo, sorry to hear about the ACL! Like you said, it will take time, but you'll be back in action and good as new soon so stay +. I came across this video as a Scrambler rider so consider me subscribed! Love the video work and while it's not you're choice ride, believe me, lot's of us Scrambler/73/Onyx/etc riders will be liking and subscribing for great videos like this. Keep it up! You da man
Hey - I tore my ACL on my OneWheel a year ago, October. (totally out of the blue nothing accident) Surgery in Feb 19. Loooong, patient recovery. Seven months before I got back on. One month of feeling pretty scared on it, but now back to my old self. Take care - do LOTS of PT.
Stay strong dude! Your videos are great! so zen ... I had acl surgery 25 years ago(!), haven't done much sports since, but got back into e-boards this year, and I'm loving my Pint! Knees holding up so far :)
I had my Onewheel XR for 1 year now. I'm a 53 years old swedish guy and I'm riding it like a maniac. I'd several crashes but no severe ones. I just ride it like it's my last day in life. You!...Strohdawg, is the reason that I bought one in the first place. You are the real deal.
You are the essence of the joy and skill of freeriding that wheel all over the place. Your camerawork is da shit. Your music incorporated in the vids are very cool. Your editing is flawless. In other words, you are the best!. Heal yourself and prosper. Love you man 👍🙏
Same man he was the reason I purchased as well
Agreed, best ambassador for onewheel, best videos of this kind.
Surround yourself with a large bubble of light for protection. Believe it’s real and it will be.
Hey slydog, so sorry that happened bro. Freak accidents are a bitch. Glad to see you’re taking it well and are prepared to bounce back.. take your time and get better. You know you’ve got a hella community here behind you. We all know you can beat whatever life throws at you.. just keep floatin on! Take it easy bro. We are here for you.
Hope you have a fast recovery. Take care and don’t push yourself too hard. Love your channel and I will stick with you, God Bless.

lf these favorite spots! is there a list somewhere? im only about 35 minutes from it! cant wait to ride the city instead of a town!
@@hockeymack watch the videos and you will see them :)
Sorry to hear about the injury. It's never easy. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
I will stick with you! It sucks that you’re injury put you out of your passion for the time being. I will say though it will be exciting to see you adapt and overcome.

Patience is the master word. Sometimes I think our Onewheels give us so much but they also take something from us. Get well soon !
Cestbibi yes we must respect the board
You got tons of support from all over the world bro! We're all gonna stick with you and all the best in your recovery!!
Hang in there, dude and stay positive. Things could always be worse, so keep it all into perspective. You rule and we love what you do. Here's to 2020!
I will definitely keep watching and I hope to ride with you when you get better. All the best with your recovery.
Brother all us fans....are praying for you to have a speedy recovery.....we all have bad days......I myself have recovered from a broken arm and a smashed right knee cap.....lots of physical therapy .....and I'm good now....and you will be also.....!
Some of the greatest failures turn into the best experiences that makes life worth living even more. Live, hurt, love, and learn.
Ero Jasper yes all things are both positive and negative though it’s hard to see the positive s sometimes
Really glad to see you back. I hope you have speedy recovery! Stay safe!
Stay strong Stroh! Take all the time you need. We support you! You inspired to go outside my comfort zone and take the plung and get a OW and I couldn't be happier. I am still learning to ride mine but it is so much fun and so rewarding. GWS my friend!!!

Hope your orthopedic surgeon is as good as mine. Rehab as soon as possible and as hard as you(and your surgeon) can handle, and discover new people/things.
Still lookin forward to riding with you and checking out the Chicago scene.
Amazing how knee injuries can conjure an existential crisis! You'll be good slydog. I went through the same with my patella tendon rupture and soccer 2.5 yrs ago. The worst part of it, was the psychology of it all. I know you'll be back fo sho. You'll just a little wiser and more grateful for every ride! Big ups to your music selection btw in all your vids...And you're city shredding vibe was the tipping point for me to decide that I wanted a onewheel.
Hey bro just wanted to let you know your videos, style, and overall vibe was the key inspiration for me to dive into this whole float world just recently. I haven’t tried something new in a long time that I loved doing so much (gave up skateboarding about 15 years ago and no snowboarding in Florida). Wanted to say thank you for that. Wish I could help more but wanted you to know that and hopefully you’ll push through the mental and emotional battle that comes with injuries and losing part of yourself. I pray this time will help you become who you’re meant to become next and even give you clarity you’d never get without being forced to step back and face what matters and what doesn’t. I know it’s still hard, and will be even harder at times ahead, but I’m hopeful for you.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Thank you so much for the kind words and support!
We love ya sly don’t feel too bad the float life never leaves its ppl keep ya head up. It only gets better from here
Would like to add my well wishes to you sir. Like many others, your vids influenced my decision to get my XR. Take it easy, and hope to see you floating again someday. Seeing chi town through your rides will forever be OW legend.
Sly your the shit! Even when your out of the game you are still killing it! I just started watching your videos 10 days ago after I rode a OW a couple times. I'm on a boat right now in the middle of the North Sea thinking about buying my OW when I get back on land. I watch your videos about everyday to stay stoked. They are the closest thing to actually riding....love em! Take your time and heal up right!
Can’t wait to see you shredding again. Stay positive. Bad ass looking bike by the way.
Wishing you a speedy recovery Sir😊
I really like your channel and the way you riding. Hope you have a rapid recovery ... Take care bro
Get well soon slydog
Take your time and have a safe recovery! Ur a beast on the onewheel but be careful!
Looking forward to the new content and glad to see a video from ya again. Always appreciate just your genuine nature and for lack of a better phrase, chill that exudes in your videos.
Sucks what happened but glad ya took the time YOU needed before putting out something about it. I've had a few friends go thru the same injury and indeed as you expressed, take your time. Everyone I know is back to everything they do like nothing happened, so the effort in time with healing and physical therapy is well worth it.
Stumbled across your videos when binging waiting on my Pint, ended up getting a used Plus sooner than later and I have no regrets. One of the greatest things ever and watching your videos reminds me of that. Float on! (In time of course...)
Dang. I tore my acl/meniscus/pcl/partially lcl in 2014 playing football, injury was non-contact though. Just a freak thing that happened. The best advice I can give you is keep your head up and make sure you go through rehabilitation. If you don’t keep up on the rehab, it could have a lasting impact on your range of motion and mobility. I’m sure you don’t want that.
Good luck man and I’ll keep on watching your videos 🤙
Mine was also non cantact. I guess I didn’t really get into that in the video, whoops. Yea I ran out the bail but twisted my knee weird in the process. It was a very sudden thing.
Get well soon! I ain't going nowhere. Nothing but positive vibes to you and your health. Can't wait to see you on that board again in no time. You're a big part of my onewheel obsession/purchase and I'm sure the same goes for others. Keep that chin up!
Good luck my friend. As a football player that has been through an ACL injury or two its all about how your recover mentally. Physically you will be stronger than ever, its getting your mind right. But your a boss so I aint got no worries. Look forward to whatever you put out.
Hey slydog! I hope you heal fast.
I bought an XR because of your awesome videos and I'm happy that you are still posting. Take care
Sorry to hear this happened. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Wishing you a speedy recovery! You're the true ambassador for OW. Inspired by You, I bought my first XR yesterday. Can't wait to be confident enough with the board to switch from my eBike to it for my commutes! Looking forward of your next vids.
Dont be sad, man! Every loose is finding smth. Bike is awesome.
Great to see you again Stroh! I was so sorry to hear about the injury. Best of luck with the recovery, looking forward to seeing you riding again. As much as I dig the eBike, I miss that signature grin of yours in the video (oh wait, there it is at 8:00). Interested to see how this challenge helps you to grow creatively.
Get well, you have inspired us all to enjoy the float more - of course we will stick with you man!
Speedy recovery brother..
Wishing you a speedy recovery man, be safe and I’m not going anywhere , I guess on a positive note, things I’m sure could’ve been a lot worse... glad to see you rehabbin and look forward to you back on your One Wheel! 🤙🏽🙏🏼
Wishing for a speedy recovery man. Seriously looking forward to your uploads in these next months in the amazing city that is Chicago. Float on.
hope for a swift recovery, sly. Take care bruh.
Stay Up Slydog!
I am sorry to hear that! Sending thoughts of health and happiness your way!!
I just broke my clavicle and a rib nosediving my OW. Healing right now too \m/
Oh wow, I hope you are healing well. That is really fast!!
Damn bro, i hope you get better. I was hoping to run into you at race for the rails. I just got back on my board last week after a month of being laid up due to surgery. (nothing to do with one wheel). Anyways take your time, get better and youll be back out there inno time!
Good luck with the recovery...sorry to hear about the injury from a fellow OneWheel XR owner.
bro stay strong. Im getting into onewheel because of your videos. Will be right here bro. Aint going anywhere.
Hope your recovery is going well! Your videos make me miss Chicago, I’m looking forward to seeing more in the future.
Aloha Sly, I to am a big OneWheeler with thousands of miles on my board but tore my MCL snowboarding about 3 years ago and it really hurt to shred really hard on my Onewheel then I got the Hyper Scrambler to strengthen the muscles around my MCL and it is the best thing I ever purchased besides the Onewheel... After 3 months riding my Hyper I am now able to ride the Onewheel super hard without any pain and I can run and play softball like before my injury... good luck on your recovery brother and hope to see you on the Onewheel sooner than you are expecting!
Chicago loves you, bro! Keep your head up, brother.
Have a fast recovery bruh !
Man! Thank you for taking the time, editing and posting this video. I (like many of us that subscribe/follow you) hope and can’t wait to see you back hopefully on the OneWheel again. Heal, take the right amount of time Bro, and get well soon Mang.
Get well soon bro. Seeing your commute vids showed me how feasible onewheeling to work could be. I never really considered my distance to work. But it was only 5 miles. I bought a onewheel XR yesterday. Waiting to get my flight fins and protective Gear before riding. Again thanks for the inspiration. Keep your head up.
Get well soon and very cool bike!
Hope you get better soon SlyDog, you taught me how to slap stop. Looking forward to learning more from you in the future. Mike in Tampa.
Praying for speedy recovery. Your commute videos help me chill and convinced me to get a OneWheel Pint.
Heal up! Good luck and hope you feel way better soon enough.
Get well Dog! You are the spark!
Hoping for a smooth and fast recovery. Can’t wait to see the journey from now ‘till the day you’re back on the Onewheel shredding again! Peace from NY ✌🏽
Hoping for full and total healing for ya, young brother. You inspire so many people every day 🤘😎
get well soon!!!
Speedy recovery. Your videos helped me to believe that I could Eskate in the street among traffic. I never thought i could get to your level, but i was able to. Thanks. Since I got my car, I haven't eskated lately, but i hope to ride again soon. All the best.
I been worried about ya slydog. Glad you are taking a great approach to all this. Take this time to hone your already amazing vid skillz and when its time to get back on the OW, man, the community is going to celebrate, amigo. Heal up well, and keep the contect coming. IMO FM should pay for your surgery under the table, you sell more OneWheels than anyone else...
Stay strong !
Get well bro. Sending you them healing vibes. Humbling to know that injuries happen even to the best riders.
Thank you @slydog you are the reason I got my onewheel and now I can’t get off the thing I just hit 1000 miles last week!
Ayy that’s what’s up bro! It’s humbling for myself as well. I thought I was untouchable for AWHILE there. Then the smallest bail takes me out. Womp womp. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it!
Really enjoy your videos, hope you have a quick recovery!
Great content ! I am one of those who watches, but rarely comments. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Keep up the amazing work. Watching your videos is like riding on a low floating cloud through the city. Cheers 🍻
Get well soon
I haven’t been on my onewheel in a while, due to multiple reasons, including a bad muscle contraction in the upper back and neck area due to stress and a bad fall, terrible weather (I mostly ride in the woods, so not easy on wet ground), finals and a trip to the hospital. I hope to get back on soon and I hope you do too! Get well soon!
Looking forward to more of these tours. Keep healing up bro...keep that 🔥 alive!
You inspired me to say “yes” to the one wheel... nice one geez 👍
Hope you’re doing well and have a speedy recovery.
Yo, sorry to hear about the ACL! Like you said, it will take time, but you'll be back in action and good as new soon so stay +. I came across this video as a Scrambler rider so consider me subscribed! Love the video work and while it's not you're choice ride, believe me, lot's of us Scrambler/73/Onyx/etc riders will be liking and subscribing for great videos like this. Keep it up! You da man
heal well!
Hey - I tore my ACL on my OneWheel a year ago, October. (totally out of the blue nothing accident) Surgery in Feb 19. Loooong, patient recovery. Seven months before I got back on. One month of feeling pretty scared on it, but now back to my old self. Take care - do LOTS of PT.
Stay strong dude! Your videos are great! so zen ...
I had acl surgery 25 years ago(!), haven't done much sports since, but got back into e-boards this year, and I'm loving my Pint! Knees holding up so far :)
Toujours des belles de images de Chicago et du bon son!Bonjour de Bruxelles.Vive le onewheel
