I got a chance to try a freinds Onewheel pint today. I was doing speed runs and hit 25.9 mph…
On an OG pint. Has anyone here gone faster?
10mph faster than it’s rated top speed???
I’ll post a photo… gimme a sec
Let’s all line up to plant our teeth into some fresh tarmac, trying to do something really, really, really stupid.
Lol. My specialty! Haha
for real (btw I’m the guy who had the pint)
Doing this with a half shell is the real amazing part. That takes serious balls.
Agreed
Helmet style where the shell only covers half your head, usually the top half.
I wear a dirt bike helmet, but the guy who went 26 on my pint did wear a skateboard helmet
Oh yeah, I was wearing a bike helmet! I’m gonna die one of these days…
Lol
Memento mori, ergo, vivare.
Once, as a quite green Onewheel rider I rode my quickest ever, 40.4kph on my XR on a quite full Burris slick.
On the way back I crashed pretty bad trying to be this quick again.
My motorcycle jacket took the full force of the crash but the shoulder had a lump in it for weeks and I had a very sore heel from the first step trying to catch my fall.
My guy on the pint nosedived at 27 mph today
Well guys, it happened. I hit 27.6, nosedived and now I’m 100% sure that I’m NEVER gonna do another speed run and I’m gonna start respecting pushback. Moral of the story, a nosedive HURTS.
