One of the homies on the group rides calls me the orangutan because of my riding stance, which is basically drop real low whenever I maneuver a 180 especially a backside and if I ever see any kind of danger whether I think it might shake my wheel or not I take a very low stance. It's a comfort thing just like when I'm snowboarding too fast I'll shrink my body to be a little smaller I guess

@turningmagnets 3 жыл бұрын

This is definitely my favorite episode. Nice work! My "attack stance" is closest to Jake's. An S shape allows a lower stance which keeps your weight closer to the angle needed to recover. I do use the C shape when I'm relaxed or alternating the muscles I'm working. You could also argue that the higher center of gravity allows for more deweight/recovery time. C shape also holds more potential energy to shift hips back and having the shoulders back allows for more room to move your weight further back. When I'm riding on the edge in "attack position", I keep my hips closer to the wheel. I angle my shoulders, hips and rear knee at a 45° angle so I can buckle my rear knee and drop my torso behind the wheel for a quick recovery. When I'm in this position I can use my hips for hard acceleration or my shoulders and arms for more of a precise acceleration. Shoulders and arms can be retracted quickly and coupled with buckling the rear knee. Arms can provide an upward force, extending recovery time when overtorquing. Great work guys! The TFL team constantly progresses the sport and culture for our community and I couldn't be more grateful!

Going to go with the 187 killer wrist guards. Not the derby ones, since they're plastic and probably won't slide as well for as long. Want some real slip. Then I just wear separate gloves and put the wrist guards on top of them. I don't like the idea of gloves being built into the wrist guards... especially when it's not always easy to find gloves that are a nice and comfortable fit (especially if they're full finger, which is what I want).

@douglasfox2733 3 жыл бұрын

As it was stated in this video, whether you intend to run out of a nosedive or roll out of a nosedive, you need to get at least a few steps in. I always keep my forward arm backside and my rear arm frontside. This is the prewind for frontside counter-rotation, which is what you will need to accomplish, in order to spin your lower body forward into a running position. If you were to nosedive with your forward arm frontside and your rear arm backside, you would only have prewind for a frontside rotation and rotation is significantly weaker and slower than counter-rotation, meaning significantly higher risk of slamming into the ground. If you were to nosedive with both hands on the same side, you'd only be able to use 1 arm for rotation or counter-rotation. I believe that the further your arms are from frontside counter-rotation prewind, the more likely you are to eat dirt when you come off the board.

@TheFloatLife 3 жыл бұрын

Excellent points. Do you prewind your torso or just your arms?

@douglasfox2733 3 жыл бұрын

For me, it looks something like this, with the rear arm, which we cannot see, looking like I am trying to grab my belt buckle. If you do an intentional nosedive regularly, you will get a feel for how much prewind is right for you. I would recommend a 2x4 in the grass or a small hole in the ground. Start slow and gradually speed up each time. You may want to stretch beforehand and limit how many you do per day if you are prone to shin splints, as it can be very high impact.

What muscles are naturally dominant in that human. I'm more of the type that wants to know what body position is going to fuck my back up or make my hips totally unaligned. What will screw my spine up? How do these athletes balance the pain that comes with the body being pulled out of alignment? I try to ride switch sometimes to counter balance it all but I suck at riding switch and it's less fun. Is there an ideal body type for cruising vs trails?

Wow! This is mindblowing. First off, this must be different for a round wheel pint.(my deck tilts toe-ward when I ridestaight). Jake is right about a lot of things..but I always keep feet and body square and centered as possible and get lower for high speeds. When I see some noob jutting his hips forward with legs straight, I want to yank them off and give them a few lessons before they smash there face and quit..people do some dumb shit on these..lol. I guarantee my pint at 40psi is way harder to ride than most peoples gt at 15 so I actually can talk What give you stability on a Onewheel? The answer is riding sideways with feet perfectly square and as close to wheel as possible while keeping your center of mass over wheel..REALLY TEST THIS! This is why I have alway use ELEVATED MODE. It f it can give me even a split second of extra time it’s all the difference. Be ready to JUMP OFF at ALL TIMES. That means always having knees BENT! Sure when you are riding and whipping your feet will want to turn forwards but THAT is what make the SPEED WOBBLES. I think the flat wheel increases speed wobbles too but can’t really talk, I’m not stupid enough to try and be a speed demon on Onewheel.
