How to Jump an Electric Unicycle! (part 1)

Рет қаралды 21,501

Күн бұрын

I learned how to ride the electric unicycle in 2019. In this video I go to Las Vegas to REALLY learn how to ride the EUC. This is part one of a two part series.
Law and Vache put me through some rigorous training to really improve my EUC skills and to even get this super conservative rider jumping on my electric unicycle. Some of the important. information and skills I learned:
The importance of EUC jump pads.
How to land a drop or jump on an EUC.
How to jump on an EUC.
How to bonk on an EUC.
How to carve on an EUC.
How to safely push myself on an EUC.
Want to learn more about the jump pads Law was making? Here's my take: oneradwheel.com/how-to-jump-o...

I don't have an EUC yet, your tip about being smooth is great. Motorcycle riders having trouble make their biggest improvements when they work on being smooth more than trying to force that skill or speed they were trying to achieve.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="214">3:34</a> kinda sick burn to those that think they're the best rider in town just because they can buy big wheels and hit big speed numbers when they can't even perform basic technical riding. Lots of folks claim they're amazing because they can go fast, but ask them to ride backwards and they're suddenly dead quiet. Mastery > Speed, there's so much more nuance to EUCs than just speed and range, people.

@heymelon 3 жыл бұрын

For sure! Though if I can only afford 1 wheel I'm definitely not trying to get the most nimble one for tricks over range and speed. But then again it's all about the rider.

that was my first wheel. try taping some pennies under where the pedal hangers make contact with the pedals. better lock in and itll let you carve a little deeper fo more potential variation in movement

I live in Vegas but I didn't start getting into EUC until basically right when the lockdown started. I haven't had a chance to ride with any of the locals out here yet (except Zen briefly). Can't wait for a vaccine so I feel comfortable hanging out with strangers again. lol

Hi Jimmy, excellent video of course. I like the musical transition from when you were riding the course to when Law was riding the course. For a while there I thought you were going to win and I wish you had played Breaking the Law, for motivational purposes of course. Where can I get that Mario sound for my 16 x? Las Vegas always seems to have good videos coming out of it and it looks like a really great group to ride with!

Love your videos. I am unable to ride with calves close to the wheel, it feels so insecure for me, maybe because my calves are not too straight, so when i try to jump, feel I am lossing wheel control when landing, what do you advice, maybe longer power pads or something?

@ZuberB4 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Jimmy Nice videos. You guys need to be less pc and just say euc is better than onewheel 😉 On a more practical point. Were you jumping with a 'normal' aliexpress type pad with a big gap above the toes or adapted with more padding underneath? If just normal pads, then jumping by pulling up the pads or gripping the sides? Only done 150 miles total, no similar background, but would like to handle curbs and rocks better... Thanks.
