One thing I have learned from years of big mountain exposed skiing is, always focus on where you want to go, not where you don't want to go...ie, don't look at that pothole, or cliff and focus on not going there, but rather focus on the part of the trail you want to go in order to avoid such pitfalls. Anyway, works for me, love the vids!

Thank you for mentioning trail etiquette. No one ever talks about that.

Leary does it again! Great tips for riding. And big facts on being the new sport ambassadors of Onewheel. Let’s all work together and show positive vibes on the trails and paths we share with other people.🤙😎

So important this message of Ambassadorship Professor. Having come from other sports with high profiles, and plenty of kooks, kooks kill it for the rest of us. As a motorcyclist, once when helping an elderly lady with her car, myself and some other bikers were asked why we stopped. Without hesitation all the bikers said right away, 'Ma'am, we have to, we have a horrible reputation, and we must take every opportunity to dispel that notion.' In kite buggy, same deal. People assume anything new is dangerous, simply because they've not seen it. I've had cops chase me at 60 mph on a crowded beach because they thought i was a danger. How i wonder am i a danger going the speed limit, vs. a 6000 lb vehicle screaming down a crowded beach. Represent. Aoxomoxoa~thanks again Professor. (two weeks to trail ready)

Awesome points about etiquette. High fives.

Tip #1 should be wear your helmet!!!!!!

"rotational turning" Good term. Thanks Jake and Float Life for the top shelf content. Trail riding is the best riding.

I’m new to the Onewheel and have just over 100 miles on my new GT and I’m loving it. I really enjoy the videos when I’m not riding it’s currently 100° out here in Houston. I haven’t met anybody yet out here that has a Onewheel but look forward to meeting new friends

Thanks Jake for another great video! On every trail ride, I get at least one person who's curious about OneWheels -- Take a minute to say "Hi!", it really helps to spread a positive view of our sport...

Nice job on the trail tips. As an avid trail rider myself, here are two additional points to recommend. 1) Tire pressure - i usually run at 11psi on trails and drop as low as 9psi given the sandy conditions/dunes where I ride. Also 2) when approaching a steep uphill, it was noted to speed up, but also a little shift of hips back to raise nose and "coast" up and over steep section works well. Prevents the potential nose stick as seen in the video where the wheel was digging/spinning. All in all fun times, and right now... i am heading out to run a few laps on my local sandy/dune trail! Also one more tip for trail riding. Pick up some bearing, charge port, and power button covers to keep dirt/sand out. My sandy trail riding one wheel still runs smooth as butter with the bearing covers in place!

Thank you for mentioning "respect the work of others and trails" do both MTB and onewheel and always was happy to see onewheelers before I started to ride myself, also get good vibes from MTB riders when on onewheel

Huge MTBer here awaiting my 1st onewheel XR. Great commentary on trail etiquette! Hoping onewheels will be embraced within the MTB community.

Well said, Ambassador Leary!

Thanks professor

Another great episode. Love the details and examples in each lesson. Etiquette tips spot on. Extra caution around loose dogs or horses. Never can be too respectful with either.

Great points about being respectful and good ambassadors.

Goal seeking mechanism at work when you look forward on the trail.

Another great tutorial, always concise with the knowledge 👍🏻

Thanks for that reminder at 7:39 ! Help out, be courteous, stop and say hello,

Another A + video I love this series!!!

The professor of OneWheel.

Halfway through this vid, i realized I was taking tips from someone that wasn't wearing safety gear!

Good stuff right thurr!! Love the positive message and reinforcing good etiquette! Float on homies!!😎🤙

👏👏👍Great content bro dude thanks for sharing the stoke😃🤙🏽

Very informative

Excellent content. Bingewatching all your stuff, just got my ow.

Great tips on etiquette 👌

Another great episode🙌🤙

Super helpful cheers

great!

Still a great tutorial!

I just got my new tire installed it’s a FF Hoosier terrain 2

That float life varsity jacket is 🔥

Hey guys. It would be hella cool if you designed led lights for the onewheel. All the options out there arnt optimized for rugged use. Plus most of them have a dinky platic battery case. Love y'all. Float on.

Most of the mountain bike encounters I've had on the singletrack have been positive, but I've gotten run off the trail twice and one of those times, the biker actually came screaming up from behind, didn't announce himself and hit me.

Great video Jake! Damnit I want to leave work and hit a trail now!!! 😅

Mountain biker and onewheel trailer here... They absolutely hate my one wheel on trails. 😒

🙏🏾

Thanks dude. Awesome job. Are you riding xr or pint in this video?

Not too sure if it's just mine, but your outro doesn't have the end card videos and sub button. But Great Video once again, really enjoying the series... Trail etiquette is HUGE I always say LEAD BY EXAMPLE.

🤙

I’ll stick to the bunny slopes.

Can the new enduro do the kinda lose traction turn?

My pint can't even get me through the grass in my front lawn. Damn I hate being 225 lbs!

Really informative. I'm looking to get a onewheel soon, I'm 6'2" 180lbs and curious if I'm a little big for a Pint and should stick with the XR? Most people I see using Onewheels are mid sized so it's hard to decide what is best

I disagree on the group riding bit. In the motorcycle world, there is a phenomenon called "rubberbanding" where the faster riders up front speed up, so the people in back speed up to catch up but need to go faster to catch up. Then when they slow down, the people in back have less time to slow down from a higher speed. It causes accidents when less skilled riders try to keep up. The solution is to put the less skilled people up front, and let them set the pace. Don't pressure them and just let them have fun. The skilled riders can be in the back coping with rubberbanding and act as a shield for them. Making slower riders move to the back where they feel pressure to keep up us just asking for someone to fly off a cliff on a Onewheel and no one will even notice because they are in the back. Or, the riders up front might bomb over difficult terrain and make it look easy and the riders behind will attempt things beyond their skill level... etc. I love these videos, and I learn a ton! Thanks! P.S. There is really no way to know about this kinda thing unless you ride motorcycles in groups or study road and trail safety, but it's a very real problem that affects all kinds of group rides... road bicycles, mountain bikes, dirt bikes, cars on curvy roads, and OneWheels. Just always take care of the less skilled riders. It's no fun for them if they spend the whole time anxiously trying to keep up. If you don't like riding slower to help them out... find someone else to ride with. It's for everyone's safety, get over it.

How do you handle the wobble and don’t get thrown off every 10m?

What about the tire psi??

How do you clean your Onewheel after a trail ride?

duno bruh i think everyone needs to wear a helmet even for a tutorial vid

Ride like butter on pancakes

Woot. Another OW video on KZfaq without a helmet and we wanna talk about danger. LOL.

Obviously you are an incredibly good rider, but please wear a helmet. Not only will it help keep you alive and well so you can continue to ride, but it would set a great example for young floaters that are learning from your videos. Your lessons are very well done and easy to understand. I have learned a great deal from them. Thank you for doing them. Keep 'em coming and float on my friend!

Remember kids might look up to you and not wearing a helmet just isn't cool. I'm surprised The Float Life went along with this tbh

Buy a euc instead. The onewheel doesn’t have enough power to go on the slightest hills on trails without maxing out the power and nosediving

Anyone else find riding on anything other than smooth asphalt completely miserable?

HELMET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude this is a great video but for the love of god wear a helmet or AT LEAST advocate its use when you're making a video impressionable kids could watch. Not everyone has a developed frontal lobe and you might wind up having to change the name of your show to "How to Acquire Brain Damage with Leary"'
