This video is also for beginners (like the others in the series) but may also benefit intermediate or advanced riders that haven't put much time into safety braking or emergency stops. I highly recommend you install Float Plates or some kind of guards for your Onewheel. Tail dragging takes a lot of material off of the stock bumpers and will eat them down severely well before you've finished practicing. Considering the cost, you're MUCH better off installing bumper guards for these, and just in general. The economics of them are easily justified, considering how much longer they last.
Rememeber, the Onewheel in inherently dangerous. It's a one-wheeled skateboard. So practicing safety maneuvers itself presents risk and you should protect yourself at all times should you choose to ride and practice.

Ayy Mario you should do a comparison between the JWXR and the CBXR. Since you have battery knowledge you could go beyond a real word riding comparison and also comment on the construction and materials/cells used.

So if any content comes in the way of those, it'd likely have to be because a viewer or person I knew loaned them and understood I'd dissect them. Anyway, cheers sir!

Shoe selection may matter. Wearing flat soled shoes that you're comfortable standing in for long periods of time may help. They say carving helps because it flexes your feet and shifts weight back and forth. Apart from that it's mostly just conditioning. And that takes many miles.

Question? I just got the XR and is the Float Plates different from the bumper that came with the One Wheel? Thanks for all the good advice for us newbies!

@TheBoardGarage 4 жыл бұрын

Yes they're different. Float Plates are installed outside of the bumpers. You'll see on my XR that the bumpers are orange and the Float Plates are black. The plates are harder and more durable, and were intended to protect the board during tricks and make them slide easier. What they also do is reduce the wear when the tail drags, since the Float Plates are harder than the bumpers. Bumpers would wear out in no time if you're dragging your tail.

Indeed, it's better than when I would just dive off the board flailing and screaming. Once I stumbled upon this maneuver, I found it preferable. 😁 As for the motor, unlikely that it does anything. It's effectively the same as stopping fast and going in the other direction.

@jakubhladik5898 3 жыл бұрын

Advice from a longtime skateboarder: You need to learn how to fall going fast on concrete. Watch skate videos of pros slamming to see how they do it. Pro skaters when trying a hard trick will fall more times than they don’t fall, often going really fast and even down giant sets of stairs. There’s an art to it. I’ve seen a lot of falls on Onewheels and it’s clear they don’t know how to fall. It looks hella dangerous the way they’re falling. For research, I would watch Chris Joslin “RAW” videos. Raw meaning they keep the slams in.

@TheBoardGarage 3 жыл бұрын

You're suggesting that someone intentionally fall from a Onewheel, at 15-20mph, on pavement? No. That's not good advice, and you should not give said advice to anyone else.

@@TheBoardGarage No no no! Please don’t do that folks. That’s not what I meant. You need to do it on grass going like 5km/hr. Walking speed at first. Then practice going faster once you get confident. I’ll be doing it going pretty fast but I’ve been skating and falling on concrete for 25 years.

@TheTinManTJ 4 жыл бұрын

Nice video and technique that it covers! Does this work the same way on the XR as the Pint? For whatever reason, whenever I do this, my XR does a big ole reverse burnout as I'm lifting my front foot, and it's destroying my tire. Maybe it's my shaping setting?

@TheBoardGarage 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, they generally work the same. I mention in the video that this is the same maneuver for either, give or take variations in either's torque response As for the tire spin, that's a little outside the scope of this specific video, since this is purely about safely stopping short. The removal of the foot is more of an additional steps, which would turn the tail drag into a quick stop, which is more of a dismount. On that specific technique, it's a matter of learning the time to remove your front foot. Usually earlier is better, but that requires more balance.

@TheBoardGarage 4 жыл бұрын

Also, the tire can handle a lot. Assuming you're on a Vega, it can handle some serious pavement chewing before it's not usable anymore. So if you're still practicing, I wouldn't worry about it. A tire with softer rubber might get chewed more quickly but even then my tires are still very usable

@TheTinManTJ 4 жыл бұрын

@@TheBoardGarage Good point, and I figured out what I'm doing differently. Practicing in my driveway, I'm not carrying enough momentum for the stop to actually overcome the torque of the motor as you describe. I'm doing a tail drag, but the fact that the tire does a reverse spinout if I lift my front foot, or if I don't the board starts going backwards, means I didn't defeat the motor. Practice makes perfect, it's all starting to make sense now. 👍

The motors acceleration capability is not symmetric to its braking capability. In particular, the counter-electromotive force opposes acceleration but not braking.

@TheBoardGarage 4 жыл бұрын

I never claimed it was. I submitted that the motor will drop the tail when excessive braking force is applied. Stopping short is more important for safety than accelerating quickly from a standstill. Hence, controlling a tail drag to a stop is an important safety maneuver.

@TheBoardGarage 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, that's one of the next videos, actually. Aside from just practicing and getting your legs used to it, you can use diagonal tension to help alleviate some wobble at speed. Generally you want your stance to be upright with a slight lean back with your head and using your hips to shift weight forward. While riding, try putting your weight a bit more on your rear toe and front heel. This gives a diagonal tension accross the board and helps it balance while the wheel rotates.
