Agreed! Good video!

Agree!

Yes!!

Thanks Nico! I’m hoping to do more of these clinics

Ah! It seems the link is not there on mobile for some reason. On desktop, there’s a “Join” button at the top of the description, next to my name and the Subscribe button

Glad you like! Those are custom rail guards from James Gearheart (@vibnthroughlife on ig)

Haha thanks. Basically have to reach pushback speed or there’s no chance. Also, you gotta learn on a 2 stair, there’s some good 2s to learn on on battery park and at black hubba, also one in wburg near the BQE

@@JakeLeary Nice, thanks for the response! I come from skateboarding and got an XR a few months ago. I can get a good maybe 4-5 inches of air right now and am trying to step things up. I think my technique is most of the way there and I mostly need to 1) get comfortable bonking while going faster like you said, and 2) build up the right leg muscles just through practice - when I was at peak ollie height years ago I had a comically huge calf muscle just on my rear leg. Anyway, not sure if you're in NYC anymore but if you ever do another trick clinic in the area I'd be there! Really appreciate all your contributions.

Glad you like the vids! Also got my Learnin with Leary series on TFLs channel

Brandon (guy in the video with the beard and WTF board) weighs more than you! Also @blazerbanzai on Instagram is a big dude and has good bonks

Some of the energy comes from deforming the tire when it hits the obstacle, and if you weigh more, you can comfortably run higher pressures. If you focus less on jamming the nose down more on the shifting of your weight with relation to the board and deweight ("jumping" with enough force to be light on the board, but not to leave the board), anticipating how the obstacle will move the board in relation to your body and compensating the angle of approach etc to stay centered and level over the board in the air / on landing, you'll bonk. IMO there's a little too much emphasis on jamming on the nose when first learning -- that may be key to getting bigger bonks, but the fundamentals are way more about managing your center of gravity vs the other forces at play.

You can use your normal tire pressure, a good rule of thumb is body weight in pounds divided by 10. You can definitely bonk on a pint

The last one I posted on the Facebook group Gold Country Onewheel, will do the same for the next clinic

@@JakeLeary Thank you, I joined there Facebook page today.

This is my trail board which I have at full tight, nose up 2.5 to compensate for the W rails, and 7 aggressiveness. If I didn’t have Ws I just ride in mission for bonks

Get over the button for this🤣

I’m planning to do more! Will post to Gold Country Onewheel group on Facebook

@Jake Leary awesome. See you at The Float shop again soon. Back in the area next week with a new board to modify.

it's why the person you were teaching, couldn't do it

It’s weird that you would choose to comment but not contribute anything of any value.

Mission is a pretty safe bet yeah

Haha, it’s got posi

I’m currently working with the former CEO to make the first onewheeling shoe

@@JakeLeary duuuude that’s wonderful news! I’m scared to wear my supras cause I know I can’t buy another pair!

The motion is exactly like a nollie where you don’t have to slide your back foot

It’s more like a crack nollie a.k.a. Chinese Ollie

Best not to come up too hard against the object, better to circle and bump up against it occasionally, until the time is right to hit it straight on..you'll know;)

What’s a skateboard?
