There was a lot of outtakes too 🤣 Yes more donuts and riding next time for sure ➖🍩➖💨

I love seeing Jimmy Chang in the comments of all these onewheel vids. What a guy!

Damn I was following you guys and didn’t realize I knew vache. You guys should make a video together.

Vache Manoukian haha

sickestjedi like I’m person

Mario Contino thank you, kind sir! I’m still learning and working on both 🙃 You have a great channel! Subbed 🤙

You’re welcome 👍

Thank you! Start small; smaller than you think. A slanted ledge is ideal. Work on the timing and trying to do it as slow and effortless as possible. Look forward to your video 👍

Thanks, Reuben! I appreciate the kind words. Happy to help 😃

I’m new to videography and trying out a bunch of different things in order to start developing a style. Thanks for the compliment; it means a lot!

You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful

Appreciate it! Glad it helped you 💪

Thank you for the kind words and the sub! Let us know what you want to see more of 🤙

Haha yup that’s me! Small world eh? I ride EUC and OW now. Both amazing

Mazwi Lewis YES, definitely very beneficial for city riding 😎

I’m glad you found it helpful 😁 Thanks for the support

You’re welcome 😊

Thanks for watching and subscribing 🤙

Hey thanks man! Let’s meet up and ride ✌️

@@VacheManoukian i know. Been missing out. I travel for school every 3 weeks, so havnt been able to find some time. Hopefully next year when things settle down in LV. 👍

I’ve been there and feel your struggles. Start small; smaller than that...find a small obstacle, and just work on the timing of bending your knees down and up to get light on the board. Let the board do all the work and focus on staying smooth and efficient. Do less. Keep dialing in that timing just as the tire crawls over the obstacles. Hope that helps

That means you’re riding into the curb and not allowing the board to climb up on it. Find a smaller obstacle and work on your timing. You’re probably not bending your knees enough and getting light on the board. You gotta give space for the board to ride up the obstacle. Lean back more as you approach the obstacle getting the nose up, bend your knees down and up to get light on the board, and let the board just ride up the obstacle. Work on the timing and making it as efficient and effortless as possible. Remember to practice on small obstacles first. Timing is the key

@@VacheManoukian Thanks Vache - I managed to push down on the last mile of the nose and that helped, but then it felt like the board tried to buck me off! I will try lower curbs and the pyramid shaped ones. The other thing that is tricky is lifting the nose makes the board want to brake or reverse.

Tieler C thanks bud! 😊

Thanks for the compliment, Chris! It’s purely a timing thing which is why I promote learning on smaller obstacles. Once you get the timing down, do it over and over and over and over again while trying to make it as effortless and efficient as possible. That’s where you’ll develop your smoothness. I agree that the Roll Up is smoother and let’s painful, on both your body and board, but the Chonk can clear much taller obstacles and can be very beneficial in certain situations. We learned both and I would suggest you do the same. The confidence and board control you gain is immeasurable. Always glad to help! Thanks for stopping by and supporting the channel 🤙

Hey Mike from Tampa! Thanks for the kind words and the sub 🤜🤛 Let us know what you want to see more of

Glad to help! Let us know how you progress 😊

Burris treaded

It’ll absolutely work on 90 degree curbs and also other objects too. The whole technique is learning the timing of bending your knees and getting light on the board. You do that at the same time as you roll the forward momentum into an upward motion. It’s like a little dance move lol. Start smaller than 5 inches for sure...remember to dial in the timing and try to make it as effortless and efficient as possible. Hope that helps

@@VacheManoukian thanks for the feedback and suggestions. time to put on the gear and just commit!

Chris 🤘

@@VacheManoukian i still can't seem to get this dialed in... there is something you do that makes it look really smooth, but when i try, it ends up being more like a bonk. i can get over the 3 inch or so curb, but it's a hard smack to the tire and the nose of the board pops up pretty hard. definitely feels more bonk like. maybe i'm going too fast? i know that when i go too slow the board ends up stopping at the obstacle and i get thrown off the front, so i tend to want to hit the obstacle with more speed. i'm definitely missing something that you're doing

I never used simple stop. It limits your riding so much and in my opinion can also be a safety hazard in certain scenarios. It’s great for new riders who want to get a feel for the board without getting overwhelmed, but once you actually figure it out, then you won’t want it ON. It’ll hinder your movement and mobility. Here is a dismount tip WITHOUT Simple Stop: Pick a feature on the ground as a stopping point. I’ve used a manhole cover, stain in road, crack, painted line, or whatever is available in front of your house. Ride up to your selected point at whatever speed you are comfortable with. Could be 5mph, it could 15mph; whatever is safe and comfy for you. Slow down as you approach your stopping point and start shifting your weight back (lifting the nose) and try to stop the board right on your mark. Take your time and remember to always ride and make your movements smooooth. No herky jerky lol. Don’t dismount the board; rather just get a feel of how to slow down the board and stop while maintaining balance. You’ll start learning how to teeter the board front and back while balancing, and this muscle memory will develop your confidence in controlling the board while it is stopped. Once you get comfy here, it’ll be super easy to get your front heel up and disengage the board. Quick tip: Don’t think about lifting your heel; instead think about slowly pushing your knee forward. It just works ;) Just practice the dismount over and over until it becomes fluid and automatic. This skill is so important and can help develop other techniques that you will be using on/off-road and while also negotiating obstacles. Just realized it’s a bit lengthy but I hope this helps. If you need more info then don’t hesitate to ask. Making sure people are educated, safe and having fun are my only motives 🤙

Vache Manoukian super useful, ill say thanks for that guy!

willy boy I’m glad it was helpful! Have fun out there 🤙

@@VacheManoukian this is probably the best explanation I’ve ever seen. I have just shy of 200 miles on my pint and I still ride with simple stop cuz I can’t ride switch.

@@Lurch685 thanks, glad to be of assistance. Riding switch is definitely one of those core mechanics I believe every rider should always work on. Just go slow and take your time. Relax and make small adjustments. I practiced while my girlfriend would walk the dogs ;)

I don’t use a float plate so not sure about all your different options however, both Craft&Ride and Float Life should have what you’re looking for

Start at 1psi per every 10lbs that you weigh. For example if you’re 170lbs then put it at 17psi. This is a great starting point. Play around with increments of 2psi at a time and see what you like best. Lower air pressure means better off roading but less range. Too much air can make the wheel feel bouncy and hard. Find your happy medium 😁

@@VacheManoukian nice thanks alot

Precisely! 😎🤣

Start on a small angled ramp/curb. Slow down and focus on timing. Bend your knees and just roll up with the board. Let the board do all the work 😁

Kevin yep Kevin thank you 😊

It was very close actually! Barely made it

It was my Plus

Yes I agree which is why I prefer the roll up method. The chonk is still important to learn in case you come across an obstacle you can avoid. It’s a good skill to be able to understand the board and the different ways to throw it around
