Great advice!

I like that you put elevated mode last. It's a last resort and better for skate parks (pending what your doing. Elevated mode can get you into trouble when you go back down hill. If your on a steep street with any traffic at all and need to slow down and or reverse quickly, it will be more difficult to do so. Sometimes, simply descending down the other side of the hill or turning around to go back down will be sketchy as you grind your tail all the way down, forgetting you had elevated mode on. It's a little like the suggestion about driving on snow. Don't go faster than what you can react and safely stop to. Steep declines are like driving in ice and snow when your riding the tail down 😱. (never put fangs or any hardware thicker than float plates on your tail. This will decrease tail clearance, which is very dangerous on declines.)

@@Byromie That was SOOOOOOO HELPFUL! THANK YOU. I've been wondering about elevated mode (haven't tried it yet) those tips will help me if I need to or what to watch out for.

@@freshlycharged So when you rode the hill were you in elevated mode?

@@gfranks007 I was not. I'm not in the practice of changing digital shaping during rides. I like to set it and forget it.

Which do you see more, onewheels or electric unicycles?

Jimmy Chang definitely OneWheels, but electric unicycles are also pretty common around here.

Getting one soon may I ask what is regeneration pertaining to the board?

@@drizzydrew98 Regenerative charging is a feature of the electric motor. The board utilizes unused potential energy to refill the battery as you slow down while traveling downhill

That's incredible lol Makes me wonder if riding down a mountain you'd overcharge.

*streets

Be safe out there! Thanks for sharing this experience.

Thanks Scot. Thanks for all the energy you always bring to the community!

Thanks for watching it.

Thanks Josh! Enjoy and be safe.

انا شوفت ال onewheel عندك

ممكن تعمل فيديوهات عنها

Yes.Cut down 90% on all sugary foods,drinks & pasta,bread,cookies. You'll loose 20lbs in the first month or more. 👍👍🔥😎🎉😂

Your California trip look like a lot of fun. How are the hills in Taiwan?

Jimmy Chang cali was great, didn’t see any onewheels but amongst tesla owners it seems like a lot of ppl own one and use it as their last mile mobility device while supercharging. In Taiwan we don’t have a lot of hills in the city. Most hills would be mountainside outside the city

I wanted to see a picture with you and Elon Musk side by side.

Jimmy Chang I signed a NDA. I can’t say if I met him or not 😆

An even better way that I've have leaned to carve up hill is to switch direction without turning into the hill. This involves being able to ride "normal" or "goofy" stance. It is not easy at first. It's like trying to write with your non-dominant hand. It takes practice, and I do mean to practice on flat ground first. Practice switching stances to change direction. This probably won't work for the Pint now that I think about it since it has simple stop and doesn't switch directions like the XR can.

Be safe and have fun!

@@freshlycharged We finished posting our first onewheel video together, would love if you checked it out! i'm still learning about stability and figuring out what works best with my limited tech :)

Ha!

Yes but it doesn't come on these rental onewheels that you get from suprents.

Hope you love it!

I always liked wrecking cars while going uphill for the same reason.

Question 1. Is elevated as fast as skyline just more elevated to keep the rider more safe from the front/nose touching the hill or bumps, etc? (Like acceleration I mean. I noticed some changes in acceleration in other modes but I forgot to check skyline and Elevated mode speed differences as well so unsure if speed and acceleration would be different in those two modes) 2. Is elevated safe for downhills and dismounting uphill or downhill in case of emergencies? I’ve dismounted off of some hills with skyline but some uphills fling you off and downhill sometimes is too deep and the engine turns off with simple stop causing a backwards nosedive with simple stop so not sure how I’ll stall enough to let a driver pull out from their home’s parking (sometimes the park I go to the house’s have cars pulling out unexpectedly on the uphill and downhill to get there) 3. I’ve been having issues connecting app to the pint. It would connect and disconnect most of the time. Hopefully it isn’t just me 4. Since I got the hang of skyline should I stay on skyline all the time since my commute has tons of hills? Sometimes pacific can do it just the nose sometimes will dip if I hit a bump or don’t build enough speed early on the hill or before hill or when those emergency moments where I need to stop for a car pulling out of their house on the hills.. Skyline accelerates fast just in case I stall stop (stopping while slowly balancing forward so the engine doesn’t turn off when braking) for the unexpected cars that pull out on the hills. Thank you again. Sorry if my questions and etc might be messed up or misunderstanding. It’s 3 am here and I couldn’t sleep because I’m still mind blown that I survived my pint engine stalling on elevated uphill

Thanks for the support! More Onewheel content to come.

@@deanbotton7298 I have the XR...and yeah it tries to warn you twice before it shuts off. I was at 98% and going for like 15 seconds and then hit the brakes slightly as I went down hill and it warned me the board would shut off if I continued to brake at all. Didn't actually happen cuz I got to level ground after that but it freaked me out!

And you should be scared. The pint is okay on hills. Doable but you need to be careful.

@@freshlycharged ok ^^ so maybe a XR would be more appropriate

I usually set it and forget it. I don't like messing with the app.

@@freshlycharged I am the same. I set it and forget it.

They are the fingerless gloves by flatland3d.

Michael Dande lean back slightly with your knees. Vice versa to move forward

@@deanbotton7298 so its not "regenerative braking" it's "regenerative freefalling"?

@@RW-zm4cv kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ldZkm5ab3LDTkmQ.html

Yeah, Jimmy! If you're still around, I'm in too!

Thanks for the suggestion. Check out my latest Seattle video.

yes

Before rides I warm up in my driveway/street with circles and figure 8s. It helps my ride, and takes but a few minutes. Your battery should drain well by then. If not, you can zig-zag downhill, so you're not at a constant high angle of attack.

Much more noticeable than on the XR... Not sure what else to compare it to. Put it in Redwood and the pushback and nosedive will come earlier.

@@freshlycharged Thank you!

@@freshlycharged lol...

Fangs are no replacement for safe and skilled riding.

Jimmy Chang yes but in your opinion will they possibly reduce the risk of injury?

@@ken-mb5cp yes.

thanks

Im also wondering this. I notice elevated mode responds with less forward lean for more (climbing) speed

I was waiting for him to talk about that!

@@Bulsie28 it would have been maybe the only opportunity unless he finds an even steeper hill lol.

I just think that If he’s giving uphill tips that would probably have been number one lol

Totally forgot about that. I usually just set my onewheel to the setting that I like best and I don't mess with it ever again. Elevated would have lifted the nose a little bit but I don't like to ride in elevated because of the awkward stance and I feel it is harder to notice pushback when it happens in elevated.

I see, thanks for the clarification! I’ve been curious about elevated mode for a while now and haven’t had any big hills to test it on.

Flatland3d fingerless gloves.

@@freshlycharged awesome. thanks! Keep creating these great videos. I just got a pint last month and I love to ride. Your tips have helped me understand the basics.

this was pre COVID, so I was 160 lbs...

Paul Cormier my XR seems to rip right uphills, I should have pints at my shop in a couple weeks to try out, but so far the xr is awesome

@@asbjonesI can't wait to own a onewheel. I'm saving my pennies.The sport looks awesome! To carve on pavement!! and battery life with miles around city! Im in love

my pint SMAAAASHES uphills and I weigh 200 lbs
