We couldn't cover EVERYTHING there is to know about onewheeling, so If you have any tips that've helped you drop them below!

My wife bought me the One Wheel GT for my 70th Birthday... three weeks ago and I still need practice but I truly love it!!

[pwnedbad]

I just bought mine on thanksgiving and can’t wait for it to come in this week been watching so many videos.

[audioamz]

Never had a OneWheel, highly unlikely I ever will (never say never) but this man doing this tutorial was AWESOME to watch and honestly made for this! I loved this so much and he did great in this

[locksmithdb]

After 20 years of skating, surfing and snowboarding...i want one NOW!

[LitchfieldParkFamily]

Learning to ride with my husband and son, they are soooo good! Working on my confidence to stop, and increase speed. Looking forward to floating and enjoying the ride with the family 💯🎉

[stylezmorales]

awesome, working on an idea in blender and it's all about the onewheel, some i'm just gathering as much information as I can so I can accurately animated my 3D onewheel and make it look as real as possible. Thanks for some insight on the board, now I gotta watch some folks riding it to get the physics down!

[thetinkercook]

I finally got around to practicing on my new pintx. Practicing circling around my truck got boring, so I used my hiking poles to keep balance. Motoring after 5 mins. Thanks for the fun. Pax vobiscum

[joecherry]

Damn these videos haha! I'm gonna be getting my own very soon and I can't wait! Spent 20yrs on a snowboard and this looks like so much fun! Great video and the little note on pushback was very much appreciated! Looking at the newer Pint S for myself, that treaded tire on all the forest trails around where I live will be amazing (y'know, after I can actually handle the basics first). Keep the vids coming! I'm so amped for this!

[DrPuddingBones]

Great advice at 4:40. I've experienced firsthand how dangerous overconfidence can be lol.

[jhelie]

never rode one and haven’t been even on a skateboard but man do i want to buy one. no clue if i’d be able to learn and balance. gonna think about it!

[austinscully]

Always love seeing Santa Cruz on the map! Represent!

[idkimnotsure]

I really don't know why i'm watching this, i own 2 onewheels and ridden more than 4500 miles.

[deadcatlives]

Probably not where this should be sent but want to get it out.
I went to bed happy and healthy 19 months ago and woke deaf in one ear and blown out vestibular system on same side. It sukd bad if I moved my head the world would spin . A year’s worth of vestibular therapy with the goal (therapist new) of riding a onewheel which I was going to buy before Dday.
A few months ago he told me I see no reason you can not ride a onewheel. I had received my GT about a month ago. I had a set back but just got on it and the world did not flip 😎🤙can’t wait to get up to riding .

[annuet]

I’ve been riding since the 4209 days and one thing that I hope y’all make a video about some day soon is what a “nosedive” is because it is very much a part of riding a Onewheel. Not a high speed nosedive from ignoring pushback, that’s different..but the kind when you’re a new trail rider, you’re going along and hit an unseen obstacle or divot. You can be doing everything right and still experience one because that’s a part of our unique off-road board sport. Maybe not so much “here’s how to avoid it” but more “this can happen and why it’s important you wear your helmet and other ppe”

[flashinglightsonewheel]

the last part of this vid is crucial!! EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! ride safely out there, even the experienced can have mistakes be made by not remembering important details about the board! MAJOR LOVE FOR ONEWHEEL !!! enjoy the stoke everyone

[Placeholder-]

Yeah, after watching this video, I’ve realized that I still need more practice. For example, I got a new Onewheel GT and too it for a spin after around a few hours of practice, felt good soooo… I sent it down a long strait flat of grass and hit 17.8MPH, and as all things should go, I crashed. I’m ok though and am still learning how to ride better 😂

[titoron]

Is there a begginer mode that goes really slow and does the tier have to be pumped

[jinhuyussuf]

Just got mine cupa hours ago. Got GT 🤟🏾

[attorneysteve]

I just got the one-wheel. Can you recommend a good helmet? Thank you!
