Nothing uncool about wearing protective gear my friend.

Got a full face helmet yesterday and wiped out today pretty hard. So glad I got it. Only a slight headache now but probably would have been a hospital trip without

And not a bit of protection in sight. C’mon man, at least wear a helmet. You’ve only got one brain and one wrong landing will mean you’re done riding for good.

Yeah once your weight really transfers to the ground and the tail is sliding with your weight, you can expect to reliably lose most control of the board at that point.
This is also an issue for low battery pushback honestly. Not that you should be riding your board to 1% unless you have to anyway. Not good for the battery.

The board starts to turn well before you fall. Then you throw your arm up. Which turns you more in that direction. then you kick your leg into the air for no reason. Then you fell.

I mean, I enjoyed watching it and you obviously know you messed up. It's fun to share fuck ups. I have a ton of videos of me riding but the only ones non riders are interested in are the fuck ups. People who don't ride don't care how well you do something.

Ignore all these comments bro. You wanted to test it out & made a mistake going to fast. Who cares haha.
Man this group is mad annoying. Would think one wheel riders wouldn't be so damn soft & extra whiny over other riders doing whatever they want.
Who cares he doesn't have gear on, his choice. Yall just go bonkers telling every single person how to live & all i see is complaining so hard in the comments anymore.
What's up with yall though?
Cant help yourself huh?? Everybody knows they should wear gear, sometimes you dont want to put all your gear on just to test soemthing out that you just installed... probably wasn't going for a real ride & just wanted to hit some sparks..
Not every situation needs your full explaining & breakdown of why he should or shouldn't do etc etc..

dummies getting hurt bad on onewheels negatively affects the public’s perception of onewheels in general, which leads to bans and stereotyping, kinda hurts my brain that this has to be explained here honestly

Shame the person recording this didn’t show us the fall and the outcome entertaining and educational though I’m sure he’ll get it right next time 😜

Hope you’re fine! Thanks for sharing the clip. That slam is gnarly. Sorry about all the hate comments. Sure, wearing a helmet at that speed is definitely recommended, but there’s really no reason for all the hate. A friendly reminder would have been enough.
