@UniVehje was the s2 ur first wheel? 

for a long time when i was learning the s2 was my favorite wheel.

for a tight urban environment for portability, hard to beat. it’s a mindreader. 

1st place in my stable goes to the V10F now. it does it all.

Yes, I learned on the S2. Still quite liket it. But I was just riding it for practical reasons (it’s small and light) and couldn’t believe how bad it felt after getting used to the V10F. Felt like a toy. But I like the 14” gatecory and plan to upgrade it. Maybe the MCM5 or might wait to see if InMotion comes up with a new V5.

i’d llove to hear what ur impressions of the V10F are. 

I jumped from a v5f and I think they are different worlds. V10f is easy cruiser, confortable and powerful. But hard to keep under control, beside his height are very good to keep it with the knees. I miss more easy lateral contact between shell and shoes. Anyway is too heavy for do quick speed or direction changes like v5f.

But that extra weight is well managed by the thick tire, them transmit kind of motorbike feel sometimes.

btw, i think if u took the trolley handle off, the ks18s seat would fit perfectly. 

I thinking about that many times, if you try it tell if works. Sitting on any IM isn't comfortable but the v10 is the most tolerable without unmount the handle. Maybe some upside padding at sides of the handle and over it, leaving the gap for reaching the lift button is comfortable enough

My first video in 17"

That path at the end looks so much fun to ride! I absolutely love places like that.

Very nice, particularly at the end when they are riding on one wheel. I don't recall ever seeing that before.

It's 2018. Why do people still upload at 360 resolution

anyway thanks to you guys posting videos that made my learning alot easier and thx for opening a new world of fun and travel ... cheers ??

Back at uploading after a break. This is part of today's ride. I was looking for new trails and found some. After the fall I went and bought knee pads. 

This kind of riding is my favourite.

I would call that more of an unexpected horizontal trail dismount. Ahaha those are the best trails!

Trail riding is the best   What was the loud beeping that occurred a couple of times? Didn't look like you were pushing any limits at those moments.

That’s supposed to be the warning for speed. Or it might come when going over 2000w too much, I was accelerating heavily. I had 50-60% battery level at that time. That beep is supposed to be quieter now with the new firmware, at least I hope so.

Helmets are required because it only takes that one time. However, if I was forced to only have one form of protection I would choose knee pads. While learning and otherwise, the few times I have fallen have always been on one or both knees. I got knee pads after scraping up both knees in my first fall. I now ride in jeans with built-in knee pads.

Nice vid. I enjoy seeing fellow members, what they look like, how they dress, their local flora and fauna, how they ride, etc. Nice smile at the end too

I know it's a warning sound, but didn't look like he was doing anything that needed a warning. And that warning! Loud enough to scare the bejesus out of you

  Yeah, the best way to motivate yourself to correct anything that you perceive is lacking, is to shoot a video of yourself

Thank goodness it was just a low speed tumble, I was afraid for the whole video that you are going to crash badly at speed!

Marvellous paths! U gonna take me there tomorrow? ?

This is what you need to work towards @novazeus. Need to break out from the farm 

Love the sentiment expressed in this short video.

well, several things, one, it looks like ian lives in some little bfe town and i’m surrounded by 14 lanes of interstate, six lanes of highway, two lanes with no sidewalks or bike lanes. i wouldn’t leave the ranch here on a wheel by myself, i don’t even ride motorcycles here. most dangerous intersections in the county.

two, Bob isn’t the only consideration. Bob’s primary function was suppose to be, scare off coyotes so i didn’t lose calves at 5 to 600 dollars a pop. so traversing the ranch with Bob on the leash does two things. i could check out the land and the cows and Bob could mark the ranch and let the coyotes know there was a big ass funny looking wolf that might get them. plus it seems like i’m running off trespassers on a regular basis, two different sets of them this week.

i don’t have to leave the ranch to go to some park, the park is here, i just don’t have those city slicker trails like u ride on, mines untouched. 

i usually ride everyday but i didn’t today because the heat and humidity has been awful. 

Bob is not a long distance runner. he’s very fast, but not for long. he’s only like a twelve year old boy in dog years. idk if he’ll ever have the endurance of ian’s husky, they were bred for that.

if i just walked Bob around the ranch, like 4 miles, he’d die. i’d be fine, done it a bunch, course i’m not wearing a fur coat.

we’ll get there, i’m developing patience in my old age. not easy after grinding my whole life. 

that’s why i want u to go to the country and find a cow pasture with the owner’s permission to test the z10 out there.

and it’s a ranch, not a farm. i’m a cowboy not some sod buster.

but yeah, when i first thought about euc’s and walking Bob, ian’s video’s gave me that push. without Bob, i would have never bother with euc’s. i like them, think they are a great idea for boaters and pilots, but i had no use for them. my goal for ground transportation was getting a limo with a chauffeur. kind of a necessity with my medicine, plus i hate driving. pretty sure i have ptsd. seems like it.

yup, except for the rocky trails, i have everything in that video and more. someday Bob and i will be able to video a ranch run but neither one of us is up to it yet. i did just get a marty mirror so i can keep track of Bob when he’s lagging. plus that will encourage me to wear my little helmet.

Sorry, I didn't mean my post to be a downer. I thought it might have been a little inspirational for you (and others)

not a downer at all, i’m just way ahead of u. this Bob walking thing is why i got into this. when i saw ian do it, i knew it was possible.

trust me, the ranch is a much better place to be than anything around me.

must be or else i wouldn’t be running off trespassers all the time.

i just wanna see how well an experienced trail rider like urself does in a bumpy pasture. my thumb still hurts a little from me hyperextending it from breaking my fall in the pasture. no protective wear for that kind of injury.
