I've tried it a couple of times on my mountainbike and it was really scary. It was even scarier today. But i'll keep practicing. Might be fun to try with my Ninebot and OneWheel as well. This got me looking for tracks near me. Thanks! My daydream is to take this on full speed and maybe race somebody... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently discovered a cool pump track by happenstance out near the SF Valley version of Balboa Park...😜 I tried it and it's got some super steep ramps. I made it up em first try, but would love to head back there and practice jumping...This ride in particular I'll be scheduling a group ride for next time the LA burner crew throws a day party at Woodley park. Gonna be a group ride/party. Fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read about the Franco-Prussia war ending in 1871. https://www.britannica.com/event/Franco-German-War The language of the birth and community records switches from French in 1871 https://flic.kr/p/24Ejk54 to German in 1872 as you mentioned. https://flic.kr/p/24Ejk5e My middle name and my father's first name are the same as the ancestor. My grandfather (1893-1951) , who died before I was born, would have been the ancestors son. Genealogy records for immigration, property ownership, children's birth dates, etc. exist. in the State of New York. Both the ancestor and his wife were from (Alsace-Lorraine). THE ANCESTOR WENT BACK TO FRANCE AFTER HIS WIFE (Dorothee) DIED IN 1931. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/57344609/dorothee-eisenmann The ancestry trail of vital records for the male ancestor ends with his return to France after 1931 , a time when Alsace is again French ( 1918-1940).

After a couple hours with Mr. Google, I've found a couple tracks that will be opened this summer.

There is a small track 100 meters from where I live as well. It used to be decent but hasn't had any maintenance done for the past 5 years. I think I must just get creative and do something fancy with it! Trim some branches, sweep, remove rocks, maybe modify the whole thing. Nobody ever uses it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you use Google to locate these soon to be opened tracks?

After finding all the public ones that took years to tear down, I stumbled upon public tracks that are taking years to build. I found a while ago and looked into it but only had the 14S at the time. These jumps would make chooch look like @Mike Sacristan at this stage (no offense to either just giving you an idea). But know that I have the 18XL I might check it out again once this wet winter ends... It's destroying all the off-roading trails! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenofnine Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 7 minutes ago, pico said: His wheel is badly calibrated. Pedals are NOT parallel to the ground... Yea I noticed that too. I have a 3 day old Ninebot One E+ and I noticed the same on mine. The programming won't automatically level out the pedals every-time you start it up at angle on on a slight incline. You have to turn it on at the level you want and it will correct a bit. I also really hate the Ride setting Ninebot has, at all times even on the lowest setting the pedals are really soft and they will dip you forward and back with delay following your lean. On 3 (the default setting) It let me dip so far forward it cut it self off multiple times basically trying to faceplant me. I can't put it on 0 since it spazzes out, so 1 is the best I can get still it's very mushy and laggy feeling compared to the snappiness and precision I've been getting on the V5F.

pico Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) The calibration procedure is rather complicated, but it MUST be performed. It involves starting the wheel on its side and waiting for a bunch of beeps. Speedy feet has a video of it. I would never start anything on a non calibrated wheel. I would have to relearn everything for that particular wheel. The NB1 IS mushy compared to any modern wheel, but that can be used as an advantage (heavy body work "a la Z10") Edited March 22, 2019 by pico corr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enaon Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 he has a second video, pretty funny as well. I made a comment there about the calibration 6 months ago, after riding my bot uncalibrated for about a month or so 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
