Colestien Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) Very nice Christmas Cruise. Looks like a place I would like to check out. Edited December 25, 2015 by Colestien 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpong Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) Very short POV video of me falling off the Ninebot One E+ on Christmas day, 2015. I seem to only fall on holidays as the last time was US Independence day on the 4th of July, 2015. I analyzed what went wrong later and realized I rode up onto a stick parallel to the stick as if I were trying to ride the stick from end to end. Once on the stick, it rolled taking my wheel off-center from my balance. I sustained only superficial abrasions and small bruises. No big deal, so luck was with me, except for the part about the stick. Edited December 25, 2015 by dpong 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously? Our sport? Dude, vee73 invented his own sport and "our sport" has nothing to do with it. No offense but I'm just saying. At least, speaking for myself, I do not include myself in the sport that vee73 has single-handedly invented. He is great, and risks it all, while I just tool around on my bot. I appreciate what vee73 does, but I do not in any way think that what I'm doing and what he is doing are similar. Vee is really inventing a new sport from scratch. Me, I'm just cruising. Watch what I say and judge it against history. I predict that vee has started something new, something never seen before, that will continue. [And no offense intended simply because I get excited from time to time. Eh, peace bro.] Edited December 26, 2015 by dpong 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I think @vee73 is the start of a new X-Games sport. Especially as the Green Movement gets stronger and stronger. I would pay for a ticket to go watch those races. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post EUC Extreme Posted December 26, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2015 Thank you guys for your words. I do this because it's fun, and I want to cross myself. It would be great if this would begin a new species that we can keep track of even the TV. I have a lot of ideas for new species. But now, the priority would be to get someone to prepare a really efficient EUC. That too I have plans in my head. Maybe I make myself a prototype and manufactured it somewhere. But something was going to do about it .. I want you to run as soon as EUC motocross, asphalt track, trial ... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, the park is beautiful. Its just that there's no one around and the reverse movement made it more gloomy . At what time did you take this video? P.S. Did you do the reverse camera trick like in this video at 3:30? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB2WEHySrq4 Edited December 28, 2015 by SlowMo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do the reverse camera trick like in this video at 3:30? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB2WEHySrq4 Yes, SlowMo. My video just screams BUT WHERE ARE ALL THE CHILDREN!!??? Doesn't it? I recorded this yesterday (Sunday) afternoon at about 1 or 2 o'clock. It was overcast and threatening to rain all afternoon which kept people away. This park is extremely beautiful in the Spring and Summer with all of the landscaping, flowers, etc. It is a little bleak looking in winter. Oh, before I go on: "the reverse camera trick like in this video at 3:30"!!! What a hoot! It literally did make me laugh out loud. I was buying it right up until.. you know. Too funny! How I filmed it was this. I didn't do the kind of reverse camera trick that they used, though I did reverse my camera. POV videos are mostly boring to me unless something interesting happens and it rarely does. So for the heck of it, I put the camera on my helmet pointing backwards. Just to see what that would be like. When I was watching the video I was remarking to myself how disorienting it is to see it like that. I know that park like the back of my hand, and even I was getting lost. The trees seem to kind of close in on you. We have probably all seen this kind of shot used in movies. It was so spooky. So all I did was add appropriate music, and voila. I didn't treat the footage in any other way. It turned out plain spooky. Boo!

I also thought it was playing in reverse, until I saw the cars in the background. But I had to rewind a few times to be sure I was seeing it right. Good job on the video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerousDick Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 So it was nice and sunny today in Manchester and I got to go out for some fresh air this afternoon - time to 'try out' my new selfie stick (gotta love Christmas!) This bit of road is closed off from the traffic by large concrete bollards - perfect for riding around without any hastle I must've driven past the end of it a hundred times but never realised it was there! Nothing exciting here, just 'zooming' around hitting the limit of the E+ on several occasions - major tiltback on the pedals , but no drama. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
