I'm OK, lost a little skin, no blood. First time falling on an EUC. I should have fallen many times before but was able to escape it. Not this time. Not sure I like this view with the app on the side, takes away too much of the view. Enjoy... Late to this sad event.. I’m so glad you don’t have any major injuries! I hate wobbles so watching you loose control of your V10F made me cringe! You atleast have a video of the wobble and your attempted inputs to recover. After watching the wobble segment numerous times IMHO the CG during your quick stop was to far rearward and as you tried to recover you applied even more rearward force. I like to ride with my knees slightly bent ehich helps keep my truck centered over the wheel. Sorry this happened! Captured shot of your rearward tilt of heels, ankles, and legs with minimal knee bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still get the wobbles on the KS18S, but they are not that bad and I usually can stop them. This was weird. I do know when I'm tired especially if my legs are tired, it happens. Have to see if changing my stance does anything. I don't get wobbles on my KS16 at all. Exactly, I currently ride the Inmotion V8, I love it and it is a wonderful wheel below 25 km/h. I am too scared to go beyond 25 Km/h on it. It doesn't inspire confidence at high speed. I have also never experienced severe tilt back on the pedals. Having watched your video there is no way I am going to push the V8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be interesting to see if my 'non-Yi' cam fits it. I think it will. Arrives Friday. https://www.amazon.com/YI-Gimbal-Handheld-Stabilizer-Cameras/dp/B01CW4CFKO Copenhagen....wow! Sounds nice. After a thirty mile ride yesterday I crossed paths with a girl your age riding a bicycle. She said...'cool'. I'll bet she would like a Copenhagen wheel. i just bought a gimbal for my phone coincidence? and when girls see me riding they usually be like "nerd" or a few thinks its cool but i can clearly hear in their voice while whissing by that they hoped for a motorcycle Edited June 7, 2018 by Shad0z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Eisenman Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Looks like your way to far back in the lean at 5:19 where your toes are off the front of the pedals and there is little down pressure to keep the wheel tracking straight.

This (half value layer) means the thickness of a material required to stop (absorb) one half of the radiation emitted from a source. Some radiation types are stopped by a sheet of paper. https://www.mirion.com/introduction-to-radiation-safety/types-of-ionizing-radiation/ A lot of isotope work done in laboratories with P33 or P32 (phosphorus 33 or phosphorous 32) or with S35 ( sulfur 35) (DNA labeling) is done by placing a not too thick sheet of transparent plexiglass between the radiation source and the chest / face of the worker. The hands take a much higher dose. The gonads are out of range if below the bench or behind the plastic shield. Certain gamma ray emitters are used in blood circulation studies where the gamma emitting source is carried in the blood stream and the emitted gamma rays pass out of the body and are detected and imaged (like a picture) by special detectors. Tc99m (technicium 99 metastable) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technetium-99m Tc99m is a decay product of Mo 99 (molybnium99). A 'column of bound Mo 99) exists in a nuclear medicine lab. When it decays to Tc99m the Tc98m can be used by eluting out the Tc99m which is an unbound element in the column. The elution process is sometimes called milking the Technitium 'cow'. Injected into a patients bloodstream the detected radiation from its decay can be detected. One of the first things they teach you in school with regard to cancer cells (tumors) is that they use much more glucose than non-cancerous cells, because they metabolize glucose via glycolytic pathways (low ATP relative to ox-phos pathways which shut down in cancer cells) "metabolic activity in terms of regional glucose metabolism, which is known to be increased in cancer cells compared with normal cells. " https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3478111/ By labeling glucose with fluorine 18 (F18) and injecting the labeled glucose into the blood stream, it accumulates more in tumors which have high levels of glucose used as described above. Detectors outside the body image the F18 as it decays. Done correctly the tumors show up in the resulting pictures as locations where F18 was taken up the most. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad your OK. Your a resilient rider to get back up after a fall like that one. It's great that you are okay and you captured the moment so skillfully. The footage is so good it's hard not to comment... In fact, I noticed that despite the wobbles, the camera maintained a steady position through the beginning of the fall. Perhaps, maintaining that angle contributed to an off-balance situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mark Lee Posted June 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2018 12 hours ago, houseofjob said: This is how I ALWAYS ride! If you ride typically with set-it-and-forget-it-feet, equally parallel in the same mirrored position on the pedals, you create only one pivot point of weight equilibrium, which means your body weight, to change the equilibrium in a controlled fashion, has to rock back its full movement range, however minute, to change force manipulation of the gyro, causing unnecessary delay. When you ride offset feet, one foot up, one foot back, you create 2, instant pivot points, where you can transfer your weight much more controlled and faster to more quickly change force manipulation of the gyro. This positioning, which I kind of refer to as 'riding diagonally' (also pivoting your body a bit as if you were riding a board), also helps eliminate wobbles at all speeds, and is good for wind too, as you can fully go board-style horizontal, making your body more aerodynamic to cut the wind. Just came in from trying this offset method. I love it, even though I'm right handed I ride goofy, easier to see over left shoulder. Have much more control by adding that 2nd pivot point and by lifting the heels as I carve, my foot numbness is greatly reduced. Since I ride on the Police parking lot (it's lit at night) this officer was picking up his wife for late night rendezvous. He drew my attention and wanted to know what I was riding. I explained what it was and he wanted to know how fast it can go. I was on my ACM2, when I told him 34 mph with 50 mile range he was impressed and asked me to go at 35 mph. I told him the consequences of exceeding the 34 mph is a face plant and he said he will give me $10. We have the best peace officers here... anyway he said be safe and have fun. @houseofjob if you are ever in Utah pm me, I'll treat you to a dinner... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually go to Utah every year for skiing, my folks have a partial owner condo in Park City, we should totally grab a bite! (treating is unnecessary). I'm actually surprised at how much of a response all this got, but my hope is more riders here will pick up maybe not necessarily my hack techniques, but develop even better ones themselves (for me to learn too!), so I don't feel like I'm taking crazy pills when people say over-generalized stuff like "the Monster has poor acceleration and poor maneuvering", because that is totally not my experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
