Popular Post SuperSport Posted June 12, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) Just finished this ride today with my buddy Todd. Both of us were on NineBot One E+ and we each carry an extra battery to swap out. This is the Iron Horse Trail from Concord, CA to Pleasanton, CA, USA. It was 32.6 miles on our NineBots and then we took the Bart Train back to my car. Went through TWO Batteries, TWO Counties, and TWELVE Cities! Epic Ride! Highly Recommended. The trail was awesome! Weather started at around 65 Degrees Fahrenheit and ended at 89 Degrees! Whew! Edited June 12, 2016 by SuperSport 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dpong Posted June 13, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) What has 2 foot-stands and a single point of contact on the ground? What requires balance and encourages core strength? What requires a helmet, and needs you to practice elegant mounts and dismounts to keep you from hurting yourself? What makes your neighbors think you are, perhaps, crazy? What lets you jump curbs, and makes you want to practice tricks, like one foot, going backwards, etc.? What device is all that and popular with the over-fifty crowd who have something to prove? Good guess!!! But WRONG! It's a pogo stick for adults, called the Vurtego Pogo stick. Oh my, makes one sweat and pant. [PS. This was me, today. We had 95 degree weather, and I had already ridden 11.3 miles in the park. It is not an either-or situation. I'm looking at both.] Edited June 13, 2016 by dpong 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 It's nice to know that the inner 14 year old lives on in some of us, me included. Seriously though that looks tiring just watching you pogoing. Nice progress! I think I'll wait though for the electric self-balancing pogo stick. Meanwhile, could you attach my cheque stamper and help me stamp some bank cheques? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Nice video short and facility! Interesting ending disclaimer too... Mu must resist copying and selling this video to the lucrative Asian market... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmethvin Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I would watch a lot more promotional videos if they featured an EUC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted June 13, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Wish granted. Women do look better than men on EUCs kinda like when you see them riding rollerblades... Then again I'm probably biased. ?

steve454 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 @dpongyou really got the hang of it, looks like a great workout. What air pressure are you using and can you pump it up with a bicycle pump? 10 hours ago, dmethvin said: I would watch a lot more promotional videos if they featured an EUC.

Rehab1 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 @dpong Nice job on the pogo! Love these new gadgets. Not sure if I am going to try a Vurtego as i need to go to work the next day. Also my wife has had enough of my new hobbies. Looking at your video i suppose i could tell her it is a new device to help install the brick patio she has always wanted.? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehab1 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 @SuperSport awesome job on the Iron Horse trip! There are so many places to visit in this country. Using a EUC to enjoy the sights makes it even more special. Share some more photos/video! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Actually that was @SuperSport on the iron horse trail there. It is a great trail, I used to commute to work by bike on that one 12 years ago. To bad I didn't have a EUC back then! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab1 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 @SuperSport Awesome Ride! Great trail and video! Love how the people politely moved out of your way. Just a little slower passing the beautiful blonde would have been nice. For that I give you 4 stars out of 5 @Shoe73 Thanks! @HunkaHunkaBurningLove Totally agree about women looking better on ECUs...well some 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to do ANYTHING, except remember to start and stop Strava on each ride. It's pretty cool, and FREE. Here are my offerings to the Women on Wheels Videos. I'm kinda in love with these girls Just look at those heels!!! Edited June 14, 2016 by SuperSport 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took quite a while to produce -- I only have one video camera, a Garmin VIRB XE, and it took a long tome to collect all the shots/scenes I needed. It was a lot of fun to make, and I'm looking for more ideas for short video stories to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sidestreet Reny Posted June 15, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Real time footage (sped up for video) of me learning to do Shove-it's on my Electric Unicycle. In my living room nonstop until I can land them consistently enough to feel like I got it. Then took a break to drink some water, rest a bit and watch some more "Ancient Aliens" on the tube (that's what ya hear at the beginning of the video). Then I came back in an hour to see if I still got it....I did! Then tried some more the next day and then today. still got it I guess so it's time to expand on it...once I get an EU again. I learned them pretty quick, but, I did have a head start, in the sense that I can already do them on skateboards, snow skateboards, skim boards etc. before I ever set out to do it on my Electric Unicycle. I was thinking about it since I got my unicycle in January, but was hesitant to try it cuz I couldn't see it in my head yet and that's how it works. Then earlier this year I found a video of a kid in China do one without much spin (a bit more like a body pivot rather than the cycle rotation), last month I saw a kid from Spain named Sergio C.M. do it, then about a week ago I saw a guy from Russia named MonoWe SPD and @Jonathan Tolhurst do them in their videos. Needless to say I could not wait any longer to try them, even without my own cycle to ride. So I grabbed the Airwheel x3 and decided to make it happen even if the wheel disagreed with me. LOL. Holler Now it is time to practice getting them consistent. Then do them to fakie, up and off things and the "360 shove-it"...for now. Hehehe Of course we can't forget that it is always time to make up something new!! Edited June 15, 2016 by Sidestreet Reny 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen this video before. Probably my favorite girl riding EUC video is the Paris one someone linked a few messages earlier in this thread. This Ninebot video you posted is almost a tie for my top favorite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
