Curious...would this be considered a windsurfer ‘faceplant’? well, this one is rather a "buttplant", but there are faceplants too, in windsurfing lingo they are called "catapults" , and they might be pretty painful too 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there many riders doing that? If so, why? If you stand a bit forward, my experience is that wobbling tendencies riding are less, but braking wobbles become stronger. Too far forward though, and your control suffers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Alien Rides Posted January 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2019 Here's an interview with WraithRider about some of the protective gear that he's rocking. There's already been some upgrades to his gear though, so we'll have to shoot another one soon 😅 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it seems to be closed off to all "non-members". You'd have to sneak in somehow. I'm not aware of any "open to the public, ride whatever you want" tracks. There is something kind of like that, off the river trail that we rode when going to the Queen Mary. I'll have to see how to get in there next time I ride that trail and scope it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post stephen Posted January 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Well I've been paid today i think i might buy a full face helmet for when I'm riding , i don't know if wearing a full face helmet might make me go faster though cause i know I'm safer my speed has already increased. I never want to encounter a face plant but i couldn't help watching this video several times 😣 to make me think,. Sorry guys not trying to put you off I'll probably still wear my half face but if i know I'll be road riding i might turn to a full face This video is probably the same as a full speed motor cut out faceplant Edited January 24, 2019 by stephen 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you love riding EUC’s please protect yourself, even if you don’t care about getting hurt, because rules and legislation hurt a lot more, and it hurts us all. I think there are two reasons for not using proper safety gear on EUC's. Reason one might be that EUC riding causes something like Superman/woman syndrome, where the risk of getting hurt gets dangerously diminished. We are almost flying:D The other reason why safety gear is given low priority might be because we are so dim-witted and ugly, we don’t care about protecting our wits and face. I know I suffer from Superman/woman syndrome, but I choose Ironman as my superhero role model when I ride my EUC’s;) He can also fly!

Popular Post Jean (nhut) Posted January 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2019 Hello everyone! Here are some elements to understand the origins of the group, how and why it was created: I started the wheel in June 2014, my big brother being a fan of technology and gadgets, he had bought an Airwheel X5. Thanks to him I knew this beautiful invention and 1 week later here I am with my first wheel (a small X3). I then searched the internet for information and I came across the forum scooter electric (and soft mobility), the only existing at that time, but no member of my city, most came from Paris, no bowl ! In my city (Nancy), we were only 3 or 4 wheelers and we did not know each other unfortunately. I then challenged myself to bring together a maximum of Lorraine and Alsatians knowing that in every city there were very few Wheelers since it was the beginning of the wheel. I then went through the map of the existing wheelers on the forum then sellers Ebay, leboncoin, Facebook, Google, YouTube ... in search of wheelers. I finally came across a wheeler (Smalexis), from the corner in Nancy, who was selling accessories that no longer served him. We then talked and I offered to come to my first exit and register on the forum, he then replied: "I do not like the forums usually we come across the kind of guys who tell us" I have the biggest "". We talked a lot by email, over time I realized that he was a fan of bricowheel, so I sent a forum link about odds and ends that I found interesting, that's when he started to take an interest in the forum and then my tenacity paid off he agreed to come on the first outing. I then sent about 50 invitations if not more, to individuals and professionals. I even went to a fair-show to meet a wheel professional who was introducing people to the Ninebot E +, this professional (Richard) accepted my invitation. Then I contacted Denis de Solowheel Luxembourg and movedifferent who was delighted with my initiative and I also invited Pépino de Marchand de rêve (a Nancy professional). In the end, my first outing was a success! More than twenty participants from different cities, Strasbourg, Mulhouse, Metz, Vittel, Remiremont, Nancy and Paris. The journalist was a little mistaken about the trips to Strasbourg, it was not in Strasbourg but in Paris. Outings to Strasbourg there were a few but the gatherings had at most only 8 members and the last outings only 2 people. The organizer then gave up. The following soon https://www.vosgesmatin.fr/edition-de-remiremont/2015/07/19/remiremont-les-gyroroues-engins-roulants-non-identifies-sur-la-voie-verte?fbclid=IwAR1xAKsM3gukK5-3D0F7qpX9EJ1t0z4PEyPWiZKrhU-zvvo49irmQrd1rxI😉 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
