Everyone have a good laugh, I don't mind It will work for my needs You can laugh at mine too ,i wrapped it in carpet underlay my girlfreind said I'm like ali barber lol😁 Here's my first hour but then something clicks and i was off ,, with arms waving lol Still the same day 2nd day big open space on grass was the best, i felt safe ..i can't believe i did all this with no protection I followed most my days riding and my girlfreind followed me to 😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha yes i save the MSX for the slushy poopy part because I know it can handle it better than the Ninebot. Well I am barrel shaped or turtle shaped. Helps with head on winds😏, not so much for side winds 🙄 Or so I keep telling myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like you were born to be an superhuman lol You've quickly had picked the basic skills up! I'm not recording anything, usually my wife is out when I'm trying not to kill myself I can tell, it's best to go out where you've got plenty of space... Anyway everyone is advising to go out, and I know it too But I'm not rushing up, I'm a bit busy with unsuitable working hours, the painting, training, and EUC learning curve Just waiting for a day off and a bit improved weather. But to be honest, the way I've started my first steps suits me well. The point is, that I wish I could stand on my own on the wheel,and learn the very basic skill just to be able to set off and go without immediate falling off the wheel. Actually this is nearly the stage I am now. Yes,I still have to use the support to get on the wheel, but I'm managing to ride a bit freely. I think it'll be enough to set off on field of grass to improve the riding technique. I'm crap getting on the wheel yet You've mentioned your "carpet" idea, I just have shown my Dalmatian to my wife... Yeah, I know,that she knows I'm not an intelligent man ;), but I don't want to know what her poker face meant, while watching my Dalmatian ... hahahaaa Divorce is on it's way, lol I've nearly forgotten - first of all we have to get married Thanks again for keen words and video sharing Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same principle to begin with, grass is hard to ride on unless it's really flat i learnt in a cricket pitch it was super flat so made it super easy for learning and felt safe and more confident , Once you ride the stopping, going slow, stepping on will be easier 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do it, but sometimes you've got the feelings that it will kill you one day I did walking too. But it takes about 50min one way, it's 4 miles. It's very boring ... You walking,walking,walking... if you know I mean I were looking for some solution, to make commuting enjoyable. I think I've found it I can go out too, for photography journeys around the area Cheers Stephen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until you can ride that wheel, then one day you have to walk for some reason. OH MY GOD! does walking suddenly feel SOOOOOOOO boring, and SOOOOO SLOOOOOOOW!. Don't worry about one leg starts; learn how to ride first, use objects to help you re-mount, get some miles under your belt. Later you can add one leg mounts to your riding. I think I had 3-400km of riding before I decided to learn one foot starts. By the way. Take those stupid dots off your leg pads, they will only catch on your trousers making things awkward and possibly dangerous. Your focus right now should be learning to ride the wheel, as it is, and as you are (with protection of course). Stop trying to reinvent the EUC learning process, with dalmatian dots, magnetic ankles, and ski poles, and God knows what else you are imagining for the future. Get outside, get on, and ride. Ps, I'm old, unfit, I learn slowly, and my tyre pressure was insanely high, but I was riding by day three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interior rider, and let it be this way please I want to see you wheeling around some of those parks that @stephen rides in his videos. Biggleswade has nothing like that. If I'm not wrong, Bradford has canals too. Canals are excellent places to ride (not actually in the water) but you need to be a good rider or one slip and your wheel goes for a swim. Although most dalmatians can swim, yours can't. 56 minutes ago, PogArt Artur said: Unless.., I'll found you and you'll have to agree to Death Race Challenge!!!

It's a shit hole! I only go in there to shop and pick people up at the station. I live on a farm in the country.

I thought it's your home town I imagine for short visit it might be interesting place,but living there not necessarily Country side sounds good to me anyway! You choose the place we race then my friend, lol. I saw only some online photos,it's lovely there - basing on them In Bradford canals.., well, there is a Canal Road though! But you're right regarding parks.., fewer near by. Thanks for another excuse to go out - my Dalmatian can't swim! So I stay home then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PogArt Artur Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Guys, could you recommend gloves with wrist protection fitted please? I'm just returning the gloves,that I've received yesterday : https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F232929944173 They have been promising on the photo,but so softly made in real life. I would say,they're common leather gloves without any shield over the fingers or so, just with soft pad fitted for wrist support,lol I have wrist protectors,but I wish to wear the gloves at the same time,problem is it won't match. So I'm looking for gloves,that'll hit two birds with one stone (just saying,I love birds and Dalmatians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
