DangerousDick Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 When you're walking anywhere, the first thing you do is 'lean' forward in the general direction and for a split second wonder why you aren't moving off before you remember that old fashioned method of getting from 'a to b' - one foot in front of the other! Or - you're walking along with your phone and you flick the Ninedroid app up to see how far you've covered and how fast you're going - and then close it down quickly when it can't connect cos you haven't got your EUC with you Has anybody else drawn a circle on a map of the diameter of half the distance specified for your battery/motor combination? In my case it's 17.5km and I've got overlapping circles from home, work, and friends houses - yep, definitely addicted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag_Rip Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 When you are in bed and suddenly think: Are all the windows closed? Doors locked? Coffee machine off? Then still get up to check if the EUC is plugged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I keep myself awake until about 1am Just so that can i plug in the wheel just so that it will be charged by 7am so i can turn it right off when i get up to go to work. If i have to drive somewhere and park more than 30 ft away from the place, i pull out the wheel and ride the 30 ftI went on a first date a couple of nights ago and as she was walking next to me i was riding the wheel slowly beside her the entire time. Whenwe got to the car, instead of opening the door for her, i opened the door to put my wheel inwhen i go to a store and the store entrance has a thepreshold higher than a couple of inches i turn around and choose to go to another store so i can ride right into it and ride to my seatit takes a little longer now to buy groceries, as it is kinda hard to be pay, get change, and put them into my back pack while standing on the wheel in one spot this above is actually the truth...do you think i am a tiny bit addicted?

SirGeraint Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 As I lay hear uncomfortable from the pain of the crash from my cutout (due to a firmware upgrade) I wonder how long it‘s going to take to get my 9B1 fixed or replaced so I can ride again.

BobbyDee Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I know I am addicted when I am out practicing in the rain shouting to no one in particular "I am going to do this TODAY, even if it KILLS me!"- while it is actually killing me, my ankles, legs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Eucist Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 You guys need to slow down, I'm running out of upvotes.I wasn't even aware that there was a limit. I just expanded the daily limit from 10 to 20 for upvotes and from 1 to 4 for downvotes. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I've been on a trip for a few weeks now where I couldn't take one of my unis. The other day I had a lucid dream about flying, but chose to fly about a foot above the ground.Me too! Exactly the same. Anyway I always get vertigo and out of control when flying high, so wheeling is as therapeutic as it is addictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zentype Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 EUC's! And some vids are just endlessly rewatchable. No kidding! I've watched some dozens of times now. I'll look back on some videos I watched when I first started learning and said "If I could get to the point where I'm riding like them I'd be happy" Now I was those again and realize I'm riding at that skill level now.Now I'm looking at more advanced videos and thinking the same thing as I was with the basic ones "If I could get to the point where I'm riding like THESE guys, I'll be happy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerpentineGX Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Since I go my EUC:- I fill up my car with gas every month and a half to two months. I don't pay attention to gas prices anymore.- Constantly thinking of where I can find a charging outlet should I go past "the point of no return".- Google Maps is now bookmarked. - Catered my wardrobe to riding my wheel.- Everything out of my riding radius isn't important, anymore.- Sunscreen suddenly became important.- Getting a new music album gives me a reason to put on the headphones and ride. Hell, a new playlist does the same.- Turn down rides from friends and tell them I'll meet them there (local watering hole - i.e. pub).- Rather take the train than fly to avoid the battery issue on planes. I'll figure out what to do when I get there.Most of the above became habit. So no, I'm not addicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoMarjamaa Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I went on a first date a couple of nights ago and as she was walking next to me i was riding the wheel slowly beside her the entire time. Whenwe got to the car, instead of opening the door for her, i opened the door to put my wheel inOk, my advice for the next time:- Ride to your date- Give your girl(/boy) a lesson in EU.- Profit.

Colestien Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Addicted? Don't know if I am, but I can say I'm one minded. This is Day 3 for me. As always I got up stiff, did some work to wake up and loosen up. Bam on the wheel. Feeling cocky the second time around the block....... Ya I crashed. Sore shoulder bloody right elbow. Cleaned and dressed it, hour later back on the wheel. 2 blocks later, feeling all was well, crashed. Right foot got tangled in safety belt. Sore rib, bloody left elbow. Cleaned and dressed it. I decided both elbows are bloody, I'm balanced so I road one more time and called it a night, I'm not addicted, I'm one minded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
