silberbergka Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 After putting 1000+ miles on my s18 and learning how to bomb down 30+ stairs, ride up stairs, ride on one leg, ride backwards, spin in place indefinitely, etc. I was riding casually and hit an unexpected 7 inch deep pothole in the middle of the road. Totaled my s18 I think I’ll have to replace the mother board.. the trolley handle is shattered and bent too. Having major withdrawals walking everywhere now. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanCar Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Any videos of riding upstairs? I should learn how to ride up curbs. Plenty of them where I ride. Ideally it would be nice to have a light unicycle so I could just jump onto the sidewalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellkitten Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Hope you made it out in better shape then your wheel! A seven inch deep hole in the middle of the road is really scary. Sorry to hear about your adrenaline machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alcatraz Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Sounds like you need a backup wheel, in case one breaks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to hear about the @silberbergka’s accident. Glad he seems physically unharmed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forwardnbak Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Damn. Sorry to hear, sounds like you and wheel were becoming good friends. Good luck with repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
