JimB Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Sometimes the EUC feels like ice skating. I'm wondering if it's even possible to transition from forward to backwards while traveling in the same direction (like a skater would). Anyone know if this is possible? Video? You'd have to ride forward at lets say 5mph and then suddenly swivel the wheel 180 degrees and continue at 5mph (now backwards) without stopping. I'm thinking you'd fall on your ass. I certainly would. But curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimB Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Well I'd be a little pissed at some a-hole riding through my garden (0:50). He kind-of does what I was asking at 1:30, though it's coming off a 18" drop. After the drop, he switches from backwards to forwards, but he doesn't turn a complete 180 (more like 120 for an instant and comes out at 90.

ir_fuel Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 @Sidestreet Reny Could you make this man a demonstration video of what he asks? I'm pretty sure it would only take 30 seconds of your time. Oh, and don't to it at the beach. Not interested in seeing sausages flying around whilst spinning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve454 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4R2AQThOwa0 This guy almost does it at 1:17, but turns his body around and continues backwards, instead of spinning the wheel 180. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly would. But curious. Yes, it's definitely possible. It's part of my daily practice routine, but I can't do it above about 7 or 8mph. It means that the wheel has to switch from +7mph to -7mph in a very short period of time, far less than a second. I am not sure I can do in on tar and don't want to waste my tire in trying.

Of course your momentum is continuing, so even though the motor is changing directions, I suspect it's not too much actual work (energy) to make that switch.

Yo @JimB just after I took time to and even thought about making the video for you, I realized that you were just being mean and actually disliked my video. Yo, if ya don't like my riding that's cool but, theres no need to call me an ass hole dude! BTW It was an evil law firms garden and I rode through it for that reason, if you looked right after that clip there is a close up of the sign I was clowning. No flowers either.

I doubt your mother would like it if it was her garden. And even if you dislike the law firm, remember that there's some poor gardener who is spending his time trying to make it look good.

I know that you are familiar with this guy, so maybe you might recall his name. I even remember to mentioning him in another thread a couple of months ago. The video is from a guy who rides an older KS18 - a young guy (~30's ?). He has some amazing riding skills and does the forward-to-reverse maneuver on his KS18 multiple times in the video, and on pavement (not shiny cement like in the KingSong factory). I think he's located in a north eastern part of the United States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those KS18A review videos showed him doing those forward-to-reverses and it was very impressive, especially considering that he's doing it on a KS18 I always find it strange when people disengage from the Internet and remove videos, etc. Oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
