jimmymendoza Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hi, all!! Purchased mine last week from @Tim Haden at Hood riderz and is on the FedEx truck as i type. I feel like a kid waiting for the ice cream truck to pass by, so excited/anxious for it to get here. Glad to find a forum and other people that are into the Ninebot. Cant wait!

Jag_Rip Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 the welcome band is late again.. sorry for that.Are you prepared for some pain? Can you handle the sweet reward? What are your plans for the bot? Will you be commuting? Freestyling? Exploring?So many things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmymendoza Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 @Jag_Rip Thank you for the welcome!!! I will be using it for commuting and exploring.I thought I would be able to get the hang of this immediately, but its pretty tough. I started with the belt, then realize its better if both hands were free so i can balance a lot better. I now understand when you guys say pain but a sweet reward. HeyJust got my e+ yesterday. Whew..

Jag_Rip Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 its only able to do that in the first few weeks, after that you tamed the mustang and can ride it when and how you want it. Dont get tense, try to ride as relaxed as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickrho Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I just got back from my second practice and im now able to go straight and make turns without falling once. wow finally that reward came and it's an exciting feeling.Already wishing that it would go faster though.... sigh...

jimmymendoza Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Ok....such a big progress today. tossed the belt method and freely rode it. Can't say i'm a pro, but i can turn go for long periods without falling off. Now i'm just trying to see whats comfortable with my feet placement. SO FUN!!!
