I finally decided to get a OneWheel Pint. As a previous Boosted Board owner, I was excited to see how this compared. This is the most fun I've had in a while. Here are my OneWheel pint first impressions after owning the board for just over 24 hours. Who's the OneWheel Pint for? Should you buy a OneWheel?

  • Have had my Pint for 2 months now love every second of it. Was hesitant at first because of the price tag but I would say to anyone considering buying it very well worth it. I was kinda a home body before but not anymore this thing forces you to go out and explore.
  • I recently got my pint. I don’t have any prior board experience so it’s taking some extra practice to get used to, but I’m enjoying every minute of it.

    Great video!! I just tried my friend's for the first time this weekend and it was awesome, gotta get one now.
  • Gotta say this is a pretty accurate rep of the learning curve and buying new gear curve. I'm a 3 year XR rider. Was a bit wary seeing a disappointing insta360 one x2 video of yours but props and criticisms where due. This one, excellent info and production quality. Nice!
  • @scwdds1
    Just had the pint over a couple of weeks now and completely agree on all of what you said! The portability for my tastes are why I went with the pint. I fly my own plane and I literally stick the pint in my baggage compartment and take it to my destinations to get around close by areas to the airports I fly into. Great video!!!
  • @KaceySue
    Yes the pint!🙌🏻 I use mine a lot for filming.

    in my opinion, when people think simplestop is weird or feels like it's throwing you off, it's because they're going backwards with their entire body. When I do simplestop, I maintain the upper body centered, while the one going backwards is just my hips
  • Been wanting one of these for a while now! I already have an electric scooter for my commute but I like the size of these for bringing on and of a bus! Will have to buy a used one though as I can’t really afford the 950 at the moment! Awesome review! Also already hinted to my wife that I want one 👍

    Bought one to get to work and back. Live about 4 miles away. And it is so nice. I was riding a bike before this and yeah it still hurts my legs and feet at the end of the day (because of work) it is still a lot easier than a bike. Had a bad wreck and I broke my arm, broke my head open and had 17 stitches in 2 layers. But that was my bad for not buying a helmet or pads 😂
  • What are the top best "toys" you own? Because I completely agree with you assessment of the onewheel
  • @jakecease
    I thought simple stop seemed dumb at first but after getting used to it I can’t imagine not having it. I’ve had mine for about 6 months or so roughly 100 miles on the odo. It’s the funnest dumbest thing I’ve ever bought and Id do it again in a heartbeat👍👍
  • @DaddingAllDay
    Definitely something on my radar. I May need to drop a few pounds first, but hopefully within the year. I just made one big purchase, the FX3, this one may put me on the couch.
  • @rolithesecond
    Simplestop works great, you just stop, go back a tiny bit, but keep your weight centered. I usually turn it off though for whatever stupid reason (not having it on got me to into hospital recently).
    Hopping off is a good way to get off though, and you should practice hopping off whenever you lose balance before you do the awkward onewheel splits, I've been there. Since the "regular" way of getting off with the heel-lift is tricky and somewhat unreliable, currently my favourite way to get off is to do that thing where you basically smash the back foot down and just before you stop quickly lift off the front foot and have it touch the ground, while keeping the weight mostly on the foot on the board so it doesn't go backwards.
  • @ogdickwagon
    Thank you for your Boosted board comparisons! They are not the same at all but I'm coming from the V2+ and Mini X, both of which I put over 2000+ miles on in 3-4 years!
  • @TwerpZ
    Just gotta think of putting that thing in reverse terry when using simple stop, such a great feature. It'll delicately disable the board as you lean back. Learn the heel up stop method to transition you into not using simple stop so you can learn how to ride that thing backwards in switch stance, than you can wheel around like a graceful robot
  • @8oh8
    Great video! Congrats dude & float on!

    For the simple stop light off your heel on the front of the board
