Causes of Foot Fatigue & the New Onewheel Viper Footpad!

Cobra HAD been my favorite to date (between stock, OTE and Kush) but I upgraded to the Viper while down at FLF3. I went with the standard grip since I ride trails so much. WOW! I don't know why anyone would buy the Cobra now. Like you said, it's very similar but that little bit of squish is sooo nice!

just got the onewheel pint. my feet hurt. At least I know I'm not alone. Cheers

I think the biggest causes are not being loose and not carving enough. Carving constantly allows your foot to move and increase blood flow.

Great vid. I thought I was alone in my foot fatigue. I'm an older Onewheeler and assumed all you young bucks don't have a fatigue issue. Glad that you included the foot anatomy details as well. Ultimately, it's like any other exercise - build stamina over time. However, I've noticed that my rear foot fatigues more quickly each time I ride.

I never rode a board before this year. I bought the XR mid June now have close to 900 miles. I have the kush low on my board I do not get much foot fatigue anymore. Two Biggest keys in not getting the fatigue in my opinion is, lose ankles and Carving. they complement each other. Practice more off road , grass and dirty with bumps to loosen up the ankles. Tight ankles = fatigue calves and feet. I get about 18 miles per ride on average, I used to brake every 6 miles or so but now don't stop until I have to go charge. Great videos Jimmy. Hello from Canada! Ehh! lol

I've been using the one tail extreme since my first video and the aggressive lip allows for those significant last second board movements. Great comparrison and information as always, Jimmy!

Love the videos Jimmy! I'm in Colorado Springs as well. Got 150miles on my onewheel since I got it five weeks ago

Thanks for this video! I'm a new Pint rider and loved this info! Keep it up!

Great video Jimmy. I've got just under 20mi on the Pint now and my last ride I was having major foot fatigue. Bad enough I had to stop ever few minutes into the ride. Then I changed up my stance to have more of my heels on the deck and it made it so much better. I'm used to an aggressive concave on my longboard and had the same foot fatigue on it. I feel like the key to having less fatigue is getting off your toes so you don't stress the arch of the foot as much.

On my first month or two of onewheeling my feet would start killing me every 10-15 minutes and my solution was to come to a stop and shake my feet out. After watching your video about carving and when you got your first onewheel I realized carving could really help me. After that I completely changed my riding style and tried to carve everywhere I went. Recently my feet have been really sore and I think its because of the large amount of riding ive been doing. I am looking to buy a concave rear footpad to help but in conclusion, carving was the key for me.

I lived near Garden of the Gods a few years ago due to my job. I would run and take my bike out there. Wish I had a OneWheel at the time. I have a One Wheel XR. Can't wait to go back. Your videos are great.

Self myofascial release might help. Place a lacrosse ball (or a tennis ball for a mild version) under the arch of your foot. Lean forward and apply weight on the ball. Slowly roll the ball back and forth along the arch of your foot for about 30-60 seconds each foot and repeat a few times. Throw this into your morning routine while brushing your teeth... not while riding the Onewheel!

Garden of the gods footage looks sick, I dig it

Thank you for all the content you post Jimmy! It's helped me fall in love with my OW XR all over again mate. Do you use different pads to mix things up and keep the rides interesting? So you don't get too used to just one back foot pad. A bit like varying your squat stance if you like. I'm a bit like you, and don't like messing with the front pads.

My opinion based on experience: 1. Carving helps delays foot fatigue. Similar to moving around during planks :) 2. Stop to rest and shake, to recover mid ride. 3. Keep riding. Just like any other (isometric) exercises, it'll get better the more we do it. As far as OW accessories, specifically foot pads, I can't grasp how curvature and angle can reduce foot fatigue. One possibility is padding to dampen vibration. But I'm curious to hear your explanation the scientific explanation of how these footpads can reduce foot fatigue. Looking forward to the next video.

Oh snap u were in co springs dope I live there and watching your vids I made me get a pint and I will have an Xr not too long and the second place I took my pint was garden of the gods keep up the good content

What I've found interesting is that since getting the Kush Hi, now my front foot experiences more fatigue. I've been playing around with my stance quite a bit and even have noticed that the more I turn my torso to face the front, the more front foot fatigue I experience. So adjusting my torso to be slightly more side facing, which means my torso and legs are facing the same direction, is better on my front foot. I think that padding on the back is helpful, but it is in no way the all in solution. There are so many variables. Great video, Jimmy!

the for trying the Cobra...I was curious also.....I dont ride with my back foot so far back, maybe closer to the middle....but judging from the design....seems to absorb the vibration of the road...with its foundation material....

Great info! .....a small request. Can do follow up on the grey Cush foam pad that came with the viper? I’ve had a cobra with pro ride pads for about 6 months.....without the first 3 weeks I shredded em pretty bad! They were $50 I think....an kinda junk quality, however still much more comfortable than without, so I keep em on still . So , jus curious if maybe different materials and life span. I know I definitely move my feet around quite a lot as I am a somewhat aggressive rider. 🤷‍♂️ Aloha 🤙

Great video and at the right time! I just got my Pint and began to experience foot fatigue. It is usually on my rear foot so it is nice to know I am not the only one. It was also nice to know there are other third-party accessory vendors besides OW and Craft and Ride which are a bit expensive in my opinion. I noticed your fender, can you tell us who makes it or if there are inexpensive ones out there?
