Going down at 31 MPH! speedometer | testing | GTS | top speed | 4k  

God damn. No matter how good your muscle memory for falling is, those speeds are too fast to properly react to unless you have some air time. Glad the wounds were minimal

When I was 14 years old a bunch of us were taking it in turns being towed on a skateboard behind a friend who had a motorcycle. We were trying to see who could could be towed the fastest... It was in the 70's so none of us had any safety equipment, I fell at 36 MPH after a speed wobble.... I still have the scar on my hip, I'm 61 years old now 😂😂😂

We appreciate you volunteering your body for science. I'll stay safely down at 25, but big thumbs up for letting me know what happens at 31.

BRUH!!!! You did that at 30% power?!?! DOH! I would not ever attempt anything like top speeds when below 80% on my Onewheel GT, and I weigh like 135 pounds. I'm glad you didn't get hurt too badly, but am sorry you ate any street in the first place. Having said that, the fact the board got you to 30mpg at 30% battery is quite the testament. The GT can't do that! In fact, one of my Number ONE pieces of advice for fellow riders is to ALWAYS KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR BATTERY VIA THE APP. The heavier you are, or the steeper the hill -- the more conservative you have to be. God Bless.

best crash on film ive ever seen

Having crashed a bicycle going 30+ I gotta say good call on the protective gear.

Crazy how resilient the human body it

Ouch. At 57 I’m liable to break a hip! Started on an XR, then PintX, and now on the GTS and after a couple thousand miles I’m lucky enough to only have minor get offs. 25 is fast enough for me!

Atleast he didn’t knock out with no one around. Not sure what one would gain from doing this. 30% battery is a poor time to top speed. Only positive I see from this is a okay lesson for others to see. Thanks for putting warning and do not attempts on screen

Speed runs with no gloves or wrist guards nutty buddy I've had my palm almost hanging off lol not fun I never ride without gloves stay shreddy brah

You earned that fall attempting this below 50%. But respect for your full send !

electric unicycle is your next upgrade

Well, you fared pretty well all things considered. I watched a buddy go down at 10mph on his e-longboard because his thumb slipped and accidentally pinned the brake. He’s going in for surgery on his collar bone soon.

Glad u walked away with minor injury. But, u hit that 31 with ease, float on player!

Thisbis the 2nd video ive seen today of someone testing top speed of the gts. The other dude seemed way more hurt thst you though. To me it feels mind boggling to try. I tell people if they want to ride 30mph comfortably, get an ADV that can hit 40mph. Or go euc. Onewheels arent made to go fast. Im glad you are ok.

At this point in One Wheel history, and with virtually every single rider/owner I know possessing the understanding that a high power status is critical to prevent this from happening, specifically at higher speeds I'll assume that I'm the stupid one for not know why this was attempted at 30% power. 3:15 agreed but glad you're okay.

Well at least we know the haptic buzz works thing was buzzing like crazy

On the flip side , *pun intented, spectacular footage bro.. glad your ok 👍

Kinda makes me wanna get those protective lenses for my insta. I ate shit the other day too but no gear and only 10-15mph I feel like an ahole not riding with gear but to each his own.

Anyone whose crashed at 20-30 (27) for me on my boosted board that shit will set you straight. I didn’t ride my board for 3 years after that made me respect the throttle and power for-sure!!

Bro how do you go past pushback without it nosediving on you

No wrist guards!!! Dude. Come on

After I watched this video I decided to do the same thing but on my pint X I hit 21mph then fell then pushed it even further and got hurt. DO NOT TRY THIS AR HOME

You also need a full face dude. No more half helmets

If youre trying to push speed, next time dont do it with battery that low. Id only try to break my record speeds with battery between 75 and 90 percent.

wow no wrist guards or hand protection...you do know what you are doing. Maybe haven't seen many skateboarding videos of broken wrists or fingers. Try falling at 47 on an EUC. Stay safe my man.

wonders never cease 😂 appreciate the entertainment@your expense. a GTS & a GT-Vesc will be my next two boards. #ForScience❗️🤙🏾

I will never understand guys that buy a one wheel to go in a straight line on concrete and crash. This thing as so much more to offer. Try taking your skill to technical trails it's actually safer ironically. 30 % battery? Are u thick?

This is why i wear a full motorcorss helmet and also a motercycle rated jacket with spine protector elbo pads and shoulderpads Will also be getting the jeans versions because going down at at 35mph plus sucks ass

It’s totally natural for us humans to test the limits of any vehicle designed to transport us, But the problem comes and a very dangerous one when the vehicle is a mono wheel!!!

Glad you're okay. Try a suspension EUC like a begode max et if you like speed. EUCs are eons ahead of onewheels in terms of safety.

Perfect run out, roll and protection. If only you can see your duty cycle.

I laughed at the beginning when you said a speed run on an Onewheel with a 30% full battery...never a good thing🖖

stupid games stupid prizes

I’m surprised that your pint x goes that fast. The fastest I went on my was 19mph

Not as painful as your next hot shower will be. I'm glad it wasn't worse.

Man I'm so glad you didn't hit your face on the pavement

NICE! ;) HAHA

Been there done that too, I thought it was a good idea before I crashed. Feel for you

I recommend to wear motorcycle coat with protectors when doing stupid things, you must have shoulder protectors to protect your collarbone

Damn dude! I bet that hip was crazy looking the next day!

Now this is a GT-S commercial!!!! pretty awesome and that was quite a Tumble 🤟🏼

You took that fall like a champ bro. Glad you are ok other than minor but painful injuries. Ive seen folks get permanently injured doing much less.

No wrist guards is wild bro 😮

you earned my respects bruh. I have never seen anything like this in the name of science. Hope you heal soon ⚕️

Something else to add to my "things people on the internet do that I shall never do" list. I'll just stick to the low 20's and call it a day 🤣

We have a saying in Alaska, there are old pilots, there are bold pilots, but no old bold pilots.

I know that land forward flat on the ground hurt 28mph when it hurt for me going forward flat on my gt at like 23mph😅

Damnnnnnnnn

Good sport about it. 30%!?! Yikes my dude... Speed run should really only be done from 100-80%... The voltage and kV of the motor matter most and anything lower than that is going to lower top speed dramatically. I would say only do it off a fresh 100% balance charge, not just "once the light turns green" kinda thing. I sit and watch mine balance, it doesnt take as long as FM says (longer since it's been done, longer it will take).. Also, Float life and/or function full fingers are your friends, i highly recommend both! Definitely the functions for serious runs. While you're at it, join me and the full face helmet crew. 😏 Hope you came out okay. Not barking at ya or nothing, just throwing out some suggestions. Sht looked painful. 🤙

No wrist guards and but more protection is pretty dumb

Why 30% battery though? Let’s be more realistic and be above 50/60 hell why not start at 100

A 30 plant is fckng brutal man😂😂😂

Ooops… you only wanna do it once 😐🇸🇪👋👋👋

I feel of the OG GT at that speed and have gone 34 on the S series

Science!

Always gonna be people who push the limits, respect though. I've gone down a few times on my wheel.

Need better equip for this kind of tests. Keep safe

When are we gonna see another speed attempt?

OUCH! Glad you're all good homie!

Why would you do this on an updated FM board (haptic buzz) on 30% battery. You never try full speed runs under 50% ESPECIALLY since haptic buzz was released

needed one of them sumo wrestling suits

How do you change make it go faster mine maxes out at 16?

That looks painful, 31mph is fast to fall at on a board, I sk8ed for so long and fell so many times but I dont think I was ever doing 31mph

Glad you're okay. That's nuts what happened to your camera though. The way the lenses are exposed makes it scary to film. But you did it. For that,, we thank you.

How long does the buz last usually ? Can I go 25 on my GT with a buz without falling ?

I hit 27mph on an xr but had no pads

Did I hear him right 30% battery!? Why would you do this on a low charge?

🍒on esk8 only wiped out twice at 32mph first month while learning to ride. Check for cellphone/keys, in 15sec riding away. soreness and hips/shoulder scratches. gone after good night's rest. 😱 OMG, it really makes a world of difference when you're on a single wheel vs four. Onewheels/unicycles your knees go down first, skateboard it's hands then elbows. That's what allows doing an appropriate tuck and roll since skaters need to be better at falling than riding anyway. watching you picking up pieces after onewheel rolls down the road is heartbreaking 💔 after hundreds of bailouts/potholes/curbs/stones can't remember a single time my esk8 flipped over. Actually watched lotsa accident vids before purchasing and mechanical safety beats electronic safety any day of the week. heck, one time after swapping to street wheels forgot to tighten one nut, wheel came off at high speed down the highway 🤣 I sheite you not... I barely noticed. why is the skateboard tilting to one site? slow down looking everywhere... nothing. Then I see a wheel rolling down the street 🤣 after a ton of mechanical/electronic catastrophic failures never wiped out (after the first month I was learning to ride, ofc) 😎 HAHA Speedy recover m8 💪

Try going down at 45 mph it sucks worse

I'm glad you walked away from that. I have an XR and it's fun to ride but if want speed and performance get a EUC. It's not worth messing yourself up trying to make a onewheel do something it's not made for.

I’ll subscribe to that

Bro. That hurts at 20. 😆

I'm glad you lived to tell the tale. I experienced a scary nosedive at 39% charge on my OG Pint on the 4th dash attempt with no pushback warning when I got tempted (wasn't planned) to beat my own top speed as I was fully geared. Since then I never trigger pushback while riding or speeding up. I think you can even gain a better speed with the stability of avoiding a nosedive when you ride with the lighter sensor side as the rear.

I can clearly see the tilt back in ur footage @2:03 to 2:05 and then watching u forcing through the push back… I think this board has an improved push back window…. Like a good 2 second before the rider licks the ground.

i just crashed a gotrax g4 at 20mph.. stage 2 ac joint separation, im 5 days healing now.. but already had my new arich f15 up to 45 mph earlier! couldnt imagine wreckin at that speed lol. but hey, man. glad you didnt get too banged up 👊

The function wrist guards have saved me and at least you had knee and elbow pads. Running out going that fast gave my foot plantar fasciitis for 3 months and my shoulder is still not the same

Took that like a champ tho lmao 👍🏻

Gnarly, quality bail 🦾🦾

Flying on the board. Glad you okay. 😎🖤

Got the shot tho...

Wear gloves?

Crazy, I am currently recovering from a Tibial Plateu fracture doing the same thing on my eSkateboard

How

Bro you’re crazy for this

Garage sale! Glad you’re alright brotha

thought the S had a top speed of 25mph?

Very good bail

Imagine how much power that board is wasting with that stupid buzz 😅

Dude, that board is screaming at you!

Triggers my memory of dumping on my onewheel. And yes, I was pushing the limits too. Broken wrist bone, hematoma on my hip, and lost a few seconds.

I think 30 was a good place to stop

YOLO!😆

I was crusing on my GT at 21.6 mph when my battery suddenly cut out on me and it nosedived me onto the pavement. I was loving the ride up to that point. ALWAYS know exactly how much power you have left in your battery!!! Float On Friends! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I have a scar on my hip in the exact same place.....

Hell yea!!

Crazy

The hip hurts been there done that brother float on man!!

Bro you need our new Pro Hip Pads!

Ouch.
