You are absolutely right. I've ridden moto X, Atv's, jetski, escooter, eskate etc and nothing comes close to the feeling you get when you become one with your EUC. It's magical
It's great to hear from a fellow newbie. I've had mine for a whole week now! I cheated on the learning side. I've been mountain unicycling for years so the switch only took about 10 minutes to be ale to ride. Not ride well though! Trying the mountain bike trails here are quite tight and technical so I've been 'using' my protective gear! I'm looking forward to your opinion and chosen method to reduce that suspension friction. I'm already noticing it. Keep up the good work and ride safe 👍
Thanks for sharing your KS22 journey! You took some wild falls but love to see they didn't stop you from progressing and having a great time. I'm following your lead and making the first steps with the same EUC. Not easy to start but excited to get to a point where I can get out there and have a good time like you're doing
I've been riding for 2 years nex month and I must say I love it. It's nice to see the community growing keep practicing the basic drills as a newbie with such a heavy wheel it will take you longer to master the weight and height of the wheel. Keep up the good work
Just today I had blast riding my V12HT on the roads in the mountains. Euc is amazing fun. Really feels like you have some super power :-D. I have about 6000km on the clock in total since June 2021 and I am so glad I bought mi first EUC and learned this skill :-).
Thank you for sharing your learning journey Mike. I too am on my own journey with a Nik AR+ and it has been one of the most humbling, sometimes painful, but always exhilarating pursuits of my life. I feel EUCers are at the forefront of society, changing the world one wheel at a time.
Great journey, and thank you for sharing! The S22 is quite a wheel to start on but you got it. I got the KS-S18 and have been riding it for about 3 months and also plan to share my experience from start to present. “Keep the Shiny Side Up and the Rubber Side Down”!
Wow, picking an s22 as your learning wheel is SAVAGE! So much easier on a smaller wheel, like an 16s... Good on you... But Smaller wheels have their perks and advantages.. Fun either way!
Make sure you try a smaller wheel too. There's a heck of a lot of cool stuff you can do on small wheels and they're so convenient. Basically a laptop sized thing you can ride and they are so precise. The s22 is like a small dirtbike. It's heavy and awkwardly sized. A more serious wheel for sure. The m10 4 looks sweet, but if you do get small wheel, get something that'll go over 20mph and they are soo fun! And watch the pedal height too, because it's nice to be able to do tight corners.
Don't compete with others but test yourself against what others can do, don't focus on speed just enjoy don't push too hard. You’ll get there once you know you are in control. Get the little things right & the advance will be quick but be safe, But most essential learn from someone how to maintain your wheel.
@@MONOVIBEs2KX your just trying to progress and push yourself, falling comes with the territory, i just try to minimize the at speed on pavement falling lol, been at it for 3 months and now working on doing jumps, skinnies, small feature and work on steep inclines and declines. id like to be able to learn to go backward in the next 60 days is one of my next goals
Gratz on you finding euc’s and learning! I also enjoy. I would recommend to anybody watching this video to wear knee, elbow, wrist pads, and full face helmet (dirt or street) even while learning at slow speeds-falls can happen fast. Face plant would be very discouraging. (I speak from my own mistakes-though my chest and hands saved my face-close call). Thanks for video
Hey man great video! I usually get bored watching people just basically riding. What made yours interesting was showing your progress. It was cool to see how awesome you ride now vs when you started and eating shit everywhere lol. I feel like i can relate to you as well because im decently muscular too and sometimes you dont see a bulky guy riding these lol. Im currently waiting on my Sherman Max to ship out to me. excited to learn and eat shit too lol
Unless I'm really forgetful I think this is the The very 1st time seeing someone be this honest about learning how to use the wheel. I have been watching videos on it for a few years and I'm still not decided on wither I wanna buy retail or go wholesale to be able to have extra wheels and possibly start a business selling these... Possibly just do a hourly to full day training People on how to use these and fix them and such Business. I still have a lot of education to acquire before that..!!! 😎
I'm new as well been riding the Gotway MSX 84v for about a month now. In the urban car infested pedestrian hellscape that is Glendale AZ. Its not for the faint of heart or the weak kneed that is for sure.
I bought V11 couple of weeks ago , not so big and heavy as S22 but it has very good performance and stability. I can recommend it for newbies as a first wheel. S22 on the other hand is more oriented towards off-road while V11 is more like street commuter wheel. S22 would be great as a second wheel, to have fun, off road , etc . To have it as only wheel can be a bit cumbersome for people that use EUC as a daily commuter, too big.
My first wheel learned in 19 hours I would have learned in 2 hours tops if I didn't follow advice on using your dominant leg 🙃 once I trained both legs it was easy
I like the s22. but I mostly ride on pavement so I don't think I'd get one. I do an occasional trail but for the most part I'm in the street. I got a v12 like 3 months ago and started riding. I want to upgrade already but being in the midwest I probably wont get to do much riding until next year
I live out in the country, lots of gravel roads. The S22 was my "Jack of all trades" choice. I didn't like the aesthetics/build quality of the Master even though it had a higher top speed.
I also went with the s22 as my first wheel. sadly it stopped charging about 2 weeks ago. im waiting for a replacement charger but i suspect the problem is my main board reading a higher voltage than my batteries and shutting the charger off as a safety response. my main board has slowly been reading an increasing discrepancy from what the bms reports (up to 2 volts higher now) you had any issues with board or charger?
So far I've been blessed with a flawless S22. The only real issue is my own fault using PTFE to lube the sliders..... sliders squeak like a mofo now... so annoying
@@MONOVIBEs2KX i keep meaning to work on the sliders. i learned in a field so they got gunked up with pollen and i still havent gotten to cleaning them out and redoing the lubricant. ive heard that dry lubricants like graphite (or something, not 100%) are best also had some random guy tell me to use white lithium or something like that
@@GillamtheGreatest My buddy uses the graphene dry lube and his S22 is silent and his sliders work really well. Be careful though, it applies like a paint and drips....
I feel like learning on the s22 might have been learning eucs: hardcore mode, quite a few of those falls were undeserved really, gz on making it tho. I have the same idea about painting the s22 white, can you explain your process on that?
Hardest part was taping the Pads to keep the spray paint off the black. Other than that I just placed the parts on news paper and sprayed them. The red is brutal though, took like 6 coats to get it as white as I wanted lol
That's a heavy wheel tho, gonna be hard to learn on. I have the kingsong s18 for my first. It's beat up from learning but I can lift it in and out of my semi with one hand.
You're probably right. I made the newbie mistake of not calibrating my horizontal ..... I rode it for 2 weeks like that.... I was falling all over the place.... I just thought I really sucked :|
@@MONOVIBEs2KX 🙈😆......wow!! Well look it could only made you better in the long run ,if you can ride it like that it makes everything seem easier when set-up nicely 😄👍
Just a critique on your riding stance. I see a lot of bent knees squat position riding, this is bad if you get wobbles, 1:47 for example. This could be prevented if you break and straighten the the stance into a backwards side lean, in a sense its a breaking counter steer. Besides that, keep riding, bent knees squat riding should only be applied once you know the wheel fairly well and it should not be aggressive, but progressive pose, day by day. Keep riding its fun af.
Thanks for the feedback :) I ride pretty loose at this point. I think it’s mostly due to the stock pads. I don’t find them that useful. I think once I get different pads my style may change :)
Wen u order from them u can send it back to them they can do for u,they did my I don't know how to change tires and all but u have to pay them to do it only 160.00 they do for u
Yah... my legs were bruised for a couple weeks learning on the S22 😅 Also the more experience I get as a rider the more disappointed I become with the suspension design. Maintenance is a real pain in the butt...
Big mistake. Never buy a pro wheel before you have enough experience with the starter models. It might kill you. Big mistake. You need a lot of experience before having such a power. Stop riding it. Before anything happens. One day you might think okey i’m ready to push 70km top speed with this wheel (S22) ,but actually you’re not. Riding fast and braking hard is a different skill that you develop over time.
