Yeah, when the doctors and radiologists start getting excited over your breaks and saying things like, “...very interesting.”, you know it’s bad. Sorry, man. That’s a real bummer. I just started with EUC’s this spring. An MTen3, then upgraded to an S18. I absolutely love mine and I’ve had no issues to date, but I’m 40 and honestly, I have very little desire for speed or tricks. 25 - 28mph is plenty for me, and that greatly reduces the risk of cut outs. Speedy recovery I hope, man.
Oh yes...deffo a case of 'learning the hard way' but that's why I feel ok getting back on ASAP...I KNOW I'm gonna take it easy. I only really wanted it to do Country trails (nothing extreme) so hopefully one I'm fixed up I can enjoy again. Cheers Lara Happy wheeling! 👍🙏♥️
hey I learn to ride EUC in these kind of hills, in san francisco almost no where is flat, hills every street. but wow, you broke your arm, you are not even going fast too. beside, if you broke your arm in San Francisco, pretty much you going to lost your house with the surgery like that, fixing bones, and staple you back in one piece, we are talking over 200K USD easily.
@@SlammDunkProductions my cousin broke both of his legs in a car crash back in 2003, surgery bill is over $52xxxx plus $25000 helicopter transportation fee plus his junk car storage fee $4500 plus $360 tow his car from crash site to junk yard, luckily he is single, not own any property and lost his job right after accident, end up he does not have to pay anything. I still remember that day I went down to Santa Cruz hospital to pick him up bring him back to san francisco. so in USA, specially in California, DO NOT get hurt if you are not RICH.
Hey buddy and sorry to hear about your EUC crash buddy. hope your all on the mend now and personally I have never liked the EUC machines due to having nothing to hold onto and only a single wheel
AHH cheers mate... yup they deffo take a bit of getting used to that's for sure, especially these bigger heavy ones! I'm deffo giving the wheel a rest for at least a few months and if it still looked new condition is seriously think about selling it.... unfortunately my crash left my brand new £2k wheel looking like a 4 year old battered toy 🙄
Probably depends on where you live exactly and where you plan to use it. My experience so far is that the Police dont care at all. As long as you not acting daft on it then you should have no problems. Also they are in the process of becoming legal. More and more cities are implimenting rentals and with the whole COVID thing its probs safer to use an e scooter than get on the bus 👍
@@SlammDunkProductions Yeah the stator company has been tweeting charts Arguing that micro Mobility is getting a huge boost From the pandemic But on the other hand The automobile industry has Seduced many Transit operators into spending Decades of capital Buying insane flammable electric buses 4 ridiculously inflated prices Based upon how much they can save over diesel Which is no metric To make such an investment diesel is obsolete The question is how much of the transit capital should be going towards micro Mobility And if you are going to have any large engines Obviously they should be powered by liquefied nitrogen Not electrons ! General Electric makes a 5 million watt liquid nitrogen turbine But all that is is a motor connected to an alternator Or to be more precise a turbine That uses the potential energy In liquefied air As catalyzed by free atmospheric Heat .

Heylo Dunk pal, that had everything' Excitement Hope Confidence Happiness Pain Sadness Regret and that was just the Entonox 🤪 Much respect to you and your woman over the last 5 weeks as we can all but imagine what you have gone through. So important that you have documented this, it might be the deciding factor if you have a change of heart about riding it again, a stark reminder. Peace love and respect as always, hope have the most amazing Christmas with the wee'n👍🏻 Davie
Haha yes all those things... I don't see me even stepping back on this wheel until spring time next year I haven't even switched it on to see if it still works ok...but honestly, if I do go for it again I will constantly remind myself I'm too old for broken bones and take it easy 🙂. Just about to head to Scotland today to spend a couple months in there. Will leave the Wheel in Newcastle! 👍 Thanks so much as always Little Bull I'm glad you enjoyed this video it was a pain to get edited with one arm but I had to make sure I wasn't gone for too long. ,🙂👍❤️
Have a safe journey my friend, I think there is a link to my Instagram in my profile page on here' plenty Scotland on there. I'm in Hawick loads, family are borders.
Don't give up on the EUCs man. This was a super unlucky accident. Scooters are more dangerous. I broke my arm on an escooter thanks to a small bump and have never gone back to riding one after getting an EUC. After thousands of kms riding EUCs I can definitely say that they're safer. And EUCs become safer and safer as you get better at riding them. After a few months it feels as safe as running.
Hey buddy sorry for the delay! yeah i hear you Arcadio. I am SUPER excited now to get home after Christams to collect the wheel and get back on it. Im going to be moving to scotland soon i think. Ive been checking some trails here close to the family home im staying in and it just makes me excited to see all the amazing places i could go. Everywhere i look im thinking "wow this is perfect countryside trail for wheel....i need it i need it" so yeah i cant wait, just fingers crossed ive learned my lesson and im not so unfortunate again. 🤞 i appreciate the support mate i hope youve had a great Christmas, thanks for taking the time to leave some chat! All the best for 2021 🙏
@@SlammDunkProductions You should send your video and a letter to the stator billionaire He is funding the development of that scooter which is billed for Public Health. The latest video they tweeted shows a doing 30 miles per hour Without it seeming to be going faster than walking.

I mean it seems to me that the standard of repair Is more for a philosopher then Drone controller Or however you want to describe your Vocation. The screws in there are a danger that's for sure And conserving the existing broken bone Seems like an odd Choice given today Surgical Abilities . You might consider doing aspirational crowdfunding campaign after getting an estimate To see if the world can buy you a new arm And get you off of the systemic painkillers entirely Because surely they could when they are replacing your bone from shoulder to Elbow In a multi hour operation Involving several surgeons Or multiple days even Pull the plug on the problematic pain Nerves as well. Most likely you don't want to get cut open again I got that but I think it would be interesting content for you to go shopping for what is possible
Out of curiosity, how long would would it take for one of these $2000 ambulances to come? If they have plenty of money, I'm sure some people would rather pay than wait multiple hours on the floor with a destroyed shoulder.
thats the thing...Here in UK we have the NHS, So it doesnt cost a single penny. So im supposed to just sit and be thankful its not costing me anything lol. I hear you though because in that situation i think id rather be $2k in debt for a fast ambulance than get a free one after 3 hours. honestly that wait was horrific!
@@SlammDunkProductions I actually fell asleep during the middle of the video because I turn the screen off To just enjoy the music in one ear As I'm going to watch the entire thing again to enjoy the music in both ears .

wow those feet were way forward, I'm sorry but I actually laughed. Why would anyone even think to put their feet that far forward was actually alright? Don't the EUC manufacturers make a manual with pictures on how to ride and how not to? Anyway I enjoyed your video and glad your ok! I came off in Nov 2019 (cut out on MSX 84v at 35mph) and broke my colarbone. So I know the pain!
Was too focused on being able to actually grip the new pads that I didn't even think about my feet too much. As I said in my video "was one of those brain fart moments in n life" live n learn eh?...plus am a proper noob on a euc. I shouldn't have tried to run before I could walk 🙄 ...collarbone?...ouch man 😬. Cheers mate. All the best to you. ✌️
they other guy with the wobble and fell is Marty Beck - one of the worlds greatest riders - and even he got the wobbles, it can happen on any make of wheel, it wasn't the pads or the forward stance that caused your accident, being so far forward meant you couldn't slow down but it didn't cause the wobble. I got a lump the size of a golf ball on my shin - mucho wincing pain - it took 7 weeks before i could walk properly. It could be tyre pressure, road surface, track line, speed, posture and any combination of those that start a wobble and the inevitable crash. I set my alert to 12mph and just cruise round the parks. it's soo easy to find yourself north of 20mph (which is pretty scary even for a seasoned skier). All the best, take care - fully body and shin shields etc. good job you had a good helmet!a
Cheers mate i appreciate that...makes a change from people telling me i am just a noob trying to ride too fast. (which was not what happened at all) Its weird, its been over a year since the accident but i still get the fear whenever i ride. Its winter now anyway so it doesnt get used but last summer it took ages to get any confidence back. Thanks for dropping a line Andy. All the best for 2022. 👍
6:20 tempting fate, I did the exact same thing when I crashed my car. I had just spent a lot of money purchasing and fitted a stainless steal exhaust system and new tires on the rear and I said to my friend "I've spent all this money so this would be the time I mostly like crash it right....?" 10 mins later me and my friend were upside down as I flipped the car under a bridge. I think you get a six sense sometimes with these things. luckily we didn't have any serious injuries Great editing with your video I was anxious the whole time. mate your arm looks like something from the walking dead, what a nightmare for you but look on the bright side... your not paralysed, brain damaged and you didn't lose any body parts I had a speed wobble only once on my 100cc moped doing about 55mph round a long sweeping left hand corner scared the life out of me its a common thing with motorbikes, some of my friends said you either power out of it or slowly slow down. what I'm trying to say is a can relate to your situations but forget about me I'm glad your on the mend!!! .. if I was you I would stick to 2 wheels minimum need to think of that baby of yours . keep safe
I know right! that was some 'foreshadowing!' me and my big mouth 🤣 I think everything happens for a reason me. this was really bad when it happened, it really messed up our future plan, my work, moving home etc... 3 weeks after this my Wife gave birth to our first child so we ended up having to move up to SAcotland so she could have some support instead of looking after me lol. You know i was out on that wheel again yesterday for the first time in over 3 months....Was going downhill and that 'Wobble' started again. I just jumped straight off instead of trying to fight it....No way am i letting that thing mess me up again....Damn its quite scary once something ike that happens right? really knocks any confidence out the window! 🙄
Man that sucks. But so do uniwheel machines 😂. If you want to do drone filming while you ride (safer vehicles) you can program routines into drones so you don't need your hands. Like follow and pan routines. It just means you have to plan ahead instead of doing it on the fly. Anyway take care of yeself ya madman!
Oh yeah that's what I'm gonna have to go back to doing. The activ track is really good nowadays so I guess I have to just get better and planning. I am not going to be doing any more funky stuff on the wheel so I'm back to my trusted Xiaomi (what do you ride?) I appreciate the advice mate. 👍❤️✌️
@@SlammDunkProductions Finally got round to hacking my M365 pro after being stuck unable to roll back. Turns out it never needed to and I could just flash it with Xiaoflasher. 20mph is scary enough on those two wheels 😂
EUCs are safer than escooters and eskateboards thanks to the large tyre. This guy just had a freak accident. I broke my arm on an escooter after 1500km of riding because of a tiny little bump. Now I've been riding EUCs for 3000kms and will NEVER go back to a scooter. I've gone over countless bumps and massive potholes that would have certainly sent a scooter front flipping into the ground in spectacular fashion. And most of the time when you fall from an EUC it's an easy fall because you don't have anything around you such as the steel pole on a scooter.
@@arcrides6841 I hear that so much and totally agree 👍👍👍 thanks Arcadio some good words there 🙏❤️ that scooter crash sounded awful!...glad your still around! 😉😊✌️
you leaned too far back to slow instead of keeping your knees bent and using your ankles. you have to keep your knees bent and stay ahead of the wheel at all times.
Nothing is free, you pay for it in TAXES, which are obligatory. Try not to pay taxes so you will see how FREE you are. In USA you can get medial insurance (quite simple), and then it is covered. Simple. However, you don't HAVE to pay for insurance if you decide NOT TO. That is called freedom. Do you think that in UK magically medical doctors work for free and have free medial supplies??
I laughed through this hole video but what's really funny is I just bought the same EUC S18 like 12 days ago and it freaking cut out on me going probably 25+mph or so on a take off at around 75% battery...Conclusion broken wrist, sprang wrist, sprang ankle, and a few rashes..going in to get my cast today and yes I'm in the US so it'll cost me more then I payed for the S18. On the plus side after it's all over I'll have learned to wipe with my left or right hand.
Damn yeah that sounds awful mate 😕 hope you and your confidence recover well. The wife doesn't really permit me to play on mine anymore ...maybe For the best? 🤔
@@SlammDunkProductions Compared to yours my problems more like a sliver or a bad hang nail.. I really blame myself because I didn't know you shouldn't push EUC's hard under 80% battery..I'll be back.
whats otg here? your new and drives to fast or for to long, then hurts your foot so then you pop back on? what the. think man think . heal up. only way you control it is the feet and ones done. chill out . leave it alone. learn you have to heal bro. You broke your arm cause your cant control cause your FOOT. cant believe you still think its just a fluke. two times bad hurts. arms fuxked. learn man. slow down before you hurt someone else.
easy to speed up harder to slow down. Cant squash with the wheel with a bad foot . only way to stop a wobble is to be squeezes and ride it out. if it happens a lot practice squishing so you just do it and dont think. lower tire pressure to help but watch drops and big bumps then but well make the wheel slower/easyer to ride. more rubber on the ground
Ive gotten better at riding over the past year, but im still a bit too afraid now to go fast....The fear kicks in and im like "No i cant afford another 6 months off work" Super fun to ride though for sure. Cheers HippoPig ♥
@@Sarajevomusic1 Im not no...Been back up in Scotland since November last year. Was kinda forced to move because i didnt wanna bring my daughter up in Grafton 'Half-way' House. Council wouldnt give us a priority move until the bairn was 8 months old. I couldnt wait that long so bailed. :/
When I stumbled across this video clip I thought perhaps you lived in Scotland, I don't know of any other euc riders that live in Scotland. Anyway, for a newbie that was insightful and frank video. Hopefully it will give other new riders pause for thought as falls are guaranteed when riding an EUC. While confidence is essential when learning, trying to do too much too soon can lead to disaster. Go back on your wheel again but give yourself more time to learn to ride and how to come off. It's all down to muscle memory at the end of the day. Hope you get better soon and the best of luck.
Yeah this all happened and was recorded/Edited whilst still living in Newcastle last year. Ive been Living back up in Scotland since start of the year and i still use the wheel. It took about 6 Months for me to properly get going on it again. I have a little local dessert shop, whenever its quiet i go out for a spin, but not far and not fast because the fear is always with me now. Its going to take a while for that to go away. With the shop and a 7 month old daughter the LAST thing i can afford is another accident 😬 but yeah i apprerciate the words mate 🙏 So you are in Scotland yourself, what neck of the woods?
@@SlammDunkProductions that was a quick reply, yeah I live in Dundee I've ridden for a few years. I Have got several wheels including an s18. Like you I don't get adventurous, I am a bit older at 75 I rarely go over 30 mph mixed riding. When I first saw your clip a little while ago I didn't realise it was from over 9 months ago. Glad you're ok now.
@@SlammDunkProductions When riding becomes second nature you learn to deal with wobbles and speed. I think it is important that you concentrate at all times while you are learning. If you are trying to film as well you are bound to be distracted making mishaps more likely. I think the s18 is quite heavy for a learner wheel. I personally found that I had to build up leg strength, in fact I still do. With a little patience your skill will come.
@@petercochrane1992 yeah what scares me just now is the 'stopping'. I feel comfortable riding it these days but I can't go too fast because when I brake from high speeds I ALWAYS get a bit wobble that scares me. 😬 Practice practice practice 🙂👍
correct i underestimated the danger...100% as for me single handedly ruining the reputation of EUC's?? lol behave yourself such nonsense. I can tell you for a FACT that were i was NOBODY could give 2 hoots about EUC's after seeing me. Nobody even knew what it was and had more important things in there own lives to be getting on with. Look 10's of thousands of people have accident everyday on various forms of transport....they are not ruining the reputations of that vehicle. Get off your high horse maybe?
The death wobble has happened to me before. When I went over 40 mph on my Begode RS High Torque, the wheel started to wobble like crazy. While wobbling I tired to stop by crouching low and I slide onto the ground hard as my wheel tumbled away from me. I dislocated my right shoulder but it's not as bad as yours (no offense). I'm still holding up and doing stretches to ease the pain.
yeah ive dislocated my other shoulder numerous times so i know that can be a nightmare also. live n learn eh? 40mph thats a beast! 😯 its been 3 month now since my accident and ive tried to get back on the wheel but im very nervous, i still cant use my arm properly. i think it will take a long time to get any kind of confidence now. i wont stop trying though :) Cheers mate!
OMG Duncan. Ive been waiting for your video about what happened. So sorry for you mate. Keep your chin up and hope you have a great time over Christmas with your new baby. You didn't say how your house move went, hope that went ok. If I lived closer I would have offered my help. Stay positive and I am looking forward to your next videos. soon.
I did mention our move near the end of the video. Just said that we had to cancel the move! 😞 With Rohanie on Maternity and me not being able to work for a while it was too risky for us. Just financially we may have run into difficulty. It's ok though, we ended up coming up to Scotland to spend a few months with family over Xmas....cheap rent (free) and support for the pregnant wifey 👍 we can think about moving back into a better place early next year hopefully 🙏 I left the Wheel in Newcastle with a view to collecting it once I'm back on form. Really appreciate the offer of help David that's kind of you mate 🙏 glad you enjoyed the video it wasn't easy doing a one handed edit 😆 hoping to get something up before Xmas mate 🤞 catch u real soon 🙂❤️
Hah yeah cheers Jay on the road to recovery for sure but still some lingering issues doing my head it....night pains still a killer but through the day not bad.....you what's killing me the most??...I'm staying in Scotland over Xmas and it's FREEZING UP HERE!!! 🥶 I have things I'm ready to start filming but damn I need to adjust to this cold. Also the wife is due to drop the baby tomorrow so anxiety is through the roof at the moment. I got a few cool things I wanna show to you guys before Xmas so hopefully I'm not away for too much longer 🤞🤞 hope your doing well bro through these shady times 🙏❤️
Oh my!!!! So scary, man! Those hours waiting for the ambulance sound like being in the desert with no water! It is nice to see you are healing well, so rest a lot, enjoy your child and thank you for taking the time to share your great videos with us, I guess we will miss them for a few weeks (perhaps there is a new gadget for changing dipers you can show us! 🤣🤣). Greetings from Andalusia!
True...so true...in all honesty that lying on the side of road in bitter cold for 3 hours... shivering with a broken arm...WAS the worst part for me.... people walking past me just saying "you alright mate"...and trying to make small talk lol I thought I was gonna die from pneumonia! 🥺 Distant memory now though thank god! Just looking forward to holding the little one, enjoying Xmas (if the government allow us) and then back to business 👍 thanks for your kind words Fran. All the best you take care the noo! ♥️♥️♥️
Is this your first wheel? I wish you had made a video just about putting pads on because you should NEVER EVER EVER put your feet like that. My god man. That's like removing the brakes from your car to make more trunk space. LOL. Hope your doing alright now. Also, I wouldn't mod a new wheel or your first wheel. Get to learn what you purchased and then decided how to improve it. I've never used modded pads and now understand how the wheels grip and how to improve that. Also, cruise at 25mph (40 kph); it's fast enough and you have better reaction time. Also, the way to get out of the wobbles 100% of the time is to cut left or cut right. This will throw the weight of the wheel to one side and you regain control of the wheel. You're not a rider until you've had your first wipe out, but you had about 5 wipe outs with that one. Ouch. Don't let it stop you, though. Buy better gear and start slow. There's no need for speed when learning how to ride. I learned on a much slower wheel (IPS60) that only went up to 20kph and that's what I would recommend until you understand how the battery functions, voltage sag, cold temps and such. Like an automobile, there is much to learn, but soon it becomes second nature and you stop riding and start gliding. =8-Þ
yeah i had no interest in going fast, honest i didnt...Simply trying to reach the pads at the front and by doing so didnt even think about my feet being too far forward to tilt back/brake....Was a proper 'brain fart' moment under the worst circumstances 😔 Live n Learn they say, but damn i hate myself for how stupid it was. I wil be trying to overcome the shattered convidence this year now that the awful weather has gone. I appreciate your words and agree with everything you say 100%. yes this is my first wheel. i knew it wasnt thew most beginner friendly but thought it was an investment you know. im not one of those boy racer types that need to go fast (or id got a faster wheel) just liked the idea of the suspension for doing easy going country trails or bike routes. See how it goes, the wife still nags at me to sell it! 🙄
@@SlammDunkProductions 😋 We all have our stories with our wheels. You've just got a doozy is all. 😉 Glad to hear that you aren't giving up on it.

Good luck and I look forward to watching more of your story. 😎👍
I'm a Nurse and rider. OR nurse to be exact. The instruments on the x-rays are so familiar. That's a lot of screws man! There are always crazy accidents from small falls. High PSI is also a factor, it should be on a right PSi for your weight. I hope you recover soon and don't get scared to ride again. Any accidents happen even on scooters. Chow!
Thanks man! I will take in board that PSI comment because I can quite believe mine WAS too high....yeah I don't know how they managed to fit so many screws in my skinny little arm!? But hey, live n learn right. Thanks so much rukisan159 👍🙏♥️
I wish you to fully recover. But I did not understand. If you broke your arm when you fell off a horse, would the horse have been the worst form of transportation? maybe those who drive are not good. ;-)
I don't even understand what your point is?...I'm pretty sure that 3 or 4 times in this video I CALL MYSELF and idiot and make it clear how stupid I was. With regards to the wheel itself, well ..it's a fantastic piece of kit and I absolutely LOVE IT!....seem like your trolling or somethin. Goodbye 👋
A proponent of Rapid technological advance @@SlammDunkProductions While helping Barack Obama Serve 8 years I was during his first four But I have learned a lot since then Including the potential for the wheel to not be obsolete for sometime . One thing I'm sure everybody can eventually agree upon however is that the propeller has been obsolete since we were born
Hey dude, very sorry this happened to you. My S-18 is on order so thanks for clearing up what cause the fall. At first I thought it was going to be because you were riding thru wet leaves and that maybe it slipped out from underneath you, but at the end you indicated it was due to foot placement because of the pads. I will not be getting any pads for mine. I also have been wondering recently whether pads contribute to accidents in general by making people go to faster using the wheel in a way different from what does designers intended. Glad you're on the road to recovery.
Yeah cheers mate I really appreciate that but in all honesty it really was down to a moment of stupidity. Like if I had thought for a few seconds longer I would have said to myself "no don't stand like that" but off I went 😞 ...I think because I'm 6ft2 really skinny it's just harder for me to reach the pads and yeah I wish I never bothered with them...I was actually getting the hang of things and growing a decent amount of confidence until I put those pads on and ruined my day. But hey I guess some experienced guys and girls will tell you it's all down to my mistake and the pads are great!? yeah it's gonna take a while to get that confidence back for sure. It's always gonna be on my mind. Tsk tsk me! 🙄 Absolutely fantastic wheel though, no complaints with it at all. Don't regret the purchase of the wheel it's a beautiful machine. Mate you will feel like a legend when you ride it hope you have a sick time with it. All the best 👍🙏✌️♥️
@@SlammDunkProductions For a number of years I have taken researching at the electric skateboard industry And pretty quickly the unicycle In fact I just spoke to an older teenager who aspires to be a Rap musician who has never heard of unicycles . He lives with his grandma who is one cool chick She sold me a bob Jogging baby stroller for a pittance In fact she's holding it for me so I can give her a pittance And 1/2 The unicycle industry Has issues with safety because much of the intellectual property is disputed So much of it is considered contraband Without the normal Segway training in advance of all transit operators that will be dealing with the machines .

i dont see why i wouldnt be with it being brand new, but who knows? i feel pretty confident it was my feet placement and not being able to brake/slow down when i needed to. Not been on it since lol (but i will soon) 👍
@@SlammDunkProductions new tires are likely to be unbalanced. Sometimes you have to reduce pressure and reseat the bead or squeeze out the inner tube to get it spinning without wobbles. But, based on your description of foot placement and not knowing how to use pads yet, yeah that’s sufficient to cause a wobble fall.
@@darkstar4494 yeah it was completely my fault...one of those 'stupid' moments in life I will never forget 😆 ... Been back on the wheel recently and getting on much better 🙂 cheers mate 🙏

I have a little one due any day now and I need to be able to hold her (and help out)...also when I do eventually get back on I will be riding it like the old stupid man that I am....slow n steady. I mean I only wanted in the first place for doing trails in the country not for racing or stunts 🙄 ....but yeah my wife totally agrees with you! 🙂👍♥️
@@dougchristie2041 oh and it's gonna be a girl!.....we were hoping for a boy at first but since finding out it's a girl we have really come round to the idea. Hopefully she will be cuter with less cheek and less tendancy to get into trouble...but that's just wishful thinking I know 😬🤞
Hey! thank you! :) I am i Am...getting there. I am in Scotland at the moment having Christams with family but i am SUPER DESPERATE to get back on this wheel now and start making videos again. I appreciate the support and hope to be back with you real soon 🙏 Merry Christmas and all the best for next year Chantara ❤
I broke my arm on an electric scooter thanks to a tiny bump. Now I've been riding EUCs (Sherman and KS16x) for 3000km and I can tell you that theyr'e much much safer. Haven't hurt myself even through all my learning falls. This guy was super unlucky for breaking his arm. EUCs can handle massive potholes, bumps and debris thanks to the large tyre. And if you come off you don't have a big angry metal pole right in your face. But you will rarely come off when you get good at riding them, unless you're doing tricks.
Tell you what Arcado... i cant belive how well the wheel handled the impact!...Sure it has a few scratches now but damn....the last thing i seen was the wheelbounce 4 foot into the air of the road kerb. do about 3 backflips before it smashed into the concrete path. i told my wife to hide it under a blanket at home because i didnt want to see it. was about 6 weeks before i had the courage to look at it and there was no reason to panic everything was 👍👍👍
I hear ya man, I went through the same thing except mine was a cut out on a ks14s (my fault) and I went forward and got one foot down then my shoulder dug in to the pavement. Full motorcycle armor, still broke my shoulder. Excruciating 3 months out of work (tattoo artist) and 2 yrs later I can’t lift my arm more than half way up. Pain and aches come and go, but that’s life. I hope you heal better than me, good luck.
ahh man thats tough...and here i am just over 2 months in and im feeling like its gonna be the exact same for me. Im surprised that im STILL waking up every morning at 4am whimpering like a girl reaching for the painkillers....and im surprised that just like you i cant lift my arm more than half way up. feel like thats as far as it will ever go now. i feel pathetic how little strength there is in my arm. lifting a kettle to make a cuppa is a struggle and im just TIRED with it now. Just had my 1st kid (a little girl) 14 days ago and i feel guilty how little time i can hold her for....thing is...Im DYING to get back on that wheel! Moved up to scotland with family for a couple months and the trails up here are super tempting :) anyways i appreciate your words Tatmandu 🙏 if i can get back into the groove within another month i will be happy. got a few cool things i wanna show my viewers, was hoping to get something out by xmas, but i dont think so now. Catch you soon i hope! All the best and have a great xmas/new year 🎄🎅❤
Man, you are one humble dude. I'm sorry that accident happened, but thanks so much for sharing because I learn from these videos. I've experienced wobble several times on my S18 once I pass around 25 MPH, but riding low and a glide without breaking, seemed to pull me out. And then there's the safety gear. The vest with shoulder armor along with a chest and back plate is so important. Take care, buddy!!
I've only just started going back out on mine recently....damn I love it! It's so scary now though...not riding the wheel, but thinking about what would happen in my life if something like this ever happened again. I was unable to work for 6months and I can never let that happen again, but it's all I think about when riding now 😔 you will know yourself though....that feeling off "damn this is so much fun' ....it's addicting. Such a joy to ride when all is going well 🙏. My next video will probably go for a fly around somewhere on it, for old times sake. Thanks Eric, you take care also mate 🙏👍♥️
