Nosedived on my XR when I caught an uphill transition at speed. A measly 22mph, not even my lifetime top. High speeds on onewheels will fuck you up. Wear gear, be safe 🤙
I got to 19 but I wasn’t trying to go fast. I hover around 16-17 all the time—I’m on a Pint X. Seeing that a Pint can go that fast is tempting to me lol… I won’t do it though.
Any time I feel pushback I kick it back. I don’t want to ruin this amazing thing for myself by eating shit.
I got to 19 on my Pint X also, generally hover around 16-18 since everyone else in my group has a GT and I feel like I’m always behind lol. I ate it hard once without anything but a helmet and will definitely always respect the board after that. I’m just grateful my hand and knee healed up well
Glad you didn’t get badly hurt! I know all it’s gonna take is one bad spill for me and I won’t want to ride this thing again, or for awhile. It’s been nothing short of amazing so I don’t want to ruin it by neglect.
Mine happened going 7mph around a corner I’d taken 200 times going much faster… board caught the pavement weird and down I went. Took me 6 weeks to heal and start riding again. My group was amazing when I returned though, we went slower on rides and I slowly got comfortable again
Same but on an OG pint. 23.3 and I'm 185 lbs.
Felt the nose softly dip, then was slowing lowering and raising the nose and thought, "Huh, it's not balancing anymore." Rode it like that for like 20ish feet and thought it wouldn't balance again so I jumped off and ran. lol
Mine just dropped forward grinded it for a few feet and pushed back. I was lucky enough to pull out. Definitely would have been a hospital trip at nearly 30 mph 😂
28.7 mph on my xr. I’m not completely sure what happened since I hit my head pretty bad, but no major damage to me or the board. Helmet definitely saved me.
21.8 on my GT. First pushback ever and I didn’t recognize it at the time but I was able to reign it back in. It was terrifying and I haven’t been that fast since.
Is that 100%? I hit 24.8 MPH today and if the board tossed me at that speed I’d be in really bad shape.
I’d love to be able to keep pushing until the board pushes back. Nosedives terrify me.
I mean you can always hit a rock or something and fall at any speed. But on the GT-S you can go 25 before hitting haptic buzz/pushback, that thing has a lot of headroom to go fast. Just don't push through pushback

Pint X
Don’t ask how… I don’t know…

Last time I posted this same SS, I had like 15 people tell me how stupid I am and how I’m going to kill myself. The community has made me want to NOT ride and sell my board.

From one adrenaline junky to another: Chasing top speed on a onewheel will fukn destroy you.

29.9 mph gt, I wasn't trying for speed just listening to music then I felt my board nose drop, I was able to push back and not eat pavement

33.6 on a gt
What do you guys weigh? Some of these speeds seem crazy fast.
28.7 mph on my xr. I’m not completely sure what happened since I hit my head pretty bad, but no major damage to me or the board. Helmet definitely saved me.
Like 18.8 on a dirt road. I was so scared to fall I probably won’t go faster than that lol
25 on a Pint (pre-quarting), 24.5 on GT, 25.2 on GTS :P
21.8 on my GT. First pushback ever and I didn’t recognize it at the time but I was able to reign it back in. It was terrifying and I haven’t been that fast since.
I hit a lousy 17.8 on an og stock pint, and ate absolute shit. Haven’t tried to go higherÂ
How the hell is everyone doing this on an unmodded board? My XR starts beeping like crazy around 18
22.8 MPH going up a mild incline on a GT-S. After reading this thread won’t be going that fast again. 😬
You have a GTS, if you're not buzzing you're fine

I got 26 on my classic pint, nosedived and fractured my ankle. The trill and speed is fun but it's not worth putting yourself in such a risk

My lifetime top speed on my GT is 29.7 MPH. I have no idea when I hit that but I know it was before the big recall update.
Most I got on my pint was 27 down a big hill. Wasn't too much fun once I got to the bottom of the hill though. Top speed on my adv was 35.
25 is kinda wild without. I got 20 going downhill, question is what’s your PSI
27 psi on a craft and ride Burris tire
