tmoua805 t1_iulsryr wrote

Yup, im from there and thats what im thinking. Looks like the trail that leads to the Goleta Beach

yertle38 t1_iumfxvx wrote

Definitely. The trail to campus point

Edit: dang I’m wrong! No islands in the background and the buildings are wrong.

Damn that was my guess too. Though those houses in the distance looked misplaced for where I thought this was (on the other side of the lagoon).

Nah it’s west cliff in Santa Cruz and we hate people who ride this shit on the walking path

ffelix916 t1_iulwfot wrote

Agreed. I woulda checked the dude.
Yes, it's funny. No, you don't do that shit on a clifftop walking path.

The bozos downvoting you have never walked on west cliff

Probably the kind of people that don't walk on nature paths as a rule.

Yeah, looks like Pebble Beach along 17 Mile Road.

Jerry was a quidditch seeker. Flew so God damn fast. Never did catch no golden snitch, but he never fell on his ass.

Jerry was a quidditch seeker, he'd say "Hogwarts Number One." With a petronus sticker on his firebolt, he'd toss a bludger just for fun.

Ahhhh. Ahhhh.

Pretty sure the inventor of the Segway died by going off a cliff while on a Segway. Just a thought!

Edit: cheers for the correction. In other news I'm pretty sure of, eating carrots helps you see in the dark!

"Dean Lawrence Kamen is an American engineer, inventor, and businessman. He is known for his invention of the Segway and iBOT"

Took less than a second to google this. This is how misinformation works.

By believing information you researched for less than a second? Fair play.

I’m sure the Onewheel people will foot the funeral expenses for this employee’s family.

This looks like a recipe to castrate yourself

He's on a GT so much less chance of nosediving but still a possible castration!

HanzoXHanzo t1_iundl0w wrote

Oh. What makes the GT one nosedive less? (I broke my arm going too fast uphill on an XR)

2

deckard1980 t1_iune02r wrote

More torque. I took a few heavy falls on my Xr as im quite big. Gives you more chance of pulling out of a nosedive.

I’m positive that’s a MAGwheel. Some people call them trotters.

deckard1980 t1_iumovp9 wrote

Magwheel is the non-patent Chinese equivalent. This is definitely a Onewheel. I have the same one

How do you stop those things anyway?

Fire2box t1_iumki3r wrote

You lean weight on the backfoot the motor either shuts off or actively helps slow down.

I wanted one, then the company thought it was a good practice for bricking the unit if you unplugged the battery like say if you were flying with it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/onewheel/comments/tjms29/future_motions_response_to_the_gt_controversy/

there's also a issue with them just taking off on their own.

Battery is too big to fly with anyway.

Ghosting issue was solved with recall and was only present when user hopped off board. Using simple stop or heel lift doesn’t ghost, even with bad sensor.

Enorats t1_iuov43w wrote

Those things are so incredibly dangerous. The slightest thing goes wrong (heck, even if it just loses power for any reason) and you're slamming shoulder first into the ground at relatively high speeds.

Their design leads to inherently more dangerous falls than something like roller blades or a skateboard. You don't continue in a mostly forward direction and roll, instead you tilt forward and then just splat into the ground.

Yeah, first thought for me was Asilomar Beach near Monterey. I was wrong, but it’s still funny seeing how many others thought the same. Linguists unite!

Holy shit this is the first time I’ve seen someone with a MAGWheel on Reddit!! I got like 5 of them. They’re half the price of the One Wheel, have more torque, range and speed but don’t have the balance assist so they’re a lot harder to master.

Sorry bud this isn’t that. It’s a Onewheel
