So you convinced me, Easy rider had stock on Wednesday, stopped there today and no Xr’s left.. Just the pints.
They have a new order in, hope they show up quick! Name on a list. Tried to give them money to get to the top of the list but they said no. Don’t worry they order 10 and the list is 3 at the moment.
Have you ridden both pint and XR? What’s your comparison? I foresee more more rural than urban riding for me.
. Just the pints. The XR is definitely easier to learn on. I go back and forth between both the pint and XR. Pint is loose, easy to carve. XR is stable and fast. If I had to choose one it would be the XR.
Thanks. Ya gonna start with an xr then prob get a pint or 2 for the kids later! We will probably be riding more off road or rough terrain than sidewalks.

Yup they’re not cheap. Even the accessories are expensive. Also I wouldn’t recommend learning on one without a fender. You’ll end up with ankle burns from the tire.

there's a 1" square scar on my ankle ball from last summer still... showing off... lol I stuffed the nose badly climbing on the Needles / Faquier ferry hill... when you hit pushback, just push harder!
I agree, get the fender immediately
I wish they made bigger footboards for the Pint, the soft foam XR big ones look comfy

I've never tried one but might buy one. I think it would be handy to have in the grain truck so I don't have to walk home. Also this is very interesting...
What accessories are must have beside the fender?

I’m planning to get the fender, mag handle, and front anti stab wheels to start when I can get an XR

I know a few guys that use them for going from field to field. Toss them in the tractor and away they go.
Rail guards keep the metal parts looking good underneath and they are cheap. I also have the fangs on the XR. They give you a split second to jump off the board if you nose dive. I did have to adjust the board so the nose riders a bit higher.
Avoid the temptation to go as fast as you can in a straight line. Anyone that has been on my boards that tries that has ate pavement at about 30km/h.

After I had a few bad wipeouts I went to the interweb to see how bad some of the wipeouts are and compare them to my own. This one is my favorite, not a One wheel but close enough LOL.
