OW Stand $9.99

Exactly. Just did that this morning at the park.
Kids on bike, pets, pedestrians and I hop on grass and hit another trail.
Besides, there's a big difference in cruising quality.
On the OW, it's like you're floating around town.

@BriFi @sonny123 I don't have a Boosted or any e board, but having longboarded for 10+ years I always think about it when riding my OW. Sooo many situations where I think to myself, I couldn't do this on my board. Zipping into the grass to avoid pedestrians, big cracks, railroad tracks (biggest buzzkill on a board lol), poorly designed sidewalk to road cross sections where the decline and then incline is too steep, etc. I'm hooked on the OW and only had since Saturday.

So, this is my first board, analogue or otherwise. lol, yeah, so much for baby-steps right? Ain't got time for that! I'm getting old!

I ordered the OW when I put in my pre order for the Gen 2 Boosted Dual+ that's coming out. Now I am thinking to myself: Self, do you "really" need the Boosted, now? I'm on the fence. I'm so in love with this board. I "think" the Boosted would still be an awesome board to have, as well, just not sure of the utility of it, since I can take this practically anywhere, whereas the Boosted will be limited to hard surfaces, only.

I'm a few months out, on my Boosted order, so I have time to mull it over, I suppose.

Decisions....

@Wrex I just can't think of any time I'd rather take a longboard type board out vs the OW. The OW is too versatile.

@Wrex Just depends if you need to go fast or not! Seems like the boosted board makes for a GREAT cruiser/transporter where as the OW is a fun machine.

Yeah I'll probably still get the Boosted, just cause. Plus, if I have to ever have the OW serviced, at least I won't be totally out, while in doing so.

Two different animals, for sure. Why not have both, right? lol.

[hustle]

@Wrex my dad told me to try the boosted since he had the ow but once I tried his ow I was sold.

@BriFi With slight modifications the $9.99 stand works great. Cut off about 3/4-inch off the front lip and notched it down about 1 inch on the sides and bam, onewheel nose slides in nicely is grabbed firmly by the stand.

[BriFi]

@groovyruvy Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[BriFi]

Here's another cheap option as well. No idea if it works but wood looks nice!

I'll post my stand photos later..

£7 guitar stand. Class!

[sonny123]

@thehoff

Matching color.
Can't ask for more. :)

[MichaelW]

This is a great idea but where do I put my guitar? LOL.

[Zen.Potatoes]

@MichaelW You can then probably use one of these for your guitar... https://onewheel.com/collections/accessories/products/onewheel-wave-stand ;)

[polysix]

I got me one of these acoustic guitar stands. Works perfectly with no modification. Thanks for the suggestion, @sonny123

[sonny123]

Picked up yet another guitar stand that was recommended on FB page.

But it turned out pretty wobbly and unsteady.
Nothing little mod. couldn't fix.
Remove those rubbers so OW sits a bit lower and the tire can rest better.
Bring the bottom closer in and get it fixed in place.
Now sits pretty nicely.

[AceCannon]

I am going to try this one:

I just lean my board against the wall. Works great and it's free.

[groovyruvy]

@lirou per my wife who indulges me this silly Onewheeling habit, that's a surefire way for me to get less OW'ing time :)

[yojimbo]

@sonny123 Yeah, i'm interested as well in the "carving" difference between the 2 boards. I'm imagining a harder carve with the Yunee board, more like packed and groomed snow vs the knee-deep powder ride of the OW.

[lirou]

@groovyruvy Just tell her, the longer you stay out riding, the less time it will be leaning against the wall. It is a win-win! =D

I posted some pictures of another guitar stand which fits the OW really well...

I found some .stl files online that a guy created opensource for a OW stand, so I went to 3dhubs.com and put an order in to have it 3D printed in a clear blue design. Cost me $38 shipped, had it in about a week, and here's how it turned out. I'll post up all the details if anyone's interested

[jeff8v7]

@jonnyk Nice! Please post details..

[jonnyk]

@jeff8v7 Here is the link to the .stl files, all credit to Tazikun and much thanks for making them opensource:
Download from Thingiverse
Next I went to 3DHubs.com: (use this link to get $10 credit on first order):
3DHubs
I got a quote from SOC3D, the print settings were Rostock Max v3, PLA 300 Transparent Blue.

They've got a lot of really cool 3D print items at Thingiverse!

did it work?

[tm1nor]

@sonny123 thanks. Just ordered it.

[wheelrich]

With all the pads and accessories available, someone needs to make an adjustable one. I have 2 different stands for 2 boards, and they almost don't fit anymore. I have to store the boards upside down. One more mod and they are worthless.
