    Anyone ever find one side will hang lower than the other while using it? For example, right now I ride goofy (right foot forward, power switch side up) and I ride in elevated mode and it works for me, but I find Extreme hangs way too low (I feel like the front will hit the ground, thats how low).

    So the other day I turned the OneWheel around so the otherside would face forward and Elevated was way to high for me and Extreme felt like what Elevated felt on the other side (not too high, just the right amount).

    Month back when I was still learning, I had a fall and the front of the board (power switch side) hit a concrete block and is a bit damaged (bumper is pushed back a bit covering some LED's).

    Could this have caused the issue with that side hanging lower than what it should or is there something I should try?

    For a while I rode elevated but then decided to go back to extreme and stick with it.
    After I got used to elevated, extreme felt a bit low on front but eventually felt normal again.
    Stay with extreme with sensor pad on front and allow it couple days and see if it goes back to normal.

    @sonny123 is right too, I doubt there's anything is wrong with your board, just perception from riding elevated.

    @jordo Thanks for the link! You guys are probably correct, just used to riding higher so when it dips in Extreme mode, feels like it'll scrape.

    I think I will probably stick with Elevated as the roads/sidewalks in my city aren't the smoothest so lots of lips that stick up an inch or so that I don't want to ever catch (again!) :P

    Thanks :)

    Judging by the topic title I really thought this was going to be a discussion about balls
