Soccasin trail over sleety ice.

Somebody desperately needs some fresh grip!!!! 😂 This thread is awesome tho!

[blkwalnutgrwr]

@a_onekatie and @SlyFoxxx. 6800 miles on that grip tape. The treaded Hoosier 5.5 has been working great in deep snow. The Soccasin was great, too, but not for any gravel rough surface. I did get Geoff Oliver's "One Wheel XR Snow Chains" to use on frozen safe ice on ponds and lakes -- but have not yet done it. In the photo I like the Snow curl as the Onewheel pushes through.

[blkwalnutgrwr]

Winter underpass.

[Sponge315]

6800, Man that is amazing. While not a record amount of miles, considering what you are putting that board through, it is impressive.
Can't remember if you did the "Badger" waterproofing thing to that board.

Mid-winter makeover.

[blkwalnutgrwr]

Battery insulated against the cold.

[blkwalnutgrwr]

Crisp Onewheel track in deep snow!

Underpass arch to snowy trail.

Tearing up the fresh corduroy.

[blkwalnutgrwr]

@HanahsDax Nice! Great Onewheel bias on corduroy-groomed snow!

[blkwalnutgrwr]

Ice Cave Underpass!

Winter wonderland.

Sunny, Snowy, Woodsy Onewheel trail.

@blkwalnutgrwr Catching a lift home. Slopes are closed in CO.

Winter fade.

[HanahsDax]

@blkwalnutgrwr
Even though the vernal equinox has passed it’s still winter like conditions where I ride. Tracking freshies with the V1 and Vega.

[LidPhones]

Full Winter Fade (Iowa Style): Stay safe out there.....

@HanahsDax ROTFLMAO This might be my favorite pic I have seen on this board.
That we could all have graphic evidence of our biffs.

Onewheeling in a late snowfall with an umbrella - April 15th

[blkwalnutgrwr]

Time maybe to revive this wintertime riding thread.

fellow winter experts

hey so i was gonna create a secure place to store my machines, but it's not isolated. i'm in seattle, so wont get that cold. but i can get below freezing.

i guess that's not ideal cause the battery will get cold and will reduce my range? i should store them inside a heated area to get more range when it's cold? or is there a workaround

thanks

[blkwalnutgrwr]

@Swinefeaster -- A warmly berthed Onewheel is a happy Onewheel.

[blkwalnutgrwr]

Onewheel cable chains on my V1 -- created by a rider in Alaska.

[Lia]

@blkwalnutgrwr That's quite clever. Ever tried the snow sock Badgerwheel carry?
I got one 2 years back and it hasn't snowed since so haven't been able to try it yet D:

[blkwalnutgrwr]

@Lia -- The Badger Soccasin works great in snow, but it is not tolerant of much riding on pavement. Mine did not last all of last winter. Even these cable chains have started to fray a little riding on slushy pavement. I took them off now to wait for significantly snowy weather.

[Lia]

@blkwalnutgrwr Thanks for the heads up. I'll probably use the sock primarily for offroad snow riding then to keep it healthy. Doesn't seem to snow as much as it used to here in the UK so might not have to worry to be honest.

[blkwalnutgrwr]

Sticking snow with Onewheel track.

[Lia]

No snow here to share however we get some crazy lingering mist and fog in winter so I guess this counts. Been lingering for the past few days round me. Forgot what the house looks like across the way ;)

Really shows off the absolute unit of a main beam I've got going.

[HanahsDax]

[blkwalnutgrwr]

@HanahsDax -- Looks like an Original Onewheel with its head in the clouds of Colorado.

[blkwalnutgrwr]

Tracks in the snow.

[HanahsDax]

@blkwalnutgrwr Multi-use trail.

O Christmas Wheel, O Christmas Wheel...Happy Holidays!

Rode out to the entrance lights tonight.

[blkwalnutgrwr]

A couple inches of snow.

[blkwalnutgrwr]

Midnight at the oasis...

Unusual in Northeast Ohio -- not the snow -- but the palm tree on the way to a trail I ride.

[blkwalnutgrwr]

Snow build-up riding without a fender. The trail was not even excessively snowy. The tire just throws all the snow it picks up right up against my leading foot. Four miles worth here. And I forgot to bring my snow brush with me this time.

[Lia]

@blkwalnutgrwr Where's the Onewheel? lol

Just noticed the lift kit, how do you find that compared to stock ride height?

[blkwalnutgrwr]

Hi @Lia -- The lower profile does seem to get snowed over easily. I am finding the lifted ride refreshing. And it's almost bottomless dipping the nose for a tight turn. The ride feels so good I lifted both my boards.
(edit) With the steeper angle of repose, mounting has sometimes been trying for me in slippery snow.

[Lia]

Thanks @blkwalnutgrwr :) Glad I'm not the only one that had issues with the nose getting real low on tight bends.
I might try it on mine next time I'm looking at accessories, probably make drops a bit more graceful too without my usual tail scrape.

[blkwalnutgrwr]

Snow beard after Onewheeling miles in a blizzard due to lake effect.

[Lia]

IT FINALLY SNOWED WHERE I LIVE~!


Not much, but enough to end up on my tush more times than I'm willing to admit.

[blkwalnutgrwr]

@Lia -- Wet snow, wet grass, and a slick tire together can make dynamically unstable Onewheel rides.

[Lia]

@blkwalnutgrwr It was for sure, didn't have enough time to put on the snow sock before it got too dark to see ice on my way over so took my chances. Totally worth it regardless ;)

[blkwalnutgrwr]

Snowdrifts over the roadside ditch.

[Lia]

@blkwalnutgrwr How temped were you to bail off and jump in?

Looks so soft and fluffy!
..... and cold

[blkwalnutgrwr]

@Lia -- Me? I am not much tempted to Onewheel into a snowdrift, however, here is a link to a couple of local Northeast Ohio riders doing almost that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIT-G_e3OSA

[blkwalnutgrwr]

Gnarly Onewheel icicle teeth!

[HanahsDax]

Love like winter. Happy Valentine’s Day.

[blkwalnutgrwr]

@HanahsDax -- Nicely executed Onewheel heart in snow!

[HorsePlay]

@HanahsDax , Great heart! Hubby and I talked about doing that in the sand over the weekend (our first visit to the beach with our OWs) ... but instead we settled on photos of happy, curvy lines (basic carving).

BTW, I also loved your snow spiral posted elsewhere. (Are we permitted to talk about external community sites ...??) Well done ... especially hiding your footprints required to take the shot.)

[HanahsDax]

@HorsePlay Thanks for the kind words. Hopefully we see some “Wheel Life” art from you guys in the near future. Even simple carve lines bring joy to most riders.

[blkwalnutgrwr]

Chasing my own snow trail.

[HanahsDax]

Monday mornings, never my fave but always better with the Onewheel.

Waterfalls of recent snowmelt.

I'm so over Winter at this point. Looking forward to Spring.
