OneWheel Pint Unboxing and first ride!

I've posted rides on the OneWheel Pint but realized that I never posted my initial unboxing video. So here it is!

Initial ride reaction was that I need to get better FAST. It is super wobbly as you'll notice at the end of my ride when I get on the driveway. I had, what felt like, very little control. This is more due to my inexperience than the OneWheel itself, though they describe it as "nimble" and I think this is what they're talking about.

A week later and I'm feeling way more stable on it, but having never ridden a OneWheel+ or XR I think I just had a steeper learning curve in the beginning.

Is the OneWheel Pint worth buying? I dunno, your call. I love it though, but I was sold on it long before it came in the mail. I knew I was going to use it to commute to work with since I live two miles from my office.

It was HARD to get used to. I was a skater for years as a kid. Nothing fancy, just rode my board all over town and to classes later in college. It's been 15 years since I last had a skateboard but this still is is NOT the same experience. 
Leaning backward at high speeds feels super unnerving, but you get used to it.

Stick with it. It's like the best part of snowboarding. No riding the tow-ropes or chair lifts, or getting in line and waiting...it's all the downhill/slalom. The good stuff.
