Is your Onewheel gathering dust in a corner because your interest has waned? Perhaps you’ve contemplated selling it due to infrequent use. In this article, I explore the reasons people abandon their Onewheels and offer solutions for enhancing your experience.
Failures often result from insufficient commitment or overlooking Onewheel limitations. Injuries can occur when riders ignore their skill limits. A primary reason for quitting is the absence of a supportive community.
The term “stoked” aptly describes Onewheel enthusiasts’ excitement, akin to stoking a fire. Initially, it kindles a childlike sense of adventure. Yet, the longing for companionship can dampen enthusiasm when no fellow riders are around.
Desire to connect with like-minded individuals drives us. However, finding Onewheel enthusiasts is challenging, given the sport’s novelty.
To rekindle your Onewheel passion, consider joining a community:
- Internet Communities: Use platforms like Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, and YouTube to connect with fellow Onewheelers.
- Facebook: Join active Onewheel groups, including local ones.
- Reddit: Explore the Onewheel-specific forum.
- Instagram: Follow enthusiasts to gain inspiration.
- YouTube: Watch Onewheel-related content.
- Official Onewheel Forum: Note that this forum might not be as active.
Benefits of community involvement:
- Motivation: When your enthusiasm wanes, community posts can rekindle your passion.
- Support: Fellow riders understand the culture and can provide support, whether for rides or new endeavors.
- Collective Experience: Access the wisdom of the community. Search for answers before posting questions.
- Pushing Limits: Group rides encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, expanding your skills and horizons.
- New Ideas: Collaborating with like-minded individuals sparks creativity and innovation.
Joining a supportive community can be essential for long-term success. It fulfills the human desire to belong to something larger than oneself. If you’re feeling disconnected from your Onewheel or other aspects of life, consider engaging with a healthy community for inspiration and support.
