Awesome!! Rooting is the key to good balance!
Love those techniques! Your learning videos have improved my OneWheel stance and turns by leaps and bounds!
Comment for that algorithm! Haha
We don’t call you the professor for no reason! Yes, more core! Keep the lessons coming Jake, well worth every second. ps Bodhi makes everything look easy, dang it.
Yes, I'd like more balance vids! We are 66 year old OneWheelers, and we've each had a couple of falls, in spite of what we thought was good balance, strength and technique. However, this video shows me how much more balance we can gain, and the squat recommendation is one that I will take to heart. Good you!
Definitely slack line balance vids! I had my 3yo and 6yo doing these exercises along with you, it has been very entertaining.

I hope he never stops training his balance.
This video is a huge help, I really like the closed eye arms out. I can do it well on my right foot but need to practice more on my left foot
More vids along these lines please. Loved this one. I found it nice to watch something Onewheel related that never mentioned hardware
Great video Jake!! Yes more of this type of vids please.
Extremely helpful, thanks professor
Dope Jake!! Love the balance exercises man!! I actually do these squats when I brush my teeth each morning/night. I’m absolutely gonna do the other balance exercises…thanks for sharing Dude!
So much great information in this video! I couldn't believe how good I was at these techniques; I always thought I had below-average balance, but I knocked these out faster than the dive at 6:05 😂
Thanks for the tips! I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on nutrition, diets, fasting, etc. Keep up the good work!
Jake's so good!!
Love these videos always feel like I'm a better rider when I'm done watching you explain things and break them down in a very reasonable and understanding way I appreciate it keep up the good work and all those exercises are harder than they look
The Enduro disappearing at 1:45 is perfect. I couldn't stop staring at it salivating. Definitely going to do some of these to pass the time while waiting for it and the varials 🤙

Hey there Jake, awesome video as always thank you so much for your shared experience and tips. Have you ever considered to put all of these trainings and tips how to get better into a playlist? It would make searching for them a lot easier, also knowing I am on the topic. I am new to OW, got mine a week ago and so far your videos have been the most beneficial. Anyway keep up what you're doing, you're doing it great 👍🤙
New OW rider, getting ready while waiting in the queue - love these! I've been balancing on one foot, but up on the ball of my foot only (noticed that my ankles needed strengthening after riding a friend's OW). Would love to see core strengthening advice based on OW, as well as ankle-strengthening. Thanks for these, Jake!
Keep them coming Jake !! 👌🏻🤙🏻
love these! ty❗️
This was great Jake, thank you. I had a fall in early March which was balance related and I haven’t been able to get back on my OW due to the severity of the fall. I’m hoping my balance will improve and will add these exercises into my recovery work .. Thanks for being awesome and sharing such great content!

You’re welcome! I hope you heal up and can get back on the wheel soon
Helps tremendously
Thank you! Adding the squats to my daily routine.
Great video, and tips!
Cool beans 👍🏽 , thanks for sharing the tips on balance.
Good exercises. Gonna try em.
Great video man. I actually suffer from a lot of lower back issues and the core is the most important thing to keep me one wheeling. Physical therapy via Prof. LEARY for the win.
Your videos are great and informative
Love the balance and gibboard materials
Solid video!
need to start doing this, been getting more and more confident on my OW and im noticing my physicality is actually hindering on my ride. also riding OW has actually motivated me to lose weight lol i want to get the most out of my board and at 200+ im really on the edge of breaking this thing

Haha you’re not gonna break it but the acceleration and range is better the lighter the rider
Awesome content!
Will definetly try those exercises and also show my gf who is learning to ride on my XR ;O
Great tips for young or old.
Lol I don’t one wheel but I have terrible balance!! Definitely gonna try out these exercises!!
2:45 it makes me laugh that your friend is so perfectly balancing and doesn't even practice it haha 😆
I'd like to learn how to fall safely.
Amazing how tricky balance is with eyes closed. Good points. Now if I can get my feet to not fatigue when I ride just a few miles....... my brother said when his feet start to get tired he knows his stance is off. I've tried switching up my stance but haven't found a sweet spot so I can ride out a fully charged battery. He rides 30 miles with no issue.

Relaxing the toes should help as well as carving more than riding in a straight line

Bro you got Lyme disease and are still ok?!?! I watched a video on that shit the other day shits crazy how doctors can’t agree on how to treat it. Glad your ok now man

Yeah the testing is not conclusive. The treatment was pretty straightforward tho for me, antibiotics until my knee wasn’t swollen anymore. But yeah we’ll never know if maybe I had some other rare disease that tested positive for Lyme and also was treated by antiobiotics.

@@JakeLeary AAah yeah thats cool. Its similar to cancer to where its easy to treat in one location but if it spreads its exponentially more difficult to get rid of. I live in the boonies so I'm always scared of ticks giving me that shit. Tick check after every trail rip lmao.
Good stuff Jake! Have you tried a slackline to train balance? Perfect tool for focus, balance & strength. 🤙

Great video Jake! Any recommendations for managing the wobble. Ive been trying your foot placement and shoulder alignment recommendations - but still getting wobble - even though it is less than when I started.

do you have any advice for someone with flat feet practicing these exercises?
lmao! i hit the bell...
Something I found interesting when starting Onewheel (on a pint) was my the muscle memory takeover I got initially. I use a static balance board that sits on a hard, rubber, softball sized ball - initially on the Pint, I was massively over correcting heel to toe, but once that settled down I was ok. But… ..returning to the static board the next day, it was like my muscle memory had been overwritten with Onewheel twitches - it took me a while to get back to normal on there while keeping the Onewheel going. Anyone ever get that - moving from one thing to another (e.g. different boards or balance trainers) temporarily screws with something you could already do?
@JakeLeary

Yeah absolutely. Your brain should be able to snap back into balance board mode with a little practice, and then once it does you should be able to switch back and forth pretty easily as long as you don’t go too long without doing one or the other

Bodhi is an accomplished skateboarder, that's why his balance is so good. Jake, do you skateboard?
