    Informative video. I've only had my one wheel for 2 weeks. I'm familiar with all board sports so learning the XR has not been my concern. It's more accessories for board protection (mainly what companies to purchase from). Thanks for the review, it helped. Also, what company did you buy your Fangs from? Do you like them & reccomend them (quality wise)?

    Land-surf.com is the place to buy fangs. The design has improved dramatically recently. Never tried the new ones, but they look awesome. I like the fangs, especially when riding around the skatepark. If you ride mostly trails then they won't be very helpful, because the small wheels won't roll in the dirt very well. Sonny wheels sells a version with large inline skates (razor scooter 🛴) style wheels, but some don't like the appearance. It's all a bit subjective, but some like the larger wheels... But I have no experience with these. There's also a few new bumper replacements. Bangs bumpers, butter bumpers, and one or two others. Much more durable and self lubricating (will slide much better) than stock bumpers. The third party accessories market is just huge, awesome, and always growing. It's like choosing a flavor of ice cream now. Lol. Something else to look into that I'd recommend is fishbones. They are the ONLY concave product that attaches to your front foot-pad that have absolutely ZERO contact with your sensor. Lots of products out there that provide a front foot-pad concave solution, but I personally don't trust anything that lays on top of my sensor. Simply changing your grip tape and missing a bubble can lead to ghosting. Many other people have had zero problems and will recommend other concave solutions and that's fine. But if you don't feel confident and do it right you could have your board run away without you. Hazardous to you and others. Always test your board in a empty parking lot or something after messing with front foot-pad to be sure there are no ghosting problems. Watch a video on how to properly change grip tape when the time comes. Recently I saved up and got a economy eFoil and been riding that more to return to my roots of riding and surfing on Lake Powell. But I still Love the onewheel and still ride it and would never sell it. I call it my land foil now, because it's closest thing to foiling I think, or even like wake-surfing on land. But I'm definitely a bit behind on and less in tune with current onewheel accessories (again there's so much of it now 😆) Pretty content with my current setup for the past couple years though. Good luck. Happy floating and riding "the land eFoil" and be safe -"gear up for the slide and not the ride."

    @@Byromie I saw the fishbone. They look interesting; I might try them. I get my hi kush footpad tomorrow. I'm excited to try it out. Those eFoils look like fun! I'd love to try one out, see how they feel. Thanks for the advice/opinion!
