Protecting the Onewheel Pint // Rail Guards vs Sidekicks and a Giveaway!!

**head to the end of the video to see how to be a part of the giveaway**!! Good Luck :)
Today I’m going to compare a couple different products that are out there to keep your onewheel pint protected. The first one is the rail guards from onewheel and the second is the sidekicks from the float life. Im also going to show you guys how we installed each and any issues that we ran into. We are got to install the solo plate from the float life guys and got to try out that new front handle on the onewheel pint! I cant believe I actually missed that from my plus...
Gear I use to edit these vids: vanboardbike.com/gear/
Cool rail guards from eigh2ten eight2ten.com/collections/one...
Float life sidekicks: float-supply.com/product/floa...
Onewheel rail guards: onewheel.com/collections/pint...
Big thanks to my wife for helping make this video!

    I just got a pint with rail guards. They now ship flat like the sidekicks, but with a level center join, and they still have the wrap around on the bottom. So it looks like they've learned in the past year!

    Just a tip and an update from someone who just ordered a pint... the guards do come in colors now, but I got clear. I've used clear guards like that before on other things like my bmx bike, and if you get that ugly lift or bubbles, you can warm it up with a blow dryer and push it down with a makeshift brayer. Get a smooth water bottle like a smartwater bottle, and make sure it's full. You only want a small bit of flex or give. Warm up the "sticker" and roll the bottle along it as hard as you can. Work your way up in heat, because you want to soften the adhesive just enough to stick down well, but not so much that the piece slides or causes more bubbles or anything like that. Hope this helps anyone reading this. I can't wait for my Pint to come! Edit: If you have access to a 3D printer, you might be able to remove the screws near the carry handle on the float plate, print a more comfortable handle that sticks out a bit more and slide it between the plate and the Pint, and then stick it back down.. does that make sense? Kinda like a small C shaped grip with one end a bit longer and flat to tuck under the Float Plate to hold it in place. Kinda like C_ that. It would be more like grabbing onto a piece of thin PVC pipe, rather than a flat ledge. That's probably challenging unless you climb and are used to credit card holds... lmao If you're interested in the idea but don't understand, lemme know and I'll draw something up real fast and send a crappy doodle your way. I'm sure it would be a super easy model, fast print, and 2min install. Definitely worth doing, and if I get the float plate, I'll probably make one for myself... my fingers aren't that strong and I much prefer vert carry. Edit, again... lol : Here is the crappy drawing. ibb.co/Z2LvhK4

    So I already installed the FM rail guards that do wrap under. I have been wanting to purchase the one piece float plate from FL. I am getting mixed reviews on whether or not this would work. Many say it will lay over and the amount that it is not flush isnt really noticed. Did you try it at all to see if its workable? Much thanks!

    @@JohnDDyer No worries. I was down in your area recently. My daughter goes to college in Greenville and we dropped her off a few weeks ago. Took my first real spill on my Pint while I was there. Ironically, it wasn't on one of the serious hills y'all have down there. It was in a Starbuck's parking lot while I was trying to avoid a FedEx truck and find the exit. Greenville takes it's speed bumps seriously and I took one that I didn't see coming. It laid me out over a curb and tossed my Trenta Iced Peach Green Tea that I bought with free points. :/ Thankfully, all I ended up with was a bruised hip and some road rash (and an embarrassing story). Glad I was wearing a helmet because it took a bounce off the nearby curb. Wear your safety gear kids! Keep up the great videos!
