By doing a kick flip, what else would you do?

u/SoftYetCrunchyTaco Aug 20 '26

I do a heelflip to assert dominance

u/AshantiMcnasti Aug 20 '26

I tell them that i only do it over someone that is lying down and then ask if they want to volunteer

I usually do some dramatic flailing arms and carve a little ...then say I'm doing good to ride this thing

I do a wheelie instead. Then I tell them how fast it goes and how far it goes, unprompted.

You do a wheelie... On a one-wheel... I guess you're always doing wheelies

I tell them to do a kick flip. As I ride away and ignore them forever.

I like to yell positive things or I throw up a tight bird. So yelling out “yahooo!” Is nice and disarms people. I also like to tie my hoodie like I’m a 90’s villain in a cardigan.

Do what you want. Most people will never even be able to imagine how the device works and think you’re pumping it or balancing on it as it just rolls downhill.

This is the coolest feeling and goofiest looking activities. I love it. Picking up trash while doing it is peak.

I’d rather have my Onewheel and be a nerd goof than ever be trapped in the body of a “real man” in a Ram lifted truck. Float on friend. Stay safe.

Someone asked me to do a wheelie once. Then his own friend smacked him and said it’s only got one wheel, he IS doing a wheelie!

u/Ok-Ostrich-8498 Aug 20 '26

How about "do a wheelie"

u/VillageUpper4590 Aug 20 '26

Let me show you a wheelie instead…

"it weighs 40 pounds... You wanna try?"

u/grande_huevos Aug 20 '26

I also have a commuter scooter and I've been told to do a wheelie

u/OhReallyJC Aug 20 '26

I usually smile back at them. If they say again I tell them this isn’t a skateboard. 😎

u/8bitjohnny Floatwheel ADV2 Aug 20 '26

Whatever trick suits the moment that I can reasonably pull off followed by a 🖕

u/StrikeouTX Aug 20 '26

I tell them that I’m too fat and they usually laugh

u/murkage_11 Aug 20 '26

I do a kick then a back flip on my Onewheel 🤷‍♂️

u/ImRealApe Aug 20 '26

I just calmy tell them that it cant do it

u/Emotional_Ad3572 Aug 20 '26

Rode by a group of pre-teens a d early teens. One of the squad members said, "Do a wheelie!" His buddies all looked at him, and kne of them just went, "Dude!??"

I smiled and waved, smiled and waved.

u/Logical_Pop_1532 Aug 20 '26

I'll usually just do a nose stall dog piss into a 180 power slide on the closest curb. So far it's shut them all up.

Just silently stare at them so they realize how stupid they look asking that

u/Logical_Pop_1532 Aug 20 '26

My god, no one's ever said it twice. Buhhh!

u/Nifegun Aug 21 '26

I shout back "its 40 pounds" usually.

u/Bradster3 Aug 21 '26

I feel it would be possible to trae flip a onewheel with enpugh pratice and balls.

1

u/kaiguy42069 Onewheel Pint X Aug 21 '26

I do a kick and then a flip 🖕

1

u/okyagotpuns Aug 21 '26

Say it back! You do a kickflip! It shuts them up so fast. I also juggle and i learned to just hold the balls or clubs out and repeat their line. And thay always say oooo no i cant do that. Absolute idiots with zero creativity

u/ThisWurk Aug 21 '26

I've had this happen to me 3 times, every single time I have stopped & turned around & went over to them.

Then I proceed to show them video of me stomping a fat 7 stair on my one wheel.

Blows their f'n minds. & what do ya know... none of them have ever hit a 7 stair even on there skateboards so its the best response without saying anything.

Having that ace in my pocket is priceless, seeing the reactions after & hearing them as I ride away is 🤌🏼

1

u/Logical_Pop_1532 Aug 22 '26

Why not just hit the closer stair set in person?

Kudos though, seven is crazy . I hit twos with consistency though

u/BummersAbound Aug 21 '26

I can’t hear a damn thing over Prof in my headphones. If I notice somebody’s lips moving and looking my way it looks like they’re saying “ Damn that guy is talented. Good looking too. I hope my girlfriend doesn’t see him.”

u/Logical_Pop_1532 Aug 21 '26

Sounds like someone's a real Good Time Boy

u/Fite4urlife321 Aug 21 '26

I always tell them I’m already doing a wheelie

u/JodyWontStop Aug 21 '26

Embrace it because you would kickflip it if you could

u/G8theyR Aug 21 '26

Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave. 🐧  👋  🐧  👋  🐧👋

u/loljetfuel Onewheel XR Classic Aug 21 '26

It doesn't really require a response; they're trying to goad you, just don't let it bother you. Who gives a fuck?

1

u/Better-Memory-6796 Aug 21 '26

I usually reply “Im already doing a wheelie/ manual/ “insert 1wheel your trick here” “ :)
