"Every boardsport started with humble beginnings," says Chief Onewheel Evangelist, Jack Mudd. "We're in the early days, but someday folks will look back on this project as a pivotal moment and a quantum leap forward for Onewheel as a boardsport."
A grassroots movement of highly skilled riders has pushed Onewheel far past 'last-mile EV' into the realm of a new legitimate boardsport. Cinematographer and Onewheel rider, Aaron Hooper, dreamed of combining signature flowy Onewheel trail riding with the emerging 'street' riding scene to create something unprecedented. Aaron teamed up with Onewheel to build a quarter-mile dream trail, complete with a handful of massive features on a secret location in Northern California. Three of the best riders in the world, Kyle Hanson, Bodhi Harrison, and Brenden Shurmeier, came out for a week-long session which collectively pushed the limits of what has been done on a Onewheel.
Commenting on the video, Director Aaron Hooper said, "The goal was to combine the flow of trail riding with the difficulty of the streets. We wanted to build something that would push the sport forward, shape perceptions, and make viewers think, 'Holy S***!"
