It just dawned on me, as it does every so often when I remember that it exists, that I've had the same scab on my knee for at least 3 years. I got it when the motors of the Onewheel I was riding, evidently at top speed, abruptly cut out and the Onewheel stopped, and I kept going... then slid several feet... on gravel.
I can't say the experience made me want a Onewheel any less (thankfully not a purchase I can justify, unless old used XRs are cheap now). It did however convince me not to pour isopropyl alcohol into a large deep hole in my knee ever again.
Anyway I should probably stop picking my scabs, lol. Also Onewheels are fucking great. I highly recommend the experience.

(...assuming you've either skate or snowboarded and you know how to fall with style (e.g. don't try to break your fall by breaking your wrist(s) instead))
