Do it, it's a blast! - Had a great experience on the OneWheels! SETUP: Drew (who owns the business) was very easy to coordinate with, and fast to respond over sms. LEARNING: We met him in a quiet and car-free area to learn the basics. Our group (me and 2 coworkers) each came with different pre-existing levels of "sportyness" and none of us had ever used a segway/hoverboard/onewheel before. All of us were able to get down the basics of the OneWheel pretty quickly. Drew spent time 1:1 making sure we were all comfortable using the boards before moving on. He also set out some ramps and obstacles for the more uh.. adventurous folks :P SAFETY: Safety equipment (mandatory: helmets, wrist guards; optional: knee pads, etc) was provided. Drew also had "granny carts" as an aid to hold onto when getting started. He spent time teaching how to safely get off the OneWheel and avoid slipping/falling off. VENICE & SANTA MONICA TOUR: Within the hour we left the training grounds and were "floating" down the bike path from Santa Monica down to Marina Del Rey, and back. It was a great way to see the scenery and be outdoors, but not break a huge sweat. We made a few stops (but note: don't expect a detailed narrated tour of all the waypoints, history, etc) -- it is mostly about the enjoyment of carving and cruising along the beach! It was a 2-3hr well spent and I'd definitely do it again! Drew was informative, passionate, and also extremely patient as an instructor. A+
