Not much of a kerb....
Let's see your advanced approach on a taller one. Many of the kerbs around here are from the 1920s, and can be about a foot tall. For those, I usually do the 1-step dismount.

Good idea!
I also filmed the one-footed version today on the same 3.5 inch curb. Just need to do the editing (takes longer than the filming!).
I'll repeat the filming (sans adv. kerb mount) at another location as soon as I can. 5-6" curb should be fine. 1 foot is bigger than I have ever done. I'd probably PA that. On an x machine, no problem. On my "classic" e, no way! Feel free to send in your Video.

Here's a quickie of a 6 inch kerb. Can't find a bigger kerb when you need one!

So, the Advanced approach is to use slow motion? I can't find that setting on my PT...

Nope. There is no slow motion mode on your PT. Don't waste any time looking for it . The manoeuvre should be performed slowly though. Slow-mo was used in the video so the user can see the tyres never lose contact with the kerb.

I was quite startled the first time it happened! I can avoid that by having a bit of forward motion so my tires (and battery) clear the curb. |

So if I fly over the curb with great speed, is that the "super advanced" approach?
