Personal Experience

First impression of the GT Kush Wide was that concave felt really good and it’s really nice to have that extra space underneath the foot. After a few weeks of riding, I noticed that the extra realty was nice for bonks, body varials, shuvits - or any trick really. The soft urethane also really helped with foot fatigue on the longer cruises and the heel pains on big drops due to the stock footpad's sharp edges.

A neat feature is that the footpad comes in two colors: black and clear. I chose clear with the intention of dying it a different color. I purchased Rit Dyemore from a local craft shop (Michaels, Joanne Fabrics, Hobby Lobby, etc will have them) followed the instructions, and dyed the footpad a teal color (see pictures below). The footpad took to the dye very well and it was super easy. I think the final product looks great and it was surprisingly fun to do. If the dying process is too intimidating or inaccessible to you, not only a day later after my dye project, The Float Life released their Retro 64 Combo, which comes in several colors: Red, Orange Teal, and Purple.

While the Kush Wide is great for cruising and tricks, I purchased it with the hopes of alleviating the GT’s inherent “squirellyness”. Unfortunately, really tight turns on trails still felt a bit sketchy, but this might be due to the GT’s higher design compounded with the hard stock tire. I presume this problem could be fixed with the Half & Half Axel Block Lowering Kit and a GT Enduro Tire.

Who is the GT Kush Wide for?

This is for the rider who is searching for a more comfortable ride, someone with bigger feet, tricksters who can benefit from the added space for landings, and anyone who finds themselves with constant foot fatigue.

Suh dudes! Onewheeler from Chicago. The only thing I like more than Onewheels is geeking out about Onewheels. Love me some trails, streets, and parks! Also into filming/editing, disc golf, and playing bass guitar. Hope to see you out there! Yeww!
