That rim is wider than other 20" rims on the market, that may also be a reason it looks like a very wide rim.

no. Because 20" rim just looks like 19" rims to me.

Today it was really sunny so I drove to my school, rode for like 7 minutes, and then it started POURING!

In those 7 minutes, however, I was consistently landing latebacks down a 5 set. I'm totally ready for 6+ now! I'm psyched.

pedrotejada · 2008-04-29, 03:06 AM

Today I landed more one 540 unispin! But they are very sketchy... Next week i will work hard on then...

I started to train 360 unispins down a 2 set... I landed it one time in the end of the day...

I tried to land some backflips... I'm close to them... i'm more confident than never now...

Today was a good day

... I feel that i'm close to some important tricks for my lines now!

Today I learned how to freemount, hop up curbs, down curbs, and a group of about 5-6 kids were following me on their bikes then when they left I heard them talking about wanting unicycles.

SkierAlex · 2008-04-30, 01:28 AM

Today I did a gap of 1.4m, rolling. And 1m with a side hop.

And I'm kinda getting closer to crankflips, I'm still not committing to landing on the pedals, although I sometimes get my back foot on the pedal.

And I landed on the both pedals 3 times last night doing 360 unispins. Each time I fell backwards. So basically I can do it, I just gotta stay on when I land it.

Today i learned i need to send my cranks back to udc, for the second time, or just send them an email. I might just get a diff wheel set.

peleschramm · 2008-04-30, 02:11 AM

Today I finally landed OUTFIFTHFLIPS!!!!!!!!! I landed 2. Hopless and clean

. I'm overjoyed I've been wanting to get those for so long!

pedrotejada · 2008-04-30, 03:12 AM

Today rained a lot here... i could not ride...

Tomorrow i will work on 540's and backflips... I'm improving fast but in this part of the year rains a lot here, so i can't ride everyday.

NICE!

Are you the only one in the world who can do them? You might be. Also are the only one to out 720 unispin? How do you do spins from seat in so easily? I can barely spin the seat at all from seat in.

As far as I know, I am the 3rd. I heard Matty Porter can do them, And I've seen a video of Thibault De Man (some random french guy nobody has heard of) do them. I'm quite positive that I am the first to out7spin. Spinning the seat from seat in takes a lot of practice. From the start, I always thought it looked extra cool doing things from seat in, so that is the way I practiced. If you can do a 180 outspin and want to go further, I would try holding the side of the seat just behind the handle at the start. If you can't, then just learn the 180 outspin first

It looks like spinning from seat in is about the hand movement to me. I can't 180 outspin. I've only tried a few times and it seems like I don't have the strength with one hand or the technique. It's pretty impressive though, looks way cooler than starting from seat out.

Today I got sponsored by 661

and hopped a MASSIVE 5 stair.

Brian O. · 2008-05-01, 12:45 AM

Today I found an awesome area for trials out in the woods by my house. I also snapped the handle clean off my muni doing a decent sized drop. I didn't land with much weight on the handle and it hasn't gotten much use yet so I'm not quite sure whats up with that but luckily I've got a spare.
