Extreme unicycling posters

[redwelly]

Most mainstream extreme sports have a wide variety of phtographic posters available for them, so it's easy to get posters of surfing, skateboarding, skydiving etc, but I can't find any of extreme unicycling. Do such things exist? If not (which seems highly likely), when will this ever be rectified? I think it would be quite cool to have a decent poster of these low angle photos that some people can take, with a flying unicyclist against the blue sky, maybe with a flurry of dirt from the ledge they've just launched from.

Considering how much popularity unicycling seems to have gained in the last 5 years (from my retrospective), it's interesting to wonder what it'll be like in another 5 years from now...

Ooh, that Kris Holm one is kind of what I had in mind. I didn't know about it as it's only in the UDC on the wrong side of the pond from me. Ah well...

I like that one, always did. The steepness of the slope emphasised by the
way even the trees cannot stand up straight.

It's Kris Holm's photo gallery on some website. He has some awesome stuff for posters.

Thanks Joe. I was thinking of doing that to see what it would look like, but didn't get around to it. It suddenly goes from 'insane' to 'pretty hard, but now I can imagine doing it'. Nice work on removing the advertising - done to avoid confusing the viewer's brain into recompensating for the angle of writing, right?

[joe]

yeah, Sam

I removed the ads, coz when i looked at it, i was stilll seeing wonky trees!

I use paint shop pro, and used the dulicate bruch, but it sort of just looks like a load of lines... oh well...

and i forgot to take the white frame from around the second one! Ooops.

Never mind.

Cool pic though!

Joe,

the trees aren't standing up straight not because the picture is tilted, but because the slope is so steep that in order to be rooted in the ground, the trees naturally want to be perpindicular to the ground...

I thought trees only go straight up. They sort of grow directly away from the center of the earth. This they do because of gravity. Of course there are some trees that are bent somehow, but mainly the trees grow straight up, not necessarily perpendicular to the ground. A tree cannot know how inclined the ground is.
