New street & freestyle movie - Street As

TonyMelton · 2005-09-28, 10:06 PM

I've just completed a 7 minute movie, compiled from months and months of footage. There's some pretty cool stuff on it. Features yours truly, Munimanpete (Peter Van Boekhout), Luke Wardle, Peter Bier and a cameo appearance by Rowan. Definitely worth downloading.

That was great! I really liked the crank-walk moves, and seat on side, one-footed.

Thanks! Crank-walks / crank rolls are fun!
I haven't seen anyone else do that 'one footed seat on side'-like trick and don't really even know what its called (if it has a name). When I showed it to Peter Bier he said it looked like side saddle. It could be a variation on side saddle, except that I'm off the saddle entirely; whereas in proper side saddle I think you sit partially on the saddle.

that was just beastly. Sorda made me want to try freestyle, but then i saw those bloopers, eek. the freestyle ones looked the worst, you couldn't like get out of the way of the uni

That's Luke Wardle. He's also really good on a mountain bike, snowboard and wakeboard!

Chase - which uni do you mean? I ride three different ones in the movie. A red freestyle 20", a black trials 20" and a Monster 20" uni. There are photos of the red and black unicycles in this gallery

It would have been nice to have a longer crash /bail / blooper section at the end, but I usually delete these from my camera straight away so I had very few to choose from. Memory is always limited when you're shooting video on a still camera.

Holy crap!

There were like 10 new tricks in that video!
Those were awsome freestyle tricks and the street riding was comparable to Dan Heaton in U2.

It's nice to see that someone out there does crank grabs with the back foot and is extremely good at doing all the things that front-footed people do.

It's definitely seat on side, one-footed, as it appears on the standard skills list. I've seen it in a few performance videos, and I saw Jesse Berg do it at a unicycle meet I went in April. I need to try to learn it sometime. I can't imagine it's any harder than side ride.

I was just about to PM you about that, jsm. :-P.

Great video, btw. I want to try some new stuff with crank/pedal grabs now ;-).
