Got my new Summit 20 the other day.
On the very first session (with some simple advice from a kid) I was able to ride Seat on Stomach / Seat out Front for the first time in my life. (wobbly, but still in the W column). This is the only thing keeping me from level 3.
Also hopped all the way up flight of 7 stairs on second attempt.
Great workout. After last night’s 30 minutes of boinging around in front of my house, I could feel the Abs. Sweating like a spinkler.
Great Fun.
Re: 20" Trials, Weeeeeee!
I couldn’t pass that typo up: were you sweating like a SPRINKLER or SPHINCTER
BTW, congrads on your new uni!!!
Tee Hee. Therapist would love to wrap around that one.
BTW: Sphincter still pretty tight since attack by 5’ Giraffe in June.
Re: 20" Trials, Weeeeeee!
Sounds like you are really going to enjoy your new Summit 20". Congrats on hopping up the 7 steps. That is incredible, at least to me!!! --chirokid–
Re: 20" Trials, Weeeeeee!
Congrats!
Did you buy one of the “on sale” Summits? On my new Summit, it’s taken me two days of effort just to get where I can hop up three steps and ride out of it.
I’m thinking maybe it’s a defective unit, and I need to send it back to John Drummond. I noticed that UniBrier’s Summit also goes up stairs much better than mine does.
Re: Re: 20" Trials, Weeeeeee!
Thanks for the heads-up Tom. I will make sure and specify a “stairs” model when I order my next unicycle from John!
Re: 20" Trials, Weeeeeee!
This could be misconstued. Understand that I hopped up 7 stairs one-at-a-time, not all 7 in one magnificient leap.
Yes, I got the on-sale Summit. But you must ask for the “Weeeeee” upgrade. They install it free in Georgia.
I will not buy one, I will not buy one, i will not buy one… yea keep saying that you may soon believe it. Hmmm were can I hide that for a while so my wife doesn’t see it? I am going to have to get a lot better before I can justify another uni purchase. Wait a minute, I need some 140 cranks fo my KH24, hmm wouldn’t it be smarter to buy the Summit for the small difference in price, and get a Kick Butt trials Uni at a great price. Get the behind me devil.
If you’re going to get cranks anyway, it only makes sense to buy the Summit NOW and split the shipping charge between the two. You’re actually SAVING yourself $$.
Re: 20" Trials, Weeeeeee!
So a Trials unicycle makes it much easier to hop around and up steps? I have me a probable freestyle and it sucks for it.
I need a new unicycle, maybe I should look into the Summit:D
