Hey all, just wanted to tell you that I just finished my first trials video worth showing to you all. I’ve done a couple before, but I was horrible when I made them. They were alright to show to friends and stuff, but I think you guys would have found them boring.
It’s not Defect, but hey, a movie is a movie. I hope you guys like it.
The site where our team puts its various videos is www.bradsplace.org. You can find the rest of our videos there, though the previous unicycling ones aren’t great. We do other stuff too, like skiing/boarding, trampolining, dirtjumping and other random things. If you have problems with loading of videos in firefox, we also have a firefox link on our main page.
I just watched your video… saw the Stroud skatepark… was thinking wtf there’s another rider in town?.. then it clicked.
Anyway, awesome video. Thursday we should do some trials somewhere… you pick the spot, I havn’t found anywhere I really like yet. I’m done with classes at 1…
Hello,
Your movie was fun to watch. Your riding and hopping well. I ride in Northern New Jersey but PA is not that far so if you want to get added to our email list for Muni rides let me know. You can contact me at brian at computertradeexchange.com
We may even be able to schedule a ride in your area as long as you know the trails well and you have some good downhill sections. Our trails are loaded with natural trials and we take lots of time to hop and roll sections of rocks and logs. Based on what I see in your movie you would fit in very well with our style of riding.
Brian
Thanks for your positive comments everyone, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
MercyMe - Some weekend I’ll get back down there, I’ve been busy with school too. That ride was awesome though.
SpudMan - Yeah the rim might be a tiny bit thin for the low pressure I ride, but it’s not too bad. I could always put a little more air in if need be :).
fcwegnm0b - Either Thursday or Friday sounds good. You’ve basically just seen all the places I ride around here in the video. I have always been interested in riding at ESU, so I’d be up for that too.
Evan Byrne - Haha, yeah I’ve been working on that in the past week. I just learned how to ride seat out in front, and my SIF hopping is starting to get to about the same height as my seat in hopping, though I feel much less stable. I’ll keep working on it.
Totally Hooked - The funny thing with the 24" Onza is the fact that it slowly improves over time. Mine suffered from the same defects you mentioned when I first got it. It had problems hopping up a pallet or two, but with age it slowly improved. I’d keep it and let it age a bit, haha.
UNIquelyCanadian - Lets see, I probably started it about a week and a half ago, and had it roughly put together in two days. I had some issues with some really bad filmers at the skate park so I had to reshoot some shots, which took a while, and then I tweaked it for another two days. So about 4 days. Nice photography by the way.
brianmaw - Sweet. Email sent. Thanks.
redhead - Uhh, its an Onza KH style seat and it’s unmodified :D.
Sorry about that, I ended up being responsible for picking my sister up from marching band at 5:00, so that sorta ruined any chances of riding. I’m good to go tomorrow though, if thats cool with you. I’ll send hopefully get a hold of you on AIM.
I just tink you got that little bit of street in you tho… with those 360’s and stuff:p
