This is my favorite “Geezer” vid so far! In part due to some nice people who provide some fun little bits here & there. I think there’s one part you’ll find really hilarious!
Also a new personal best for me by landing my first 6-Set!
I gotta tell ya, I HATE heights so this was pretty scary for me, and took me a while just to talk myself into going for it! Yeah, I know that I didn’t launch up really high (because the way I saw things, I was already high enough off the ground as it was!) so I launched up a few inches, and out almost 7 feet, to clear all 6 stairs! To me that’s what counts; Clearing them! Yeah baby, yeah! (I may just try a “lucky 7” set since I cleared the 6-er by a pretty good margin!)
What’s also cool is that I actually got a guy to run behind me and videotape me, while I bombed some cool Muni singletrack! (You can hear him running!:p)
I wanted to edit some more, but movie maker kept FREEZING almost every time I made a single new edit! Very frustrating! So I hope you all enjoy this video and I look forward to reading your comments! Thanks!
**PS: The few subtitles are mostly for the benefit of my non-unicycling friends and relatives.
**PS #2: The old gentleman (Michaelangelo) who introduces the video is only 10 years older than me!
I don’t belive in luck and from the conlcusion of a extreamly scientific disscussion between my friends and I over a game of pool we have decided unconditonally that luck does not have anything to do with it and it is undoubtadbly, a blessed 7.
Just thought I’d straigten that out.
P.S. I love the kid in the beginning…old fart productions hahahah…hahahahahhahahah
Yeah I need to really get into better editing software, but I’ve been so spoiled 'cause MM is so easy. But yesterday was the breaking point! It got to the point where as soon as I opened the program it would just shut down! I know it’s not my laptop 'cause everthing else runs perfect, and it’s virus free. Iwent to so message boards and turns out it’s a common problem with no definitive fix. The more “clips”, transitions, and effects you use, the more problems occur.
That’s possible but I have work 'till about 1pm, so a later start like maybe 3pm would be good. Only thing is I’m getting bored with Lynx/rockit, etc. There is another trail there called “5-oaks” which is a killer DH that spills into the canyon and then there’s some other cool trails down there, so maybe those, but I’m burnt on the usual stuff there.
One word AWSOME that is a great vid , I just wish I was that good. I better get to practice when the weather warms up a bit. I watched all the vids, but this one is the best great job.
He was “home schooling” for a while, then re-registered for school, so i guess he’s had to play 'catch up" and stuff. He also doesn’t really ride MUni anymore, as he seemingly lost interest.
When I asked him recently if he still rides at all, he said he hasn’t had much free time. Yeah I hope he gets back into it because he was doing so well and learning very fast!
