It’s just great that unicycling is getting publicity like this and congratulations on winning the contest! However do you know why they are referring to street (mostly) unicycling as freestyle? There’s a big difference between grinding, rail riding, etc. and traditional freestyle skills like wheel walking and seat drag.
Congratulations on a great interview Alex! I thought they did a lot better than they could have with the editing, in linking what you said to the footage. Great footage too, can’t wait to see all of OWA.
I don’t understand how they destroyed the name of it, I bet you’ll have tons of people in Austrailia talking about this new ‘freestyle’ unicycling thing.
Good footage in the video segment. You did well in the interview, and got your points across without them misconstruing any information.
Excellent work on getting your ‘circus skills’ up to par to complete all the trick unicycling. You should have a lot of fun with the coverage and whatever else comes with the prize of the competition.
The voice over definately had things straight on giving those boys with their bittu jumping (sp?) a good talking to!
this is what the dude said to me in the interview when i asked him why he called it freestyle unicyclig.
he told me that in the extreme industry, the word extreme has lost its effect on anything… because you can get extreme ironing now… and extreme cooking etc. the gave it that name, because its a free style. no rules an sh*t to corrupt it etc.
its not the name i would have given it. but it is fairly hard to not use extreme, if you want to give it a blanket term
That’s good. Because our official version of unicycle freestyle has lots of rules and sh*t.
That was a great clip! No matter that a different meaning of Freestyle was used. If “extreme” is too tired a word, that’s fine. How about Badass Unicycling?
