Pictures of your latest ride continued

Downhill day!

6200 vertical downhill meters on all different technical singletrails. Uphill mostly by cablecars, transfers from on to the other on gravel roads.

I had sore muscles like I hadn’t had in a long time…

Awesome scenery, skill and stamina! That’s a great length of selfie stick for getting big ‘distant’ shots without too much distortion - what’s the length and the camera, and are the photos stills from video?

@Maxence Today I discovered I was at Unicon! :laughing:

P.S. I also unicycled over 100km on the trip this was taken from and I am pretty pleased with myself about that. :laughing:

On the back of that I cycled another 42km (Marathon distance) today, to do a little sightseeing around Oslo.

I have taken this style of image before but still fun. It is a view from up on Grefsenkollen that looks out over Oslo. They have a frame at the top there for you to pose behind and I always just place my unicycle there and take that instead:

This is up by the Holmenkollen ski jump (as can be seen in the background)

The Monolith statue in Vigelandsparken

A view from the top of the Oslo opera house looking out over the fjord

At the end I stopped for a donut and a cool drink

P.S. My strava entry for the ride.

What tire is that?

Felt Berm Master (24″x3″). IIRC I bought it here: Stollenreifen Berm Master 24 x 3.0 reinschwarz | 71947

EDIT: I do not do a lot of Muni but sometimes I might do some. I do ride a lot of wider trails and a surprising amount of time on paved surfaces, despite the small wheel size. This works out as a good compromise/all-rounder. It has “OK” grip and yet remains pretty fast rolling. No annoying self steer or camber problems on any surfaces. If you have a 24, I would recommend it. I prefer it to the Duro Wildlife. It rolls better and is lighter (not that I would call it light either but it is lighter than that :wink:)

There are actually a few old threads and mentions of this tyre on this forum. Here is one:

Thank you. I have a wildlife, and I’d like an easier rolling tire when this one kicks the bucket.

Muni at Rogate downhill bikepark today. Slid out quite a bit as super dry and loose and there’s alot of fairly steep tech. Also the heat meant the push up was so exhausting. Had a really fun day, but think i might stick to visiting this place when slightly cooler and not so dry
