You read it right, it’s a call out for videos of those riding a saddle made out of a live mammal. My video is ready but it’s too painful for me to watch right now. I made my trials saddle out of a live cat and made the unfortunate mistake of attaching it legs side up. My thighs are pretty badly raked so it will take me a while to work up the courage to upload this unicycling gem. The cat didn’t fair too well either. I think a cat is only good for one ride based on my personal experience. That’s OK, there’s an abundance of cats.
I prefer badgers. To truly appreciate the hunt and saddle manufacturing process I need a challenge that cats cannot provide.
Cat’s make better Coker air saddles than trials saddles. You just gotta inflate the cat first.
I agree with John, and Squirrels are best for trials or street…they’re smaller and so easier to do SIF tricks with.
You’re a pretty little girl, Greg. Watch those thighs, you may need them someday.
I highly recomend the alligator
Easily the best live animal saddle you can find IMHO. The durability is excellent, and as long as you remember to close the front handle before you grab it, finger longevity is excellent as well.
Many complain about the weight, and the misconception that this may result in the uni sinking from sight if you should slip off a log while crossing a stream. This is wholly due to rider inexperience with alligator saddles. In fact, one has only to step back and take a short break. Usually by the time I have had a few sips, the uni will resurface, swim to shore and climb up onto the bank all by itself, a real convenient feature that is worth a few extra grams
You have to be a total idiot. Everyone knows that alligators are fish, not mammals. This specifically asks for saddles made from live mammals. However, your response is still the best and I’m being too picky by keeping the field so narrow. I will later post a poll to determine if alligators and other fish like whales will be allowed.
Lolz.
Personaly, I’m with Raphael. Have to say cats.
But whatever floats your boat…
I use kangaroo for my trials saddle now but unfortunately my camera is broken. It has increased my hop height by a great deal.
I bet the kangaroo saddle helps get higher hops.
That and its got the fusion cover to add more roo.
Should you sit on a cat, mind the scat.
meao!
Greg-
Pointy side down.
The alligator is not a fish
It is a dinosaur. There was a lot of confusion as a result of the Jews flooding the market with cheap imported animals 5000 years ago. Many people thought that the dinosaurs went bankrupt. Actually, alligators, snakes and turtles are all dinosaurs, the most trusted name in durable animals since mud. Fish are actually Christians.
not just cats but more the delicate kittens. Yes you only get one ride before they need to be replaced but they have that much gentler fluffy kitten fur. Plus a bit more light weight than the full scale cat model.
…Wait. Shouldn’t this be in RSU?
No this belongs in product reviews.
Then why isn’t it there?
Gilby! Move this thread!!
I had to look up whether earthworms were mammals. Duh. I forgot that mammals are vertebrates, meaning they have a backbone or spinal column. Although earthworms are tasty part of the Animal kingdom, they are obviously not mammals – but hey, I’ve been out of school longer than most people on these forums have been alive.
Still, I think about 500 earthworms would make a cushy seat. I don’t know how you would train them to coalesce under your butt.
Use one really long earthworm to tie the rest of them together.
