sick :roll_eyes:

Terrific stuff!
Shug

From far enough away and at the right angle it looks like you’re just kinda floating hahahaha

i wanna see more failed attempts. i hear unis go flying

In the beginning it was realy dangerous because the uni went everywhere when I lost balance (my slackline friends usualy go 3-5m away when I practice and the camera man was realy scared to film the close angles :)).
But I practiced it realy realy often and now I catch the uni most of the time. Hurts my arm a lot because there is a lot of pressure on the uni when “launched” from a slackline :).

I can post some pictures of a flying uni later.

Anybody else tried to unicycle on long slacklines?

Absolutely fabulous Lutz

I’ve done quite a bit of slacklining and I’ve tried to ride it once but it’s completely different to riding skinnys because of the way that it moves under you.
I liked the video a lot.

Very impressive! I can’t even walk on one :o

Maybe I will make a bail video later. So far only some pictures. It took me 3 days to finish they line and I have tons of bails. In the right picture you have search to find my uni ;).

Really cool video!
I love the photos :stuck_out_tongue:

this was sweet :wink:
you use the 7D ?

Impressive:D

An English guy (I can’t remember his name, he rode for Qu-Ax) juggled 3 clubs on a short slackline and posted the vid here w/ the other videos a year or two ago.

Lucas Wintercrane. Wasn’t it more than three clubs as well? For some reason I’ve got five in my head…

Rob

No, just 3. Still amazing though, juggling 3 clubs, on a unicycle, and in a still stand :astonished: never mind he’s also on a slackline.

Only three successfully anyway. He was trying five at the end of the film, but dropped them - that must have been where I got the five from. Useless Lucas! (although that was some time ago and I haven’t seen him for ages, so it’s quite possible he’ll be doing five or more by now…)

Rob

I cant see the video (stupid copyright claims in germany) but I think I have seen it before. Lucas juggling is realy awsome but I think it is something completly different to unicycling a real long slackline or a rail.
I just watched a video of mike padial where he tries a slackline but thats the only video in this direction I have seen so far.

(at 63 secs).

I am realy interested how long it will take others to learn to ride a slackline because it took me two summers to be safe in it (and I could ride every not moving skinny I ever tried before).

Max did one in this video at :40, it was at the NAUCC trials comp. I don’t know if he ever tried riding one before though.
