Some Syko footage

I notice dan ride with a low pressure in his tire. I though it was dangerous for breaking the rim during drop.

Am I wrong?

does that help for street move?

thanks

btw, I love that 270 to crank stall…

that’s kinda what I was thinking after seeing it for the second time. It doesn’t make sense that you’d get in a fight with a security gaurd, especially when you’re as conspicuous as a unicyclist.

Edit: for me, the highlight was tire roll to crankflip, that’s just INSANE.

Unless I looked at it wrong.

Awesome. Just awesome. I thout Shaun’s grind to crankflip was insane, until I saw the crankflip to grind. I am thoroughly humbled… I’M NOT WORTHY!!! I’M NOT WORTHY!!!

Really amazing riding, thanks for sharing it. The train tracks clip was really nice and controlled. I found some tracks to do the same thing on a couple of weeks ago…it’s fun isn’t it!

nope thats not mike, just an angry security guard.

so, did the fight continue? or was it just that little brawl? cause the camera cut off, and if it did continue on, who won?

ahh! that crankflip to grind was insane!! soooo soooo coool. Awsome video… Much better than much of defect… gunna watch it again now…

I liked those smooth lines: hopping stairs up and down and then to picnic table. Also that 270 pedal grab to bench. Awesome!

That’s one insane movie :astonished:
Keep on the good work Team Syko

that was mint!! Dan you’re a legend, keep it up, make more vids!

was zack gonna like through his uni at his head? now thats extreme. naw that was really good, i agree with everyone, it just flowed ansd was awesome.

haha, alright, let me know when you get my tape.

Are those regulation security guard shoes?

looking forward to seeing the full video

How do you keep an idiot in suspense?

… show him a video that has nothing to do with any upcoming full releases?

Thanks for the free clips! But I was kind of hoping for more stuff from the cutting room floor, like bulldogs and an old guy on a BC wheel…

Yes I’d like to know the real story with Zack and the “guy in uniform.” I’m very glad you did not include it in Defect. That would have “institutionalized” the idea that damaging public property (or private property that’s not yours) in the pursuit of unicylcing is somehow not an act of destruction/vandalism. Real security guard or not, it sure doesn’t make Zack look good. But we can only judge what we see unless we hear the story about the before and after…

Low tire pressure:
I’m not the expert (Zack is), but the rule is to keep enough air to keep your rim off the ground. If your surfaces are mostly flat, you can use a lot less than if you’re riding on sharp rocks, for instance. Assume that (when it involves riding only) Zack knows what he’s doing.

Yeah maybe, for those of us who never break rules and shun all forms of violence.

To the rest of us though, who don’t always like getting kicked out of publicly owned areas by useless power hungry rent-a-cops, it sure does make Zack look good and we say go Zack, nice work, take that hat, yeah HAHAHAHA genius.

Great video! best I’ve seen in a while. I liked the no footer crankstall and the 270 to crankstall. I also really liked that tire grab body varial on the slanted thing, how it combines street and flatland.

Excellent movie guys, its Defect standard :p. That conflict with the security has left me wondering what happenend? And wanting to see more of it!

Again great riding, Shaun loved the flip to grind!

I can understand the insider-humor of the thing, but I’m going to have to lump you in with Zack (until we know the real story) as an it’s-okay-to-damage/destroy-public-property-cuz-I’m-a-member-of-the-public kind of person. It doesn’t work that way. Some security guards (and cops) may have ego problems, but it doesn’t make them wrong about protecting a railing for hands, for instance.

You make it sound like there’s no difference between scratching a railing and walking away, and assaulting a guy who’s trying to do his job. I’m pretty sure assault is a felony. Big difference.

On the other hand, I’m a huge fan of the scene in the original Universe where Dan’s brother destroys that cheap-o, tricycle-technology uni. Many people didn’t get it, but I learned on one of those things. I highly approved.
