Whats with the rubber bands?..

They look neat?

Actually, without the rubber bands, the hub would probably break.

Decoration. My trials uni has them too.

I love the 137’s for flips. I can double front and triple back. I haven’t tried a smaller set of cranks for multiple backflips yet tho.

I use 125 moments.

Hey Spencer, is it possible to take that bearing protector discs on the hub off?

So many people are going to have to read that a second time.

Yeah it is, they just slide on and off when the crank is off. I don’t know if you would have to replace it with another spacer or if the crank will just go on more. I haven’t have any problems with leaving them on though.

yeah they do it in this movie. and he does a cool trick where wehile riding with the seat draging behind him he jumps up and spins the seat under him so that it goes in front.

with all this custom frame building and such, perhaps evan should start EB unicycles. that frame looks hella cool.

I want to make frames to sell but i want to make atleast 10 more before i feel i can make a good frame thats worth selling.

well, if you need someone to give a prototype to… :roll_eyes:

do you guys think that we should standardize stairsets? like have certain height and length requirements for a set to be called an 8-set or something.

i agree with both these statments

(as in id take a frame too!)

I got an impossible street trick I just thought of filth flip into full rev and a body viral making it a 720… I’m counting on you luke…

No, that’s rediculous. Steps are all pretty much the same.

I can already do those. I’m working on doing them backwards.

Holy crap go you!

you could have a range for a total height and a range for a total length. That way if you wanted to you could build a ramp to spec that is smooth and has not steps just to practice on and it would be saffer for practicing new distances.

I agree that it’s ridiculous, but I disagree that steps are all the same…7 wide shallow steps can be harder to gap than 8 skinny steep steps, for example.

You can maybe divide the steps into different categories. Like ‘Hardcore’ category (20-30cm height, 5-7cm width), ‘Pansy’ category 1-2cm height, 10-20cm width), etc. Then you could say I triple-flipped a hardcore 10-set two days ago(you can say that in the trade section, “crutches wanted” thread). Or you could say I rolled down a pansy two-set(In the “Today I…” brag thead). You get the idea.

Different sub-categories for different types of sets. But it would need to be standardised for better cross-referencing and understanding. Then we could supply the specs to the building companies, just so they know the proper way of bulding stairs. Yeah…

I agree wth Luke, all stairs are pretty much the same. And any time someone is doing something foolish, it is usually accompanied by a video, in which case you can judge it by yourself. From the videos, you can tell whose varial flip down and 8 set is bigger. The same goes for the style of a person. We don’t categorize that. You watch a video and figure out from that how smooth they are and how good it looks. That’s how you can differentiate one person’s trick from another, don’t worry about trying to label it.
