I got up this morning and saw your thread and just had to view the movie, so I started downloading it and had breakfast while it downloaded. Watching you ride that beast was a great way to start the morning, I especially liked the “running sucide mount” and the hops. Looks like you’re already more than “good” on it!
Absolutely amazing Sofa, that’s something for me to refer to when I’m doubting whether or not something is do-able on a 36" UW. It was well worth the download and would still have been if we still had 56k here at home. I was particularly amazed at the rolling mount. As I mentioned in another thread I’m really keen to try them…now I know it’s possible. Well actually I was talking about a rolling suicide mount, but I’m sure you’ll have that down soon enough too.
Thanks for sharing. It’s great when a new form of unicycling is ‘discovered’ like this. I realise this sort of thing may have been done before, but I have never seen it being done.
I have yet to find any sort of compression that does not mess up the quality too much, so I would much rather put up a 40MB version than a grainy 20MB one. Stay away from Cameras that do .mov’s
Andrew, I’ve already got the rolling suicide done now, since that clip was taken.
It is incredibly heavy.
I have landed crack and balls to rubber a few times, but it doesn’t hurt all that much, the wheel kinda gets out of the way soon enough
Wow, congratulations. Any tips for rolling mounts and rolling suicde mounts? Have oyu tried any backwards riding on it? It’s a lot of fun. I can now freemount it most of the time, and I’m finally beginning to ride with the wheel a little more upright than before. I love it, it’s so much fun. Thanks for inspiring me to try.
I have got a tiny distanc backwards, maybe 2-3 strokes
I haven’t figured out idling yet
Tips on a rolling suicide mount…roll UW…run and leap. wish i could be of further assistance
I’m also working on a few other cool tricks right now, this is so much more fun than a 24" (although to be honest, I have spent much more time on this one)
Yeah, they are not the best, but you could download “Bink and Smacker” from http://www.radgametools.com/ then you can convert the file from .mov to .avi, and compress them.
First, I do like the movie, the way it’s done is pretty cool to me. Like the music, like the moves, and you make riding that thing look pretty easy (and fun!). If I was going to get a UW, I would have to go with one like this. It is pretty pimp. The file was a bit big, but eh. Did you make that UW? It is cooooool. I’ve never really been drawn to them. But this one… this one is different. I’m attracted to it. Awesome job overall. Awesome wheel. I need one.
I haven’t had a chance to download the video yet, so I may be wrong in saying this. But if the “evolution of unicycling” means doing away with the seat, I’m not sure I’m going to want to evolve that much…
