I broke a couple spokes yester day and did some rev’s over stair sets. Next trick unispin down a stair set.
I almost landed a crankflip. I am comfortably over the uncycle, but I don’t know why I can’t get my legs back to the pedals without backing off.
Just takes time I guess.
Just a semiflip. I could never flip the whole way. Way back when, I thought a “crankflip” was just a half turn.
I know you guys wont believe me, But I’ve never flipped a 6 set or jumped down an 8 set.
But I did flip a 7 set (and on film)
crankflip and I got another rolling wrap to backroll
Today I landed jump mounts. They were really easy, I did it on my first try. But I was being an idiot and not wearing my shinguards and after a couple times I hurt my leg.
This weekend I rode and rode. Felt great, and I had a great time. Best ride since last year. About time I say.
Convinced my mom to try unicycling. She did it for about an hour and was able to move along a wall back and forth. She fell and hurt her elbow and gave up for the day. We’ll have to see if she continues
is did a synonym for crankflipped? If so then congrats.
On August 16th, 2008 I competed in the Huntsville Sprint Triathlon on my 36" unicycle. It was a 3 mile cross-country run followed by a 6 mile ride and lastly a 400m swim. I finished 82nd of 471 finishers in 54:52. My 6 mile ride split, including both transition times (run to ride, ride to swim, conservatively ~1:30) was 28:16. I rode my new Coker Big One with 150mm cranks.

I also did this triathlon two years ago on my original 28" unicycle (26x3 Gazz with 150mm cranks). I was over 20 minutes faster this time around! I ended up talking to several people who thought the unicycling was pretty cool and they’re thinking about trying to learn so that they can uniycle the course next year! Overall most people were very positive and supportive and I only got a few “where’s your other wheel” comments, mainly good humoredly from my good friends!
cool Mom!
Today I hit 13.9 mph (22.37 kph) peak speed on the Holy roller: 26" wheel with block treaded tyre, 125 mm cranks. (Speed according to GPS.)
It was wind assisted, but a personal best on this machine, and not bad for a middle aged office wallah.
Well done Mike!
The 14mph barrier is in sight.
(Some other middle aged office wallah envious of your ability )

Hmmm. and if I can add a further 7% to that then my peak speed will be the same as Roger Bannister maintained for a whole mile with no wheels at all.:o
All things are relative (as that Einstein bloke said).
I’d be pretty happy with finishing 6 minutes behind the womens marathon gold medal winner: Paula Radcliffe considers it failure, even with a fractured leg.

And asthma.
Indeed I am lucky Today though no luck with her on it, she was busy. I think she has pushed past the “this is impossible” mind block though as both of her kids do it. (my sister and myself)
Today I did a sloppy crankflip up the curb and did the jump transition into standup wheel walk.
Today I did a running jump to glide mount, into a 180 unispin transition from glide to pedals
