Has anybody ordered Universe 2 off of Sykoproductions.com? I would buy it off of Unicycle.com but at Syko it says the shipping is only $2.00. Plus is it a great movie? Better than Universe 1? What is your favorite part? Just wondering. Please reply. Thanks. Kelly.
I think It’s great. The riding is top notch, and the editing is wonderful. The music works well with the riding as well.
Everyone who has seen it will (or at least should) tell you it’s absolutely brilliant. YOU MUST BUY IT NOW! My favourite bits are all of Kris Holm’s muni and trials bits. Followed by Daike’s freestyle section…but it’s all absolutely amazing.

Did any of you order it from Syko Productions website?
I wouldn’t go so far as to say Universe 2 is “brilliant” but Max is right, the riding is top notch. Without a doubt, a good buy for any uni enthusiast
dude
universe 2 is the most insane thing anyone has ever done with unicycling
i didnt order it off sykoproductions.com but as long as you got the video then your set man
i would have to say the best part in that video is Dan Doerksens part just because he has a sweet style
I ordered it directly from Dan. I just emailed him at the address found on the Syko page. Because I ordered 2, he didn’t charge shipping even though I live in Hawaii. Just email him, or IM him. His SN is uniryder. He’s on quite often.

I think it’s fantastic. I haven’t seen universe 1, but all that matters is it’s worth every penny. Get it right now.
My favorite section is with Dan Doerkson (sp?). Daike’s freestyle section simply cannot be beat. It also has some footage of Sem Abrams (of Semcycle) and David Poznanter (I think he designed a hub of sorts. Someone surely knows more on the matter), which is nice.
After you see U2, you don’t care about U1 anymore… it blows it away. Dan Heaton opened my eyes to a whole new level of unicycling awesomeness, and every second of it was just great to watch. it’s the greatest extreme sports video i’ve ever seen… and i’m comparing it to numerous surf flicks (including the endless summers) and MSP’s ski movie trilogy. buy it asap.
while were on the topic, anyone know if syko or anybody for that matter is working on an extreme unicycling movie right now? Will there be a Universe 3?
us NZUNI boys (the new zealand guys) are making a ‘extreme’ unicycling vid with the talent we have here. although it wont be anywhere near the standard of skill in universe 2, it should be a good release. we are supposed to have started filming now, but we’ve kinda been delayed with stuff. its going 2 b called ‘uninhibited’ and im currently making the covers for it…and i would have posted an image in here, but they are all at my other computer…so keep watchin, and ill post em soon
I’ve just finished making my movie. There’s about 60 minutes almost of edited footage in there, but the editing’s really rough and it’s done more for my own memories than anything else. I’m going to make it available for download when I get around to it.
I have some good footage of Tony Melton which you’re welcome to if you’d like it. I still have the uncompressed files on the computer. Let me know if you want it early before I delete them. Who will be in the movie? Do you live near Tony?

i would sya my favourite part in U2 is dan heatons. he is a friggin nut. hes mixing street and freestyle and gets crazy moves. like who rides backwards down like two 25 sets in a row, and like backward riding wheelgrabs off picnic tables. hes throwing out nuts stuff these days. and as for U3, i know Dan is out there right now filming for a new video. still not sure if its gonna be called U3 or not. probably. but in like 11 days, i’ll be filming with him for a week for my part. and dont forget about jeff groves video “spaced out”. its gonna be available through darren bedford and syko productions i believe. i think the video is all done and it should be out by the end of august. ive seen some parts and it kicks ass! the music isnt as hardcore as in the universe movies, and the editing for the parts ive seen is awesome. i love jeff groves style for movies. anyway, make sure to get that. ive seen my part and it is pretty good. huge one footers down sets. so get it when it comes out!
peace, Kevin
Yep… I pre-ordered mine from Dan.

i havn’t seen universe 1, but im willing to bet that this is possibly the best unicycling video of all time, ( mwhich would make it better than universe 1.) i ordered my copy from unicycle.com, tho
I got mine from Syko Productions. It seemed to work just fine. No problem getting it at all.
I think my favorite part of the film is the bonus feature on the DVD (was it an easter egg?) with the deleted scenes of the cool riding where the music is very quiet and you get a chance to hear the creaking of the cranks and the sound of the wheel hitting pavement and going through the underbrush, etc. It’s a zen moment for me.
I also liked the music from this one better than from Universe 1. A little more variety (even if it was still too hardcore for me).
Im sure that we’ll be in touch a.s.a.p if we need that footage, thanks for the offer andrew 
so far, the plan is to try and feature most of new zealands riders, to try develop some exposure for the sport, being that its still really new here. there will probably be some main focus on the skilled riders, in the same vain as universe i think, with me, pete marchant, tony, ken, peter b and ben sarten. i am actually in wellington at the moment, so quite a few hours away from tony, but we did do a road trip up to see him last weekend, which was awesome. we also hope to make a few parodies, one of ‘rough terrain unicycling’ by george peck, and maybe of ‘unizaba’ in which we will find some similar terrain and re-work the narrations…if we are allowed. should be a good release, im currently designing the covers, and i’ll post them up here once i get back to my computer.
Will “Spaced Out” be availible from unicycle.com
well first off paco, shut up, i just thought id say that cuz i felt like it, i hear uve been critisizing a lot of people in the gallery section, but i dont care and dont ask me about it cuz i hate talking, and u2 rocks, my friend dan bellamy ordered it from dan, and i watch it, it was 30 cuz were canadian, and i like the song liar by much the same and all the riding in that part, the whole things owns, so yeah
I don’t mean to be rude, but I thought this post brought up an interesting point.
This post contains 11 commas, 5 contraction (none of which using an apostrophe), about 17 proper nouns (with no capitalization whatsoever), five topics, and not a single period.
If what we have to say is worth saying, then it’s worth saying coherantly. I’m not asking for perfection, but I think it would make the forums more pleasent if some people made a little more effort to make their posts both readable, and worth reading.
