Video a week - for a year!?

Videos
1

hey everybody
I was thinking earlier that i enjoy making videos and have recently got back into unicycling after an injury so im going to try and make one video every week for a whole year
I think this will be a great way to track my progress and also possibly improve my editing skills ones i get premier back! :smiley:
Iā€™m thinking all videos are only going to contain clips filmed in that week, so as to keep the ā€œprogress trackingā€ thing up to date, and also hopefully to keep the tricks fresher.
so iā€™ll start this off with a few clips from today!

Thanks a bunch, all comments and (constructive) criticisms are welcome :smiley:

Only thing I really have to say is to try to eliminate all the prehops, or at least edit them out of the clips. Good luck with your project, Iā€™ll check in now and then to see how youā€™re progressing.

thanks eli, iā€™ll try :smiley:

you should start workin on your static sif sidehops immediately as well.

i actually started yesterday, but not static, with prehops. i think i managed 3 pallets a couple of times :smiley:
but can i ask, is there any particular reason for static rather than with a prehop?
thanks :slight_smile:

definitely.

it teaches you how to actually tuck, not just bounce up to the object. itā€™s when i started static that my hops really improved.

plus, not every ledge has the room to prehop.

and, usually when you hop onto a high ledge to hop onto something else, you wonā€™t have enough room to prehop.

itā€™s just good to know how to hop without a prehop, youll get better control, and itā€™ll help to reduce setup hops.

it is annoying to have to drop your hopping height to start static, but give it timeā€¦itā€™s well worth it.

plus it just looks good.

Ahh, everything makes sense now
thanks :slight_smile: iā€™ll go out in a bit and practise static hops then!
do you think itā€™d be beneficial to purely practise SIF for a while? when it comes to hops at least

8

yeah definitely.

i used to hop seat in, but i never do anymore.

if you still want to learn seat in hopping you can, but i think sif is more important. you should put more into sif.

I think w/ every week it would be hard to keep them looking fresh, w/ different locations, tricks, and obstacles.

IMO every other week would be a lot of vids while still challenging yourself to improve, and find new locations and (or make new obstacles, w/o getting too repetitive.

Iā€™m doing the same thing, though I donā€™t have a time limit (Iā€™m thinking every 2 months or so roughly). I think itā€™s great to have videos to look back on - it really helps boost your moral when you are feeling like you have made no progress. Looking back at my 2 previous videos Iā€™m blown away by how much Iā€™ve improved!

Oh and nice video :slight_smile: I enjoy seeing videos like this on the forums, While watching someone pull 540ā€™s off 5 sets can be entertaining I like to see more people showing off their skills at my level of riding :slight_smile:
