Unicyclist.com upload isnt working? youtube was harse, so I tried google this time.
Seventh Secret is a trail on upper Mt Fromme. It was sunny, but really wet and had snow at the top.
Its also our 7th muni ride this year. (vs 6 trials rides)
I liked my boots for the ride. AnSo ruined her socks on a log… wouldnt have happened if she had boots. Everyone got wet feet and slipped in the snow. Some twisted ankles. We need better shoes. But thanks to great shoes, Ryan was able to drop 7 feet. I want whatever he’s wearing.
Its a shoe video. Muni is the backdrop.
Imagine if Nike made unicycle shoes. I think the muni ones would have ankle support, a bit of tread, and a KH signature.
Great bunch of riders… they really attack the challenges. We were out for 5 1/2 hours.
The Salvation and Deepcove vids are also great! Thanks a lot for sharing this…footage…! It’s terrific for learning. I’ve really got to practice hopping a lot more.
I definitely like seeing people go for the steadicam/tracking shots. However you should (IMO need) cut out the parts where you loose control of your “rig”.
This was my first google video… I was disappointed the basic quality wasnt much better than youtube. But if you click ‘download’ you get a better quality version that plays in Google Video Player.
Here’s the direct link http://video.google.ca/videogvp/FrommeMar2007wmv.gvp?docid=261057515583999800
But its still mono audio. If when unicyclist.com gallaries work again, I’ll upload the original.
Thanks! I cant name all my muni videos Mt Fromme, so I started using more specific trail names, which have pretty cool names.
Re loose control
Thanks for the feedback. I wanted to show it once or twice to emphasize the chaotic danger. In Salvation, Martin crashed into me.
But there wasnt any lost control in Seventh Secret?
Maybe you mean at 3 min 15 sec where I filmed with the camera behind my back, and then I quickly flip it around as she passes me. The camera did a blind 360
Muni is the backdrop.
