My 3rd installment to unicylist. (eastreet/deepcove).
This weekend we did freestyle/trials in Vancouver. I focused on our freestylist, Anne. Bon appetite.
The fountain is harder than it looks on film. Your pedals hit and the gaps are smaller than a wheel. Plus they’re claustrophically small; Its fantastic.
Thought I’d explain the credits…
Free of style
Anne is great freestyle, and president of Frances unicycle club, but I think she likes Vancouver to be free of responsibility and just enjoy the ride.
Back worlds
James did his best 1 foot backwards yet. Nearby Science World has ‘Body Worlds’. He also had a nice fall onto his back.
Sitting pretty
Tynan has a comical fall on the stones.
Trials by junior
Ryan made the perfect trials line on the fountain. He is 14 years old. Meanwhile, the Robert Pickton trials makes headlines here.
Unwitting base jumper
Last week Yggy tempted fate on a cliff. This time he tries a slippery skinny railing.
Happy Nation
Picked because the rhythm is right for street, and the lyricss match our welcoming AnSo to Canada. Somehow I cant use an Eminem song with Anne in it. Ace of Base have a voice of optimism and yearning to do better. Almost every clip was success and failure. C’est l’uni
At Moab 2006 I won the 12" unicycle! You can see Matthew trying to ride it in this video: http://frank.vanuni.com/ScienceSept2006.wmv
He’s only 8, but has the right fearless attitude. He’s just not very good at it… yet.
John, I played it on ps3. (mplayer under linux)
I’ll do the youtube, but it hurts the cinematography and you get mono sound.
I’m glad you enjoyed the freestyle. Kaori’s Defect segment is inspirational, taking it outside the gym.
One on one - the part with James walking with 2 unicycles. Ya, its a stupid fun trick. I wonder if there are more in that vein?
