Hey everyone. With the shooting of our movie, and the mass production that will follow. I’m now wondering, what kind of riding do you want to see in a unicycle video? What level should the riders be? (and) What street/trials/muni skills should they have? I would really like your feedback. When this movie is finished it’s free to anyone who wants it! Just holla! Thanks for the help.

I don’t really like watching MUni in a movie. I really enjoy watching freestyle, though. Or trials. Or street.
Will the video be available for download, or will you be selling it?
Movie
The Video will be too big for downloading, but if you want it, we would just send it out. No price intended. So i figure it’s a win, win. You get a movie for free, and we get noticed, lol. I’m glad you don’t like watching Muni in a movie. We weren’t going to have any. Ha. Mainly street, trials, and freestyle. I personaly can’t wait to be finished with this. We’ve been out shooting for many hours in many different days. The running time should be alittle over 30 minutes as well. Thanks for the feedback.
I’d love one of your movies…though I live in New Zealand which is a probably a little far and expensive for you to send (im guessing you live in either the US or UK?). But oh well just so you know.
Unispins often look cool in videos, and tricks that are on strange terrain, not just your usual stairs, blocks etc, but like over a homeless guy on a bench, that’d be cool.
Where do you live? Can you send a copy to Sweden?
Sending
I live in the states, so i’ll try to send one your way, for those of you that live way out there. But i’m not sure. I’ll try my best. thanks

you should be able to do 720 unispins down large sets of stairs, ride slackropes narrower than tire width, hop at least as high as your shoulder, take 7 foot drops on to 3 inch wide balance lines above pits of large, angry cobras. you should also be at least level 13 freestylers, capable of sideways seat drag handcuffed hand wheel walking. if you can’t do that don’t even bother filming.
skills
You missed the point man. I asked “Hard” things to do. Not childsplay. Respond when you think of something hard. Come on man don’t waste my time. This is a movie, not a play.

Re: skills
Yeah, come on, Badger! he wants hard skills… Anyone can sideways seat drag handcuffed wheel walk.
And if those cobras were poisonous, it might work… Otherwise, it’s still child’s play.
MUni totally sucks!
…Street and vert are tight stick to that.
alright, if you want to film something a little more challenging, a little flashier, swap cobras for velociraptors. also try seat drag wheel walking by doing “the worm” on the tire. contact me if you beat my personal best of 10 miles per hour. parkour-style building to building rolling jumps look pretty cool, especially with crankflips/no footers/BIG shifties incorportated. riding telephone lines/gapping to and from telephone poles look pretty cool, as do overpass jumps into the beds of moving trucks/speedboats/speadboats on trailers attatched to trucks.
if you’re having trouble pulling big rolling stunts off ramps, try hit them from coasting, you’ll get a lot more speed. virals/unispins look nice after coasting off ramps. if you do all that you should have a decent uni video.
by the way, intense DH MUni riding extremely technical lines as fast as possible owns hard. Unis arent fast enough to do anything on vert. you don’t think so? i’ll believe that when i see it.
honestly though, unifreak7, if your movie is anything like your unispin clips, don’t worry about it. the X up and aireal are the sickest things i’ve seen since… U2? who else agrees?
unifreak7 CHECK YOUR PMs
please
thanks
the other day i was trying over and over to do this one trick where i would rolling hop off a 12 set, and while in the air i would do a 180 and then take out a pedal wrench and switch the pedals, then land backwards, pedal a half rotation, stop, then rolling hop back up the set, 180, pedal switch, and land facing towards the steps. by the time i finally got it the battery was dead on the camera so i didnt get it. maybe next time.
but really, i like to see trials more than anything else because i ride trials. while i like watching muni, freestyle, street videos once or twice, i really want to see trials.
Holy shit. I just watched your unispin gallery and that’s some crazy stuff. Yeah, you know what time it is. If you haven’t already heard a million times, I’m making this video, it’s going to include tons of riders, been filming for over a year, and now I’m about to edit. But, if you have any footage you want to send me I would love to include it. Just any extra stuff you have or stuff you’d want to send.
Here’s a list of most of the riders that are going to be in it already: myself, Hell On Wheel, Jess Riegel, Sabin Arditty, Mike Middleton, Bevan Gerber-Siff, Andrew Carter, Tony Melton, David Poznanter, Kris Hellen, Ryan Atkins, Jeff Groves, Dan Heaton, bla bla bla bla bla
Many more riders too and I’m going to start editing in a couple of weeks, so I thought I’d ask if there’s anything you want to send to me last minute since you’ve been filming. This isn’t going to be for sale or anything, similar to your’s. And if you just want the publicity, that’s cool too.
Also, if you don’t know already, since you’re planning on sending your video to people outside of the US, you’re going to have to convert it to PAL format.
