New Video: Uni-Geezer 4: "Reaching New Heights" (Good Link)

[MuniAddict]

This is my favorite "Geezer" vid so far! In part due to some nice people who provide some fun little bits here & there. I think there's one part you'll find really hilarious! :)

Also a new personal best for me by landing my first 6-Set! :D
I gotta tell ya, I HATE heights so this was pretty scary for me, and took me a while just to talk myself into going for it! Yeah, I know that I didn't launch up really high (because the way I saw things, I was already high enough off the ground as it was!) so I launched up a few inches, and out almost 7 feet, to clear all 6 stairs! To me that's what counts; Clearing them! Yeah baby, yeah!:D (I may just try a "lucky 7" set since I cleared the 6-er by a pretty good margin!)

What's also cool is that I actually got a guy to run behind me and videotape me, while I bombed some cool Muni singletrack! (You can hear him running!:p)

I wanted to edit some more, but movie maker kept FREEZING almost every time I made a single new edit! Very frustrating! So I hope you all enjoy this video and I look forward to reading your comments! Thanks! :)

**PS: The few subtitles are mostly for the benefit of my non-unicycling friends and relatives.

**PS #2: The old gentleman (Michaelangelo) who introduces the video is only 10 years older than me!:eek:

I don't belive in luck and from the conlcusion of a extreamly scientific disscussion between my friends and I over a game of pool we have decided unconditonally that luck does not have anything to do with it and it is undoubtadbly, a blessed 7.;)

Just thought I'd straigten that out. :D

P.S. I love the kid in the beginning...old fart productions hahahah...hahahahahhahahah

Edit: Good choice on music.

What you using, Windows Movie Faker?

[MuniAddict]

What you using, Windows Movie Faker?Yeah I need to really get into better editing software, but I've been so spoiled 'cause MM is so easy. But yesterday was the breaking point!:( It got to the point where as soon as I opened the program it would just shut down! I know it's not my laptop 'cause everthing else runs perfect, and it's virus free. Iwent to so message boards and turns out it's a common problem with no definitive fix. The more "clips", transitions, and effects you use, the more problems occur.

THE funniest part, I think was the uni-guitar. Reminds me of your "Duelling Munis" vid. But as a whole, the funniest of ALL your videos.

What's also cool is that I actually got a guy to run behind me and videotape me, while I bombed some cool Muni singletrack! (You can hear him running!)
I don't think I would have been that trusting of "some random guy." Was he really random or did you already know him?

[pinefresh]

He's a few older than you but not nearly in as good of shape. Also a smoker, despite my efforts.

good job geting better. ride sat.2-17 ?:D

[MuniAddict]

good job geting better. ride sat.2-17 ?:DThat's possible but I have work 'till about 1pm, so a later start like maybe 3pm would be good. Only thing is I'm getting bored with Lynx/rockit, etc. There *is* another trail there called "5-oaks" which is a killer DH that spills into the canyon and then there's some other cool trails down there, so maybe those, but I'm burnt on the usual stuff there.

Here's a look at it: http://www.geoladders.com/show_route.php?route=139

that was one of your best movies yet. your progressing extremely fast, and concurring things I haven't even tried:o I look forward to your next vid

[wickedbob]

One word AWSOME that is a great vid , I just wish I was that good. I better get to practice when the weather warms up a bit.:) I watched all the vids, but this one is the best great job.

Hey, where has Perry gone? Havn't seen him in one of your videos for a while.

[MuniAddict]

Hey, where has Perry gone? Havn't seen him in one of your videos for a while.He was "home schooling" for a while, then re-registered for school, so i guess he's had to play 'catch up" and stuff. He also doesn't really ride MUni anymore, as he seemingly lost interest.

When I asked him recently if he still rides at all, he said he hasn't had much free time. Yeah I hope he gets back into it because he was doing so well and learning very fast!

[epistolize]

supercool man: :D me likey-likey. well done on the 6set.

[evainus]

nice work on getting the 6 set

[Raappu]

I agree with the others. Great riding! By the way, which unicycle was it that you rode in the two static jumps in the beginning of the video?

[MuniAddict]

I agree with the others. Great riding! By the way, which unicycle was it that you rode in the two static jumps in the beginning of the video?2007 KH 24" MUni; ridden in every scene in the video, but yeah, it's a bit hard to identify it clearly it in that first shot.

[Geeta]

Your video's great. Something for everyone. As to the "Valentine" spot, you don't think it's because you're such a show-off do you?

[MuniAddict]

Whoa, I just noticed that this video has had 5,000 views! I know that's not nearly as many views as some, but for my vids it's a lot! That's pretty cool it must be linked to some other websites and stuff. I originally posted it about 2/07, so it's an older one. Cool!:)
