My First video I bothered to put together

[Ducttape]

well I took my video camera to school and messed around on a bunch of stair set there's lots of bailing and a few shots of me nutting myself. I didn't make it down any stair sets until the end thought, I never gave up and probably spent about 15 minutes trying to make all those stair sets......

the last set I jumped ending up in me being in surgery for a while(a 4/5 set that I landed oddly on and smashed my..... well I'll let you take a wild guess) I'm going to attempt the set again this weekend because I've increased my rolling hops pretty good. I may try to side hop down a small set this weekend (my Side hops are about knee height now which for me is about 22 inches and I can get decent distance with a side hop now almost half a parking spot)

mad props for your perseverence.;) i really felt for you on some of those bails.:eek: i would've said i knew where you were coming from, but as the video unfolded i began to say to myself- wow, this looks really masochistic:confused: , then i thought it was funny:rolleyes: . eventually i began to feel guilty for laughing at other people's misfortunes:o and then i thought to myself, this is a pretty cool video.

thanks for putting me through such a rollercoaster of emotions:eek: :confused: :rolleyes: :o :cool: - U2 went really well with the video too.

your welcome and if you look closely at my face in the slow motion clip of the second bail I'm kinda smiling... I dunno what that means but I think I was just having a little too much fun bailing... thanks for the compliment about the song, I wanted a sing that fit well witht the way it was cut together and was long enough to fill the entire video and I guess I picked just right, I was chosing between "With or without you" by U2 and "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls. those two songs both fit well and I chose "With or Without You" because I thought it fit slightly better.

I brought my uni to school once and spent the lunch hour riding around in the courtyard and showing off. I rode down a set almost exactly like the second one you do.

You've got perseverence. I counted 27 attempts. I bet you would have done it sooner if it wasn't raining.

When you get some cash get a saddle w/ a handle, a fatter tire (I think the widest that frame will take is a 2.1, but maybee a 2.25), and a heavy duty tube.
