new vid: 4/21/07

[Spencer Hochberg]

Hey,
Evan came over last weekend so I had access to a working camera (and someone to follow me around with it) so this is the result.
Everything except for a couple clips were filmed in one day.

Here is the link. (http://www.einradtrainer.de/utv/mov/movie/spencer/4:21:07.mov) It is uploaded to unicycle.tv.

It is 2:24 long and somewhere around 14mb.

There is one new trick in there that I think I am the first to land, I don't know what it is though. Evan and I just call it the twisty thing.

[uni.rider.13]

That was awesome! Have you ever landed a 720 unispin because you do 540s alot

[benjaug]

Really nice, Spencer. Both of those unis look awesome to ride.

[CKCrowe]

[Spencer Hochberg]

Right click- save as, then you can download VLC player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/). Open it with that and it will work.

[CKCrowe]

k, i downloaded it, but it says when i try to bring it up, movie couldnt work bla bla bla wronge compressor?

[MuniAddict]

Wow! Fantastic! Funny though, I have the vcl player, but it only plays *audio*, while my windows media player plays it fine. :confused:

[wickedbob]

That is strange, it plays fine for me in VLC and quicktime.

[CKCrowe]

Got it!
My advanced mind figured it out lol thx nice vid.

[trials-uni123]

nice vid

[forrestunifreak]

Smooth video, you did a bunch of stuff I've just learned/am trying to learn... grrr.

Cool you got the unispin to ww to unispin... that was goood.




The "twisty thing"? Isn't it just an inward unispin landed seat in with.. funky hand/seat position and stuff?

[skilewis74]

Nice Spencer, very smooth.
Your vid was very French-like.
How's that?

I think I've come to the conclusion that its an inward sidespin, after talking to a few people about it.

How's that?
A lot of the french riders do the same kind of flatland-type riding, like Dan Heaton and Xavier style stuff. Thats my favorite kind of riding, I am still working on it. I want to learn some crankroll stuff soon.

Yeah, I think that makes sense.

[Émile Mathieu-B.]

Ok, watched it on another computer.


:eek: Awesome:eek:

Your new orange uni looks cool to ride, it also looks awesomely light!

The side unispin were nice. Well, very very great vid:D

[ivan]

Very nice riding!

One question: how did you get it to be such good quality at such a low file size?
Could you please tell me what programs you used and what settings you had? I'm planning to make a video myself soon and it's important for me.

[olarf]

OK its done and online at utv now as wmv (http://www.einradtrainer.de/utv/files/videos/224.42107.wmv), mov (http://www.einradtrainer.de/utv/files/videos/224.42107.mov) and flv (http://www.einradtrainer.de/utv/files/videos/224.42107.flv) file.

By the way, there is now also voting availiable on utv, thanks to gossi again.

So you got moments on a koxx hub?

[Spencer Hochberg]

So you got moments on a koxx hub?
No, I was riding koxx cranks on both unis in there. I have a moment hub and cranks on the way from Bedford though for my trials uni.

One question: how did you get it to be such good quality at such a low file size?
Could you please tell me what programs you used and what settings you had? I'm planning to make a video myself soon and it's important for me.
I used final cut pro (I am on a mac) I just selected the "Broadband-High" option and I was really surprised how well it worked. The video glitches in a few spots but looks good overall. I usually have to export over and over again changing settings and then I get huge files or bad quality, I am just going to use that setting from now on.

Hmm.. Maybe the light just bounces off in some clips making them looks somewhat like Moments... or maybe I'm just crazy.

The paint is rather worn off on the sides of the cranks making them silver.

[Uniman_3]

you are way too good at riding.....

[Det-riot]

great vid. as many before me have said, it was real french, but in a diffrent way, idk how to describe it, but it wure was cool. once again great vid

[enahs]

Hmm, thank you. I guess I'll have to figure it out for myself in Adobe Premiere. Or maybe it has a similar option.

[The.Mars.Volta]

thanks olarf.
that was crazy spence. you're good at sidespins.
awesome stuff .
i like that paint job

[gordythegon]

ur geeting very good. u can see u getting better every vid.

any ideas on 540 unispins? i just cant get them

[thejdw]

nice vid, why doen't evan unicycle?

[strup_x]

awesome vid spencer, I love your tricks and your style.good riding man .bravo

[skilewis74]

nice vid, why doen't evan unicycle?
He rides (his gallery (http://www.unicyclist.com/index.php?page=gallery&g2_itemId=164082)), but he also does a lot of BC as well as bike trials as you can see in the vid. He's probably just as good as Spencer on the uni.

Evan is also creator of the downhill mountain BC - 24" w/ disc brake, wide nobby.

[Spencer Hochberg]

nice vid, why doen't evan unicycle?
He dislocated his shoulder hopping over a tennis net on a bc (in the video in my sig) so he is healing or whatever from that. He isn't going to bc anymore and he said before he wasnt going to uni anymore but now he is building a uni so we will see if that lasts.

[skilewis74]

great vid. as many before me have said, it was real french, but in a diffrent way, idk how to describe it, but it wure was cool. once again great vid
Maybe it's Spencer's preference for tighter genes like many Europeans, as apposed to baggy like most Americans.

I can see how it would make it easier getting in and out of SIF, SIB, etc. I've had the seat snag several times while wearing baggy pants.

[one wheely]

That's extremely extreme!
Good vid

[The.Mars.Volta]

also i forgot to say...
Evan, that crankflip on the backwheel of your trials bike is awesome. i thought i was cool doing crankflips on my bike just jumping off, no bunny hop, but not sitting on the seat either.
i've got a lot to learn.
but can you do switch crankflips on your bike.
i can
so ha
bye
