[brendan]

[skrobo]

I've seen that b4 Its not new... idk where I saw it... maybe unicycle TV

[sp4rky-m4rky]

I have seen that before also and it was alot better quality, not sure were i saw it though :o

[Mikeswarbrick]

I can make a promise you haven't seen all of that. You saw about 6 clips that have stuck in your head. I can't believe you didn't notice some of the older stuff.

The clips you recognized was from trialsin.com (I think...).

Mike

P.S It was edited on a phone! hahaha.

[EDIT] He is just sending me his part. I hope he will then send me my part but well... I don't know.

[CKCrowe]

Here is his 110cm hop height. Enjoy. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPx3m2RjdaY&NR=1)

That hop took AGES to film :P, and in the process, he had to replace 2 inner tubes after constant attempts. Still, i'm pleased with the shot I got.

We should complete the actual full length vid rather soonish, and release it online. Hopefully this Sunday perhaps? (No promises, but I'll have to see what else I need to film of him).

But yeah, expect that fairly soonish. (That's if Joe's not playing in that Pro Evo 4 Ps2 tournament on the weekend haha). But yeah, I'll shoot a bit more night footage of him on saturday, we'll edit the vid at his place, and get something online.

SIF? Joe Hodges? That's a first...

[Sponge]

SIF? Joe Hodges? That's a first...

Nah, he's used SIF alot before, but he's better known for his seat-in stuff. He only prefers SIF for his largest sidehops and pedal grabs though. For almost everything else, he uses seat-in like static gaps and blasting through technical lines because he thinks that SIF is less stable on tricky terrain (namely rocks etc.)

reason is mainly because of his footing and hand positioning. He is one of the less common riders who hop to their back foot side and as a result holds his saddle with the same hand as his forward foot (left hand, left foot forward). Now compare that style to Kris Holm and Ryan Atkins' positions which are left foot forward BUT right handed. In SIF, when Joe sidehops to his backfoot side (his right) the uni will want to wobble around more because there is only his backleg stopping his uni which isn't very efficient compared to Kris and Ryan's way (the common way: sidehop to forward foot). Kris and Ryan when they sidehop, they sidehop to their forward foot and thus, their uni is supported by their forward thigh pressing against the saddle whilst hopping SIF.

Gosh I am jobless and bored. I haven't been in the scene for ages. I guess doing tons of GCSE english practice exam papers kinda rubbed off on the way I post on the forum :o

I will egg him on to get 100cm seat-in sidehop this weekend. He is such a lazy boob nowadays haha
