Just One - my response to skrobo's callout

[sp4rky-m4rky]

Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaO3NgJ4bW8) it is everyone. Its finaly up. Its not as good as I would have liked because I have broken my toe and cant film for a while. I had to leave out a few clips and tricks and wasnt able to refilm some of the worse clips but still, I hope you like it.

[Chexjc]

Damn dude...didn't you just learn crankflips and 360 unispins. Now you're crankflipping a 5 set?!?! That was a pretty good video.

thanks
It was quite a few weeks ago that I landed my first crankflip and taking them down sets isnt that hard as long as you comit yourself and have confedence.

Great video! Although, I am wondering if you actually rode out of the crankfilp down the 5 set. It looked like it was cut pretty quick after you hit the ground.

[LucasWintercrane]

yeh it was because his filmer cut it off and then it rained when he went back, i believe him because he was so pissed at his ginger filmer lol
it is a great video, well impressive xx

I know, Im anoyed about it and I was re-filming it but I bust my foot and broke my toe so that ended up being the best shot, I also wanted to refilm some other shots and grind the rail but my foot is realy bad and I want it to heel fast so I can ride again. heres (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Puk2EBuPHw0) the film off the camera of me flipping the 5set with nothing eddited out so it has all my falls its pretty funny to watch :D

when my foots better I will get a better shot for you

[Jonny_Peacock]

are you gonna make a thread for people to vote in with a poll?

[sp4rky-m4rky]

uh I guess so, I was going to leave that to skrobo though

[r-cormier]

skobo got pwned! youre WAY better then him in pretty much everyway ;)

[amanda.gallacher]

awesome video. loved it

[1800unispin]

amanda, you are so hot.

[Erant]

amanda, you are so hot.

Oookaaay... Considering your other posts, that is officially... very scary. My suggestion to you? Go away, quietly, and very quickly.


Concerning transport to a unicycle event or smth:

ich hab noch vier plätze frei, weiblich, HOT, unter 15 jahren bevorzugt.

translation:

I still have four spots, female, HOT, under 15 has priority.



jungs unter 10 im notfall auch.

translation:

Will accept boys under age of 10 as well



Liebe Janina,

wenn du willst kann ich dich mitnehmen. Dann haben wir zwar keinen Platz mehr für die Taschen, aber wer braucht schon Klamotten?

translation:

Dear Janina,

if you want you can travel with me. i have a spare seat but theres no space for clothes. noone needs them anyway


'nuff said?

[Matt_V]

That was awesome, you are improving soooo fast. I remember when you learned 360 unispins and crankflips a just a while ago. I still can't even crankflip.

I would say that you won.

[The.Mars.Volta]

nice flip down the four and a half set
youbeat scobo i rection

[hobo_chuck]

hmm, sparkys user title still says "riding 5 months, soon to be gliding"
i think ill change mine to "riding 5 months-gliding is fun!"

you pwned scrobo, and i do absolutely no street/trials riding (well, maybie a little bit....)sooo....:D

[unicycledood]

scobo would beat you in trials and hops and probably all your other moves sept flips. It is pretty obvious that you have been riding for 5 or so months but your flips and hops are awesome, rolling 360 unispin was nice too.

[skilewis74]

I really liked it :)

Judging by these two videos:
Overal I'd say skrobo's is better.

But if this was just a street call out, you would have the edge.

dude, i agree, but i don't know about my video, i don't like it anymore.
yesterday.. i rolled up to a HUGE 12 set, biggest I have ever seen. steps were at least 13" across... and i stepped off. i know i can do it. i hate it(not that my friend saying " you can't do it" helped anything, he can't hit an 8). i need to ride more, thanks marcus. i think you just convinced me to get off my but and learn some street stuff (crankflips), and get back to launching stairsets. I'm going to do something massive.

yeah, i knew that he was better than me at street, i don't know about mine being better. if his had more flow it would be a MUCH better video. but what do you expect, it is his 2nd video. its my 6th? (not all of them were posted to these forums at all)

Your always going to feel that way about videos. I mean once you make a video you should post it as soon as possible, or else in a few days you'll learn a new trick like a crankflip then want to wait untill you can do it down some sets before you post your vid. Then by the time you learn to do that all of your other tricks are out dated and you have to start again ahahahohoho.

[sp4rky-m4rky]

Im going to make another video soon when my foots better, I may call someone out. I want to crankflip that 5 set again and make sure I get it all on film. My freestyle uni should come in a day or two so I will hopfuly also get some gliding in my next vid.

I dont think we need a poll for this, the main idea of callouts are to get people to ride more winning doesnt matter.

glad you liked my vid, my next will be better, I wont be rushing it so I will take more care in making sure I add no pre/corection hops.

The hop onto the bench at the start was about 33 or 34" I think it started off at about 34" but after jumping onto it a few times it became realy wobably and dropped to about 33"

you pretty much pwned him with crankflipping the 5 but you didn't show the roll out so... you guys tied.

and then you did the seat throw on the table. and didn't show you putting the uni on the table. so you didn't win

[unicycledood]

Those seat throw things arnt impressive at all unless you jump onto the table, adjust yourself fast enough then do the swing. The adjusting is the hard part. Common noob mistake. (made by me when I was at that stage too of course)

I was going to scrap that along with quite a few other clips but after busting my foot I couldnt film anymore so I didnt have anything to replace it. Im realy anoyed about it and wish I could still ride now so dont rub it in.

[Spencer Hochberg]

A short vid is better than a long one with a bunch of filler.

[BYZA]

very true spencer. and mark yes you have come a long way with your flips, but skrobo obviously is a lot better with his hops down and over things. and once you showed the 5 set flip you really didnt need to show the 3 set flip as it is obvious that you would be able to do it....

yes seat flips do look very pox if you dont show you hopping onto the table, thats why i showed it in my vid, although i cannot adjust quick enough yet so it still didnt look that special..

personally i think you focussed too much on the flips in your vid, and it would have been a better vid if you would have cut some of the flips out, yes a shorter vid, but no repeats even if the reapeats are a bit different...

i am not saying that my vid was good tho, as i slowed a few things down that i shouldnt have etc but i am just trying to help you..

i hate to say this but as for enjoyment to watch, i preffered marks vid, but as for who i would pick as a winner for rideing skill and presentation i would have to say rob, sorry mark but thats how i see it.

now off to practice so i can callout matt V.. later homies

[LucasWintercrane]

you lot are giving a bit too much stick about repeating flips, its not like he repeated the same shot loads, 2 different sets is nothing wrong with.
and the other flip lines were quite creative like off that block thing, everyone repeats tricks they have just landed its a pride thing!

[sp4rky-m4rky]

The problem I have is that were I live is rubish for riding, my first vid showed everything that I could find in my village and my second one shows everything I could find in town. If there was more intresting, harder things to ride on I would ride on them and im sure it would make my vids so much better. Also I do all the filming myself with a tripod (apart for a bit this time were my friend just pressed record for me) and I find it hard to do a series of tricks in front of the camera without being realy far away and then when Im far away its hard to see whats going on. I dont think I will make another vid for a while untill I go some were new with more intresting things to ride on.

[torkerdx]

riding is like poker. it isn't about the cards you are dealt, it is about what you do with the cards that are dealt to you. shaun k is good about that. he can session a stair set for a long time and still not be repetitive.

and i am not rubbing in the fact you could not ride. i am just saying that your video would have been better off being shorter without those clips.

Thanks, I will try and remember this for my next vid. I will take a bit more time with it and try and make up for this one.

I don't mind the same trick being done several times.

I'd rather watch a vid w/ 5 very diff looking tricks each done a couple times but in diff locals or very diff camera angles than like 8 flip tricks in one spot.

[The.Mars.Volta]

the seat throw trick is called a seatwhip, dan h. invented it.
