Video Trick Clip Contest Number 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skrobo]

ok, so the video contest that went down a while back could use a repeat. i think there are many many new riders who are capable of competing in it

if i can recall, here are the rules
the first person does a trick
the second person does that trick then another trick consecutively.
the third person adds another trick
and another.... etc etc
rules are: no breaks in the video, no leaving the video frame, no more than 3 full pedals, no more than 4 hops between tricks, and nothing more than simple unispins or a crankflip that an average "good" rider can do. (i.e. hickflips= NO)
the only reason for the last one is to make it last more than 10 tricks and make endurance a big part (i think the very first one went 16 or 18 tricks)

I think thats it.


lets start it with a 180 unispin

after this you have to prove your achievements with a video.
just for laughs, here is the last contest winner: http://www.unicyclist.com/index.php?page=gallery&g2_itemId=223354

K. But its kinda dark right now. Who's going to start off the 180 unispin?
I would but Id rather do a bit more than that.

Video Trick Clip Contest Number 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are 13 exclamation points necessary?:rolleyes:

Anyways, this game was kind of fun when I started it a while back (link is below), the only problem is that it gets boring after a while, because it is just the same tricks over and over. I would suggest bringing spencer's Uni Tricks Clips Game (link is below) back if any game is brought back. In that game, a person would post a 3-5 trick combo, and the next person would copy their combo and then film a new 3-5 trick combo (it wouldn't keep adding up).

Uni Tricks Clips Game (spencer's game) (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44975)
Add on Combo Game (the game that I made a while back that is similar to this one) (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47406)

[timbob1907]

Okay ill work on it tomorrow. But start off easy please cause I dont know that many tricks :P.

[sp4rky-m4rky]

I will go out and film a 180 unispin quickly then to get this started......

[sp4rky-m4rky]

Uploading it to youtube now, link coming soon.

I've been working on doing one trick, to another ect... but spencer said idk which thread that a combo is one trick to another, no hops, and one rotation at the most.

[timbob1907]

Yeah but these arent combos... they are just tricks. We used a few to many hops but the tricks are still there.

All the tricks are ment to be quite simple so that most people can take part (unlike the other contest were only the better riders could) if hicks are considered too hard so should smallspins and 360 twists otherwise I could have just gone out and filmed a few hickflips and a 180 flip and then there are only a few people who could compete because straight away they cant do the trick and stand no chance of landing them after doing a series of other tricks.

I thought the idea of this competition was to take a few simple tricks and land them one after another making it hard but letting the riders who can only land those tricks still compete.

[Uniman_3]

oh well just makes us guys who suck at freestyle and flatland more aware as to who ask questions to about certain tricks...

ok, yeah, lets go back to the 360 unispin. forget the 360 and smallspin.

so


timbob1907's

Here's my little brother's: youtube
-180 unispin
-180 unispin
-360 unispin

lets go from there.

[sp4rky-m4rky]

ok I just went out and did that quickly but added a seat drop on the end which Im sure everyone can do.

so now it is:

180 unispin
180 unispin
360 unispin
seat drop

I will put it up in a min, its not too clean but I only had a few shots at it because it started to rain.

[sp4rky-m4rky]

Ok here (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=tx1XVuGu0cQ) it is. Its far from clean, If it doesnt count I will do it again (when it stops raining).

[timbob1907]

Thats lame. First of all a 360 hop twist is really easy. Almost anyone can do it and you can cheat a little on the hop and landing by just turning. And a static smallspin is just a 180 unispin with a bit of a body varial. anyone who can do 180 unispins or 360 unispins should be able to do it with a little practice. So theres no point to take out those two tricks if you leave the 360 unispin in there. I think you should leave it how it was. A smallspin is a very simple unispin trick and a 360 is just riding. Sparky i think you should refilm and put the seat drop at the end.
Edit: the lame isnt to your vid sparky (cause i wrote this before you posted) it was to the taking out those two tricks.

Skrobo said nothing as hard as hickflips (which is fair enough because it lets more people compete). I found hickflips easy to learn and It took me alot longer to land a smallspin and I can still barly 360 twist. So to me 360 hop twists and smallspins are harder than hicks and if hicks are "too hard" so should 360 hop twists and smallspins be.

[timbob1907]

This is kinda supposed to be a competition... not a "see how many 180 unispins you can do in a row". If you say 360s and smallspins are too hard then what tricks are you going to do? the comp's almost over if you limit the tricks that much. Redo your vid with the tricks we did. They are a little challenging but so what? I know you can do them so do it.

[torkerdx]

360's hard? HAHAHAHA

ok your little jokes over. stop complaining that you are getting pwned by an easy trick.

tim is still winning.


sparky- your learning curve is not the only learning curve. i can't crankflip (theirfore no hickflip) never tried small spin (you could land it after a couple of tries) and 360s i have been landing after 2-3? months of riding. so our 2 learning curves are completely different. 360s are way easier than hickflips. think about it. 3's you have to deal with spinning your body where as hickflips you have to spin and crankflip. (unless i am thinking of another trick)

[one-wheeled-bozz]

yea i agree, put those back up. till last week i had never tried smallspins and got one 2nd try then as you see in my latest vid i do them rolling. i cant yet do 360's because i never bother with trying them but im sure i cld get it with in half an hour. this comp shld aslo be a learning game for new comers to the sport?

[timbob1907]

Yeah thats what i mean. Not really new comers but people who havent bothered to learn these tricks. The hardest one is the 360 unispin. The other two "hard" ones would just take a little practice as you said. So lets continue the comp. Sparky you could add your seat drop to the end if you want but do it soon so no one takes your spot.
EDIT: okay now that we have almost a whole page with no riding lets try to keep the next posts on topic with new vids of the line.

[sp4rky-m4rky]

Its looking very wet here for a while so dont wait for me to post a vid, I will do it as soon as I can but my pedals/shoes have almost no grip so I tend to land very little in the rain.

Im ok with the tricks I was just exspecting someone else not to be. One problem is, if you have just learnt a trick chances are you wont be consistant and consistancy is key with this.

[timbob1907]

Well that sucks. Hope the weather gets better soon. I cant make the next vid but someone should.

Yeah consistency is needed but thats one of the points: to get people to go out and try to do better. Im not that great at smallspins (obviously) but I wanted to add it cause that way it makes me practice. So I think the real "key" is practicing so you are consistent. Not doing tricks that you can do easily and consistently.

[skrobo]

i may make one tomorrow after work if i have energy, if not, i will sleep then make one.lol if i can do all of it. i have done smallspins, but i don't like them so much.

uhm
try to stick with the 4 hops
if you have to video it again, you have to video it again. tire compressions are fine, but hops= no

[skilewis74]

IMO
If someone is going to go next they should post that they are and what tricks they are going to do, and nobody takes their spot.

Then they have 24 hrs. to do the trick, then film and post it.

Like they did in one of the previous games. It seemed to go real well like that.

[skrobo]

that sounds good, but i'm not going next.

[sp4rky-m4rky]

I was about to go out as the rain seised but in the time it took to pad up and get the camera ready the rain started again. Im not going to say that I will go next as I dont know when I will be able to ride but If the rain stops for long enough I will try and go out and get it on film.

Edit: 600th post:D

[one-wheeled-bozz]

i could try and land a 360 unispin again tomoro, i cld be next? lol. well see iuf someone else wants to go feel free to take my place.

so whats it up 2 now?

[sp4rky-m4rky]

There was a brief pause in the rain and the road started to dry out so I went out quickly, I got it but its very bad so I dont think I will put it up. It looks like it may stop again soon so I may try again before the forcasted thunder storms come in :(

I added another 180 unispin on the end of it to bring the seat back to being the write way round.

[sp4rky-m4rky]

oh, raining again, looks like I missed my "window" I think its set to stay :( I could post what I got but I dont think its worthy :(

[sp4rky-m4rky]

Ok I have put it up on youtube now heres (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-VZNaNePk8) a link. If you dont think its good enough I will do it again but you may have to wait a while untill the rain stops. please could someone add a crankflip next ;)

[sp4rky-m4rky]

so whos going next then? anyone new going to start competing?

[CKCrowe]

I think you should do 360 unispin as the most advanced trick, anyone can do 360 hoptwists before 360 unispins, there should be 4 hops alloud if you cannot crankflip, and 2 hops alloud if you can crankflip, but cant hickflip and for all who can hickflip + should get no hops, we should be advanced enough to do stuff like seat drops, twists, and unispins to use no hops, so it is an actual competition, none of the same tricks in a row. one rev inbetween, and then depends on what you can do for hops.

so a 360 unispin, to a 180unispin, to a 360 hoptwist, to a 180 unispin without hops, is same as a beginner doing that who cant crankflip with 4 hops inbetween, how does that sound?

so what are we at now? or should I just go make up one.

stuff like body variels and stuff are alloud, if the unicycle/the person spin over 360 degrees its not alloud.

so since 180 was used 2 in skrobo's vid, how about we start off doing 180, 360 180, since skrobo's brother did that, just not in that order, that makes it leagal.

Tricks not alloud with 360 degrees total (body and unicycle spinning added together.:smallspins, and inward small spins
anything not having to do with spinning gets 2 hops like seat drops, or supermans or things like that.
k, well im going to go see what is done so far, then make one off of that.
are those rules ok?

Edit:I think these rules will really test people, definitly the advanced people.

[CKCrowe]

sorry, I did one thing wrong, you are alloud to unispin (180) 2ce, because it is harder to 360 unispin, or do tricks with the unibackwards, so you "can" unispin (180) 2ce, so its

180
180
360
seatdrop

[skrobo]

180
180
360
seatdrop
uhm
you cannot add unispins, if the seat is backwards, it is backwards.

[timbob1907]

sorry, I did one thing wrong, you are alloud to unispin (180) twice, because it is harder to 360 unispin, or do tricks with the unibackwards, so you "can" unispin (180) twice, so its

180 unispin
180 unispin
360 unispin
360
smallspin
180 unispin
Good job. I fixed it for you but no one will notice

[unicycledood]

Why don't you just stop talking about it and get out and film it.

[one-wheeled-bozz]

yea chris. lol

[timbob1907]

Sorry about the quality... but its youtube... kinda self explanitory.

Okay Brian got it: here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgKlYiX_r2M)

Its not me so complain to him about it if its "too hard". And the last trick you can take out if you are next and want to do something different. He put it in there cause its the next obvious trick and is kinda needed.

[torkerdx]

yeah know what you mean.
before doing mine i forgot what the line was. so i had to ask tim (who was filming)
what did you add?

[forrestunifreak]

damn i did it but i forgot the 360
i'll try film it again. thanks


Bummer, I was planning on going out and filming it right now.

It is hard to remember a long list like that, you almost need to write it down or something.

[The.Mars.Volta]

oh well lucky its a pretty easy combo.
i added a crankflip, but now i have to film the whole thing again.
probably this afternoon.

[forrestunifreak]

i hate you guys.
no not really but you pwned me with the crank flip. though i could probably get a big spin.
might try today or tomorrow depending on when i have time
if someone else wants to go, go because i am not sure i can get a crankflip

[agentQ]

Wish my ankle would heal already, gonna have a big list by the time I can ride again. Hahaha

well, technically you could do a rev and a no footer... if we play by their rules...

[foforackard]

great job forrest! when did you learn flips?

[torkerdx]

well, technically you could do a rev and a no footer... if we play by their rules...
which are?

[forrestunifreak]

great job forrest! when did you learn flips?

Haha I've kinda been able to do them for a long time, but just recently that I took the time to learn them properly....



Come on, somebody has to do be able to do this, bigspins aren't that hard. They are much easier then crankflips. :p
And I didn't even know there was rules.....

[Spencer Hochberg]

I will probably add something after naucc.

Here is the clip: Video (http://www.unicyclist.com/index.php?page=gallery&g2_itemId=553517)

The smallspin was sloppy and I didn't like the number of hops I did in some spots, but other than that I think its fine.

Dang I wish I could be there with you guys this time....

[The.Mars.Volta]

that was good skate for flip, but that was certainly not a smallspin. it was a unispin with a little spin. sorry. but play on. i quit. i get too tired doing triks in a row, plus i cant bigspin or the sib b.v.
