Here we go. Not really any rules in here because there is not a contest going on. Just come in here have a little chit, little chat watch some nice gaps and have a good time. I'm a bit tired of people making threads to talk about gaps and what they have done recently. Mainly skrobo bragging in all the thread so he can come in here and brag:). (He should like this since it will give him a big ego boost! Now we can keep him in here bragging all day and not every other thread on this site:p) So yeah just post some vids, get some tips and have a good time. Also, Rate That Gap! (RTG)
Have fun,
-That man in the sky, god
To get it started (http://s55.photobucket.com/player.swf?refURL=http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g143/Skroboskim/%3faction=view¤t=ghettogap.flv/&file=http://vid55.photobucket.com/albums/g143/Skroboskim/ghettogap.flv&fs=1&os=1&ap=1).... That retard took my vid and said it was him after I sent it to him through email like a week ago... What a loser...

Anyways, I guess ill participate in this thread. Skrobo, your gap, It would be better if you filmed during the day, with a friend holding the camera around head or higher than head height, angled down to capture the full section of concrete. Be easier to judge the width that way.

thats pretty cool, I havn't seen many people jumping off of ramps, much less gapping to another one a good distance apart, I'll give it a 7, only because you look a little uncomfortable in the air.

He looks fine to me. What type of things do you look for that make people look comfie?
Jerrick
2007-09-26, 06:51 PM
From the looks of it, he hit the ramp like you would in Muni, and just rolled it, so im pretty sure its just his speed and the lip of the ramp that gave him that air, and hitting something at a random pedal position usually make you look about how he does. I think its fine.
I think he jumped. If you look at how the ramp is angled and how high he is, you'll see that he'd need some vertical boost to get there. That's what I think anyway.
And what I think is right, except for when it's wrong, which is never, except for those odd times, which never happen, but only occasionally...

I rolled up to it real fast and i did a little kick of the pedals at the top of the ramp aswell. I loved that jump.:)

No, but a fucking moron by birth is not something somebody can control, so no reason to rub it in. Although this douche is worse than actual mentally impaired people. They normally are really nice/cool people once you get to know them.(FROM MY EXPERIENCES) I don't think I could say the same for this fucking shit face.

Why wait, use movie maker right now until you have something better.
Also, because you are able to make that post, you could also download any program you want, adobe, vegas, etc....
You don't even need a high end computer to do it with. A lot of time I am using adobe premiere pro 2 on a comp with 700Mhz processor, and about 512mb of ram. Works perfectly.

It isn't the most technical or biggest of gaps, but the picture quality is really nice, and it also looks like the tire grab, you are actually grabbing the tire fully, not just tapping it like I see in a lot of videos.
For that, I say 8.5/10.

Rate my gap. I haven't got a pic or a vid, but I can describe it.
Basically, I did it with a rolling hop, it was from here and all the way to down there, no there, see? Yeah, there! I did it really cleanly and tied my shoelace in the air. With my teeth. Oh and I was making eyes with that cute girl on the side of the gap too. We hit it on after I landed.

Its hard to say, the park looked pretty cool...but thats all I could see from that one pic. Anyway I would just try 13 pallets next time, and maybe throw a 180 tire grab in there. Yeah that would be sickening. Looked good though:)

if that is to the ledge, that is a pretty huge gap... i give it a 9 if thats what you're doing , and a 6 if you are jumping to the ground.

Are you retarded? If so I would feel bad for calling you a fucking moron if not I feel just fine about it.
im not saying i have been here a long time, or a high post count but i know that being an internet tough guy who insults people on a family forum isn't the best way to make friends
just... just leave...
on a positive noteLess chat, more gap.
goats gap is pretty wicked, i don't think i could hop that far even without having to jump over a log whilst tyre-grabbing
i would say and easy 8 from most (if not, all) people on unicyclist.com
eddbmxdude's grab over the bench was real good too: 8 because of tyregrab (i cant do any of this, alls i can do is jump, better go practise)

thats a SOLID gap, how far is it? 6-8 feet?
Measured it, and its pretty much 8 feet.

Hugo- that is a huge gap you pulled in that vid. nice one 8.5/10. Your score would be even higher if it was over something a little more intimidating than a flower bed (pool of crocodiles?)

EDIT: i saw the video... thats insane, how do you get the courage to get up and try it again, and what sisze cranks do you have to get that kind of speed. you do such big gaps, im very impressed, good luck with doing more!!

thanks!
the cranks are 137s ... the standard on the KH, the speed is from doing gaps constantly.
getting up and doing it again was easy. i convinced myself the only reason i fell is that boards were covering a small ditch and they kept breaking. So i would re arrange them in a stronger way and do it again.

I'll give it a 9.99 I guess, it's a crazy gap but really, it's just as much drop as it is gap.... How high do you end up dropping anyway? It looks pretty high because of the truck, but then it
s hard to tell how high the truck really is...
skrobo
2007-11-04, 03:49 PM
the truck is like 6 feet high, there is a slight downhill that makes it about 7 feet where i land, and measured on the incline it's just over 13 feet horizontally to the landing point. i jumped up too, so there is really no telling how far down it was from the highest point.

I would be to. It looks like a very nice truck.
That gap is one of the most impressive ive seen. I think it would have looked so much better if you had landed on the pavement though.

that was very good. was that u? it probly was since the unicycle in ur pic and in the vid look similar. haha my record for jumping stairs on FEET is a 12 stair. i think my 12 stair mightve been slightly bigger but im not sure, but ne ways good job jumpin 12s takes sum guts and skill on a uni. u should have given us maybe a side view o the 12 set or sumtin. what were the dimensions? ne ways, from what i c in the vid id give approx 9.5/10.

mmh..
-1 cause no helmet ;)
-0.5 cause landing on sand (even if its not that much as you can rollout at the end...)
+11.5 cause i liked the bails and cause you succeeded in the end and you didnt capitulated :)
all in all
10/10
thats a sweet stairset :)

wow, i'll give that a 8

there are more bails in that video ... it was annoying...

yes i am calling myself stupid... slightly... if i miss a stairset in that way, i go do a smaller one and come back to it later when i have more confidence. i don't like messing up big sets, that is how ppl get hurt :/
as far as the bails go, pick the highlights and make those build up to the gap.

I would take away points because he likes to use music used in other uni movies, not just that one but others that he uploaded too. I think that's annoying, people should use different music.
The set is big though.

id say this is probably b/c after people whatch a video over and over again they become attached with the music. theres been so many unicycle videos that the first time i saw them i thought the song was either bad or ok but after watching several times i started craving listening to that song lol.

Niklaa- that looks huge but i cant tell if your aiming to hit the round cable roll thing, the stack of pallets or just the pallets on the ground? How do you find riding with a full face helmet? Do you have a video of you doing it- i'm sure everyone here would love to see it,

Heres (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWr4CBRxaxE) the vid its from, the gap is at about 3:06. Its a gap to the palets behind the cable drum landing it on the crank. He isnt wearing a full face helmet, although it does look like it. I think its just an ordanary bike helmet.
