yeah, i really wanted to wear a helmet on the truck gap, but i forgot it at home and that house was about 45 mins away... and that was the only chance i had to do it. i'm just making excuses, but i really do think that wearing a helmet is a good idea.

You can do all of that on a bike. lol Bikes usually go bigger too.

Like I said in MR, sweet video.

wow you have abnormal jumping skills. I just feel bad for your uni and anything else that may get squished in the landing such as you. Nice video.

I think he meant you personally, Jerrick.

I mean you wouldnt jump down 11 stairs on a bike. And on further inspection you could do that on a bike.

But anyway, it is amazing.

Yes, but jumping a truck is slicker.

Great vid... whenever i see your gaps, it inspires me to go ride and try to hit a gap.. I suck at rolling hops like you wouldn't believe.. my personal record is 4 1/2'.

any advice for a newb? other than practicing, which i do every day, are there any techniques you use?

I ride up as fast as i can leaning forward, and once i start to jump, I even myself out by leaning backward a little bit. Is there a better strategie?

what kind of uni do you have?

You need some pads.

That would be cool and I'd definately buy it, but w/ so many people posting stuff for free, I think it would be hard to break even, never mind making a small profit, considering the huge costs of comercializing a DVD:o

From what I know all he is extra good at is gaps/ rolling hops. Still he owns them.

Skrobo!

You are an inspiration! You should be sponsored and featured in future commercial unicycling videos. That truck gap was as big as anything on "defect"!

I personally enjoy reading all of your threads. They are so chock full of invaluble info and advice!
