I thought what better thing to do with some "Idle time", than to learn coker idling! Also 1 foot riding and a tad of hopping- all on my 36er. (Plus it gave me an excuse to use a favorite Bob Marly song!) :cool:

But yeah, idling on a 36er is really tricky to get down!

Another great video, awesome idling Terry.

Just don't let that last piece of the clip get out of the unicycle community, it will set back unicycling as a serious sport. I know that took skill, but that is the silliest looking thing I've ever seen done on any wheel(s). :D

It started with me mounting like that so I could reach down and pull the frame up and ride away, but I wasn't able to do it, so I just hopped away lol!:p

Excellent video Terry !! Really laughed at the ending :DThanks yeah I may never live that part down!:o

Haha what was that at the end? I want to try it, maybe down some drops hahaA failed attempt at trying to pick up the frame and ride away haha!

AWEsome Vid Terry, especially liked the randomness in the tire grabs; heck the whole vid was an Awesome piece of random :cool:You have that right! It was totally random I just had a thought to go out and do it with no real prep. Stuck my camera on a tripod and shot it quick.:D

I think you are sick Terry, there was no peace sign in the video! Some one who lives by you should see if you look okay!

I'm going to try it again on my 36er but I won't quit 'till I pick up the frame and ride away lol! And I'm also working on the thing where you hop off the uni 180 and land back on the other direction. Not sure what that's called. I think it's like a small spin but with out spinning the uni at all.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
However many there are holes in your hub, most likely 36 + a couple extra in case you mess one up.


Sweet vid.
Do the 180 when in the seat drag possition. I think a guy did that on a freestyle in U2.
