thanks for the comments guys, i know i should of had a helmet on cos man i felt that for a good 5 hours and had a decent lump for days :P. the camera is a canon powershot S5 IS, not a bad camera but the editing with windows movie maker and compressing for vimeo makes it look dodgey :P the original movie is heaps clearer.

I really enjoyed this vid.

That was a really cool vid. It has a nice length to it. That sucks about your frame snapping at the crown :( and your head getting hit :( but good work on everything else!

Thanks guys, :D glad everyone liked it. they are white eastern plastics, however i broke them jumping over the 3 crates :( so now i have the twisted oddyseys that came with the new uni. sucked when my frame broke for sure! cost me heaps for the new one :O far out but totally worth it. the in to in stuff takes a lot of persistence to learn :P for me anyways, i have 360's and inward varials down pat now, but full varials and fakie stuff is still way hard to land.

Great video!
How did you break your frame?? It seemed like a harmless fall.
I liked the one foot where you glided a rev or two. I'll have to try that.
Nicely filmed, edited, music, and tricks. Its all good.

thanks mate, i think that the frame was just fatigue plus i tried to straighten my seat without loosening it 10 mins before it broke lol maybe that didnt help. how do you mean the 1 foot where i glided a rev or two? you mean before i broke the frame when i coasted a rev or two? :P

re frame
I dunno...it shouldnt break from straightening the seat. Must've had a crack from something else? Hopefully you ended up getting a better unicycle anyway.
The 1 foot/coasting I liked is around 4 min.
Probably not your most technical, but its seems interesting and doable. Maybe.

yeah its one foot on the frame and one in the air, but it looks like it goes on the tire.. :P i should put both feet up onto the frame or put the other one out way wider for balance but im too scared i'll die :P
