I've had my HD camcorder for a while now, but it was only today that I tried the 24p cine-mode. It's just awesome and the quality is very film-like! It's also the first time I used it for some UCC filming; every one of my previous (13) UCC vids were shot with my digital still cam.

It also shoots in HD, but it's just not close to the quality of my true HD camcorder. Hope you enjoy it as much as Morty enjoyed his oatmeal (At the end, haha). :D

YouTube- Cinemax! (Mountain Unicyling in HI Def)

That edge drop off at the 44 second mark looks very Kris Holm video worthy. You should have showed that to the Asian fellow so that he could have been even more very afraid.

Good for Morty that he eats his oatmeal.

I wanted to post this reply from a non-rider who saw this video in another forum. I think it's *exactly* the kind of reaction we all hope for in terms of changing some of the most common stereotyped concepts of unicycling:

unigeezer: When I saw the thread mentioning mountain bike unicycle I thought "how foolish can this be?"

Then I watched it. It was amazing. I had no idea how able a rider could be on rough terrain. I almost think in some tight spots a uni might have advantages. I didn't think a rider could drop off rocks and do the stuff I watched on the video. And he [you] wasn't wearing a clown suit! I feel bad for making an earlier crack about unis needing another wheel.

Overall I was more impressed with this one bit of uni video than all the regular bike footage I've ever seen. You just looked natural and very able among the rocks.

It was not what I expected. And I like the cat too. I'm a cat person.

P.S. Now I can't tease uni-folk anymore now that I've seen one and been blown away. Have to go round up my recumbent friends for laughs.

(I will reply to the direct posts to this video when I get back from the doctor. :) )

johnThanks John. I've been so used to my little digital (http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665775604) for shooting hd video, since it's so small and easy to carry. The hd quality is pretty decent, but the focus goes in & out and sony told me there's nothing I can do about it. They said, "the video mode is really not the main feature".

That to me seemed like an admission of the internal defects of that camera. Very disappointing. :( From now on though, I'll be using my full hd camcorder. The difference is like night & day. :)

Nice riding man. Asian dude was funny!:DThanks, yeah he was funny and so amazed he just stood there for like 10 minutes speechless, lol! I edited it down a lot! :p

Good for Morty that he eats his oatmeal.He might have had a coronary, so it's a good thing he didn't see it haha!

I already told you on youtube, but great vid man.Thanks Matt! :D

Wow, very cool video! I really liked the part with the cliff :P.Thanks Ben. Well, today I wasn't as lucky and fell down a 100ft sheer embankment, just off the trail! Luckily it was smooth and I didn't hit any rocks on the way down. As I was careening down, out of control, I turned onto my stomach with both arms outstretched, in an attempt to latch onto something-- *anything*--to slow me down. No luck! It took me 20 min to climb back out! Btw, The actual start of the fall is on video! :o

keep it up!Thanks Jim. I really like this camera and I am doing my best to keep things interesting. :D
