The Next Long Island Muni Ride And A Whole Lot More! Saturday 4/1/06
After recovering quickly from a broken knee cap (due to SixSixOnes looking better than they work)
 we are ready to Muni on Long Island again.When: Saturday, April 1st, 2006 Where: 36 Long Ridge Road Plainview, N.Y. 11803 Time: 9:30a.m. - 10:00 Bagels, Coffee, Etc 10:00a.m. - ? Muni (Take a 5 minute car ride to the trail head) For part two of our ride, After the Muni section. We hit the unlimited trials lines at “Rock and Boulder city” anyone interested, we will stop to pick up a quick bite and head over for a scenic 25 minute ride to the south shore of Long Island for a rock and cement trials course like no other. (it‘s worth the ride.). While filming with Brian Mackenzie for his last movie in December it was confirmed that our latest Muni locations I have put together we’re just what everyone was looking for. From the Muni sections with log skinnies to log piles to root sections w/ switchbacks to “Rock and Cement City” for what Brian Maw and Jeff Prosa called “the best trials lines they’ve seen yet“. Whether you’re a beginner or and advanced rider 7yrs old or 60yrs old come on out for an awesome day of riding with a great bunch of unicyclists from different parts of the east and sometimes other parts of the country.

661's Let me down!
Quote:
Hey Steve, Mid January I was trying for some distance on my new custom 36” UW and I came down to one knee and my useless 661’s conveniently slipped down enough for me to crack my knee cap. You know me I do at least 1500+ miles a year on and off road. It’s not often I UPD and when I finally did and needed the 661’s to do their job they were Useless. There good for preventing shin burgers only. You might as well just wear shin guards if your wearing 661 4x4‘s. It’s only a matter of time. A lesson to any serious rider, unless your 661’s extend well over your knee cap and conform and fit snug to your leg GET DIFFERENT PADS or you will wind up just like me. “IT NEVER HAPPENS TO YOU TILL IT HAPPENS” The current 661’s aren’t made to fit the leg properly. Hey Steve, What type of knee/shins are you using? I noticed in pictures from our last ride that your knee pads look like there made to fit very well. We hope to see you at the next ride.

Looks like I will be able to make it back for the first weekend in May... (I will give Adam some UW36 lessons at that time) |

At this point my UW 36" makes for a great conversation piece.

 I was really starting to enjoy the ride. That was my first distance ride for the UW. I will post a video of the wheel in action at some point down the line. I am having problems downloading it.

I'll talk to her.
I'll dazzle her with my accent and throw in a couple of 'pops', 'kilometers', and 'chicken balls' and next thing you know, you'll be out riding it. That sure is purrrrdy!!! |

It figures!

All good things are hard to find! I'll start looking thanks for the info. I'm determined to find pads that will actually work. Especially before the official launch of Just One Wheel Inc when we will be liable for people under our supervision. Thanks again, Adam

if i was in the market for new pads, I would try these:
http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_d...=1139797249599 I'm not sure what the American equivelant to Mountain Equipment Co-op is, but these guys sell all sorts of outdoorsy stuff, and their own name brand stuff. If I am looking for something, especially cycling related, this is ALWAYS my first stop I haven't heard any reviews of them, but they looked shaped just like my KH pads (give or take) and mine do not slide down a bit...when these pads go, I will be ordering a set from MEC to replace them (You need a membership to shop here though) (It's a one time fee of $5cdn...that's approx $0.02US) Last edited by Brian MacKenzie; 2006-02-13 at 02:25 AM. |

Damn, Renie takes such good pictures. I really like "Rock Garden 061R.jpg". And she even prints them out on the computer and by the end of the ride, you are carrying home a set of pics! Thanks Renie!
Unfortunately I won't be able to make it out for this ride as I will be in Orlando, but I look forward to the next one Adam. That trials playground you found is sweet. I can spend a few days of riding at just that one spot  Adam I too am coming off an injury and it sucks. I sprained my right ankle at Motorama and wasn't able to walk on it for more than a week. I have to start wearing Active Ankles now for awhile to prevent reinjury. Have fun guys!
