Uni goals for the season?

Tom M · 2010-03-17, 02:32 AM

For the upcomming spring and summer, I want to get some trails under me each weekend when possible along with the needed Hop and drop skills.
I want to learn to Idle and ride with only one foot.
I will try to start learning how to ride backwards.

What are your Goals for the season (or year) comming?

Those are some excellent goals there Tom! One goal is to start riding through technical terrain *faster* and much more aggressively, which will also look more exciting on film. Other goals are to learn some basic flatland skills; crank flips, rolls and so on. My kh trials is just collecting dust so I really need to start using it as well as MUni. Also I want to get into rail grinds, even though it's scary to me...I don't fancy another tail bone injury, or worse!

Good luck with that race! Lots of prep and training in your future

Well it's going to be winter in this part of the world, but i'm going to try learn 720s and land lots of better roll combos :P
Maybe 360s on the wheel but i doubt it xD

Sweet! Maybe we can tack on 32 and do a combo age ride on the 13th

Improve my sidehop, standstills, skinny riding, rolling hops pretty much improve my trials.

stewSquared · 2010-03-17, 03:45 AM

I'll try to reach 'level 6' freestyle by May, when I'm getting a Nimbus X freestyle unicycle (maybe. I still need to do more research on it). I'll also take up Muni this summer (maybe I'll do a lot of that in college). That makes two new unicycles!

and $600 less dollars

kb1jki · 2010-03-20, 02:49 AM

I need to work on idling on both legs, Hopping, rolling hops, static mounts... tip of the ice berg, but a big help for Muni!

Unicycle Person · 2010-03-20, 05:33 PM

I think I have decided to work on wheel walking.
And now that I remember, I really have to learn how to juggle on my unicycle.
I'm good with a 3 ball cascade, but can't seem to get it on my unicycle. Just can't keep my balance while flailing my arms. I have managed to make a couple catches while slowly going forward, but my goal is to do it while idling and to make it look as easy as possible. Any tips or a link to a helpful post would be greatly appreciated.

magnustudios · 2010-03-20, 11:09 PM

hmm maybe break the 24-hr record or something.

New Goal!!!

I made the horrid mistake of buying and getting on a scale today. 207 buddah belly lbs. For some perspective at 25 years old I was 6' tall and weighed 150 very fit and very lean lbs. Until college I bounced around 160. College up to 215 (winner). Then down to 170 after college. Last 15 years ping ponging between 170 and 185. So 207 is not pretty.

I'm working on a spread sheet to track miles/speed/avgs along with a 5 day moving average of daily weight.

New goal above all else is to loose 30 lbs by my birthday on Nov 1st. That is a very doable 1 lb a week. 177 just nicks me into 'normal' BMI.

Secondary but just as important to me and my weight goal is to work up from my current 4 miles ride to a 54 mile ride on my birthday in 7 months.

Both of these goals will make the other one easier.
