i just found two more places for free pallets

. does anybody have any ideas on more stuff i should build. i want to expand my park but i dont know what to build.

Jerrick · 2007-10-13, 06:09 PM

skinny low stuff, skinny high stuff, skinny stuff angled in every directions, and make odd stacks of pallets that make it hard to land or even use them. That will spice it up a bit.

I don't know guys, but I have a weird problem. I switched out my Animal Hamilton pedals and put some Plastic Lx pedals on. And since then I've been able to improve my hop height a lot. I could only do 65cm on a good day and now with plastics I can do like 70cm every time. It also makes my uni (Qu-ax Trials) feel a ton lighter and seems easier to do everything. What's wrong with me? Can anyone explain this? Thanks in Advance

the placebo effect, you expect an improvement so you got one.

I wasn't expecting it, I did it to help getting c rankflips better and do be more shin friendly cause I wiped out on my bike and scraped myself up and didn't want to hurt my scrapes and my knee wound rubbed on my 661s. That's why I put the pedals on till it healed. But now I haven't taken them off lol.

at some point in your riding you obviously thought. 'this feels so light, and makes everything easier"

Maybe, I don't know. I'm glad that I did if I thought that.

Well, metal pedals are heavy, and one of the best ways to reduce your unicycle weight is to change the pedals.

So now your uni feels lighter, you have less weight to lift up, making the unicycle easier to tuck with, and also cause it feels and reacts better, you just feel better riding it, giving you better results.

so what are the advantages of metal pedals over strong and grippy plastic pedals?

Metal pedals probably last longer.

No probably about it... they are HEAPS stronger and wont get smashed up any where near as easy.

For pure trials metals pins last long and feel more stable, that is just my take on it. I can git higher with my heaviest jackshits than with pc's.
