Ouch. That had to smart. On the upside, your Uni found a safe place to land.

my 3 hour afternoon nap left me kind of restless
 Hey A_C, do you have a non-slow motion version for us?

If you in windows media play go to Play -> Play Speed -> Fast. At least it worked for me
 ANd you can make it even slower aswell, :P But ouch that looks kinda painful. Oh yeah and this is slightly off topic but it's good that http://www.unicycles.com.au is open. Nice to see an australian site there, shame you're in brisbane (is it?) thoguh. Oh well, I got 1 friend here who I can ride with.

HOLY COW, ANDREW!! Are you alright? It looks like a bright colored fluid squirting from your face at the end of that clip. I hope not. But, if so, better you than me.

Hey A_C, do you have a non-slow motion version for us?
I just made one then. Here it is - http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery/al...mpressed_2.avi . I had to go to a lot of trouble to make the little clip. As I've mentioned a few times, I can't transfer things properly from my camera to the computer until we get a new computer (very soon). What I have to do is capture it frame by frame meaning I have to keep manually stepping it forward so the computer can keep up. Otherwise it captures about 1 frame per second. So I ended up with a really long video. Then I had to split it up into the individual frames and save them as separate videos and piece them together with VirtualDub into one clip. Anyway, it's done now. Robbie, It's great to see another Australian here! Tell us a bit about yourself, what sort of riding are you into? Are you goiung to go to the next UniNats? Did you go to last year's UniNats? I know it's a long way to travel but are you interested in coming to the Australian MUni Weekend? A friend and I are organising it...it's here in Brisbane. Yes it's great the unicycles.com.au is finally up and running. I'm actually working for Gary (the owner) assembling unis and lacing wheels and so on. As for other riders in Perth, have a look here - http://www.unicycling.org/roster/ind...ntry=australia . I found you 4 more! Just do a little search for 'perth'. Plus there will be heaps more unicyclists than you think. I met two guys who unicycle at the trials competition yesterday. Nice to meet you. Andrew

Greg (I missed your post),
I'm fine, thanks. The bright red fluid came a little later...luckily from inside my nose. All I got was a little bit of skin off the nose and underneath it and a bruised nose...that and a good video. Strangely the bike trials riders seemed to respect me even more after the face plant.  Andrew

Thanks Andrew.
Now can you do one in reverse, 3/4 speed? And then.... (what a horrible process you have to go through!)
