I have to agree. Great videos. One of my staff was looking over my shoulder when you fell after riding backward over the 1 1/2" skinnie. She says, "Look, falling on something simple like that!" She just doesn't understand.

Again, great videos. BTW, where are the videos of your flying suicide mounts. Thanks, --chirokid--

Robbie,
Are you sure you're combining rolling out with the other points mentioned?

U-Turn,
Actually that was meant to just be a really quick into to what's being covered and wasn't meant to help much at all in learning to drop. So do you think people would benefit from seeing a few different slow-motion (or normla speed?) drops as examples? Thanks.

Chirokid,
Thanks. As I said, I only recently decided to put all of the DVD including the extras up in the album so I haven't gotten around to uploading the suicide mount one. I will soon. Come to think of it, I may have already done it in the 'albuu61' album.

May I first say: Great riding! I just have part 6 downlaoded so far, but it's looking great! How much $$$ for the DVD?

I'm curious, do you ever go seat out? I noticed that all those rock gaps were seat in. Then again, there were some pretty slanty surfaces, so I guess seat out would've bgeen hard. Also, whatever gets you to land it, right?

I also would like to mention that I finally got around to going to rubber from pedal on top of my 2x4. It took me three tries, but now I have it down. Now I have to practice gapping out of it...

El Gerbel


P.S. I made it into a sig!!!! So what if it's for writing an oxymoron of a sentence, I made it.

I was worried that Part 6 would be a bit boring for people...but then again it's only short. I thought I'd put it in the movie though because it was so much fun. I love natural trials...there are so many different angles.

At this stage I only go seat out for high hops. I just don't feel like I have enough control when I land gaps and I haven't found that it helps me for gapping distance.

That's great that you made the pedal grab up to the 2x4 - and in only 3 tries! I'm really amazed...can't wait to see it on film.

I don't know how much the DVD will cost but not much more at all than the blank DVD and shipping costs. I've pretty much dropped the idea of making any sort of profit...that's not what it should be about. When it's finished I'll get quotes from the Post Office on shipping and let you know. I'll put it in a CD case so it'll be smaller. I'm not going to make it look all professional with a cover and that sort of thing...just write on it with a permanent marker.

Uhhhh... that's a good point. Maybe I should try all of them.

Thanks!

Giraffe mounting tutorial...

I had someone ask me to make a video of rolling mounting (or not quite rolling mounting but that's the most appropriate name I could think of) a giraffe. So I added step-up mounts and made a tutorial. It's at...

www.unicyclist.com/gallery/album112

Hop Twisting tutorial...

I've just filmed and made a hop twisting tutorial. I'm only up to 270 degrees but the points I made should apply to hop twisting of any level as long as it's from a stationary start. I'm put two versions (high and low quality) in my 'All Terrain' album right now - www.unicyclist.com/gallery/album112 .

I'm going to try to make a lot of these tutorials to go on the unicycling tips and tutorials site that Pete is making for me for a school assignment of his. If you have anything you'd like ot submit please let me know. It doesn't have ot be a video tutorial, it could just be text or images.

Thanks,
Andrew

Thanks. I've been really really busy lately and haven't been able to finish any more of the sections of the movie. Plus I'm sort of waiting to get permission from a musician but I don't know that that will happen at all. Not sure what I'll do for the rest of the sections needing music. Holidays are in about a month...then it'll be finished.

On a far more mundane level, I got a lot out of your static mount tutorial. I can see now why mine is so marginal - I've picked up a few very bad habits. I'm hopeful that in another session or two I can free myself from lamp posts and signs, though I've been drilling those bad habits pretty hard. It might take a little while but I know I'm going to get it now. Thanks!!

Cyberbellum, would you mind describing those bad habits? It might help
someone realise they have them too.

be sure to remove the saddle and simply sit on the seat post. this is far more comfortable - tennisgh22 on the comfort of Savage unis
