lmao... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.. sry kid but the point was : to my opinion (yea its rude but u pushed me to it). Your riding isnt good. And Im sure that if I read somewhere someone problys says something like oh hes probly one of the best and then that makes everyone think that unicycling is OH SO EASY witch does give a BAD image to the sport. I want more people to get into unicycling and yeah sure maybe some of them will eventually get better then me but SO WHAT that pushes me to get better. Thats whats to great about this sport is that u get pushed so hard to get better cauz this community is so tight. Example last night I did a 10 stair handrail cauz I got pushed my follow unicyclists to try it. If I was a skateboarder it woudnt have happend cauz I woudnt know any pros that woulda pushed me. So before u go assuming shit like that STFU AND ASK ME BEFORE U SAY THAT KINDA STUFF.

yeah, when we had that feedback thing i got bad feedback for saying a video sucked. this video sucks worse. dont even post stuff like that if it sucks that bad. incase you didnt notice the only thing the myspace people even said is "damn that must hurt your junk". your not giving anybody a good image your just posting a shitty video. dont bother next time. plus myspace is retarted, it clogs the internet just like every other piece of shit 'blogging' site.

no man honnestly STFU. I dint even dise u riding when I came here frick, I said it shoudnt be there and im sure EVERYONE agrees. Your riding is good for a beginner yes but usually for someone to get all the fame and the 80 000 ppl watching there vid they gotta work for it and someone who does work alot on there riding wont ride like u do and thats a FACT. You gotta work for what you earn and thats WHY I said ur vid shoudnt be there dude its common sence. Someone who is rich will have worked for it unless he won the lottery or some shit. So plz buddy PLZ stfu. ALSO DONT MAKE A THREAD WITH A VIDEO IN IT IF UR NOT READY TO TAKE PPLS OPINION. THATS THE BIGGEST DAMN PROBLEM ON THIS FORUM.

hehe, I'm only pulling your leg. What you did was cool. Now a whole bunch of people see that there is possibly more to unicycling than just riding around and juggling clubs. You said that some are asking where they can purchase unicycles, so you have personally helped the sport grow. Good job!

To all you criticists out there: Skrobo showed 80,000 people that jumping on tables is possible with a unicycle. What have you done?

I agree with max on some level, it would be better to show the public the top riders in a well edited video, in a place that the public can realate to, Such as defect or OWA.

Sure the video he posted wasnt too crash hot, but hey he's doing better than i can do.

I dont think that what he did actually made people think worse of unicycling? It wasnt bad for unicycling in general, if anything it was great. Sure a better video could have been posted and sure it would have been watched more and sure more people would be interested in unicycling, but posting that video didnt make it any worse for unicycling in general, it was a step forward.

Any coverage of "extreme" unicycling is a step forward considering that most non-riders think unicycling is for clowns!

Rock on!

Apparently you have no idea what the image of unicycling is to non-riders. Not just the skaters or other passers-by who make comments, but to the world in general. A video of entry-level unicycling, if it's stuff people haven't seen before, is good press for unicycling. Sorry, that's a fact. How it can possibly take away from you or the (non-existant) public image of "good" unicycling is beyond me.

So Maxis, Evan, Skrobo and Mike_Foote, apparently growing up doesn't happen overnight but you really should start working on it.

A lot of people Ive seen commenting are saying "give me a pack of beer and I could do that" or, "anyone can do that" are obviously the ones that have never tried to unicycle, the ones that are saying its kool, then they realize how hard it is, for unicycling, to learn, and to be able to do that, even though its a rather easy trials line. Then theres the people that are saying its gay, and you have no balls, those are the ones that have never tried it, or tried it but gave up, and are to stuck in themselves to see that other people do different things and we all cant be as "sool" as they are.

Thats kinda how I think of it, but there are many more reason and what not, I just said the main ones, but this video is a great help, it just showed 80+ (or is it 90+?) thousand people that you can jump on tables on a unicycle, I bet most of them are looking up more videos and seeing trailers from defect and universe, more are even wanting a unicycle, this video is definitely a step forwards, even if its a small step, its a step none-the-less.

Now, for everyone bashing on skrobo, you can make your own video, that shows harder more technical stuff, and get it on the featured video of myspace, so 100s of thousands of people can watch it and really see what can be done, but if your not gonna do that, then I suggest not ranting about it anymore.

As for me, Ill hopefully be getting a digital camera this summer, for my birthday, so I can start making unicycling vids, mainly trials, and start posting them on sites. one month and 12 days away =p
