Fun video...it looked like you might have been hurting yourself a bit on those stair sets....

What song was that? I really, REALLY, didn't like it...they were probably the most awkward lyrics I've ever heard...the riding was still fun though.

benjaug · 2006-10-01, 02:37 AM

it was "The General" by Dispatch.. it said so in the lyrics... lol
I used it because I wanted to have the music be different from my other vids...
And yes, I will only say that I wasn't exactly standing high enough off of my seat on the stairs, lol

Cool vid, congrats on learning to ride.

benjaug · 2006-10-02, 01:22 PM

I didn't just learn how to ride...

Oh, I thought that was new footage.

Well, congrats on knowing how to ride at all.

benjaug · 2006-10-02, 07:36 PM

It was new footage... but I have been riding for a few months... thanks anyway!

A tip on the stairs...just ride straight at them, and ride full speed down them, as if they weren't there. It helps a lot.

And funny thing, I was just shooting hoops from my uni yesterday, for like the first time!

Nice vid.

Just out of curiosoty can you bunny hop?

benjaug · 2006-10-04, 09:19 PM

Umm... no, any tips on learning?

thejdw · 2006-10-05, 06:33 PM

If availble learn to ride a pogo stick first, then hold on to a wall with your cranks in horisontal and let go and try to pogo then try this wilst riding took me about 2 days to learn. It also helps if you have a handle.

benjaug · 2006-10-05, 08:36 PM

I have a handle and a pogo stick... so I am all set.
I will start this weekend!

Dont learn to hop on pogo stick to be able to hop on a uni.

Thats just gonna give you the reaction of pogo stick motion on a uni, which means your just gonna be bouncing a lot, which looks like craps and isnt good technique.

At first, be on your uni, and think of it like jumping on a pogo stick.

Theres a lot of guides written about jumping, search for them, and dont say you have, cause if you have and havent found anything, your not looking hard enough.

thejdw · 2006-10-06, 10:02 PM

Yeah but then you stop bouncing all the time and start jumping, worked 4 me

gordito8me · 2006-10-30, 01:54 AM

wow that's pretty impressive that you can almost ride down a few stairs but you can't hop yet. Either that's impressive or i just learned in a really screwy order. I learned to hop up and down each individual stair before i learned to ride straight down them. keep up the good work the next few months of unicycling will be great. and what kind of unicycle is that?
