New Fliptrick - Blind Treyflip

[unifreak7]

Actually both those links Spencer advertised something else. Kinda makes them pointless. First one was saying Jerad Glatt landing the Dub flip (at the time people were curious to whom was landing that trick, reasonable then), the hickdouble was a side item (side keep that in mind man, since this thread has one point to it). Second thread also more of an advertisement to the Maps Pilf video. (Put your best point against me, I guess I was a newbie back then)

This is way i'm upset.
I held Luke as a good rider in my mind, He was up there. But what he did here is a newbie movie (no insult to newbies). When riders get good they keep there new tricks secret until they can release it in a video to entertain, SURPRISE, and impress. (That's what should happen) What Luke did was sad, he boasted a trick without footage (Footage makes it alittle better, but still make a video, you're good enough to get some footage in a few days). That way it makes you seem even better. Like "Hey, I invented a new trick, but no big, i'll do an entire film before I release it since I'm that chill about my skill." And not VAIN about one's skill. Am I vain about my skill? Maybe, I think I suck over here, and my consistence is no where it should be.

I'm pissed since he's good enough to put out a film for all to enjoy, not boast up one trick. I thought he was just better than that. I feel used.

p.s. At the beginning of this thread someone spelt my name "sean", I thought it was funny. I know he did that to try to make me mad, I call them subtle insults, ways of feeling bigger and better than someone without actually putting them down. I know you know how to spell my name, everyone will agree it's everywhere where I post. I see through that my friend. (Look I did it in this p.s. Since I didn't take the time to actually find out who did it, insulting him, since it's not worth my time )

I am not trying to make you look bad, I just thought those threads were similar. Even if you didn't make that doubleflip thread only to say you landed the hickdouble, you still announced it without footage and isn't that partially why you are pissed now?

I don't think you should be pissed because Luke wanted to tell people he learned something new. It is not like he is able to make a big movie like you to show all his new stuff all at once because he doesn't have a camera.

A lot of people ride for fun and aren't always working on making vids, I like to know what people are up to even if they aren't filming everything they do for a big movie.

No vid no care.

Us unicyclists are all we got, I get enough verbal negativity from non riders during the day. I don't want to have to see it amongst our niche group >_> Besides unicyclists arguing over who did what first is sorta like ...clowns beating eachother with nerf bats =D

well said my man

[edsbelly]

Luke.

Look what you've done. You're a terrible person and I hate you.


..



But not really.

Can't wait 'til we ride again.

I miss you.. lol

Ed!

Oh and well done with the blind trey.

[pete66]

Shaun, take a deep breath, this isn't attack, just an opinion. You do too much talking and not enough listening. He doesn't have a camera so he can't post vids. You've created something out of nothing here with your judgemental bullsh*t (again).

Luke mentioned a new and amazing trick he's just landed and now you talk about him like "he used to be a good rider". What the hell? This thread was fine until you came along, it was the ONLY one I clicked on in the entire list because it was the ONLY one I was interested in.

"When riders get good they keep there new tricks secret until they can release it in a video"

That's definitely not a rule and I suggest you put that fantasy to rest.

And another thing, people call you "Sean" to mess with you? How is it that you don't notice your own weird spelling? You spelt jealous, like "jeleous"... wtf, does that look ok to you? And look at how you use "there".
***************************
Patronizing lesson 101:

"there" = "look over there, some unicyclists".

"their" = "their skills are good" (understand, their = belong to them)

the other ones to remember:

they're and there's. Short for "they are" and "there is".

Their skills are good, if they keep getting better there's almost no doubt; they're gonna win when they go over there to Unicon.
***************************

Yeah. But really, I think Shaun should probably apologise for what he's said coz it's not really called for. Luke doesn't deserve to be in your bad books because he said 5 words... it's not like he was screaming at a camera and running around celebrating... coz that could be misunderstood as arrogant and excitable, right?

[francisco]

congrats to luke!!

I`m ALWAYS glad to read someone landed a new trick. Luke must have felt really good for landing it and wanted to post right on time. good for him!!

ROCK ON LUKE!!

[johnathon_smith2]

cranky suan johenson needs to settle down.

well done luke, looking forward to seeing the trick.

Pete66, you forget AGAIN, informal thread. I care not 4 my speling eye use. Git it? I won't apologize. I know where i'm coming from, and I really thought this sport was farther (actually it's further, wanna know why?) along then (actually it's than) it is. You can like me or not, I think I may (you can also you might) be the only unicyclists with an attitude in the world. I like riders with an attitude, gives them more style (Keaton Miller has an attitude about this too, but he doesn't post.) Laters. It's not even about the trick anymore, it's about the boast nature I thought Luke was past.

in what sense do you affirme that hiding the tricks for a late big video that should wow everybody out is having attitude an not doing it is not having?

unless you intent to sell those videos, then you would have a commercial attitude, I don`t see why you are so edgy on this.

you are a great rider man. don`t need to worry about that. there are (thank god) other great riders all around. we`re all evolving the thing, no matter how "newbie" or not "attitudeish" we are.

chill there... you sound like a bitter jelous kido...

take it easy shaun... you are a great rider... and are acting like a newbie right now beeing pissed because he landed something..

pro riders dont need to get envolved with little things like this.

[nickvb123]

this is the worst thread i have ever seen.


luke lands a trick wants and wants us to know. So why the big fucking argument. Its actually pathetic.

Its not like he would come on the internet and lie, just to claim he is the first person to land a trick, so he has rights to it or some lame shit like that.

why would one of the best, if not the best, street unicyclist who ever lived be jealous of a 15 year old nobody

WTF does that mean. Have you learnt nothing from unicycling you fuckwit? Being a good unicyclist means shit all outside of a select minority. You think all the 'pros' think they are gods or something? No, they dont, they tend to belong with the rest of us sharing a common interest, trying to encourage it not seperate themselves from us. Its called humility.

Humility is the state of being humble. A humble person is generally thought to be unpretentious and modest: someone who does not think that he or she is better or more important than others.

You are calling Luke a nobody. Maybe he is, but so are you and I. So are ALL of us. Fostering respect amidst the unicycling community is one thing, translating this to the real world and you get nothing.

I'm just sick of how a lot of unicyclists treat me

What your finally getting sick of early teens unnecessarily idolising you?

and btw, 'best street unicyclist who ever lived' do u know any street unicyclists that are dead yet

When riders get good they keep there new tricks secret until they can release it in a video to entertain, SURPRISE, and impress

there are plenty of excellent riders that dont release regular videos every second day

i got laughed at pretty bad today by a bunch of 20 yr old guys. First time i'd rode for a few weeks. There are more than enough dicks in the world without people acting like them on here.

Theres already enough problems associated with unicycling without people creating new ones.

Everyone likes to receive recognition from peers, especially when you put alot of effort into something why make things turn so ugly


Futile banter i say.

Peace.

[unifreak7]

Hey guy, you have no idea how people treat me. And um, I never said I was the best unicyclists that ever lived. Um. wow, it's really annoying when people put words into your mouth (typing wise). I didn't expect anyone to see where I was coming from that's fine. I don't really care. I also don't think I'm a good unicyclists, I know I have more skill than a lot of riders, but that still by no means makes me good. I can't flip to big set rails, I can't backslide rails, flip variation sets bigger than weak 5's. I can't bust treyflips to slick techgrinds. I have NO switch tricks expect the switchflip, I have only 2-3 blind tricks. My manny pad flow only comes through after 20 minutes of practicing the run, this makes me a horrible rider. I should be much better getting into the swing of things. To me, i'll never be a good rider. But that's my life, always in competition and never being good enough. You see me in my vids, or how I act, not me my friends. Don't judge me on my acting. (Most are inside jokes, or for humor to certain people -friends- that may get it -also known as an inside joke, buy in this case it's humor they get, not a joke only they'll get-)
