you would need soap shoes for that...

Haha, Pivot stickfigure animtator - good times with that program.

I'm currently working on a big pivot project for an animation class at school.


I may as well show it to you fellas - the finished product will be played with the song "Work" By Gangstarr. It goes with the music quite well i must say.

well, here it is so far. - Play it with the song work, and it looks even better.

At 00:39, you really have to appreciate that footplant unispin up the ledge. I mean, its basic, but mad creative.

Also, let me know what you guys think of my anim so far (the post above this one).

Woah thats amazing for a pivot animation ! Keep up the good work.The stickman looks like a real person when he jumps.

Hi guys, what is up.
I tried to go for a street ride yesterday with Kevin in Brisbane but it rained all day which sucked, I had great fun though.

ah lucky bastard.
here it rains im pretty sure around 70% of the time (year round, less in summer)
it doesnt snow that much though, we usually get around 3 snowy days a year.

Edit: yeah, i was born in san diego. I want to move there when i'm older, just because of the unicycle-friendly area and weather lol.

Love is definatly not the word I woulld use to best describe rain. I can never ride with plastics because they always get too wet and slippery. I havnt been able to glide or do any type of ww since well before christmas because of the pesistant rain. most days I cant go out riding without geting drenched and now my pedals make a realy anoying noise because they have got water in them, I hate the rain. I can put up with a day or two of wet but iys been soaking for weeks up on end, the roads havnt dried out in over a month, its so anoying, I hate it, make it go away.

If only i could. Seems like u should join me in moving to san diego lol. I just ride in a gym for my teams practices, but on non practice days i just back the car out of the garage and practice there. Only problem with this system is you start craving a good set or even a curb. Ive been wanting to give treys a go down 3s for weeks now and still havent found a day.

You missed Duguay (Hugo)

He's sooo close, he landed on the pedals several times but he was "ejected" ( ) because of the momentum, he said. I saw those tries, very damn close!

I'm also practicing them, I usually kick with the heel the cranks at 0.75 so I get a lot bigger snapping effect. Also, jump as high as you can, I'm also coming close to them, almost landed a 1.75 back (well, a doubleback because I start at 0.75 )

I also one time landed and then was ejected like Hugo. It was with 89mm cranks though, so im not sure if it counted since its much faster spinning.
