  1. Hey everyone, I have a proposition for you

    The latest in Unicycling DVD's, completely unique from anything released
    so far, 'Training Wheel Not Required', will be completed by end Oct.

    Due to financial constraints, I will not be able to release it until
    early Feb...unless......

    If I can pre-sell 100 copies, I will be able to afford a begininning of
    December release, in order to be shipped and recieved by Christmas.

    The cost will be $18us, or $23can (your choice, currency will fluctuate)
    (plus shipping) with an optional $5can ($4us) donation to the London
    Unicycling Club. (to be used for spare uni's, club t-shirts and
    equipment, winter gym rental, local public unicycle awarenss, etc...)

    If you are in a club, or otherwise affiliated Unicycle Associaction, I
    will be offering wholesale prices on bulk orders (to be handled on a
    one-on-one basis)

    Please reply here, or email me, if you are interested in pre-ordering a
    copy, (money will be refunded 100% in the highly unlikely event
    something will prevent it's release)

    I will be accepting Paypal and Money Orders currently, to be expanded
    into Credit Card orders by roughly January.

    This DVD will have a 30+ min main feature, and special features of 20+
    mins. This will be a completely professional product, not just a
    'homemade unicycling DVD'

    I have previewed the material I have so far to many people who not only
    enjoyed the riding, the music, and the entire experience, but who were
    also looking for more than 'unicycle [censored]', and are completely satisfied
    in that respect.

    I am working with a local band, 'Grassy Knoll and the Magic Bullit' who
    has just released a CD and may very well be the bench mark of what a uni
    DVD soundtrack should be.

    This movie is created for Unicycle Riders, by a Unicycle Rider who knows
    what he has been hoping to see in DVD's and has not yet been able
    to...until now.

    You won't be dissapointed!

    Please view trailer #2

    If you are interested in pre-ordering a copy, please post here or email
    your intent. Once I reach 100 requests, I will then post the go-ahead
    to send funds (with order info)

    My European, and other across the pond friends will enjoy a slightly
    reduced cost in order to adjust for the shipping (bulk orders only)

    Those who pre-order their copies will be entered in a draw for 1 of 10
    free DVD's (winners will get the DVD they ordered -for free-)

    Thank you for your support, I know you will find this a must have DVD
    for your collection!

    Nice try to sneak that in there... donations going to free merch for
    group members is a big no no. I'm surprised you even mentioned it.

    On that note I will happly get a copy of your video the next time I'm up
    in the great white north, no reason to pay shipping rates when you can
    smuggle them across the boarder.

    Donations will be put towards club expenses, 'free merch' is not the
    goal. The last set of jerseys cost me an arm and a leg of out of pocket
    expenses, all donations to the club will be going to the club, and are
    completely optional.

    Smuggling across the border, however, is dirty business.

  4. I'll sign up. I'll also recommend that more people do so.

    Brian showed us a few of the segments at East Coast Muni Weekend. They
    were well edited and full of exciting riding. And it was stuff I could
    actually try! There were big moves, don't get me wrong, but there was
    more of a vibe of watching unicyclists in action, not professional
    athletes. Hard to describe but a good thing.

  11. I'll take one. A quick question. When do you want us to send the
    cashola. I can send the money now or later, whichever you prefer. Also
    when are tenative release dates(best and worst case scenarios). Oh
    Aaaaaand what is the cost of shipping. Will you be basing it off of
    location, or is there a set rate for Americans and Canuks.

    You can email your address to me at: Catboy(at)gmail(dot)com

  13. Thanks so far everyone, I am up to 19 already!

    I emailed the dvd production guys, and their response to my question of
    when is the latest I can submit my project to them in order to have it
    shipped (to the end viewer) for christmas, he said the beginning of
    November...which will be no problem on my end. (I will be picking them
    up in Toronto, avoiding one

    Please do not send me the money until I know I can get enough interest
    ($) to get it produced early, I will post when 100 copies have been
    pre-ordered (although knowing me, I'm sure once I get to 80 or so,
    that'll be good enough for me!)

    I will weigh a dvd as it will be sent, and be able to use online postal
    service forms to determine the cost based on destination.

    I will be able to provide a rough estimate of shipping costs shortly

  15. small error in the trailer brian, our group name is "Single Wheeled
    Attack Team" not "Single Wheel Attack Team"

    By the way, the trailer was THE BEST THING EVER.

    Really good music choice. I'll have to pick up that album (along with
    your video :p )

    (they have a few others out, but are not studio quality)

    I can include the cd for $10can with your order if you want

    Sorry for the SWAT mishap, I will change that very soon
