  1. G'day everyone,

    I've seriously cut down on my unicycling lately, and although I plan to
    get out regularly on the muni, I don't feel like I have anything more
    to add to unicycletips.com .

    I guess realistically I didn't have anything more to add half a year or
    a year ago, but I thought it would be worth making it a little more
    'official' in the hope that somebody else might like to start making
    videos and writing tips. I actually don't have a working video camera
    anymore, which is probably a good thing...now I find myself riding for
    the sake of riding once again.

    So this is a kind of goodbye for me and an open invite for new
    contributors to the site.

    Peter, thanks so much for everything you've done and good luck with the
    site and with your riding.

    Cheers,
    Andrew

    (I may drop by occasionally from time to time, but unicycling is kind
    of taking a back seat these days)

    From the Kh 2007 unis, duh! Cause they are the 2007 model, the year
    most be 2007, because we idolize KHU and what they say, we believe. =p

    I am afraid I wouldnt be much help to the site, it has tons of info,
    but I would like to see more flatland and street stuff written up in
    their. I am a trials rider mainly and I dont have enough experience to
    write out good guides or make videos for the street and flatland
    stuff.

    I know there's a lot of you guys out there that can do a lot of the
    street/flatland tricks, and I know you have a camera, cause you have
    made vids, so why not take about an hour or 30mins out of your day and
    make some good guides? =p

    I hope you get more into unicycling again, you were a inspiration to
    me, and that faceplant into the tire is forever forged into my memory.

  5. Andrew-

    Thanks for all of your contributions to tutorials in particular. That
    takes a lot of work and your site is one to which people often refer
    new riders for information about getting started. Thanks also for being
    a positive contributor in terms of level-headedness and maturity. You
    have set a good standard and example for all of us. I hope you don't
    mind if I stray from that on occassion. Sorry you won't be riding as
    much. You're a talented rider and your stories will be missed. I hope
    to be down under and meet you in person some day.

  6. i could help out w/ some tutorials if need be
    i was thinking about doing one for long distance hops anyways, mostly
    so that there would be another method to fall back on 🙂
    and acid drops, considering those are hard at first.

  7. Dang, I remember when Andrew came on the scene- never seen anyone post
    as much.

    Thanks for all the stuff you've done for Unicycling- when I was in
    Brisbane it seemed like everyone knows you!

    Good luck with your future endeavours,

    Ken

  8. I'll always be an Andrew Carter fan!

    I had wondered if you were still riding; the thought of you not riding
    was nearly unthinkable. Your skilled riding plus feel-good approach
    really did make one feel good in a deep way. I still watch your videos
    regularly.

    I hope that you get back into unicycling and pop back up here on the
    forums with lots of that contagious enthusiasm once again.

    Thanks, Andrew!

  10. Thanks for the kind words everyone. I will continue to ride, I just
    plan to post less than my annoying old 4 or 5 per day! I don't know
    how you put up with it.

    The muni ride I went on last weekend did get me right back in the mood
    for regular riding. Since I (pretty much) stopped riding, the number
    of unicyclists in Brisbane has almost doubled so there are plenty of
    younger riders to teach bits and pieces to which is probably what I
    enjoy most these days anyway.

    If I ever get my camera fixed you can look forward to videos of the
    talented new riders in the area. 🙂

    Max,
    Wow...I'm surprised that some Melbourne bike trials riders know me. Or
    were you talking to Brisbane riders? They're a friendly bunch aren't
    they. The custom muni did eventuate, see the last two pages of this
    thread - http://tinyurl.com/zssqr . I haven't yet gotten around to
    tracking down good quality blue nipples nor a blue seatpsot clamp, and
    there is still an unacceptable amount of flex. For now I will put up
    with it and possibly go down to a smaller tyre (since I'm not
    interested in 6' drops anymore anyway). We will eventually try to
    reduce the flex somehow...no doubt it will turn out heavier than I'd
    hoped though. It was a very fine line that I crossed with tube sizing.
    I think the flex to size comparison is definitely exponential because
    it's only slightly narrower than my original custom frame which is
    fine.

    Greg,
    I'd love to meet you (and others) as well...maybe when Unicon comes to
    Australia! I keep telling myself I'll make it out to a Moab Munifest
    one year. It looks like so much fun, and such a friendly atmosphere.
    It's a shame Moab and New Orleans are so far apart...I'd love to ride
    Moab then see New Orleans' jazz scene.

    Ken,
    I heard that you'll be doing the Epic again this year didn't I?
    Although I think I'm too chicken to join you, maybe I'll find the time
    to come and watch and meet you in person finally.

    Cheers,
    Andrew

    no they were melbourne-based riders who regularly rode/competed
    interstate i think.

    Hope to meet you at unicon/uninats sometime in the futute.

    If you can't get over the hate in one puny internet thread on a

    where crack smoking bumbs throw rocks at you while you're practicing
    your 360 unispin.
