  2. That Popeye's is awesome!

    their Po'Boys are really good, but I'd rather stick my thumb in my own
    aorta.

    And I like his wheel with the neat spokes.

  6. Awesome photos - looks like you had a huge crowd. Many of those are
    great but too bad the one of Dan jumping over 4 of you was out of
    focus. Ryans' wheel...wow. My favorite one of all is the second one:
    Jeff jumping onto the car. I'd love to hear a recording of TheDan
    annoucing too, although I can pretty much guess what it was like.

  7. Thoes were some very good pics 🙂 The 4 person hop that dan did was
    great! Jeff gapping to the car was impressive, and a great bc wheel shot
    as well.
    Ryan's wheel......looks like he will need some new spokes.

  8. Wow that looked like a fantastic demo, and a huge crowd as well. Nice
    work on the flamed structures too. As for The Dan announcing, I can
    only imagine...

  11. We had a great time doing the demos! The crowds really got into it and
    it's fun to try and pump up the crowd. I think Darren's estimate of 1000
    people per show is a little conservative.

    Our demos were approximately 20 minutes in length and we had 7 riders. A
    couple shows we did went up to 25 mins and a couple were only 16-17min.
    Any more than 25 minutes and I think the crowd starts to lose
    interest.

    The biggest drop we had was 7.5 feet, Dan and Ryan both did it, but Ryan
    actually destroyed his wheel doing a smaller 6 foot drop over the
    barricade and into the crowd (with the crowd moved aside of course).
    Apparently the audience liked that so much some guy came up to Ryan and
    gave him $50 to help pay for a new wheel. That was pretty amazing.

    We only let theDan announce a few of the shows. 😉 There is only so much
    laughing we riders can take without totally messing up all the time.

  12. great pics.

    the trials structures looked amazingly nice. did you guys make them
    yourselves or what?

    was everybody there to see the unicycle demo only, or was there another
    concurrent event going on?

    are some of these demos going to be featured in 'spaced out?'

    great job guys, keep it up.

    p.s. thats awesome about the $50.

    Ryan's blue pedals are awesome... but they look like they don't have any
    pins in them :eek: It's just hard to see them in this pic am I right?

  14. That looks like it was a lot of fun. There are four of us Australian
    riders currently planning for a big demo we're doing for the Australian
    Bike Show. The other three have flown up to Brisbane to plan for it and
    are here now. In some ways it will be quite similar to your setup. I'm
    really looking forward to it.

  15. From the looks of things, you guys were excellent un-bassadors. I doubt
    anyone was thinking of singing the circus theme after watching all of
    that. Every person in that audience had to have gained a new respect
    for unicycles when they saw the 4 person jump or the 8 foot drop or
    riding the skinnies, etc. You definitely gave our sport a good name.
    Thank you!

    My only suggestion is to get video next time. 😄

  17. I can't read the sticker on the frame. My other bike is a bike?

    And I woulda thought Dan Heaton was filming that there would have been
    some good bits he could put in his next movie if he makes one (please
    make one!)

  18. It's aluminium I think. I remember the post about the seat stem being
    pulled out, but I think the answer was it's super tight and welded from
    both sides or something. I think Ryan and Jeff are testing the frames
    and that the finished version will be available at unicycle.com/Bedford.
    There was some chatter about a 24" with maggie bosses.

  19. Man Dan Heaton really is awesome... hopping over 4 people. Him riding
    for Bedford is this a new thing? Is it a permanent arragement or a one
    off?

    Oh yeah... and any news on the titanium frame price?
