    I've put up the first segment of our movie in a new album. They will
    appear in random order as I get permission to use the various songs,
    etc. This one is part 16 of 21. I've decided that I'll make all the
    file sizes just big enough to allow 25 frames per second with Windows
    Movie Maker. If anyone wants smaller versions available, let me know
    and I'll sort that out.

    There are a few problems with the music in this one. I don't know
    what's going on and it's getting really frustrating. I'll have to sort
    it out before making the DVD. You'll hear what I mean.

    Anyway, enjoy the movie. Basically what I wanted to put in this movie
    was a lot of riders of varying ages and skill levels having fun and
    pushing their limits every now and then. I will make a 'best of' sort
    of collection of clips somewhere along the line.

    This segment that's up now is entitled 'Group MUni'. Tony Melton's in
    this one (and others). The skate park section will be available soon
    enough, and the other (shorter) ones that aren't going to have music.

    Enjoy, and please don't expect too much. 🙂

    The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a
    capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
    labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

  4. Yeh, I love the song, it's just that it cuts out at one stage and
    doesn't play smoothly the whole time. I'm glad you didn't notice. The
    main one is in the transition from the clip of Tony's log ride to the
    one of me riding along the round wooden barrier things.

    I'm putting the Bike Week Trials Demo up there now.

  7. Thanks a lot guys.> i wish i hadnt run out of places to ride around here i like the bike

    Quoted message said:

    Yes, that day was a lot of fun. I'm so glad I've found my way into the
    Brisbane trials scene. Coming soon we're having another trials comp
    which will be linked up with the motorbike trials comp. It's the day
    before but I think we're using their obstacles for some stuff which
    should be interesting on a unicycle. With that trials demo, I was so
    happy when they brought out the rail to put between the trucks. That
    was fun. If you've run out of places to ride just build obstacles.
    There are heaps of them in this next segment.> Not sure if I was watching the right ones
    The album is www.unicyclist.com/gallery/album112 .

    I'm putting up the last of this batch of segments now - Trials at Home
    Part 1. It's my favourite.

  10. the trials at home part 1 is fantastic...

    btw, what tire do you have on your unicycle? I paused it as you were
    landing on the "hopping post", and your wheel stuck to it like glue!
    even tho your wheel wasn't directly over it, it didn't seem to matter.
    Sorta reminded me of that gazz video you posted awhile ago where your
    tyre was just barely on the edge of the log.

  12. Thanks a lot.

    The tyre's just a standard Monty (minus the label)...yes I love it too.
    I like watching it bob up and down on the post.

    I saw Si playing live a couple of years ago...it was fantastic. If you
    check out that website I put at the end of the segments with his music
    you can listen to parts of some of his and his band's other songs.

  13. Originally I was going to leave all the extra features just for the DVD
    but I've changed my mind. I'm making a few tutorials (at the moment
    just dropping seat in and rail riding, but probably more) and have put
    the 'dropping to flat seat' in one up in the 'All Terrain' album -
    www.unicyclist.com/gallery/album112 .

    I know I'm not the best person to be giving tutorials, but I figured
    that they might help somebody still. I've given the areas that I've
    covered a bit of thought and put together some clips and text.

    Peter has started making a website for me for an assignment which will
    have a bunch of tips and tutorials to download and/or read. If anyone
    has any they'd be willing to have put up on the site I'd really
    appreciate it...hopefully this site will be quite helpful once there's
    enough content up there. Maybe Ryan's hopping high tutorial? And some
    of the spinning seat bold and Miyata fix ones...things like that.

    Anyway, enjoy the tutorial. If you want a lower file size one let me
    know.

    Thanks,
    Andrew

  14. Thanks andrew I'll try some of the stuff you suggested, except I still
    don't get the rolling out thing. I find it transfers all the drop force
    onto my front foot, which hurts alot more.

  15. The tutorial is excellent! It's better than a lot of professional stuff
    I've seen. It focuses on a few distinct, well-described points and
    makes and illustrates them well.

    Personally I'd space the successive drops a little more, because it's
    hard to realize a new one is coming before it's over. As a video
    effect, it's great, but for a tutorial my mind needed more time to setup
    at the top of the drop.

    I have to agree. Great videos. One of my staff was looking over my
    shoulder when you fell after riding backward over the 1 1/2" skinnie.
    She says, "Look, falling on something simple like that!" She just
    doesn't understand.

    Again, great videos. BTW, where are the videos of your flying suicide
    mounts. Thanks, --chirokid--

  17. Robbie,
    Are you sure you're combining rolling out with the other points
    mentioned?

    U-Turn,
    Actually that was meant to just be a really quick into to what's being
    covered and wasn't meant to help much at all in learning to drop. So do
    you think people would benefit from seeing a few different slow-motion
    (or normla speed?) drops as examples? Thanks.

    Chirokid,
    Thanks. As I said, I only recently decided to put all of the DVD
    including the extras up in the album so I haven't gotten around to
    uploading the suicide mount one. I will soon. Come to think of it, I
    may have already done it in the 'albuu61' album.

  18. May I first say: Great riding! I just have part 6 downlaoded so far, but
    it's looking great! How much $$$ for the DVD?

    I'm curious, do you ever go seat out? I noticed that all those rock gaps
    were seat in. Then again, there were some pretty slanty surfaces, so I
    guess seat out would've bgeen hard. Also, whatever gets you to land it,
    right?

    I also would like to mention that I finally got around to going to
    rubber from pedal on top of my 2x4. It took me three tries, but now I
    have it down. Now I have to practice gapping out of it...

    El Gerbel

    P.S. I made it into a sig!!!!😄 So what if it's for writing an oxymoron
    of a sentence, I made it. 🙂

  19. I was worried that Part 6 would be a bit boring for people...but then
    again it's only short. I thought I'd put it in the movie though because
    it was so much fun. I love natural trials...there are so many different
    angles.

    At this stage I only go seat out for high hops. I just don't feel like
    I have enough control when I land gaps and I haven't found that it helps
    me for gapping distance.

    That's great that you made the pedal grab up to the 2x4 - and in only 3
    tries! I'm really amazed...can't wait to see it on film.

    I don't know how much the DVD will cost but not much more at all than
    the blank DVD and shipping costs. I've pretty much dropped the idea of
    making any sort of profit...that's not what it should be about. When
    it's finished I'll get quotes from the Post Office on shipping and let
    you know. I'll put it in a CD case so it'll be smaller. I'm not going
    to make it look all professional with a cover and that sort of
    thing...just write on it with a permanent marker. 🙂
