    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. 🙂

    Andrew

    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?

    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

    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.

    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--

    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.

    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. 🙂

    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. 🙂

    Uhhhh... that's a good point. Maybe I should try all of
    them.

    I had someone ask me to make a video of rolling mounting (or
    not quite rolling mounting but that's the most appropriate
    name I could think of) a giraffe. So I added step-up mounts
    and made a tutorial. It's at...

    I've just filmed and made a hop twisting tutorial. I'm only
    up to 270 degrees but the points I made should apply to hop
    twisting of any level as long as it's from a stationary
    start. I'm put two versions (high and low quality) in my
    'All Terrain' album right now -
    www.unicyclist.com/gallery/album112 .

    I'm going to try to make a lot of these tutorials to go on
    the unicycling tips and tutorials site that Pete is making
    for me for a school assignment of his. If you have anything
    you'd like ot submit please let me know. It doesn't have ot
    be a video tutorial, it could just be text or images.

    Thanks, Andrew
