awesome idea for a video... but possible?

That would be a pretty sick vid!
Sounds good. I'd buy one.

dude Im sorry but this is a uni forum, we dont need yer silly sport
related ideas here. just becuase those two spots allow backflips doesnt
make them amazing. The truth is they are goofy and you should try
somewhere else to get respect, we uni, we work real hard just to learn
to ride a uni, let alone the thechnicality of the tricks. I cant speak
for everyone, but I dont want unicycling lumped with other strange
sports. Unicycling has been an amazing art for years. Scooters and
pogos are for kids, doesnt mean they arnt a real sport and impressive
when done at an extream level, but frankly they are goofy, and easy to
learn. Unicycling is way more developed anyway, its doing fine without
yer movie idea. Street, trails, muni, distance, flat, freestyle,
performance.....we are doing pretty good I think.

Sorry I dont mean to be rude, but youve tried to push yer pogo
mumbojumo here befoere and its not the place man.

i couldn't have said it better, unicycling is not main stream and it
should be kept that way. those sports may be neat but they are nothing
like unicycling

Excuse me, could you explain again what makes unicycling less goofy than
extreme scootering or pogoing? Be specific.

I think that's the idea. He didn't try to imply one was like the others.

Those two guys probably won't buy the video. So, were you planning on
participating in such a project, or just tossing out the idea to
whoever might be interested? People can make videos of whatever they
want. Don't like the subject matter? Don't watch the video.

And unicycling isn't goofy? Ha, Ha.... my head asplode. I definitely
like the fact that one has to work hard before becoming a decent
unicyclist, it keeps the people with no determination away (leeches).

dude Im sorry but "yer" needs to use the "extream" "speelchicker",
"yer" language is too "thechnical" (sorry 😉 )

I like unicycling as a small sport... "those sports may be neat but
they are nothing like unicycling" -agreed.

i never said that it wouldn't be a cool video, i just meant that i
think unicyling should stay small and that a video such as mentioned
should not have the goal of popularizing the sport.

I wouldn't be so quick to judge him harshly.\

If a video w/ these three sports was made (IMO uni would need a longer
segment to cover trials, BC, Muni, street, freestyle, and maybee a
Whiteface/Diablo hill climb race), and distributed on a wide scale, it
could mean some good exposure for unicycling. I was thinking to show
how hard it is to learn, the time each rider has been riding, avg.
hours per wk., and past related sports could be shown at the end, along
w/ UPD's, or in extras.

I do think unicycling deserves much more exposure than those two
sports, mainly because it requires WAY more skill to just ride. Both
of those sports take less than 10 minutes to learn the basics, whereas
uni takes fifteen hours over two weeks, on average, about 100 times as
long. But it is something ANYBODY can learn, the steep learning curve
and poor instruction, cause most people to give up verry early and
assume only certain people can do it.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.

IMO unicycling can only benefit by more exposure, as long as it is
positive. And a video such as this could do that, depending on how it
was made, advertised and distributed.

oddsends,
Hey well if you are agreeing with me cool, 'cause I will agree with
you. My spelling "socks".
Please tho dont come at me about the yer. Yer lucky I dont type yr. I
say "yer" not "your" when I talk and I try and type the way I talk.
And "yer" is perfectly understandable.

Okay John,
I am not going to go into full detail becuase I know you will just pick
and pick. but what makes unicycling less goofy is:
ONE- the artistic value of it
Two- it was not designed for little kids and highjacked by the bored
and "extreme"
Three- Its the idea and original sight that make the uni goofy, the
skills shown on a unicycle make it verymuch cool and amazing, not
goofy. Even when I see the tricks done on pogos are scooters I laugh.
It just looks a bit more silly, and I think most will agree.

That's just your opinion.
ONE- Pogo is just as artistic as Unicycling
TWO-Unis are designed for clowns
THREE-I still laugh my ass off at times when I see extreme unicyling.
FOUR- Pogo PWNS uni even tho I'm a uniier.
FIVE- Pogos are sexy. mmmmMMMMmmm!!
