  1. Hey All,

    Well this is my first video in about 5 months, My leg is really starting
    to feel like a real leg again. After upwards of 5 months off the ol'
    uni, i am back on and do just as good as ever, and im quite happy aobut
    it, it feels very good to do everthing just as good again.

    'Here' (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/album589) is the video. Its
    called, "On The Wheel Again".

    Note: Normaly i do wear a helmet and i highly advise people to wear
    them, the reason i wasnt wearing one is cause i was a mile away from my
    house and didnt want to get back and get it.

    G'Day,
    -Evan

  6. Nice job on the seat drag. It's funny how your seat bounces all over the
    place when you do it.

  9. Yeah, I cracked up when i first tryed the seat drag, Its cuz i have the
    cut down kh saddle and it weights like nothing, so it bounces, also
    there were cracks in the surface i was riding on, so it hit those and
    bounced too.

  10. Great video, as always.

    The slow-motion parts are cool... and they are also educational for me.
    You should make an instructional video for hopping. It would really
    help people like me who have trouble hopping.

  13. I liked the viddy, especially the sequences around the water fountain!
    The rider / uni / cameraman / camera specs at the end were cool to see;
    it appeals to a uni geek like me. Glad to see the injury didn't phaze
    your riding abilities.

    The ledge riding was nice, but I'd recommend your camera man zoom out a
    bit to show the height of the ledge, as well as to "give you room" in
    the frame for when you do a hop / drop.

    As for you, I'd recommend trying to ride around tight corners rather
    than hop through them; if you spend some time on it you'd be amazed how
    precise you can get! The "turbo-hopping" burns a lot of energy (esp.
    for an old fart like me) and you can ride longer lines if you roll as
    much of it as possible. The "Kris Holm" school of trials recommends
    hopping less and still-standing more... but I won't question the "Evan
    Byrne" style, it seems to work quite well for you!

    Thanks for sharing! Post some more trials schtuff, pleeze!

  14. Thanks for the input, The reason i was doing such little tiny hops was
    because the ledge i was hopping on was rounded on the top and also
    skinny, twas hard for me to get goot take off place.

  17. i liked how you picked up the seat. It looked like you threw it up,
    racked yourself, but saved it. You also looked like superman going
    around the fountain. It was awesome. I wish I was that good. The 180
    off that something when you wwent backwards was great.

  18. Even though the music is terrible, you should have credited them at the
    end instead of what kind of camera you used.

    I must say I liked the fact that you started with a failed attempt at a
    trick, and then ended it with a successful attempt. It gave the video
    some nice closure. Well done.
