  1. Anyone done this? I'm thinking of trying it! Climbing on top of my
    house, hopping a bit, then hopping the roof to the next house! Where I
    live the distance between "roofs" is no more than 5 feet, so can you
    imagine how cool a vid of that would look? Get your neighbors
    permission (or not-like the skateboard pioneers of the 70's riding in
    peoples swimming pools while they're away!:p ) and see how many
    consecutive houses you can hop. Would make a wild vid! Has this been
    done? Is this TOO extreme. 😕

  6. today I was running and saw two houses next to each other that were
    seriously about six inches apart, and I thought, hey, I could just ride
    my unicycle from one roof to another, but then figured, well, the
    owners wouldn't like that.

  16. I've ridden on some Newspaper amchines before. I don't know if you guys
    are more about the altitude or the fact that you're riding on private
    property.

    Well, I own my house, and my neighbors (2) have agreed to let me
    uni-hop on their roofs! I'm gonna do it!😄
