    I got my crabcycle powder coded now. 😄 Tom Miller (of TUF) was able to
    set this up for me.

    I just put up some new video on http://www.tux.org/~bagleyd/crab.html
    I added reverse (note I am going right by pedaling backwards, which
    happens to be in line with my politcal views!) and a pause. I am using
    a new camera... so I hope I did it right.

    I am also able to switch riding left to riding right and vice-versa but
    still need a fence or I get "panic" attack. :eek:

    I love this unicycle. I am still learning idling. I hope to show that
    in a month.

    I layed off of it for a while while my leg tendon healed (unrelated
    accident) and sent out for painting, but otherwise I try to ride it
    everyday weather permitting. Its great because I dont need to really
    go anywhere to have a challenge and a great time with it. 😄

    David, Looks like you are comming along pretty good. I remember
    watching you at NAUCC on the Crab, and I just thought it was
    impossible. I guess not for everyone. Can't wait to see your next
    video.

    Perhaps Cesare Beccaria, the father of modern criminology often quoted
    by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, said it best: "An unarmed man may
    be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

    Wasn't it already yellow?

    It was fun watching you ride it at NAUCC, I tried to sit on it once
    with two people holding me up and I still fell over.

    Hi

    Thanks for the responses.

    Just had to say... I mounted the crab cycle today! It took me about 30
    attempts or so once I put my mind to it.

    A few weeks ago I learned to idle on it. That really opens the door on
    fun things to do on it. Mounting is probably one of the easier things
    to do on it once you learn idling.

    Today I was also was able to switch direction a few times, pedal
    backwards -> pedal forwards -> pedal backwards -> pedal forwards again.
    Also got a figure 8 while pedaling backwards (thats going to the
    right).

    Sorry no new video... I am not that consistent yet... my wife would get
    bored with my failed attempts. I am certainly having the time of my
    life on it though. 😄

    David

    After seeing how difficult it was for you to get one pedal down I knew
    what it would take for you to master it (a miracle).

    ::What an ACCOMPLISHMENT:eek:

    Great work!!::

    Your a bloody legend mate! That's an awesome idea!
    When I started reading down the page which describes the process of
    building it, I saw the pics and (no offense) I thought "some kid just
    got a crazy idea, i'd love to see it work" but when I got to the bottom
    I couldn't believe it!
    Great work.
