  1. Hello again.

    I'v just managed to get my first video on the gallery. (Thank you for
    the free account Gilby!!!!)

    It is here at:
    http://gallery.unicyclist.com/free4all

    And is called "DarkTom's Fire Lane Kerb Gap" near the bottom.

    I have since done the gap a lot smoother and with one bounce on each
    kerb but I aint filmed it again. This was really an experiment to see
    what windows movie maker is like compared to premiere, as premiere wont
    read the video produced by my digital camera.

    I am a media technology student and have tried to edit it the best I
    could with the software. Obviously premiere would have been better. But
    WMM seems okay.

    Please feel free to let me know what you think. I would appreciate the
    feedback.

    T.

  2. Seriously folks, any input is good. Even if you just want to tell me
    that it's [censored] I don't mind.

  3. The video works!

    You jump opposite the way I do (you're left foot back, left hand on
    handle, jumping to the right). You must be left handed. 🙂

  5. the gap is pretty cool. lots of control on the landing. the distance
    isn't bad either.

    Nah, man! I'm right handed, my mate rides the opposite way to me (he's
    left foot front, right hand on handle) and he's right handed too.

    I haven't measured the gap but I can lay my uni down straight between
    them and the kerbs just touch the bottom of wheel and top of saddle.
    Probably is about 3foot.

    I'll put more riding in next video, I'v done all the steps/stairs I can
    find in Glasgow so there's plenty footage there to use.

    Today I was filming me doing these concrete pillar gaps, it's like a
    playpark kinda thing, while I was there a kid and mum came down and they
    called them "The Jumping Stones", so I'm calling them that now too.

    I have foto's of the pillars but I am in easyintenet and they won't let
    you upload owt!

    I'll make a video up of them this weekend and put it online on monday at
    uni(versity).

    Anyone got any comments on my editting?Anyone know anything about
    editting?

    Anyway, cheers for your comments, they were very much appreciated!!

    Take it easy y'all!!!

    IGGY? Iggy?

    Is that you Iggy? As in Iggy? With the computers and learning to ride my
    uni's and Iggy? Iggy In Glasgow Iggy?

    I've been filming loads, I even borrowed my bro's dv camera for it.
    They'll be up soon.

    I used two camera's (both wee digital-still-that-does-video) my bro
    holding one and one on the kerb.

    Cheers Innes, man! Good to hear from other scottish riders. Are you
    coming to BJC in Perth this year? Loads of unicycle stuff there, trials
