    From now on, I'll post news of new natural trials videos in this thread
    instead of individual threads. I'm hoping to do a few more in the near
    future. There are some amazing places to ride here in Brisbane.

    Today I played around in a new location which was really nice. There
    were a couple of lines I checkened out on because I was there on my own.
    I'll hopefully get around to trying them some day. One was a great log
    ride down a bouncy narrow fallen tree above the ground.

    I was happy with one line in particular because I got to apply some fun
    techniques (ie, having the wheel wedged in place, then hopping 90
    degrees to another nearby groove to wedge into).

    This latest video is 75sec long and about 4MB in size. As requested, I
    left out music this time.

    Enjoy,
    Andrew

  2. Nice stuff! that was some awesome riding. I'd say the third movie is my
    favourite 🙂
    Looks like you have some really awesome places to ride there. Coming to
    think about it if I ever got around to going up Takaka Hill (largely
    where the LOTR was filmed) there would be some really cool stuff like
    that, maybe i can convince the folks to go up for a picnic or somehting
    😉
    Overall good stuff, and nice riding, keep them coming!

  3. All really awesome stuff. I'd love to make a movie like this, both urban
    and rural styles. The flow is just so great. Keep it up.

  6. Natural Trials Series:
    'Video 4 - Natural Trials at Home (60sec, 3MB)'
    (http://tinyurl.com/68mjb)

    This is the result of about 30 minutes of riding. Now my seat has
    ripped right through and only has a few more rides left in it. 🙁

    I was really happy with the last set of gaps between the rock peaks. I
    didn't think I was going to try it, at least without pads. To all the
    no-helmet naysayers, I apologise. 'Twas just a spur of the moment ride
    after watching Jess and Zack's great video.

    Unfortunately it doesn't look as nice as the other videos due to lack of
    direct sunlight...plus I wasn't out on a nice mountain I was at home.

  7. As always nice stuff Andrew.
    You have a pretty nice area of rocks to ride in your backyard, thats
    cool. Your lucky you didn't get a pedal to the legs 😉

    and may your seat have a long and restfull retirement

  8. Thanks Peter. Yeah those rocks are good fun. There are lots of
    opportunities to wedge the tyre between two rocks which is always fun.
    They won't be there forever though...just until a new house goes up.
    🙁

    I think you can see my two pedal scars on my right leg in one of the
    shots. 🙂

    DivX maybe? I don't know. If you don't have a DivX codec get it
    here....its good and a lot of people use it on their vids.

  11. They all worked in Windows Media Player for me, and I don't THINK I've
    downloaded any codecs ... wait, no I did get the DivX one TheObieOne is
    talking about. Try it with that, it should work fine.

  12. It was just made with Windows Movie Maker so I would have thought it
    should be playable on any Windows-equipped computer. Not sure what's
    going on.

  15. 'Payne Rd and Slaughter Falls Natural Trials (6.3MB, 1min20sec)'
    (http://tinyurl.com/6ylqw)

    Here's another little movie. Nothing fantastic, but a bit of fun. I
    chickened out on a couple of lines I wanted to try that I really should
    have done. Two lines involving post gaps were what intimidated me a
    little, then I didn't do what would have been a really fun line because
    I saw a harmless green tree snake in a tree above me and, being the
    snake-o-phobe that I am, left the line for another day.

    I've decided to film ALL of my unicycling footage in widescreen from now
    on. A bit of a bold move, but I really like the way it frames the
    shots.

    Andrew

  16. As always, sweet stuff. You're getting some nice distance on those gaps.
    Keep up the good work.
