just because of the awesome PBJ song, and that one other song... and
that bit about gum, i'd give it a 10 on the comedic gold scale, and an
8.5 in the Uni vid category.
definately a keeper.

Well that was the worst fall I have ever seen resulting from riding
backwards:D I liked the stand up wheel walk.

I liked your good tricks. The sequence of 180 uni spins was impressive,
as were the hop-on-seat combinations, as was the stand up wheel walk.
However, showing them in a video alongside clips of you hopping
one-at-a-time up a set of four stairs threw me off. Basically, without
those advanced moves you did, your video was kind of a "just another
guy that has been riding for a year or two and is making his first
video" kind of thing. Adding those big stand up wheel walk//180 unispin
combos changes the entire tone of the video... I'm not sure if i'm
being clear enough, or too harsh, but i really don't think that stand
up wheel walking belongs in the same video as riding backwards (and
vice versa). You know what i mean? Also, a tripod would really help you
out a lot. Regarding editing: Complicated tranistions draw attention to
the transition, rather than the footage. If that is your goal, for
example if you had two love-themed shots (or a moment in the song),
then a heart shaped scene out would make more sense. But when the
purpose of your video seems to be "here's what i can do, what do you
like, how can i learn to do things better," then the transitions
distract rather than help. But that's just me being nitpicky, having
just watched Shaun Johanneson's video (http://tinyurl.com/ae2lk. It's a
mind-blowing video that is edited very simply. woah!

Don't take me too harshly--you pull some sick tricks in your video. i
wish i could 180 unispin or stand up wheel walk or .. .. .. It's just
that you asked for feedback, and i figgured being critical would be
more helpful to you than saying "best video ever! i loved it! perfect
ten!" Know what i'm sayin'?

I liked the video, it was good for a first video. it's sad to see that
unicycling is getting to the point where people are no longer
supportive other people. it's even worse to see that some people are
taking a complete negitive view of anyone that they deam is not as
"good" as them. I am sure there are some tricks in that movie that you
can't do maxis, that stand up wheel walk was awesome! I guess people
don't realize that it's the new people the people who sustain the
sport. buying new unicycles, learning giving us a new point of view.
with out people getting into unicycling we would not have profile hubs,
we would not have KH products or koxx or any of that. I think people
need to remember that just 6 years ago ryan atkins had never even tried
trials. Jeff groves had never even ridden a B.C wheel! universe 1 had
not been shot. and just 11 years before that Kris holm had never seen a
unicycle. I guess what i am trying to say is we all have to start
somewhere, moreover just becasue someone isn't the best does not mean
anyone has the right to pick on them or to be mean or rude. I would
also like to add that well the new people are well new... doesn't mean
they won't soon be beter then everyone else! i personally think that if
this person's "new" that he is going to go a long way. It's a new
sport, be nice!!!! don't let it become like skate boarding!!! or many
of the other extreme sports!

P.S i think that no one should use this site to be rude, it's not the
spirt of this site!

I think you went overboard with the cuts / transitions. Waaay
overboard. Some of the cuts were way too short. I felt like I was
watching a commercial on TV.

I was just wondering why you have a trials uni, as you're obviously more
of a freestyle person. The movie itself isn't one I'll be watching
again, and again, but very few movies do that for me. Ofcourse, I'm not
one to pass judgement as I have no movies of my own out there right now
;) (Will have one out, as soon as I can pick up a decent camera).

hey dude... i know that everyone is entitled to their own opinions and
all.

that why in my opinion i think it was way better than the only stuff
i've ever see maxisback do... which is like 180 5 stairs and clear 7.
two words for that BOR-ING.
and no tresspassing signs are cool... so is getting arested for
smashing a cops windshield with a uni i guess... but how far are you
willing to go with this?

shut up

way better than my first video man... keep it up

Most of the people watching your movie are -not- haters. I started
watching the film, but it was like zillions of others that I've seen
before, so I stopped it short. That means no disrespect to you or your
riding skills. I have been riding for about 8 months, an I still can't
go round corners properly!

Don't take what maxis says to heart - he often comes across as negative
even when he's being positive! I for one regard him as a bit of a
'local character' and the fora wouldn't be the same without him.

Above all don't feel that you are getting flamed for your first movie.

Keep riding.

I think that if you ask people to rate it against defect then you won't
get as many positive comments. Yours is more beginner level stuff and
Defect is the best production film to date. So people shouldn't upset
when max rates it really low.
