Trials

hmm
if I spent less time doing trials and more time doing street im sure I
could have at least a hickflip down by now... its not that trials
riders don't have the ability to learn street tricks. They just don't
practice them as often as a street rider.
that said, i like freestyle, i find it calming and a pretty good warm
up to anything. I like street because it involves launching over 9
sets (or is that trials)
The ultimate Unicycling run IMO is doing a cool freestyle trick into a
trials line, and doing street tricks on the line. That is only my style
though, we are all entitled to unicycle as we want to.

personally, i don't like straight trials that much. But, i do like urban
trials and stuff where the trials is mixed with street. For me, it
can't get better than that.

I agree 100% I love putting a street flare to my trials.

i have only done 1
thats all I have ever found to do, it was night, and I didn't have a
video camera, and the next one I do is going to have a MUCH MUCH better
run-up, and its not going to be pitch black.

I want to try a 10-12 set w/ reasonable run up

Yea i started doing street because it looked kool, and my goal was/and
is to get sponcered one day, plus, the people think unicycling is
weird, but it looks the best, since all my friends exept one ride
unicycles, and that one, is getting lazy, (genesis4) and wants to go
Muni in The middle of Nebraska.

But i think trials jumps are soooo sweet, im committing myself to 30
minutes, to 2 hours of just jumping. (legs are gunna hurt) Then 1 to
3 hours of street instead of 1 to 5 hours of just street.

But i think even street riders add some trials in to their tricks,
because it flairs it up.

why do people say they like to add some street flare into their trials?
My understanding is that street is a mix of trials and freestyle.

it is something to ride across that is, well, Skinny!!! - such as a
fence, handrail, a 2x4 that your dad left on the driveway, anything
that would pose a challenge to ride across due to its lack of
un-skinnyness😉

Trials unicycling could never be concidered "unicycling"... i mean it's
not really "unicycling." For it to be concidered "unicycling" you
would probably have to ride a "unicycle" when you are doing "unicycle"
trials.

...Give me a break, Trials is as much a part of unicycling as mUNI and
freestyle.

My understanding is that street is a mix of trials and freestyle.

say a trials line was to tire a ledge and jump off. that line with
street flare would be to shifty off the ledge.
basically it is a way to make trials lines that have easy sections look
better without doing a complicated trick like unispins, crankflips,
etc.
but your understanding of street is correct

I dont think trials is more boring to watch. For people who dont
unicycle its much better to watch because street is more and more
involving to flatland (and that is not that spectacular than a 8 feet
gap with a 5 foot drop). People who dont unicycle mostly dont notice
the difference between clearing a stairs set with a crankflip or
normal.

I don`t think of trials as just a show off thing as you guys seem to
think about street (or unicycling for it self).

trials is a sport. and like every sport it`s about overcoming
challenges. you don`t actually have to impress someone, you just have
to go some place where is really hard to get to... without putting your
feet on the ground.

also, it didn`t begun with unicycles. people used to do trials on
motorcyles dacades ago. you can still see motorcycle trials in ESPN.
those guys do such unbeliveable stuff that a big air rider (just for an
example) would not even attempt too.

I think if unicycling was just for a show off it would never got out of
the circus to become a sport.

ps: street is a sport too... it`s just faster then trials...

Not to offend or ay anyones bad but theres smooth trials and then
theres trials. Probally less than 10% of the unicycling comunity can
clean a crazy line, do it somooth and get honest comments. Most people
ride trials for a feeling of accomplishment and could care less what
people think about there style. hops. So I ride street were you don't
need em.

trials is not about style. it`s about (as you said yourself) cleaning a
line. the setup hops are bad not because they take the style off the
ride... they are bad because without them you can clean a line faster.

If you are on a unicycle it is unicycling, no matter what you are
doing.

I respect all forms of unicycling. But the forms I enjoy the most are
muni, trials, street, in that order. Trials is just clearing a line,
but if you make the line smoother it's more fun to watch. Because the
general public doesn't know what tricks are hard or easy trials is more
impressive to them. But doing any trick off a stair set is of course
going to look more impressive to them than w/o. And yes I think
jumping a stair set is trials esp. if the landing or take off area is
limitted.

Street is a combination of trials and freestyle, you must have a degree
of ability in both to do street. I like it when trials riders put a
little street into their line where it wasn't nessesary, it adds a bit
of personality.

A great line IMO? Ride along a single track trail w/ a muni, do a
trick onto an obstacle in the trail, and another trick off.
