  1. Hey

    Just thought I would post about what a great weekend I've just had.

    Simon McAndrew came up to my house from hockey on thursday, then we met
    up with Aaron Rolph at Newcastle Central Station, on Friday morning.
    We rode around in Newcastle and Gateshead, down at the Quayside, and
    through 'old' Newcastle, and to the skate park at Exhabition Park. We
    brought the skate park to a stand still when we pulled up on our uni's.
    Needless to say, everyone seemed rather impressed of what we could pull
    off.

    The week beforehand had been rainy and windy, and the forcast for the
    weekend didnt look good. Thankfully, it was sunny all weekend.

    We went out riding on saturday, along the seafront at Whitley Bay, and
    to St Mary's Lighthouse. This is an awesome place for trials, but we did
    more chilling then trials I think.
    Later on in the evening, we went out to cause some trouble
    (unintensionally) on the streets of Monkseaton. While we were videoing
    me on a wall, a woman came out of the fish and chip shop, and started
    shouting for me to get off a public wall... Do these people not
    understand how fun it is to ride a unicycle along a wall, 7ft high?
    🙄

    We had hardly stopped riding all weekend, and by Sunday none of us had
    any energy left! Simon and myself had Muni's, so we took a gental ride
    along the seafront to Tynemouth, with Aaron on the bike. We chilled at
    the beach for a bit, then rode home.

    It was a great weekend, and one I wont forget.
    I'm really bad at writing write ups, so here is the gallery of the
    weekends pics - might make more sence - 'Whatever - A weekend at Joes
    house' (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/whatever)

    We also made a movie. It contains some extreme unicycling, with some
    very serious accidents thrown in for good measure (none of which was
    staged... :p ) 'Whatever - The Movie' (http://tinyurl.com/4393l)
    (9.31Mb - Sorry its so big! 8mins 39sec)

    Enjoy, and please could you tell me what you think?
    I must also say thanks to Si and Aaron for coming up, and my mum and dad
    for letting them in the house! 🙂

    Cheers,

    Joe

    if you are wondering why it is called 'whatver', well, we couldnt think
    of a name, and when si was asked what we should call it, he replied, in
    usual si manor, 'whatever'. so we just stuck with that...

    WOW! That was so good. Really, good.

    Being a newbie, seeing that kind of video really makes me want to stick at
    learning.
    I loved the way the main part is the bails and the outtakes are the ones you
    stick.
    Cheers

  3. Si was on the bike :p Even with the pain of saddle sore I continued on
    the uni...mostly 🙂
