Riding SIF for Distance
One time on a training ride for the Laos Tour I was riding up a hill (paved) on a 36" cycle with a friend who was going slower. I think I was on 125mm cranks. I decided to ride with him all the way up and did it SIF. I was expecting my legs to burn out quickly but they didn't. I relaxed and stood up and just rode and we went maybe 1/2 mile, all uphill and it was fine. I don't know why I tried it that day and I don't think I've done it since. Strange. ---Nathan -- nathan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nathan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/251 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73096 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Yes you hold it in front of you. It's very useful when hopping, , as you get more room to tuck. Just a random video I found With that said, Coker SIF anyone? Coker SIF Whoa, embedded youtube videos. -- hansc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hansc's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15945 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73096 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Riding SIF for Distance
Technically (by definition), SIF also means the seat isn't touching your body other than the hand that's holding it. This is not an important distinction most of the time, but matters for things like skill levels and Standard Skill competition. Also just something to know if you're telling people you're riding SIF but you're really doing SIF -against body-, which is the easier variation. -- johnfoss John Foss Email: "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com ----------------------------------------------- "False facts are frequently formed from figures fabricated from fear fired fiction." -- Harper ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73096 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

"The hand", so if you hold on with two hands its technically not SIF? -- The Extremist PRACTISE, PRACTISE and even more PRACTISE. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Extremist's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17844 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73096 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
