Someone actually asked for my autograph
Cool story, but I don't know, impersonating a celebrity in the United States? That could be serious.

It could be a 12" diameter log, the wide side of of a 2x4, the wide side of a 2x8, a curb with a drop on both sides, a railroad rail, or anything else long and skinny. There is no requirement that it has to be the skinny side of a 2x4. Since "skinny" by itself does not tell you anything about the width or nature of the object it is a good idea to describe the skinny object by saying something like "a skinny 12 inch diameter log". -- john_childs - Guinness Mojo john_childs (at) hotmail (dot) com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27588 |

If I had been there, I would have asked for your autograph also. That is, unless you were really signing them, Tom Blackwood! LOL Question: Do you mount while up on the "skinny?" Or do you hop or ride onto the "skinny?" Thanks in advance. --chirokid-- -- chirokid "Unicycling can make you proud then humble in very quick succession."

The pole was cradled in both ends so it was about 20" high at the ends and about 16" at the center due to the pavement on the parking lot side. I found a block and hopped from ground to block to pole too, got on the pole several times but never transitioned to riding. Initialy I was focusing too much on the pedal and pole right in front of the uni. I found not looking at the pedal and moving my focus point a bit farther out helped. (Just like skiing, no need to look at the tips, they'll still be there when you get to the bottom of the hill: The pedal will still be there even if you don't see it.) I was using a static mount, also seemed to help to have the rear pedal a bit higher than ususal, above horizontal, to get started. It was cool to land several rolling drops, regardless of pedal postion. The improvement continues but my trials will always be lame. I could have spent another hour playing on the thing but I had to watch the soccer game and my public was waiting. Regarding "skinnies". My skinny is another riders boulevard! -- UniBrier - Its Time to Ride Steve DeKoekkoek - I've got a one track mind. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ UniBrier's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1404 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27588 |
