New Muni Vid w/newcomer Devin
Devin, known as "revolution" here in forums, joined me Sunday, 10/29/06, for a muni adventure at "Stair-stepper!" Heretofore Devin had only ridden his local dirt trails for maybe 30 minutes duration, with nothing technical...but today he made a QUANTUM LEAP in Muni experience with the grueling "Stair Stepper!" They should call it "Stair Steeper!" because it's just about straight DOWN, and 100% ledgy, undulating, trecherous ROCK! This is prolly why we didn't see ANY mtb'rs on this trail! It's just crazy technical! Due to another videocam malfunction, this vid is short at only about 2 minutes but it has the best "Uni-UPD" I've ever seen...or at least captured on video! Again, this was Devin's first time at "real" muni (nearly three hours on the trail!) and he did great, especially given the fact that this particular trail is extremely advanced! ***The actual stair stepper section starts at about 1 minute into the vid, and we only did the "easier parts!*** I would give good money to see even Kris Holm clean it all! You would really have to see it in person to appreciate its unbelievable difficulty. * Gallery:* *http://www.unicyclist.com/index.php?..._itemid=289009 * *Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EmDTuuWK8M* -- MuniAddict "There is an -idea-, of a Patrick Bateman" "They all float down here" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MuniAddict's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12920 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/54472 |

Devin over extended his ankle on a drop, just like you did, and I have done many, many times! Lucky for him it wasn't too serious of a sprain. -- MuniAddict "There is an -idea-, of a Patrick Bateman" "They all float down here" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MuniAddict's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12920 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/54472 |

Terry, I write because I was disappointed with the UPD on your film. Don't take this personal, it's just the words of a caffinated, crazed young man hell-bent on world uni-domination. You are still young in unicycling years so I understand your definition of "best" is still in its formative stages. The riding in your videos is still slow and measured. You and your fellow riders tend to lean back and as we see in your videos, you fall backwards. In time you will be riding at the edge of control, leaning as far forward as physics will allow, pedaling faster than your good senses would tell you to pedal. Only in this time, you will begin to experience "good," "better" and "best" UPDs. A proper "best-of" UPD should involve a forward fall. In fact, the fall should be preceeded by a period of uncontrolled feet-out coasting. The forward fall should propel the rider towards some dangerous terrain, usually steep, preferably dead vertical. The fall should result in at least one somersault, at least one bruise or scrape, and one piece of protective gear or clothing should come flying off in the process. The unicycle should bounce no less than three feet into the air, and it should continue to roll for a distance of no less than 30 yards down the trail. The unicycle should come to rest in a patch of poison oak, poison ivy, thistle, bramble, cactus or another dangerous plant. All said and done, the ensuing cloud of dust shall not be settled until one minute after the initial stages of the UPD. That, my friend, is a proper "best-of" UPD. Sadly, your friend merely bumped his hiney on a rock. I've taken worse falls walking on level ground. Yes, your film does caputre a precious UPD, but it should be reserved for the post-credits-bails section of your video, IMHO. I would be more than happy to demonstrate world-class UPDs for you... unfortunately I do not have access to a video camera. I hope to see you at the LA muni weekend, if not just to shake your hand after scraping myself off the trails. Cheers! J -- maestro8 Those are my principles.
