-Originally posted by hell-on-wheel in response to xwonka's moment of comedic brilliance- *I'm still laughing! Thanks, it's been a rough day. * amen! (the same colleague who suggested the jump from truck to truck came up with another suggestion today it fits better in here so i thought i'd add it) a unicycle with a completely square wheel long cranks should give u the leverage to get it over the four 'dead-spots' in every revolution your still-stands will have to be pretty good but this could be fun as a 'novelty item' any thoughts? (apart from the obvious. the obvious? yes, suggesting a triangular one that will have one bump less.) -- GILD - Waffle-tosser When you think of the long and gloomy history of man, you will find more hideous crimes have been committed in the name of obedience than have ever been committed in the name of rebellion. -- C. P. Snow 'this will only take a minute...(fixed)' (http://www.burmacampaign.org.uk/actions/un.htm) 'and while u're in a good-deed-doing-mood...' (http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com.) JUST SAY 'KNOW'!

Fun cycle ideas!XWonka wrote: *The Extremely Impossible wheel:* We usually refer to this as ultimate wheel walking. Doesn't matter if it's an ultimate or a B.C., it's a new trick but doesn't require a new unicycle. *The Stair Master:* Jack Halpern made first a two-wheeler with only half a wheel on top, then later rebuilt it as just a half wheel. Definitely for screwing around only; and not on a floor you care about! Picture below. *The Bombproof:* Basically this could be an old Schwinn with a Profile crankset. Now that you can get a good hub like the Profile, a bombproof unicycle is easy to make. The hard part is to make one that somebody wants to ride. I'll stick to a compromise between bombproof and liftable. *The Seuss-Cycle:* Peter Rosendahl (first Freestyle world champion) has a zig-zag giraffe that bends to the side instead of to the front or back. Far from a true Seuss-cycle, it's a step in that direction. *The “Bi”-Cycle:* Nah, I don't see any future in that design. Where's the challenge? Gild mentioned a square wheel. This has been done before. I've seen one on a poster for an early performer from about 100 years ago. You could think of it as a MUni for people who live in flat, paved places... -- johnfoss - Now riding to work John Foss, the Uni-Cyclone "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" www.unicycling.com "In three months or so, he won't be doing that any more." -- Kris Holm's cousin Derek, 13, on Kris' unicycling now that he's married ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/28206 |
