A great set of videos, I particularly liked Sayakakan, thanks for
uploading them.

i really liked Daike Izumeda, even if he did fall on some tricks. that
one where he jumps off the pedal and puts weight on his hand is awesome!

All those videos are extremely impressive. I found the range of styles
very interesting, from Sayakakan's ballet-like riding to Ryan Woessner's
extreme technicallity.
I just can't understand how Sayakakan can do an extremely fast spin and
pirouette, then immediately ride off and coast. Spins always make me so
dizzy.
It appears that Daike Izumeda's last tricks is actually sideways glide.
I would really like to see a video where he does it without falling
off!

Thanks for putting the videos up. Do you have videos of the Open-X
competion, and in particular of Jullian Monney's performance?

Lutz, thank you for posting these videos! I've been waiting since Unicon
to see Sayaka's performance again. Yup, it was still the best one. Too
bad we had some problems with the judging. She should have won the gold.
That is the most beautiful Individual Freestyle performance I've ever
seen, bar none. And I've never seen a spin like what she did anywhere
else, including in all the circuses and pro acts I've ever seen. You can
see she knew she'd nailed it at the end, where she's all in tears. The
performance really needs higher res to appreciate the detail and her
facial expressions.

Note, the Sayakakan clip actually has two riders on it, and Sayaka is
the second one. Sorry, I don't know the name of the first rider, who
also did an amazing performance with some really hard tricks.

The JUA is coming out with a set of DVDs of what is apparently all of
the Freestyle performances. That's several DVDs worth. Check the Unicon
XII web site for details (www.unicon12.com)

Me too. And I'm suppossed to be the Uni-Cyclone. That implies I have
some ability at spinning! I do, but I still get dizzy.
