Default Uni product review video segment.


ok. im putting out a new vid soon.... and was going to do a review and
ride of 3 different unis. kh 20 07 nimbus 2 trials and a generic
learner. im planning to do increasingly large drops on them to measure
the crank bendage etc. not expecting any from nimbus or kh but if i was
to do like a 5 foot drop on a learner, whats the worst that could
happen to me? im thinking that a crank might snap and ill rack myself
or the seat or frame will break. if anyone has any safety reasons why i
shouldnt do it, id like to hear them. i dont wanna get impaled by a
uni.

Why try a 5ft drop on a learner? why not go for a 8ft or 9ft drop to
maximise breakage and funniness of the film?

Do it!
If you get killed your chances to get a Darwin-award should be quite
good!

lol, on your KH 6-7ft drops should be easy after you land the first one.
I remember my first 7ftish drop, It took me a while to do it but I
landed it on my first go and surprisingly it becomes quite easy after
that.
