Pecking Vs. Chipping
Always a fan of eponymy, I vote for "pecking", even though by either name I can't do it.

Pecking Vs. Chipping
Respectfully, it is "PECKING". I first heard this term while attending my first Calif. MUni Weekend in 1997 to describe something I'd never seen done before. Later I saw George's "Rough Terrain Unicycling" video and it was explained in detail. At the time, he was DA MAN and still is in my eyes somewhat of the grandfather of this sport Pashley Bicycles coined MUni. No offense to Mr. Peck's age. He still rocks in his sixties. We should all be so lucky. As awesome as KH is, George still gives me hope that I'll be rocking into my later years. I believe "chipping" is something I heard used by the UK folks later.

I've always known it as Pecking, but I had no idea it had to do with George. Live and Learn Daniel -- daino149 - How's it going, Texas?

Pecking Vs. Chipping
My computer doesn't interact with polls. However, I've heard of Pecking, which is connected with george peck, and also has the connotation of 'pecking' away at the slope in a series of small sharp bounces. I've never heard of chipping except in the sense of Chipping Norton and Chipping Sodbury, neither of which has a big connection with unicycling. Two other techniques: the 'roll', which is a way of crossing terrain by using the circularity of the wheel to maintain a smooth forward movement, and the 'faceplant', named after George W. Faceplant, of Arkansas, one of the less successful pioneers of MUni. Early Pashley off roaders were called UMX. I still have one. -- Mikefule - Roland Hope School of Unicycling "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

Pecking Vs. Chipping
I got the term chipping the same place as from Jagur's link and then mentioned it in the MUni article. I just wasn't aware of the word, "pecking". -- teachndad - The Munieer Rod Wylie You don't have to be a fantastic hero to do certain things -- to compete.

Pecking Vs. Chipping
I have always called it "Pecking" because of what Scot said. I also call it "side hopping up a hill" as a more descriptive term. For example when talking to mountain bikers explaining how I get up steep slopes I can say "I turn sideways and side hop up the hill similar to how trials bikers side hop their bikes up slopes". I have never used, and don't plan on using, the word "chipping". -- 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/27327 |

Pecking Vs. Chipping
I think paying homage is definately appropriate. Heck, if I ever develop some new uni skill that all you folks think is cool, I want my name on it. My luck, I'll get the faceplant in Arkansas named after me. -- Memphis Mud - Student of GrandMaster 2T Mantra: Avoid Hitting Tailbone...Avoid Hitting Tailbone... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Memphis Mud's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1987 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27327 |
