Trials

why do people say they like to add some street flare into their trials?
My understanding is that street is a mix of trials and freestyle.

it is something to ride across that is, well, Skinny!!! - such as a
fence, handrail, a 2x4 that your dad left on the driveway, anything
that would pose a challenge to ride across due to its lack of
un-skinnyness

Trials unicycling could never be concidered "unicycling"... i mean it's
not really "unicycling." For it to be concidered "unicycling" you
would probably have to ride a "unicycle" when you are doing "unicycle"
trials.

...Give me a break, Trials is as much a part of unicycling as mUNI and
freestyle.

say a trials line was to tire a ledge and jump off. that line with
street flare would be to shifty off the ledge.
basically it is a way to make trials lines that have easy sections look
better without doing a complicated trick like unispins, crankflips,
etc.
but your understanding of street is correct

I agree trials ain't the ggreatest to watch but it can be really awsome.
Especially if you throw some static street tricks in there. But I
think what tomahawk was getting at is why people do trials. Most
people can't go and gap 5 4"X4" hopping posts 5 posts a part without
setup hops between em all. Every body wants to not only clean a line
but now to have no setup/balance hops. But in order to do that you
have to slowly take setup/balance hops away. Any world class level
trials rider like say yoggi for example hardly has any setup hops. But
who dosn't want to be able to ride like yoggi? Not to offend or ay
anyones bad but theres smooth trials and then theres trials. Probally
less than 10% of the unicycling comunity can clean a crazy line, do it
somooth and get honest comments. Most people ride trials for a feeling
of accomplishment and could care less what people think about there
style. Which is fine If you clean a line that's awsome. Thats just my
thoughts though. I don't ride much trials for the same reason and that
I can get kinda excesive on setup/ balance hops. So I ride street were
you don't need em.

I dont think trials is more boring to watch. For people who dont
unicycle its much better to watch because street is more and more
involving to flatland (and that is not that spectacular than a 8 feet
gap with a 5 foot drop). People who dont unicycle mostly dont notice
the difference between clearing a stairs set with a crankflip or
normal.

I don`t think of trials as just a show off thing as you guys seem to
think about street (or unicycling for it self).

trials is a sport. and like every sport it`s about overcoming
challenges. you don`t actually have to impress someone, you just have
to go some place where is really hard to get to... without putting your
feet on the ground.

also, it didn`t begun with unicycles. people used to do trials on
motorcyles dacades ago. you can still see motorcycle trials in ESPN.
those guys do such unbeliveable stuff that a big air rider (just for an
example) would not even attempt too.

I think if unicycling was just for a show off it would never got out of
the circus to become a sport.

ps: street is a sport too... it`s just faster then trials...
