How about some trials pics? It's hard to guage just how high the hop is, but it's about 3 feet. (I'm posting this for any beginners wondering what the apex of a good side-hop looks like. This is an example of good tucking). +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: 100_0915.jpg | |Download: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/22396 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- TrialsUni ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TrialsUni's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7986 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64350 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

When I get into bigger (pre-hop) SIF hops I like to keep my seat away from my head and body. I've bumped my seat into my chin before, as well as my collar bone, chest, etc. Not the most fun. Keeping the seat away from me on the bigger hops helps me to angle my unicycle better, if I need to tilt my unicycle to get an extra cm or so. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: 2.jpg | |Download: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/22397 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- TrialsUni ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TrialsUni's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7986 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64350 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

I wear board shorts, or dickies black pants. When you ride SIF you don't want to have the back of the seat pressing on your pants. You do have it close, but try not to have the back of the seat pushing into your legs. The more you practice, the better you get at it. And your legs get used to it, the more you ride SIF. One way to practice is what I call the "Baldwin Squats." To warm up for a trials ride, I take my seat out in front of me, and squat with my unicycle, trying to get down really far while pushing my seat way out in front of me. Then, I ride 100 or so feat seat out, all the while trying to relax my arm and legs into letting me put the seat really far out in front of me, and I also squat down and ride the last half of that 100 feet in this way. It should get to the point, in your riding, that you don't consciously 'feel' your arm holding on to the seat. You'll be more focused on what you're riding, what you're doing, your lines. It's the same with hopping. The first time I tried hopping, my fingers hurt the next day from holding on to the seat. The pain didn't go away until I let things heal, and take hopping one step at a time, until my body was used to it. Now, even wearing gloves, I have callouses on my fingers in the joint areas, where I hold onto my seat. Hope that helps. -- TrialsUni ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TrialsUni's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7986 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64350 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Yeah I love trials. Tis' why I started you know. I am not very good yet, but that comes with time. I have that problem with my shorts wearing out and the better at sif you get the less it happens/not as bad. What is you dream trials unicycle? What crankset do you prefer? I got moment 150's for the trials I am building up. -- wickedbob R.I.P JOHNNY HART[/b] [b]R.I.P MITCH HEDBERG harper wrote: Maybe the police used a lower than usual voltage.

(I'm posting this for any beginners wondering what the apex of a good side-hop looks like. This is an example of good tucking). Good tucking. But a good hop will not come from just tucking the uni all the way to your butt.For example, I can tuck all the way to my butt, but my heigest hop is around 28". You have to learn a few things to work with your tuck to get your maximum hop height. 1) tuck with your legs, don't bring your upper body down 2)time the tuck with the compression 3) stand up immidiately after landing on the obeject, if you stay tucked you will lose balance pretty easily. an accomplishment for me? about a week ago (a little over 1 year of trials riding for me) I landed a 27" up static no-prehop. I figure after a couple of rides learning effective prehops i should be able to manage around 30". and finally, how many people are running 150's on their trials set up? I have a DX hub, and the 125's are way to short. I've got 150's from my muni on there right now as an experiement, and i think I'm gonna order a set for my trials uni too. -- maximus unius dunawan wrote: usually always ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maximus unius's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13699 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64350 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

I run 145mm profiles which are actually 147s. I love the length, it gives great control for rails. If I really try, I can turn and hit my pedal on the cement. It isn't a problem. -- Danni leo wrote: Without cocks you wouldn't even have a family forum.

Well profiles are really close to 150's only 5mm off. 150's seem like a good length for all trials riding. I shall talk about it when I get mine all built up. It would be if it wasn't for those damn defective kh hubs. I really hope I can get a replacement. -- wickedbob R.I.P JOHNNY HART[/b] [b]R.I.P MITCH HEDBERG harper wrote: Maybe the police used a lower than usual voltage.

Technique is much more important. Ryan Atkins runs 137s and does some of the nuttiest rail gaps fine. -- Danni leo wrote: Without cocks you wouldn't even have a family forum.
