JohnnyReggae Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 On the weekend a small group of Unicyclist met up in Tokai Forest for a ride. I was unfortunately not there, was attending a wedding in Franschhoek. Group: (from left) Ethan, Jane, Justin, Arne, Linda Jane ripping it down My Roots... Arne balancing on post...

JohnnyReggae Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 Linda looks hot. Jane dont look to bad either.Hope She's not your wife.How did that guy get on that fence?Nope Jane is not my wife. My wife has tried to unicycle and gave up, but may be willing to try again with some persuasion. As for getting on the fence... he climbed up with the uni, then got onto it. In unicycling terms it's called riding a skinny, and involves being able to still-stand and depending on the length of the skinny... riding it as well. Some guys are good enough to hop up from the ground on their Uni's to the obstacle using either a crank/pedal grab on first hop and then going to rubber from there, or to hop from the ground to rubber on the obstacle. Highest hop to rubber is around 1.2m. Longest long-jump record is around 3.2m, using a rolling hop.
JohnnyReggae Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 Here is a video posted recently to a Unicycle forum showing: riding skinny's hop up with crank grab first then to rubber gliding MUni with some decent drops http://vimeo.com/3305004
