laid back street vid. 4min 10mb

[tomsey]

hello everyone,

i have made a pretty cool little internet video for all the street
riders here. it has a little bit of reused footage but its been
re-edited into a 4min video.

i made the vid because

1. i just bought new shoes and they are sexy (etnies are cool)
2. i have all this footy lying around. its not very big so its not
really good enough to put in a real video. (post defect)
3. lastly, i am getting into hip hop and scribe is a bomb digity yo
rapper from NZ. and also how well my riding goes with some laid back
beats.

here is the video, enjoy

Enjoyed the video! I had a couple of good laughs and I suppose after
watching it, that being older isn't so bad in some respects. At least
in my shape and my age, I'm not going to be trying some of those.

Damn, son! Your street moves are SICK! You're definitely raising the
bar for street riding... your flips and spins are so fresh, so clean.
When will there be a Tomsey street riding clinic / camp? I'd fly out
in a heartbeat if you could teach your Jedi skills to us.
Nevertheless, I will incorporate your videos into my training.

Awesome video!! I noticed when your doing your unispins that use only
one hand to spin them? Do you only do that when you do them with a
rolling hop or all the time? Im having enough trouble with 360 unispins
with 2 hands.

To watch the video on a Mac, go to the window where you see the movie,
then right click where it says "download movie," and drag down to
"Download Linked File."

That was some amazing street riding. I especially liked the body varial
crankflip and the unispins while jumping onto ledges.

Seat-in 360 unispin to seat-in. Really really amazing, tomsey. Last year
we've been discussing about that, now you're showing it, doing
crankflips at the same time.
EXCELLENT. Really.

Wish we had summer now, too.

Have fun riding, develop the styles, your combos are probably the best
next to Dan!

those are some very tight tricks, especially the 360 uspin down the 4

and the crankflip spins/unispins are awesome

crankflip..... so crazy..

[tomsey]

cool thanks everyone. i did leave a bit of stuff out, which is good news
because there is better riding out there. mainly i used all that cos
its overcast.... crazy last 5 times i been riding its been overcast.
not good footage when its not sunny, and its all in skateparks (kinda a
little boring)

with the unispins, i try and do everything rolling. and from seat-in.
it gets trialsy when you start hopping and having the seat-out.

with seat-in unispins, as well as you think i might be able to do them
i still cant catch the seat with my spinning hand again, which makes
landings (down stuff) really sketchy. i recommend learning seat-out to
seat-in 360unispins (like the 4 set one) that way you can get your hand
on the seat instead of your know whats.

also practice consistency, nothing more useful in unicycling than
consistency.

Damn right! Being inconsistent is one of my greatest faults - I often
learn new tricks so that I can land them maybe 30% of the time, before
going on to try some other new trick... practise and polish are so
important.

Colin,

I have Panther (I'll just keep that money, and use it towards the Intel
line of Macs when my iBook G4 gets old)...and I have the same problem.
What I usually do is "right-click" and save the linked file to my
desktop. I have ethernet at school, so there's no problem at all with
the download speed. I'm usually multi-tasking, and doing homework, so
it helps to keep them on my desktop. So what I'll do is download a lot
of clips, and then watch them when I get a chance. Some I keep for a
while.

If anyone has any other solutions, let me in on 'em too. I'm fairly
new to mac...I really don't have time to tinker with this thing,
because first priority is school, then riding (hehe).

Tomsey...I enjoyed the video! (I figure I better not threadjack, and
actually comment while I have the opportunity, since I did like what I
saw). I'd like to see what other variations you guys could come up
with, since the street style is so fluid and clean. Maybe backwards
grinds? That could be a new challenge. I think over-to grinds look
pretty cool as well. What about 180-spin crank-flips down a set of
stairs?

I think I'm pysched to see more, especially since it is winter here in
Michigan, and I'm dying for summer to return. I still have to get my
hands on a copy of Defect, even though I'm afraid it'll only make cabin
fever in the dead of January, worse.

later,
Evan

You REALLY need to se Defect.

And on the bright side, it'll give you something to do while you have
cabin fever.

I just watched this video again, its kinda wet here so I decided to
watch through my recent downloads.

Alex grinds on his wrong foot halfway through there! Just after the
skateboard bit he hits that ledge on his wrong foot, and grinds it
nicely too. Is anyone else doing this?

That kind of flexibility and depth in his riding is nuts. I knew he was
pedal grabbing both ways...but grinds on either foot shows some real
style. Nice work.
