My NEW video with FIRST WW!

[terrybigwheel]

Hey all,

Well, the old dude is back again with one more video, just shot and
edited yesterday, 3/26/06. Watch for a cool little 12" uni I'm riding!
(I think that's the size) My friend called me from the swap-meet
(Yesterday) telling me someone was selling a "20 inch" uni, and wanted
$20 for it. So I asked him to buy it and I would pay him for it...so he
did and it's in the vid.

Also, toward the end I try my very FIRST EVER wheel walk! Short, but
shweeet! (I would really love tips on if this is a good way to learn)
And there's a little something extra after the creds.

Please forgive my "mugging" for the camera at the beginning; I was just
goofin' off.:p No real big whoop on tricks, but there is stuff I
hadn't tried yet in this one. Hopping stuff is to a minimum this time.
:D

ABout 3 months for this type of riding. I used to tinker around on a
scwhinn back in the early 70's, but pretty much just basic
straight-forward riding, so all this trial/muni/coker is new to me.

PS: Did you DL the video already? That's FAST!!:) !

Unfortunately I am. But like I believe, age is simply concept invented
my man. I really think that "acting your age" when your MY age can be a
negative; I DO NOT act my age-yeah I gotta be responsible and all that
stuff, but my overall outlook on life is to just enjoy it all! People,
places, things.

I think a 12" too, but I actually haven't looked at the info on the
tire yet. fun little sucker to ride though! maybe I'll film some muni
and trials stuff on it for the heck of it!:D

hey great video once again! i reali enjoy watching them :)

for the wheel walking, try to lean back more and make your pushes a lot
longer, at the moment they are too short, go from your toe to your
heel

It looks like you have a good way to start. You need to move each foot
along the wheel from toe to heel instead of quickly shuffling your feet
like you're doing in the video. You'll be moving a lot more slowly at
first, but you'll develop better control. Also, lean back a bit more
so you don't fall off of the front.

Here's a pic for size comparison. It IS a 16" as stated on the tire,
but sure seems smaller..especially while riding it.

I like the saddle (on the tiny uni) because it's got such little
"curve", which is why I'm gonna make it into an air seat for my
coker!:D

The KH fusion cover w/tube/foam (on the coker) will transfer to the
baby uni *base*, but I'm not sure if the baby uni seat *cover* will fit
on the KH base, plus I tossed the original KH molded foam...I'll have
to use a different piece of foam and try it.

Never listed it because I didn't think of it, plus you have to keep
changing it every year to keep it current.

heyyy, Beach Boys (: nice choice. I saw them in concert a few months
ago...anyway, sweet video. for the wheelwalking, you need to
straighten up more, and lean back. also, take bigger steps. I think
its pretty cool that even though time is passing, you're refusing to
grow up ( : I bet those people on that porch watching you wish they
could go have that much fun like they were still kids too ( ;

Wow. My dad is 53, so older than you. Im trying to convince him to learn
now that its nice and warm up here in Canada.

Thats awesome stuff! You don't act your age, but thats a good thing.
Acting your age sucks and starts to suck more as you get older.

Anyway, that 14" looks cool, but not too strong. Still, even that
saddle is a great buy for $20! Nice videos, keep em comming!

I can see how that will help, plus I will slow down my feet pushing the
wheel so I don't go too fast. The only thing I'm worried about is
falling backwards on my back! Falling forward is easy to land on your
feet, but what about the other direction? Can I still land safely?
Maybe I should wear my backpack with extra water to act as a cushion
for such falls? :D
