New Video: Uni Geezer: "Rockin' Radical Radial"

[MuniAddict]

This is kindof like part ll to my last video. I wanted to try a few more
things on my 36er, like "coker-crank grabs", stair hops, different
mounts and other stuff. I also got my first ever "Muni-spin"...not
quite a 180, but I landed it! The "leg-around" coker mounts were
probably the hardest I've done, even more so than the kick-up! Just
hopping around on this 36er is like swinging 3 bats instead of one!
It's *really* tire-ing! :)

I thought of the title you see here *after* I had uploaded the video,
so that's why the title's different in the vid lol!

Hey, how do you know when you're hoplessly obsessed with unicycling?
When a woman tells you her measurments are "36 24 36"....and you
immediately think of Two Cokers & a Muni! ;)

Haha, it's so funny you mention "advertising executive"; before I became
a piano technician, I thought about getting in to that line of work!:D

Well from the *center* of the axle to the top (or bottom) of the tire is
almost exactly 18". :) But from a crank grab position, it's closer to
19" since the bottom of the crank is about 1" lower than axle's center.
Yeah that would be a pretty big hop to rubber, since I wouldn't have
the tire compression to help me get up there!

Id think that the crank would make it less... like 17 or 16". Still an
amazing hop on a coker. But you dont need tire compression on a pedal
grab, its just arm strength and technique. And nice suicide mount even
though you did cheat a little by using the stairs.

[feel the light]

To watch ! I just recently learned to free mount my 20 and 24. I don't
have the smoothness (nerve:o ) to try it with the 36. You do make it
look so easy though.
I just noticed recently that udc sells a 36 " KH cro mo frame. Only 3
1/2 lbs, and kinda costly.
http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=679
I wonder how much the radial weighs? I need to get in shape and
learn to out hop a turtle before it would do me any good. You likely
know about the frame already. What kind of, brand, of cranks are you
using ?
One thing you might want to try is 8$ nylon dimension pedals from AE
Bike. I use them on my 36 and I think they are great. At 330 grams they
are the lightest, and have good grip. I might be a bit off base, I am
sure practice and conditioning are way more important to hopping then
uni weight. Still, a 36 is the heaviest hopper I have seen, lighter
parts can't hurt.
Do you think what makes hopping on a 36 harder has mostly to do with
it's size, or weight ?
Anyway, thanks for the vid. I can't wait to see what you will do
next !:)

I think the radial frame is pretty darn light. I use the magnesium
"azonic" pedals and really like them as they are super light and
grippy, and low cost. I bought mine here: http://tinyurl.com/2d5dfm

Yeah you're right...I had it backwards!:rolleyes: And yes I needed that
one step to help me be able to jump high enough for the suicide
mount...I'll have to try it again without the step. I think if I really
try and practice, I may be able to hop to rubber from a 36er crank
grab, but if I can hold balance, the pedal grab will be easier as I can
"swing" the uni up to rubber instead of using brute force lol!:D
