New Video: Uni-geezer 5: "Lucky 7" (New working Link)

I'm really sorry (again) about the first, messed up link! This is the
second time I've had this problem with youtube; first it's on, then
it's not. So I put it on Google and it seems to work fine, plus you can
now download it! Again, sorry for the screw-up. (If you read this
Gilby, maybe you could delete the original post of the same title?)

Anyway here's the description for those who maybe didn't read it yet:

Well, maybe I should have called it, (Un)lucky seven! I wasn't in my
best form today due to spraining my ankle (not wearing my regular
high-tops today) -and- losing a pedal! ("slipped" right off the
spindle during a drop!) But being the crazy person I am I decided to go
for it and try my next challenge...the 7-set! I had LOTS of bails
leading up to my final, semi-successful jump.

This set is a bit longer than usual as the steps have about 2" more
depth each, so it's almost like an 8 set! Plus the total height from
the top to the landing area is a bit lower, so less air time to clear
the set!

Please post your comments and I hope you enjoy; it's a rather short
installment at about 2 1/2 minutes.

Cheers to the old farts!

Actually I wasn't hurt. I had the full "compliment" of protective gear
on. But your suggestion is well taken, but I was having difficulty
launching "upward" alot because my ankle was still hurting from a
previous sprain...yeah I know I really shouldn't have even been doing
the jumps-or anything harsh-until it gets better, but I couldn't
wait!

I agree thought, go less speed and how harder.

Haha fair play if at first you don't succeed try it again with more
speed until you do it (or total yourself so bad you get impressive
injuries).
Is it just me or when trying jumping stair sets do you try and clear
them first go or purposly land on the stairs to see how it feels, i'm
sure this is wrong and is probably just asking for a pinch flat.

Just another typical day for a man in his 50's

Great job. You know, no one has ever jumped over the Snake River Canyon
on a unicycle before. Is this all training for the greatest of jumps?
Evel Knievel will have nothing on you if you go for that.

Did you have a custom saddle build to make room for your extra large
b$#^s?

Continue showing those young whipper snappers that people in their 50's
are really cool. Keep up the good work. You are a real inspiration to
this spring _chicken_.

Keep your speed, but practice whipping the tire up in front of you more.
That will give you the extra distance you need to clear that 7, and the
8. =p

I've done that before in muni I purposely won't land right. for some
reason it gives me more confidents the second time

Yeah it was still sprained from an earlier attempt and I think that's
what kept me from jumping higher at the launch point. I'm going to try
going a bit slower so I'll also have more time to compress the tire and
spring UP at the last second...if I'm going really fast I don't have
enough time to do that.
