You might as well have a pogo stick, it has a much better bounce. Any comments on this? Again, I'm not trying to be mean or anything, please don't get upset if you disagree. that's kinda like saying if you're gonna do street just go ride a skateboard. of course I don't think that way.. street and trials are both equally challenging and can both be very impressive. -- Monocyclist ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monocyclist's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13114 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/56476 |

Trials
hmm if I spent less time doing trials and more time doing street im sure I could have at least a hickflip down by now... its not that trials riders don't have the ability to learn street tricks. They just don't practice them as often as a street rider. that said, i like freestyle, i find it calming and a pretty good warm up to anything. I like street because it involves launching over 9 sets (or is that trials) The ultimate Unicycling run IMO is doing a cool freestyle trick into a trials line, and doing street tricks on the line. That is only my style though, we are all entitled to unicycle as we want to. -- skrobo Unicycle For Christ ____________________________________________ -last edited by \"your mom\" at 8:35 pm - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ skrobo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12272 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/56476 |

Yea i started doing street because it looked kool, and my goal was/and is to get sponcered one day, plus, the people think unicycling is weird, but it looks the best, since all my friends exept one ride unicycles, and that one, is getting lazy, (genesis4) and wants to go Muni in The middle of Nebraska. But i think trials jumps are soooo sweet, im committing myself to 30 minutes, to 2 hours of just jumping. (legs are gunna hurt) Then 1 to 3 hours of street instead of 1 to 5 hours of just street. But i think even street riders add some trials in to their tricks, because it flairs it up. -- CKCrowe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CKCrowe's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13945 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/56476 |
