I suspect that (many) others like me did their first pedal grabs as missed hops, which happened to land/catch on the pedal. -- duaner - - duaner. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ duaner's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4297 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/31583 |

I'm pretty sure the one and only Kris Holm invented the pedal grab.

I think it might have been in the discovery channel show More then Human, but again I'm not sure.

what a great invention! I think I was the first to do this as a technique for trials does that mean that it has been used as a technique for other forms of unicycling before then? john -- unigeee - Hmmmmm! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unigeee's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/5397 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/31583 |

Consequently, there's a grey area surrounding the origin of trials-specific techniques like pedal grabs. Likely people have hung off their pedals on things previously, but as far as I know it was never used as a serious method to negotiate terrain that you couldn't hop to directly.

Did Kris invent any other tricks? -- gpickett00 - I can ride with just one foot!!!!!! Bicycle is just a short way of saying unicycle with a training wheel. 'Our unicycling video' (http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery/albuv95) I like to do things that confuse other people - mix chocolate milk and orange juice, read books in trees, and other junk like that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gpickett00's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/5654 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/31583 |

Seat out in front hopping has been around for a long time, but I think that George Peck was the first to use it for serious trials. Rolling hops became a big part of unicycle trials and street freestyle when Dan Heaton, Adam Ryznar and I were filming one day in downtown Vancouver for Universe 1. I did a 29" rolling hop onto a parking lot divider, and then Dan and Adam went back and took it to a new level with all the grinding and higher rolling hops that have been done since then. There's some great history in freestyle tricks as well. Anybody want to share any of the history behind coasting, gliding, stand-up tricks etc.?
