  1. I'm looking for serious riders to keep in contact with. Now i've seen
    the pro skateboarders and bikers, and they are godly, also most are in
    there upper 20's. not all but most. Ok, with that being said, Dan Heaton
    is good, and is currently leading the sport, only at age 21. This sport
    is so young that any of us can step up and shape it into the sport that
    skateboarding and biking is today. Tricks like a 180 crank grap, 180
    varial out. Or seat out in front rolling frame spin jump. Or 540 unispin
    onto foot tire, 540 unispin out. Seems all difficult, but nothing
    practice can't help. I'm working on all the tricks the seem really
    harder, i want the 540 unispin foot tricks, as well as reverse rail
    slids. I want to take this sport (in the freestyle, street class) to a
    new level. Dan's leading it now and i want to join him. Anybody else as
    serious as me, talk to me. [email hidden]

  2. you really need to chillax man.

    i dont think dan is even as serious as you are.

    and street is always going to a new level. its not gonna happen
    overnight.

    you need to keep being creative. get some tricks on tape. and tell
    everyone you can.

    i can 180 grind a few rails too.

    anyways keep practicin

    threre is a place, a place far from here. where unicyclists and
    unicycles play and sing together. and where the big bad slurpee throwers
    are non-existant. and where unicycle=pimp. and where the trails thrive
    and live. -the place i go when i ride-

  12. No the reason is really cause my tow best friends I've known for 15yrs
    moved to france...and I used to chill with them every single
    weekends....it's a big hole to fill dude.

    So I'm spending more time ridding and less time socialising. Frankly, I
    don't care all that much.

    hehe this thread rules. i agree that the responses have been pretty
    harsh, but i want to say that unifreak kinda had it coming. obviously
    some people take unicycling more seriously than others. i think that i
    take it pretty seriously (trials, not street). i practice almost daily
    in order to improve my skills and one day i want to be a great rider.
    but the way our friend unifreak presented himself was kinda goofy! ride
    for fun, not for glory.

  14. True, cause I mean it IS a sport right? And I find that some
    competitional stress always helps out... So I practise to keep up with
    the heard...

    not so much to be a leader...

    Anyways, unicycling is a great sport and if he want's to exel in it so
    be it.

  15. Yo, saying i need to get a life is funny. Unicycling kinda is. Duh.
    "Slide" typo. For all you people that just said negitive about what i
    said, well it's easy to tell you're not very good. Ha. Sorry, i feel bad
    for you. This sport is rad, skaters diss, whip out a few grinds, 540
    unispins, 360s, sall good. I can't take most of their verts around here.
    It's great. For those of you who think you're good. I hope universe two
    doesn't surprise you. It shouldn't. If it does, you're not that great.
    Simple as that. Can't believe you'd sit and slam me, either you're in
    the sport, or not, if you're not, I don't want you talking to me.
    p.s. Typo's, don't bother, i don't care.
    p.s.s - Hazard trailer isn't working, there is no system i have to get
    it working, sorry. Can't help it. But the movie is finished, and it's
    rad.

    It's possible to not be completely obsessed with something, and still be
    good at it.

  17. you just seem to concerned with impressing other people(particularly
    skaters) who cares what other people think, unicycle for fun

    and nobody said anything negative about you, people just told you to
    mellow out you came on really heavy

  19. Woah hold on guys, I think everyone is being way too harsh on unifreak7,
    good on him that he wants to take unicycling to the next level, its more
    then all of us can say. Hes obviously a great rider, maybe everyone
    feels threatened by him and so they have to harass him to make
    themselves feel better? I dunno, but give him a break.
    If everyone else is happy with unicycling staying where it is then so be
    it, but i would personally like to see it taken futher, and if unifreak7
    is going to (try and) do that then we should support him, not put him
    down.
    Dont forget we're all unicyclist here, so why don't we act like it and
    stop putting one another down. From what i've heard this is one big case
    of tall poppy syndrome.

    i beleive if you have the kind of attitude to the sport unifreak7 does,
    you wont enjoy it, unicycling is a fun enjoyable sport. unifreak7, just
    relax, have a good time, dont get so uptight about it all
