  1. I'm thinking about posting a little site that has the biggest sets ever
    tricked down with certain tricks. Crankflip, 180 flip, [censored], 360
    hoptwist. and stuff like that. To the best of my knowledge, and if you
    know more about the trick than me, you could help me out. But yeah, i'll
    wait until defect is out until that. Just wondering if that is something
    that would be cool for you to see. I tried looking for the biggest sets
    ever tricked down with skateboard tricks, didn't work ( I know they
    would be really big, w/e ) The street tricks are really just starting
    out, so it's just to my information known. When the site starts, all I
    need is video proof of the trick down the set or I have to see it. lol.
    But yeah. I won't attach the videos to the site though. Keeping it more
    interesting for the people striving for it. I want street to develop
    more, and this might help. Thanks for your time.

  3. Sounds like a good start, but I dont see how "making people strive for
    it" will help street grow.... I think it would get more people
    'inspired'/interested if they acctaully SAW the tricks, etc. being done
    then just reading about it. Enlighten me..?

    I do: as you don't exactly tell what or how to do, potential copy-cats
    will be trained to use their own creativity! ...to later (intended or
    not) contribute to the sport.

    shaun johanneson thing was really funny. thanks. lol. Leo you post a
    really good point that I never even thought of, thank you. Well thanks

    why won't you attach the videos? I think that's pretty much the only
    reason I would go to a site like that, because I personally quite enjoy
    watching online uni videos....

  8. Ya, i think you should post the videos, if it says someone has done
    something like a 540 crankflip into a handrail its not interesting
    unless we get to see it. I think a list of what people have done would
    be more boring...but i would probably go there anyway😄

    Thanks, but also consider the other side of the balance-scale: if the
    n00b holds a certain trick for impossible... you can write whatever you
    like... but then a video would stimulate more.
    Like coasting. I knew it was part of level 10. But when I 1st ever saw
    Trevor from London (Hackney) doing it I was stunned and hardly could
    believe my own eyes. Result: same month I could coast to, which
    otherwise would have take much longer.
    Or what about coasting the Julien way? Would you believe it while not
    having seen the evidence?
    AND
    Recently I finaly understoot -after 7 years- the difference between
    'step around' (http://unicyclist.org/cont/standard_desc.cfm?168a) and
    'inverse' (http://unicyclist.org/cont/standard_desc.cfm?168b). Are you
    able to make a fool-proof and fail-proof explenation? Some skills are
    better just shown than described.
    AND
    what language does your webpage speak, who will you reach?
    what language will the demo-clips speak, who will it be able to reach?

    My personal opinion? Just dump it online.

  10. I'm able to speak english, german, and some spanish (not a lot). The
    website is changing and expanding a bit. I want it to be a completely
    street based website. With info, trick info, naming tricks, and people
    that have done what. (Keep in mind If a movie is being made I won't post
    anything like that to wreck it, so the video stays more underground.)
    But yeah. I suppose if one wanted a clip of any of those tricks that
    were posted. You could ask me and if it's available i won't transfer it
    out. laters

    The majority of street riders who are breaking records, use their
    footage in videos. If you can see all these tricks for free online, 1
    you would be less willing to buy a video with this new amazing trick
    (you've already seen it), and 2 you will be less impressed the second
    time you see it (compromising the impact of the video).

    I think that is a great idea for a site Shaun. It would create a sort of
    timeline for street unicycling, making it easy to see how quickly it is
    progressing.

  12. Maybe you should just have a picture of the trick so it gives you an
    idea of what it looks like but when it comes out in a movie it wont be
    old news and people might be more curious to see the whole thing so the
    movie has a bigger impact. I could be completly wrong because im kinda
    making stuff up but its sounds reasonable to me🙂 I know pictures wont
    portray some tricks very well because you cant distinguish between
    things like a crankflip and a double crankflilp and stuff like that.
    Just an idea...
