  1. Even if you were at the Bedford Experience in Ohio for the DEFECT DVD
    release party in July...

    YOU GOTTA GET THIS NEW SYKO PRODUCTIONS DVD !!! IT ROCKS !!!

    So much more than was shown at the pre-view at NAUCC.

    By far the best extreme unicycling DVD to date, hands down !
    It will have you on the edge of your seat the whole time.

    DEFECT has the most amazing, gut wrenching, nut busting unicycling you
    have ever seen.

    Things to watch for:

    Jeff Groves hopping, dropping, spinning and grinding rails on a BC
    wheel !
    He rides a Bedford Trials and Pro-Street BC wheel with ease.
    Ryan Atkin's, Zack Baldwin, Jess Reigal and others show you some of the
    best BC wheeling to date on film.

    Ryan's Atkin's section including the Bedford Staff car and contents.

    Kevin's crashes and deterination are a highlight.

    Mike Clark's un-real rail grind and flying Dukes of Hazard move !

    Special notes:

    Many thanks to Carl and Sara for their 140+ hours they put in to make
    this DVD outstanding !

    To Dan Heaton... You're the best !!! Way to go on making a Masterpiece
    !!!
    A standing ovation to you !

    Cheers,
    Darren

    P.S. If you haven't already ordered your copy, do it NOW !
    You will be glad you did ! ...or I will refund your money !

    today !

  2. Holla,

    I haven't seen this video yet, but can guarantee that Dan will deliver
    nut-busting unicycling action time after time. Just listen to Darren,
    this film will blow your minds.

    This will also be an improvement over UNiVERsE 2, since that
    wallrangler, or whatever, guy isn't in it. Although the blooper reel
    may be quite shorter.

    Haha

  3. Thanks Darren, I appreciate the comments on my falling. And I'll have
    everyone know that almost all of those tricks that I fell on, I landed
    later on. There were a couple that I didnt, and you'll see those ones
    too. I'd say also watch for Shaun's amazing ability to do tech tricks.
    Like wow. And I agree, Defect is absolutely AMAZING. Really, its
    worth buying, I promise. Some of the most amazing tricks I've ever
    even thought about are in it. Great job Dan, we all love you bud.

    I don't love him. ah, well, there was this one time when I licked his
    neck. I take it back, I do love burp-boy.

    Defect has much more style than Universe 2. More creative, new ideas,
    craziest riding of course-- it's amazing. You'll love it.

    and in Spaced Out there wasn't one shot of you falling in the crashes
    section... :p

    and Dylan I think we'll all miss you :p - especially in the bloopers!

    Zack B's section is amazing. His trials riding sets a new standard for
    smooth fast flowing lines with MINIMAL correcive hops. he is so fast
    that a couple shots had to be slowed down to better show how fluid he
    is. Don't worry, you get to see those shots in real time in the bonus
    section.

    It's hard for me to pick a favorite. Each section (even the credits!),
    each rider, has his/her own way of keeping you glued to the screen.

  14. I ordered my copy from the Syko website. You can buy it with a matching
    t-shirt from there. 6 dollars to ship to UK. Bargain.

  15. I got up today and had to put it on again ! 3rd time in 12 hours !

    I cranked the volume. When you hit play, the intro music is so powerful
    and edited perfectly.

    Dylan - There is no shortage of crashes in this one either. Not just at
    the end of the film, all through it !

    Justin - Your flying crank is so cool to watch !

    Jagur - Your DVD is on it's way. You will be able to look for your egg,
    whatever that means, next week. Thanks again for the order.

    Mike - I agree, every rider is a pleasure to watch. The talent is
    un-real !

    Kevin - The crashes are just as exciting as the big moves you land.
    Keep it up, but miss every once in a while too !

    Again... order the DVD if you haven't already !!!

  17. Yesterday one of my regular customers came in to the shop to get his 29"
    repaired because he broke a spoke and wanted a new tire.

    As I was fixing his unicycle, I told him about the new DVD DEFECT.
    He said he didn't really want a unicycling DVD. When other DVD's came
    out, like Spaced out and Universe 2, he didn't get those either.

    This guy uses his unicycle everyday, rain-snow-sun, to get around
    Toronto.
    Nothing keeps him from riding daily.

    I told him this is a must have item. He ended up getting a copy before
    he left.

    Today he called and said that he was totally impressed with the DVD !
    He mentioned that the kid on the rocks (Zack), the Japanese girl and
    the guy who was grinding the rail (Mike) were amazing.

    He said he was extremely happy he bought DEFECT.

    Maybe on his next visit he will pick up another DVD.

    Just thought I would share a comment that would not otherwise make this
    forum.

    Or tripod-busting. 🙂

    Your parts in Universe 2 are some of the best. Can't wait to see the
    full film, as I saw the preview at NAUCC. My favorite part was the
    caveman cartoon, and how it transferred to today's modern caveman
    afterward.
