Video Tutorial Request Thread

skate4flip said:

Hey Amanda, Mike (swarbrim), and I (maybe others will help to) were
thinking of making a few video tutorials for different tricks.
Freestyle,flatland,street, trials, or whatever.

Depending on how many requests there are, there will probably be a new
video once a week or once every two weeks.

Post your requests here (no tricks like 1080 unispin body variel 1
footed triple crankflip)

If you can create these as AVI or MPEG4 files (WMV is a pain), I could
convert them to iPod format, which also works on the PSP and other
portable video players. Or point you at the info on how to do it.

This would be useful as you would not have to be sitting at a computer
to see them, but take your portable video device out to where you are
riding. Or show other people what cool stuff you can do on a unicycle
:-)

Cheers,
Tom

Personally i prefer WMV for videos.

But as for tricks id like to see tutorials of:
Wheel Walking
Unispins(any degree)
Varials(also any degree)

Thats it for now..Im sure ill think of more later.

MPEG4 will work on a wider variety of devices (portable video players,
cell phones) AND computers (Mac and PC). Then one version works for
everyone. Making WMV's is not a big deal. The hassle is starting with
WMV and trying to create something else.

It would also be good to have normal speed and 1/2 speed versions of
the videos so the trick/tutorial can be seen in detail without having
to stop and start the video.

Wheelwalking is a good start. I still can't do them. 😠

If you are going to make tutorials though, try to make them a bit more
in depth than some of the others I have seen. Show transitions into
them, ways to learn, and other subtle hints than no one will think are
important. I already know to lean back, so show us some magic secrets.

Ok, im thinking wheel walk will be the first tutorial. Are there any
specific parts of the trick that anyone wants to be covered/gone in
depth in?

Moving your feet from the pedals to the crown.
Foot positioning on the crown.
How to push the tire without losing balance.

That should do it for me.

For wheel walking, I can go into it either foot from a static mount,
start with a foot on the frame, then mount right into the WW, idle into
a WW, One-foot into a WW, or just go from riding to a WW. I think I can
do more variations of just getting into it, nothing fancy like 360
unispin to WW, but just basic ways. The main problem I have is getting
back into regular riding.

I can help on the double flips... I reckon I might be able to give a
180 a go.

Mike

[Edit] Doubles arent that much harder, I have some tips that can help.

i just learnt how to ww last night i can go across my garage which is
about 10 pushes but getting back on the pedals is hard for me. I 've
got back on the pedals before but i'm pretty sure it was just a fluke.
Some tips on getting back on the pedals would be greatly appreciated.

you know, if y'all are serious about doing this, it'd be pretty awesome
if y'all did a -Unicycling- tutorial. Like, from first time touching
it, to successfully being able to stay on, turn, and freemount. I
don't think I've ever seen any videos like that anywhere.
If you were able to get it fairly professional looking, you might even
be able to sell it....I think it'd be an awesome idea.
Anyway, good luck to y'all....I can't wait till I'm good enough to use
them 😄

if you're going for the complete tutorial idea (from learning to beyond
level 10) i think this is a good order:

unicycle parts and basic maintenence
riding
freemounting
dismounting
turning
various fancy mounts
backwards riding
one footed riding
riding SIF
hopping seat in
hopping/jumping SIF
idling
one foot idling
pirhouettes/spins
backspin/frontspin
wheel walking
gliding/coasting
180 unispins
90/180 hoptwists
leg wraps
step arounds
one foot ww
stand up ww
crankflip
pedal/crankgrabs
360 unispins
other things too numerous and complex for me to remember this late at
night.

I would like to see very detailed videos of crankflip, unispins and
jumping off ledges with a short run. I've worn out jumping off the
porch, so I lowered the trucks tail gate (a 6 foot bed) and was only
able to get enough room for half a crank. I landed it the first time,
but repeted falls on my already bruised leg has left a sizable lump.:o

Never underestimate stupid people in large groups

It is always better to keep your mouth shut and have people question
your intelligence, than to say something stupid and leave them in no
doubt.

I would like to see rolling 180 unispins on flat and down 1 or 2 stairs.
I would also like to see 180 steparound.
