  1. When you see the end "bit" you'll get the title haha! Anyway I had fun
    as usual making this one, and it includes my biggest drop yet--over a
    full foot higher than that fedex box-drop I did a while back! (Not
    super big for you youngin's, but scary Sh#t for an old fart like me!) I
    really surpised myself for even attempting it!

    My goal is to jump my height (5'11"😉 but luckily, from what I hear,
    people "shrink" a little as they get old, so maybe that'll save me a
    couple inches by the time I'm ready!:p

    There's also a fun romp (ride actually!) though the Home Depot, and
    just when i thought I'd made a clean getaway, I had a little "run in"
    at the exit!

    :: Please leave your comments:: 🙂--it's the reason i make these
    viddys...Thanks everybody, an I Hope you enjoy!🙂😄😎

  2. Sweet video! The sound wasn't working for me, only cause my speakers are
    broke, and wont kick back on anymore, but even without the sound, I
    enjoyed it, but I dont know what was happening with the last part. lol

  6. Great Terry,

    The Led music is great. Those drops looked painful:eek:. It must have
    been tough to not try jumping up on the pallets and stuff inside Home
    Depot (and best that you didn't.)

    I need a UNI pass for the office. That is handy.

  9. Great video! The uni pass worked, eh?

    I think I'll do something similar sometimes and if anyone starts asking
    me to, I'll confuse them by telling them I'm looking for the wheel
    department.

    I'm not sure about doing those drops, though. I'm 19 and I don't go
    that high. Not because I can't or afraid of them, they are just not
    very good for your health. You choose, of course.

  12. Nice vid, as usual, Terry.

    One suggestion: work on the camera angle a bit when it's down next to
    your wheel. It's pointed too much up and left. Better would be
    straight ahead with the wheel just on the left side of the picture
    frame.

    Consult with Brian MacKenzie - he's got it down to a science.

    Yeah I tried to but my wheel kept sinking in the grass making it almost
    imposible to roll out. I think my jump was on the right track; side hop
    out to forward.

    I'm going to build a small wood ramp so I'll be hitting a slightly
    downward surface to roll out successfully. 😄

  18. Pump prices, WMD 😄 Anther good one. I was mesmerized by the video
    showing the wheel. It looked like your laces were loose. Anyway, I
    think it's time to try for a real challenge. Maybe a jewelry store or a
    bank. They could be training for the ultimate showdown Uni Geezer does
    Fort Knox. You ride through one of those and I'll really be impressed.

    5' 3" drop, you may want to take care of that "loose nut" on the
    unicyle before you end up with a broken one.

    Thanks for the entertainment.
