    did i say that was the only thing i was trying to do? no, im practicing
    like hell and thinking im getting lot better and u guys making me feel
    sucky? ye thanks a lot😠

    Relax.

    He was just giving you a word of advice.. I see no harm in helping
    someone become a better rider by making a suggestion. If you interpret
    posts such as that one to be insulting, then you are going to have to
    get used to it, because all he was trying to do was help you out bit.
    I dont quite see how it could make you feel sucky, because you are
    actually a good trials rider. You just lack control. If a post such as
    that one made you feel sucky, then non riders' insults must make you
    want to quit or something..

    These are forums, just chill out, have fun, and take all the advice you
    can get.

    i did take the advice the first time he said it, but the way he said
    it, like dude, dont do that do that, at least in my invirement, if you
    say stuff like that, thats as bad or worse than an insult..
    so sorry if im not right about that, but that's how i understood it...

    Im in a bad mood anyway so sorry taking it out on u if thats what u
    feel like..
    cuz i did actually look up to u, and u did help me on a lot of things
    with your youtube videos..

    Haha dont worry, I was just trying to help you out. Dont take efence. I
    now what you mean though, it is often hard to read something as its
    intended, especialy when I write it.

    What I was trying to say:

    You said you hit 80cm (which is pretty high, congrats) and that you
    were now aiming for 100, sugesting you were going to spend alot of time
    on training your hop.

    After watching your video I thought the main aspect that you should
    work on is acuracy, precision and control.

    If you can I would say it would be good for you to make some small
    obsticles and ride those. Also when you get on a pallet try and cross
    it in one hop before moving onto the next hop. This will help your
    riding flow and will make it alot easier for you, both on large and
    small obsticles.

    hope this helps

  4. Today I built up my uni with its new frame, T7, and brakes. I need a
    longer brake cable but otherwise it's good to go. It will serve as is
    for my century ride this weekend.

    Took it for a few miles on some errands. I'm loving the frame. It
    feels much more responsive than the Radial 360 frame did.

    AND with this I've now built up a completely new uni ... no parts are
    from the original Radial 360 I started with. Once I'm comfortable with
    it I'll be putting the original up for sale.

    Sorry to tell you this but if you made that it probably wouldn't work
    that well... It would be a cool commuter/novelty unicycle though!

    spokes... but than it still would not work.

    Commuter/novelty? It wouldn't work well so you could commute on it?
    How often do you put in serious mileage on a unicycle? You think it
    can be done on something of a "novelty" unicycle??
