  1. Has anybody ordered Universe 2 off of Sykoproductions.com? I would buy
    it off of Unicycle.com but at Syko it says the shipping is only $2.00.
    Plus is it a great movie? Better than Universe 1? What is your favorite
    part? Just wondering. Please reply. Thanks. Kelly.

  2. I think It's great. The riding is top notch, and the editing is
    wonderful. The music works well with the riding as well.

  3. Everyone who has seen it will (or at least should) tell you it's
    absolutely brilliant. YOU MUST BUY IT NOW! My favourite bits are all
    of Kris Holm's muni and trials bits. Followed by Daike's freestyle
    section...but it's all absolutely amazing.

  5. I wouldn't go so far as to say Universe 2 is "brilliant" but Max is
    right, the riding is top notch. Without a doubt, a good buy for any uni
    enthusiast

  6. dude
    universe 2 is the most insane thing anyone has ever done with
    unicycling

    i didnt order it off sykoproductions.com but as long as you got the
    video then your set man

    i would have to say the best part in that video is Dan Doerksens part
    just because he has a sweet style

  7. I ordered it directly from Dan. I just emailed him at the address found
    on the Syko page. Because I ordered 2, he didn't charge shipping even
    though I live in Hawaii. Just email him, or IM him. His SN is
    uniryder. He's on quite often.

  8. I think it's fantastic. I haven't seen universe 1, but all that matters
    is it's worth every penny. Get it right now.

    My favorite section is with Dan Doerkson (sp?). Daike's freestyle
    section simply cannot be beat. It also has some footage of Sem Abrams
    (of Semcycle) and David Poznanter (I think he designed a hub of sorts.
    Someone surely knows more on the matter), which is nice.

  9. After you see U2, you don't care about U1 anymore... it blows it away.
    Dan Heaton opened my eyes to a whole new level of unicycling
    awesomeness, and every second of it was just great to watch. it's the
    greatest extreme sports video i've ever seen... and i'm comparing it to
    numerous surf flicks (including the endless summers) and MSP's ski movie
    trilogy. buy it asap.

  11. us NZUNI boys (the new zealand guys) are making a 'extreme' unicycling
    vid with the talent we have here. although it wont be anywhere near the
    standard of skill in universe 2, it should be a good release. we are
    supposed to have started filming now, but we've kinda been delayed with
    stuff. its going 2 b called 'uninhibited' and im currently making the
    covers for it...and i would have posted an image in here, but they are
    all at my other computer...so keep watchin, and ill post em soon

    I've just finished making my movie. There's about 60 minutes almost of
    edited footage in there, but the editing's really rough and it's done
    more for my own memories than anything else. I'm going to make it
    available for download when I get around to it.

    I have some good footage of Tony Melton which you're welcome to if you'd
    like it. I still have the uncompressed files on the computer. Let me
    know if you want it early before I delete them. Who will be in the
    movie? Do you live near Tony?

  13. i would sya my favourite part in U2 is dan heatons. he is a friggin nut.
    hes mixing street and freestyle and gets crazy moves. like who rides
    backwards down like two 25 sets in a row, and like backward riding
    wheelgrabs off picnic tables. hes throwing out nuts stuff these days.
    and as for U3, i know Dan is out there right now filming for a new
    video. still not sure if its gonna be called U3 or not. probably. but in
    like 11 days, i'll be filming with him for a week for my part. and dont
    forget about jeff groves video "spaced out". its gonna be available
    through darren bedford and syko productions i believe. i think the video
    is all done and it should be out by the end of august. ive seen some
    parts and it kicks ass! the music isnt as hardcore as in the universe
    movies, and the editing for the parts ive seen is awesome. i love jeff
    groves style for movies. anyway, make sure to get that. ive seen my part
    and it is pretty good. huge one footers down sets. so get it when it
    comes out!

    peace, Kevin

  15. i havn't seen universe 1, but im willing to bet that this is possibly
    the best unicycling video of all time, ( mwhich would make it better
    than universe 1.) i ordered my copy from unicycle.com, tho

  16. I got mine from Syko Productions. It seemed to work just fine. No
    problem getting it at all.
    I think my favorite part of the film is the bonus feature on the DVD
    (was it an easter egg?) with the deleted scenes of the cool riding where
    the music is very quiet and you get a chance to hear the creaking of the
    cranks and the sound of the wheel hitting pavement and going through the
    underbrush, etc. It's a zen moment for me.

    I also liked the music from this one better than from Universe 1. A
    little more variety (even if it was still too hardcore for me).

    Im sure that we'll be in touch a.s.a.p if we need that footage, thanks
    for the offer andrew 🙂 so far, the plan is to try and feature most of
    new zealands riders, to try develop some exposure for the sport, being
    that its still really new here. there will probably be some main focus
    on the skilled riders, in the same vain as universe i think, with me,
    pete marchant, tony, ken, peter b and ben sarten. i am actually in
    wellington at the moment, so quite a few hours away from tony, but we
    did do a road trip up to see him last weekend, which was awesome. we
    also hope to make a few parodies, one of 'rough terrain unicycling' by
    george peck, and maybe of 'unizaba' in which we will find some similar
    terrain and re-work the narrations...if we are allowed. should be a good
    release, im currently designing the covers, and i'll post them up here
    once i get back to my computer.

    I don't mean to be rude, but I thought this post brought up an
    interesting point.

    This post contains 11 commas, 5 contraction (none of which using an
    apostrophe), about 17 proper nouns (with no capitalization whatsoever),
    five topics, and not a single period.

    If what we have to say is worth saying, then it's worth saying
    coherantly. I'm not asking for perfection, but I think it would make the
    forums more pleasent if some people made a little more effort to make
    their posts both readable, and worth reading.
