130cm pedal grab video.

Come on Alex, that's just plain rude. I asked you not 15 minutes ago to
let me upload the video to unicyclist.com before making this thread.

Uploading now.

it was about 8' off the top of the cabin...

my seat turned after i landed on that one... thats why i rode off
funny... keep you seatpost tight... and seat lowish. and always try and
roll out of them.

for drops. esp like the crazy ones french yoggi does. you need to be
really strong. to keep as solid, yet shock absorbing as possible. it
takes strength ive found.

my, profile cranks arent the same either... this drop is in their 'i
want them to break so i can get straight ones again' stage of
performance., hence the big drops

I love the Tomflip trick! Very innovative! (Is 'Tomflip' your name for
the trick or Andrew's?)

It looks like you land your 130cm pedal grab with your rear pedal. Is
this true? Doesn't it make the hop to rubber extremely off-balance and
awkward? I first learnt crank grabbing with my rear pedal then when I
tried to do seat out pedal grabs on the rear pedal I found the hop up to
rubber really awkward. So much so that I learnt to grab with my
chocolate (forward) foot. I wonder if I could have saved myself the
trouble of re-learning this skill... I'll have to go and try rear pedal
grabs again.

I do it with my rear pedal, but I use the crankflip technique.
After you land on the object with your back pedal, bring the free pedal
up behind, so now the pedal on the object is in front. Then pull the uni
up and jump at the same time, so the wheel turns 180 degrees, and land
with your pedals in the right position again.

Not only does it work, but it also looks really sweet.

i pull up the uni from back foot. its way less effect than the way
everyone else does it.... but i can do 130cm this way (onto walls and
whatnot) so that kinda makes up for it.

the only thing it sucks on is posts. i cant really get up to posts vary
well at all... if i need to get up to one, ill switch sides, and feet.

nah you didnt waste any time re-learning the skill. to know how to do it
both feet is way better than only being able to do it with one foot.
even if either are a little less effective than if you only learn
once.

I can't. But I've heard that the guy who invented it, Mike Middleton(I
think) can do it on to things about 8cmx8cm.

Nice pedalgrab. Super big.

Last I heard Kris' record is about 114cm. Ryan's is off the charts.

I seem to remember Mike Middleto9n doing this kind of grab onto the top
of a 4x4 (3.5"x3.5"😉. I am sure he's done it onto stuff as small as
5.5"x7.5".
