900 uni-spin competition

peleschramm · 2008-02-27T16:22:46+00:00

I took the initiative of finally starting a much needed competition for the 900 unispin. The rules are pretty much the same as all the other competitions. Though you can join in at any time, it would be preferred if you mentioned joining the competition beforehand. You must get it on video. You can use as many hops as you wish, as long as you are on the unicycle or in the air the entire time and you eventually ride out of it. In addition, the unicycle you are riding must have a 20 inch wheel or more. No using cheap-a** 16 inch unis or something. Good luck to you all, and let the competition begin! -- peleschramm http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=peleproductions unicycle for atheism. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peleschramm's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14077 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/68031 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Haha how about not. I dont think you were serious about the freestyle
unis, but im going to have to be opposed to that rule, u spins feel
terrible on trials unis, in my opinion. Though if the majority says no
freestyle it would b only fair to go with that...
and about your seat, stop blaming me and get a cf base! 😉

I'm pretty sure that if I had a freestyle I'd have a good chance at
900's.
So whats everyone think, no freestyles for the comp or what?
And yeah I'll look into getting a carbon soon, wont be anytime soon at
all though, my parents credit card is maxed so I can't order one for a
while.

That would be stupid if you couldn't use a freestyle uni. I say it
doesn't matter as long as it has a 20" (or 19", w/e...) and is a
unicycle.

I think it was bobouse who said that freestyle unis were harder for him
2 spin. Have you ever tried to spin a freestyle. From what i
understand, its whatever your used to. That may be wrong, but i sure
dont know. Its everyone elses call. If freestyles are gone then i may
as well just drop out, since i never even practice spins on a trials.

I find that spinning on trials unis helps dramatically increase the
speed in which I spin a freestyle. Try practising with the trials,
cause it sure helps me.. I gave my freestyle longer cranks though..
Dont drop out.. allow freestyles..

I think a freestyle uni should be allowed. If they weren't allowed in
this "competition" would that stop you from trying to learn them? You
would still be the first to do it.
According to maxxis.com, a creepy crawler weighs 670grams, from
koxx-one.com a tryall weighs 1050 grams and 2.1 primo wall tire weighs
about 850 grams according to danscomp. So depending on the freestyle
setup, the weight difference may not even be an advantage.
(Also the cotterless hub/cranks are lighter than splined but they are
in the center of the wheel so it won't make as much of a difference as
the tire when spinning it.)

Ah ok, that makes sense. That's why I went and found the tryall weight
too because it didn't look right.
But it still isn't too much of a difference considering a lot of people
are shaving trials tires now.

I think if you have at least a 20" wheel and do a 900 u spin I am going
to be impressed. Go for any uni over 20". Gl to those that are in this
I am prepared to be amazed.

ok, has anyone done a 900 unispin?
no
who really cares what its done on, of course a 16" doesn't count... but
it would be good practice... considering i've done a 720 spin on one
and i have never landed a 540.

lol
it was a fluke. i tried it again and the unicycle(which was at a bike
shop, brand new) went skidding across the store... much to my dismay...
that was my last attempt.
9/10 of my problem is being weary of metal pedals and long cranks...
16"ers don't normally have either of those...
