  1. Hey.

    I went on a cool little trials ride in a local park on Sunday, and took
    my digital camera and captured a few videos. One was a 32" sidehop (a
    personal record). Another was a ~21" hop to an armrest followed by a
    ~13" hop to a ledge. The final was an awkward 39" (near my record)
    pedalgrab onto a large square column. It was awkward because I had to
    make sure not to hit a stair on the prehop. I also ahve a ~5' gap on
    video, but it's nothing special so I won't bother putting it up.

    The link is: http://gallery.unicyclist.com/album294 . The videos are
    titled like "32" sidehop," "39" pedalgrab," and like "armrest jump to
    ledge."

    Enjoy.

    Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
    army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown
    out?

    Vote Kerry. Yeah, they both suck, but Kerry sucks less.

  2. Awesome stuff. I liked the hopping and landing on the armrest
    perpendicular to it. Very nice.

    That was the hardest line. The first jump was easy, but then going to
    the next jump immediately was very hard. Big hops are hard due to the
    amount of practice it takes to get them, but by the time you get over
    30" it seems they become a function of strength more than technique. The
    pedalgrab was just intimidating.
