  1. alrite so im not sure if there has been a thread for one of these yet,
    but im sure there has been, so here is a new one,

    So basically, Do a drop, measurre it in ft and inches and it has to be
    video taped and posted on here, and you have to measure it on tape to.

    You can just hop off of it or do a rolling hop, but none of those drops
    where your crank is on the ledge and u hop off,

    I dont know how to make those trophy things but ill figure out soon and
    you can post that in your sig. Unless some one wants to make one for
    it,

    Im prety sure the world record is 10 ft so it would be cool if some one
    could get that,

    The competion ends July 1.

    I plan on being in this competion if i get my new uni soon, but not now
    tho, cus i have a torker lx and ive alredy done a 4ft drop on that and
    bent the cranks and nowit makes a popping noise everytime i pedal :p

    I'm pretty sure the world record is bigger than 3m, if their is an
    official record.

    Good luck to everyone who wants to put their bodies and unicycles on
    the line to win.

    drop, i just have to wear my bicycling shorts.

  5. I might be in if I get a reliable uni any time soon.
    The record is a lot higher than 10. I've done ten. I think the record
    is Kris with 17.

    guts to try jumping off something so big.

    Was this measured? Drops can seem a lot higher than they actually are.
    I've ridden a 10 foot tall unicycle and I can't really imagine anyone
    doing a drop any bigger than that on their unicycle, without the wheel
    collapsing entirely.

    turn off my comp because of an electric storm... but it's there.
