    today i went to one of the local nature parks for the first time to see
    if i could find any cool lines, which i did, many of which will keep me
    going for some time but one thing i found was that i got tired much
    quicker than when i ride the same difficulty of obstacles on the
    street.

    After a while i thought that this may be because when hoping across
    natural obsatcles the surfaces are never completly flat like in urban
    trials so u often have to land on a less appropiate spot then instanlt
    "huck" up to the good spot before you move onto the next rock.

    Anyway has anybody else noticed the fact that riding on natural trials
    takes far more stamina then urban trials, or is it just me??

    thanks
    the juggler

    great isn't it!

    Not only is there no time to rest, often the lines are longer than urban
    trials lines! Also, what's nice is natural trials lines are much less
    intimidating. In urban, a 24" hnandrail jump, followed immediately by a
    5' gap is super intimidating. Natural trials has lines just as
    difficult, but not nearly as intimidating.

    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.

    Yeah, good point. My favourite parts on all the unicycling movies are
    always the muni and natural trials sections.

    bevin: you need to come down to the harbour jetti with me and jason.
    these natural trials lines are very intimidating. try hopping on a few
    of the big jacks. (I'm sure you've already been down there...)

    Ohhhh, I've been there once with Nathan and Zack. I practically wet my
    pants on even the smallest hops. There's one gap I've been meaning to
    look back at. I just want to look at now that I've improved and see hyow
    intimidating it is (I didn't even consider trying it last time). Wilder
    ranch would be cool, too. BTW, I don't really consider the jacks at the
    jetty to be natural, although the rocks near there most definitely are.
