    The Seattle group frequently goes to Gasworks Park for trials unicycling
    rides. Yesterday we had five riders with trials unicycles, two Coker
    riders, Andy who we had never met before who brought a MUni, Pete Peron
    who came by just for grins, and Brian Kemper who showed up just to drop
    off my Coker.

    I took a few videos with my new toy. 'The trials videos are posted
    here.' (http://tinyurl.com/6y6ac) The most interesting is the one of
    Sabin coasting titled "SabinCoast3Airplane" because of the conditions.
    There was a seaplane flying overhead because they land close by on Lake
    Union. Sabin was coasting with his arms out while this video was taken
    and the airplane engine is the background noise. The Doppler shift even
    worked out correctly with both the seaplane and Sabin moving away from
    me at the same time.

    Keep in mind, these are weenie trials videos except for the ones of
    Sabin who is the only real rider among us. He even taught me to ride
    stairs backwards yesterday. That was weird.

    Thanks for the pics and video Greg,

    I really enjoyed that ride. I guess we'll have to find some bigger
    stairsets for you to ride down🙂

    Hey, Mike, I was running the camera. Those other lazy slobs wouldn't
    film me when I COMPLETED the tank line and when I DID the five set
    backwards. I don't think I did any more than a three foot drop all day,
    but I did it twice so that counts as six feet.

    We try to organize rides weekly. Next Sunday is a Coker ride for the
    Chilly Hilly bike ride on Bainbridge Island. We set up lots of MUni
    rides, trials rides, and urban Coker rides.

    If you include all the riders that showed up the cumulative age was over
    300 years and cumulative uni experience had to be over 100 years.

    You'd think we'd be better than that. I think Sabin is sucking all the
    talent out of us. Some kind of Talent Sink.
