Gratuitous violence against drinks cans

mark williamson · 2006-09-15T18:09:50+00:00

I've been having an unreasonable amount of fun crushing cans during breaks at the office and we grabbed some vids :-) They're not meant to be well edited, and the riding's not good but it's a great way of relieving stres. Disclaimer: if you try this at home you may break your tyre / your unicycle / yourself / the floor 'My album' (http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery/?g2_itemId=284632) PS: We moved to an old road for the later attempts in case the cans scratched the paving, although it didn't cause any very noticeable marking. I was hoping the 29er muni would have a chunky enough tyre that the cans wouldn't stick to it - I was wrong: despite trying an idle, that can just stayed stuck. PPS: Would love to ride my 36er over some cans but *really* don't want to get a puncture on that! PPPS: Yeah, the 29er shots happened after a stressful afternoon, which is why I'm making growling noises. Don't worry - no cans were harmed in the making of these videos, I love cans, really! -- mark williamson Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no pedals!

haha that made me crack up when you ran back and yelled and started
smashing the cans with your uni.
If you feel like wasting a few good cokes you should shake em up then
lay em out like that and run em all over.

But did you fall off like I did? I'm not really sure if I fell off
because of the can, or because of the silly noise :-) It wouldn't come
off the 29er tyre even though I put an idle!

That's actually quite tempting, although it seems a shame to waste all
that sugary goodness! Maybe if I did it with diet drinks ;-) Actually
the amount of caffeine originally contained in those cans might go some
way to explaining my strange behaviour...
Any other suggestions for things I can destroy with a uni? It's quite
good fun, and a good stress reliever!
