unicyclistjoe- Wellingtons Best Unicyclist? Haha, I seem to remember
schooling u on more than one trials line last night!
Must be pretty close ay, how do we settle it? See what the other RSU ppl
think?
K, everyone vote (pick me!), who's better judging by this non-bias and
extensive skills account
Petes skills:
-rolling hop: 55cm (but not consistent)
-static seat in or out: fifty something cm
-willing to jump up and over park benches (the ones where u have to
clear (or delicately land on top of) the back-rest bit)
-cleared park benches from the top (need photo really)
-done THAT skinnie across the water twice (photo pending)
-pretty good at seat out skills (dan heaton drop the seat down and flick
it back up move etc.)
-wheel walk about 15m
-1ft ww (at least) 5m
-PEDAL GRABS to rubber
-crank grabbed to something over a metre (once)
-50 hops on skinnie thing :p
-keen for semi-technical "somewhere under 1.5m" drops with gaps (ankles
won't take much higher)
-unbeaten in "annual civic square stairs race" (vs joe)
-not willing to ride skinnies where could be certain death or quite
likely ruining cellphone goin for swim at the drop of a hat
-drops in on quaterpipe at skateparks
-better at hoppin on wheel
-1ft ride easy, both feet... even along ledges
-best at extreme downhill MUni
-worse at extreme uphill MUni
-suicide mount on ledges
-consecutive crankflips
-seat drag for a few pedals
-owns more unicycles than joe (great skill to have)
Joes skills:
-rolling hop: 60cm (or thereabouts)
-static 50 something hops (bout the same?)
-not willing to clear the park benches
-habitually rides ludicrously high things that pete won't dare stand on
(or look at) never mind the uni
-hasn't done THAT skinnie across the water
-16 hops on skinnie thing (the things that stop cars from goin too far
in carparks)
-hasn't got much game with the "drop the seat" shinanigans
-can't pedal grab (more specifically, can't get up to rubber from pedal)
but CAN crank grab solidly (in places where a mistimed "jump to rubber"
could mean death!
-drops from stuff a foot or so higher than pete
-wheel walks about 5-10m further than pete and can get back to pedals
-1ft ww about the same
-tends to get more rounds of applause
-doesn't drop in at skatepark
-1ft ride easy, both feet... even along ledges... where a fall would be
reasonably disasterous (long drop to water with ledges and things to
fall on, on the way down)
-can gap a bit further than pete (lately, and slightly unconfirmed)
haha, thats almost everything
Oh, I go backwards a bit more often than him too. So does he deserve to
keep his avatar saying thing as "Wellingtons best"?
Yeah thought not :p
Pete
