  1. I decided to do this 6 foot drop today. It looks really funny.

  3. Although it is easy to land a 6 footer to flat, you shouldn't have
    leaned forward so much to drop in your prep, and you seemed to just take
    the brunt of the landing in the legs, which cause the fatty nutbuster.
    Let everything above your hips collapse to catch you, not brunt the
    force with your legs, which can destroy cranks with ease....

  6. you should post that to gallery.unicyclist.com because your server is
    now giving us this message:
    Available bandwidth quota for this filesystem has been exceeded.
    (/wwr73/MVI_6330.avi)

    even though i saw this drop in person i'd like to have the video.

  9. Excellent camerawork!

    hah, I keep watching this over and over.

    Catboy's comment about collapsing is interesting. I'll have to give
    that some thought.

    Nice vid :p

    You can put it in the 'free4all gallery'
    (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/free4all). It's a special gallery that
    everyone has permission to add stuff to (but you can't later delete it
    or do other changes).

    Right now the newer accounts here don't have access to the gallery.
    Gilby is working on that and will have it fixed soon. Till then you can
    use the free4all gallery.

  16. seems like you tried to jump way too far laterally. if you had just
    hopped like 18 inches off the thing you might've made it. also catboy
    had some good ideas.

    You now have a gallery account. So you should be able to create an album
    to upload your stuff. 🙂
