  1. At the local park yesterday practicing and goofing around, and came up
    with a fun little video. Newest member of the "South Bay Uni-sykos",
    Perry, met me there and we had a blast just picking out stuff that
    looked interesting and went for it. What's pretty amazing is that Perry
    is a total beginner to trialsy/street-type stuff, having previously
    rode only his old schwinn 20" doing just the "basics".

    By challenging himself to the limit, he landed some stuff that took me
    weeks to land. -He- did it in about 10 minutes! The video also has a
    brief cameo by his Mom Francela near the beginning, trying her had...or
    should I say -feet-, at riding a uni. She's gonna learn quick! As I
    told her, "You have a nice "Uni-form!"

    What makes Perry's fast accomplishments all the more fantastic, is that
    he's learning it ALL on a 24" wheel! (He wants to also get a 20".) He
    can ride a Coker now after only a few hours practice. Way to go Perry!
    😄

    also, how old is perry?

    one more thing,

    I W A N T T O C O M E !

    his mom will totally be able to ride in like 3 hours.

    Perry is 14. He and his Mom (Francela) rides muni with me at the local
    trails about 3-5 times per week. He's getting better really fast! I
    still haven't heard from John Long about this Saturday, or gotten
    directions, so I will probably ride muni in the OC area with Jim
    instead. CAn you come this Sat?? I stll wanna come out there to your
    area

    spam.

    Pardon, sir? This is not spam...the kind of continued, long-lasting
    enthusiasm for even the relatively easiest of accomplishments
    exemplified in this video is what sets us apart from most commercial
    sports...with the elitist attitude that you're exhibiting, we can only
    go downhill.

    If people aren't pumped that they learned how to ride whats going to
    motivate them to learn more. and what proof do you have that people
    hate the*i*r forums. first of all, If people hated their forums you
    might have somone agree with what you said, second they probally
    wouldn't be replying here.
