  1. today i did something pretty cool that all the [good] riders did about
    an eon ago. but still, i think it was fun doin it so it doesnt matter.
    So i went out and made a little jumping thing (with my brother) that
    had 3 2x4's parallel to each other and 3 bricks (2 square and one
    rectange) to one side of the 2x4's. each thing was about 1 to 1.5 feet
    apart (very simple). I tried and about the tenth time i tried i managed
    to do it securely. then within the next 3 tries i managed to do it in 6
    hops or one hop on each thing. this is probably the best thing i've
    done so far jumping-wise because my brother (who has been riding longer
    and is better than me) couldnt do it. anyway this is what it looked
    like VVVVV

    You can't get up and try it again if you don't fall first.

  4. I just jumped some gaps across some boards and bricks. I'm somewhat new
    to unicycling (maybe about 9-10 months) so it was cool to me that i
    could do it without pre-hopping on anything

    tried 5 pallettes and unbelievably i made it once...(dont ask how) but
    i swear to god mt seat was half way up my butt and i had like 35 PSI in
    my tire...what PSI do you ride your tire and what type of uni/uni's do

  8. I think that's the best way to learn. It's great fun making yourself
    more and more difficult and technical lines that you can try over and
    over again without worrying about hurting yourself because they're less
    than a foot off the ground... in theory anyway -
