  1. A few weeks ago I upgraded my muni's seatbase to the ultimate: Scott
    Wallace's Carbon Fibre rail-less system, which (in case you're not
    aware) lets a nice bike seatpost like the Thomson attach directly to
    the base. I also bought one of his renowned Deathgrip handles and
    front-mounted brake adapters.

    I decided to make a sweet little stop motion video when I received his
    package in the mail. I also wanted to thank Scott for his amazing
    effort in progressing unicycling equipment, so the stop-motion turned
    into an "Ode to Scott" ! The video is in quicktime, and 14 mb's.

    It's also on my videos page:

    p.s. Everyone give Gilby a huge pat on the back for fixing one of his
    server's space limitations!

  4. Jess,

    Thank you for that creative tribute. I feel honored, and at the same
    time just a little creepy, but that’s okay. 🙂 Thanks for the
    endorsement. It’s great to have enthusiastic customers.

    I really liked the video regardless of the content. The seat/helicopter
    effect was cool. I kept waiting for Gumby and Pokey to appear, but that
    is probably lost on someone your age.

    Scott

    One question about your seat. Is it an air seat conversion or did you
    cut the foam down

    It made me chuckle... I had to watch it again. Cool viddy!

    I must admit I was dancing on clouds the day my package from "Wallis
    Design" came in. And I was singing his praises when I took it out for
    some trials riding. But I didn't get anything on tape, sorry Scott!

    have you taken it out for a ride yet?

    Most definitely! And yes, it rocks. My rail adapter system used to
    always come loose and was a pain to fix on the trail. With this setup,
    if it comes loose it's only 2 easily-accessable allen bolts. The
    deathgrip has already soothed my many calaces I got from my old Reeder.
    If you want to see me riding the new seat, check out the muni section
    in 'this' (http://unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47135) video.

    The cusion guts were made awhile ago by Zack Baldwin. There's a
    dogbone with a tube (your normal airseat), with the perfect thickness
    foam on top. The insides are smothered with a KH fusion cover. It's
    one of the most comfortable seat I've ever used!

    I'm glad you all enjoyed it, even if you were a little disturbed by me
    licking the seat! :p
