So what about Jeff Groves. Just the other day I came to a conclusion
about Jeff. In all of Ryan Atkin's movies I believe that Jeff cams. The
thing is though: They're always rearview mirror shots (if you know what
I mean) What's going on!?

P. P. S. S. P.: Jeff took dan home because Jeff can only drop and he's
been riding for like 8 years now...wow

What does that mean? Either the videoes are lying or you're wrong and
Jeff can do a LOT more than dropping off stuff.

Yo I hate to be truthful to all those jeff fans, but watch the movie
again. He's not very good. It opens with a 20" foward rollin hop. Childs
play. Then after abotu 15 ryan clips, going to him jumping and "droping"
a not so big distance, come on! Then goes to a weak 15 inch pedal stall
on a rock, and hops out of it. Then goes from rock to rock about a 20
inch gap. Then does a huge "drop" to a picnic table "drops" off that,
then "drops" over a few stairs.The shot goes to a narrow path (skinny),
and "drops" for a van. Then he BC wheels.
After the BC wheel he does another little rollin hop about 20 inches
again. Short gap, short gap, short gap, short gap, then weak shifty. Ok
what the heck was that. I wouldn't even put that in my movie, let alone
in universe 2. After that he does do a long foward gap, which is good,
but it's a 2 foot drop onto something. So that takes away the skill, but
alittle bit higher extreme. That's what i will give him.
After that he does alittle table on what they try to make look like a
vert. wall. Ha, i think they were running out of material. Ok the next
is funny. Narrow pathing on a wide handrail/wall thing. w/e, alittle
hops inbetween then he "drops" wow! ha. that's it folks. So for those
jeff fans, i'm sorry... They say he's been riding for 7
years!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's really funny.

Hey Everybody,

Yeah, it's true, i'm already on my feet and healing much faster than
thought. I'll explain a little bit more in another thread.

Now, to respond to a few of the Jeff Groves hecklers...

First off, Jeff is an awesome rider. I do admit that his part in
UNiVERsE 2 did lack a bit, but this was due more to the fact of limited
time to film and just not finding good lines for him. I had to put some
shots in that I really didn't want to. Jeff is a much better rider than
the video shows.

Also, sometimes it is a lot harder to display the full difficulty of
moves on video, like awkward take offs and landings. That rock gap is
much farther than "20 inches". That wall is also almost completely
vertical...

I've seen a lot of beginner riders that do 6+ foot drops, but can barely
ride away from them. Frankly, those types of things really are not that
difficult and I don't care much for them anymore. Jeff is one of those
guys that can actually ride the unicycle well and you'll see in upcoming
vids that he has a lot more up his sleeve.

When I look for people to film I look for people who have a lot of
experience riding, have good attitudes, who are devoted to the sport and
who are great guys to be around. I'd put Jeff in my vids any day.

I sense a tinge of jealousy among all of you "Jeff Realists." What he
can and can't do is irrelevant, in the end he's a rider just like the
rest of us. I'm sorry you haven't been able to make a name for youself
in the uni community and are still so bitter about it riderboy, but i'm
pretty sure trying to belittle Jeff isn't the best way to go about it.
Last time I checked this was a forum where people could get advice, so
instead of telling us what Jeff can't do why don't you offer up some of
your "Expert Advice" and tell Jeff what he should do and how to do it.
Get over yourself,
Zac

p.s. When you decide to 'show Jeff how it's done' be sure to include
some clips of you doing all the stuff Jeff can't.

That is right🙂......

why should other people compare and compete against other riders (except
for in a compotition)......"truthfulblah" and "riderboy" should just lay
off and worry about improving their own riding.

Hey Sabin, that link didn't work for me. Dang.

truthfulblah: You're just as much of a fool as riderboy, and that's
saying something. Or is it the same person? Have you ever ridden with
any of the people you talk about? Screw the videos, you can't talk until
you've seen him in person. He's amazing! At moab he killed me on the
trials course, and that course sure as hell wasn't a bunch of 20" hops
and small drops. If all you're playing off of is U2, then you can't say
anything. Jeff and Dan have both said that some of the footage in that
section was mediocre, but still, that doesn't make Ryan or Jeff mediocre
riders. They had like 2 days to film, which really isn't enough.

The logic behind Jeff taking Dan home -because- Jeff can only drop has
to be seen as stupid in the first place.

Anyway, I've been riding for longer than Dan Heaton and Ryan Atkins
combined and I still suck so "riderboy" should save all his sarcastic
"wows" for me!

yeah DROPS suck anyone can do drops like Dan said they aint hard doing a
drop and landing smoothly is a skill but anyone can land [censored] with out a
role out, it's going up stuff thats hard! Just go out and ride your uni
and if you meet these guys you will see they could kick your ass with a
broken leg!

Ressurection? I've seen it a bunch of times. I've also seen the post
line. The hard part about those kinds of pedalgrabs is that you're
really only going to rubber from the outer two pins on you pedal, so you
have the tire scrubbing when you jump a lot of the time. It was
impressive, but I myself was much more impressed by Ryan's gaps on those
handrails that were like 1.5m apart. I can barely make one of those
(assuming I don't chicken out), and he did like four of them.
