    ehh i didnt make this up but it takes twice the man (or woman) to ride
    half the bike and im sure everybody agrees

    unicycle isnt a hobby, its a life style

  5. All joking aside, I took a spin on this seat and it feels rather nice.
    I'm used to using an air seat and I'm looking forward to something a
    little less stuffy in the front.

  6. The duct tape and bare foam look slightly out of place on a DM frame
    with a Thompson seatpost (and CF reinforcement plate?). Appears
    comfortable though.

    It's no good being Polish unless you prove it once a day.

    Ha... was waiting for that observation. Actually a Hunter frame and
    Scott Wallis seat base, which makes it even more pitiful.... and more
    irresistible to ride without having the seat cover.

  8. Hunter, eh? Looks a lot like the DM Vortex. I wouldn't know though,
    having never seen either in person. You're lucky to have, both, a great
    unicycle, and a great place to ride (the Ozarks).

  9. What kind of foam are you using?
    The search for the ideal seat foam is a never ending quest.

    I cut those out of a piece of dense foam I found on a construction
    site, a little firm but I plan on swaping out the top layer for
    something softer. It still felt good to me the way it's pictured while
    on the preliminary coverless test run, I've used an air seat for
    several years and never realized how much that tube puckers against
    your package.

    I had a brake mount welded to an old road handle and it's still taking
    paint but can't wait to bolt it on and try it out.
