  1. Yesterday morning I got the call that work was cancelled because of the
    rain. It made me happy. I spent a good part of the day lying in the
    hammock; the happiest place I know. I was listing to my "Hammock
    Music" playlist on the iPod and the happiest song I've ever heard came
    on. I thought it would go well in a unicycling movie, so I put on the
    happiest shirt I own and went riding...

    ...it was a happy day. 🙂

    For now I'll just post the low res version. I have twenty something MB
    DivX version saved, but the internet is running slowly today.

    I was once again trying to force myself to roll more of the lines
    rather than hopping. I'm slowly getting better at it and I do enjoy it
    more...it's very satisfying when you clean a line that way. Missing a
    spoke and having the wheel constantly rubbing on the side of the frame
    didn't help though.

    Enjoy,
    Andrew

  2. Nice! Well, that makes me feel better about just about everything. 🙂

    The well-timed fly buzz added to the day-off ambience - thanks for the
    mini-vacation!

    I'm always fantasising about buying a big block of land on terrain like
    this and having my own muni playground in there. 🙂

    See attachment. It's only short at this stage because I'm very
    particular about what qualifies as hammock music and what doesn't. For
    some reason the song in the movie is missing from the list...I thought
    it was on there. I guess it's only on the iPod.

    I knew someone would ask me that. My brother had it and I didn't want
    to let that stop me from a fun muni ride...now tell me I was wrong! 🙂

    started three days ago, there's plenty left to share.

  9. Whoa, Andrew, nice playlist. I was reading along, looking at all the
    jazz (Buena Vista Social Club and Charlie Hunter, woot!), and then you
    have -Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness -on there. Bravo. I love
    eclectic music collections, and especially playlists that "mix it up".
    Rock on.

  11. Ha ha, someone did comment on the lack of helmet.

    That was my first thought, when I saw the pix in the thread. I didn't
    want to mention it, because I've bugged Andrew about it before, but
    this time didn't want to appear a nag. But since it was brought up by
    someone else...

    BTW, your link in your signature to "Dancing with Architecture" comes
    up with no site found.

    I will check the vid at school on Monday. At home we are on dial up.
    (sigh)

  12. Andrew--

    For ultimate hammock music you'll need (IMO) to add a little Brazilian
    "Bahia" music. Dial up "O Leaozinho," (or anything else for that
    matter) by Caetano Veloso. Gal Costa, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and
    Gilberto Gil are also fine.

    Great riding, as usual . . .

  13. Nice relaxing video Andrew. Did you play the music from loudspeakers
    while riding down that slope? You were making some twisting moves that
    fit the rythm very well.

    Next time, make the movie a little longer.

    My favourite on your playlist is Miles Davis.

  14. That must be nice having mountains/hills with rocks that are large
    enough to jump onto.

    I have sand dunes and shells 🙁

    Nice video BTW!

  15. Rod,
    I was actually waiting for a no helmet comment from you this time. 🙂
    I do where a helmet whenever I have one available though...I wore one
    today. The band's website it not yet constructed. I've finished
    designing it and now we just have to wait for our very own Brian
    Mackenzie to construct it for us. We've bought the domain though.

    John,
    Thanks, I had a listen to some of those, great hammock music!

    goldenchicken,
    You'd be surprised how often that happens just by chance! I plan to
    make another compilation movie like the big 8 minute long one I made
    back in 2004.

    burjzyntski,
    It is nice, but there are almost too many of them around these
    hills...what you see in the videos are the relatively clear spots. I
    went for a trials ride today in the more rocky sections.
