  1. Last night, it was very bad weather, -10, lots of snow, and it was
    blowing lite crazy.

    Anyway, on my way back (at 03:20), it was all calm, with 5 cm of powder
    snow in the ground. I didn't think of it as much, but when i came to
    make a turn, i realised, i could actualy slide with my uni. 😄

    Maby it's not much, but it was loads of fun.

    I tried to take a picture of the best one (a allmost 2 meter long 10 cm
    wide track wich turned about 90 degrees), but of course, the battery was
    flat! (we've heard thatone before, haven't we?) 🙁

    Edit: it is the upper one of the two tracks that is mine.

  2. Sweet! Do you use chains, studs, a knobby tire, or just a street tire?
    I rode all last winter here in Quebec on a street tire, and I'm looking
    forward to the winter with my muni now (except that it's a thunderstorm
    outside... It's almost december!?!?!?!)

    Never kick a unicyclist in the groin... it will only make them grow
    stronger...

    Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
    obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
    through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
    its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
    remain.

    I slide about 10 feet of the 25'...

  5. Right after it rains, my friends and I go on 'mud runs.' Basically
    downhill MUni in the mud. It's soooo much fun!

    Crank flips is a name already assigned to a certain skill, you must use
    a different name. I call these crank spins, but I'm sure they get called
    other things (the ones where your feet are on the pedals). I also highly
    doubt that you were able to spray snow anywhere close to 25 feet. That's
    around 7.6m, or around say 4 average-height men lying on the ground.
