onewheelmadness said:the diffrency betwwen wstreet and freestyle is that in free style it
envolve standing on the frame tricks and tricks that envolve moving
round the unicycle were street is done on concrete and envolves moving
with the unicycle unispins and that sort of trick well at least i think
Unispins are actually a part of freestyle. =p
Anyways, for me, Freestyle is not soo much about the tricks, but more
about the performance. The music, the clothing (costumes and stuff) and
the presentation. Of course, tricks do come in play. Look at the 10
freestyle lvls, and watch some freestyle videos, 'like this one'
(
), and youll get a good idea
of what freestyle is, and you can kinda see that its more artfully
done, and its like a dance.
Street kinda combined freestyle with trials, and people started taking
tricks to objects, off objects, and over objects. Street has really
grown a lot, and now there are tons of technical flips and spins. 'This
video ' (http://www.vimeo.com/822278)is a great example of street. He
doesnt do as many flip tricks as a lot of people, but its very
creative, and shows some great street riding, as does all his videos.
Now trials, its like an obstacle course. You have point a, and point b,
and obstacles in between. Rocks, logs, whatever, but its up to you to
navigate and jump across each obstacle to clear the line. Its my
favorite style of riding, and excites me the most. Why ride across the
bridge when I can hop across the rocks in the river? Its fun. This
vi'deo is a good example of trials riding (right click-save'
(http://www.sinco.hu/data/vid/sinco_zenjunkie.wmv) as)
The difference between the unis? Well, for street and trials, there
isnt much. The main thing is some people like a shorter crank length
for street, around 125mm, and for trials, people like a longer crank
length, around 135-145mm. Street riders also like a smoother rider, so
the fad going around right now is to shave their tires.
For freestyle, the unis use a smaller tire with a higher pressure,
shorter cranks, generally a higher seat, and all around a slimmer uni.
Just check out unicycle.com and look at their free style unis and their
trials unis and youll see the difference.
