Totally unposed photograph. I was riding through the forest, the uni "stalled" and I went airborne - bizarrely with my feet side by side, like a long jumper - and landed upright. I turned to look at the MUni:

Bah... if it had been me the uni would have ended up in that big puddle, with the seat and handle covered in foul-smelling slime.
Not fair...

Very nice! I recently got an excellent UPD on film, during a pedal grab. It looks excruciatingly painful, but it's not.

Wow. Looks like something spooked her. There's something down that trail you should be careful of.
Reminds me of the scene in "Clue"...

I was standing in the park wondering why frisbees get bigger as they get closer. Then it hit me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cyberbellum's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4550 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/34245

Hmm. On close inspection is there something under the left pedal? Is that the reason for the UPD or do I suspect a touch of sarcasm? 😉

No, straight up. I was riding along a tricky but not impossible path, muddy and bumpy, with a maze of ridges running between foul and bottomless puddles when suddenly I was airborne. No good reason - just fatigue and complacency. The uni stood like that because the metal handle embedded itself in the mud.
