The third trick on this clip is a leg wrap (also known as a seat wrap,
cus it's the leg wrapping around the seat)

Hope that helped.

You're wrong. I did a seat wrap in that stack it up.

Is a seat wrap different to a leg wrap then?

Yes.

Seat wrap the seat goes around you. Leg wraps your legs go around the
seat.

Oh right. Sorry to Emile then, you were right. And sorry to
1wheelwonder for giving you incorrect information!

EDIT - Also, Emile, do you think you could find a clip of someone doing
a leg wrap so that !wheelwonder can see what it is?

There you go: http://www.vimeo.com/764532

The first clip is a Double leg around to step over. Then triple leg
around.

I was just looking through the Zenoth Productions Vimeo page and that
was the next clip I was going to watch!
Are they your clips?

Yes. Well, some are from Hugo, and others are from me.

Hugo has the pink uni.

My 'eBay cranks' arrived today. I found them for a fiver, posted. They
were described as 4inch cranks, so I was intrigued to find out what
they would actually be and how they rode. Well they are 102mm, which is
pretty short! They are very hard to get used. Difficult is probably the
most appropriate word to use! You get a lot of power from each crank
stroke, but if your legs aren't very strong then you'd find it hard to
get anywhere. I found that if I pull back a little too much when
mounting it would throw the unicycle behind me because my legs aren't
quite strong enough to pedal with such short cranks.
I'm not sure if I'll get used to them, but it's a good experiment.
Has anybody else had experience with really short cranks? Or does
anybody prefer it?

Today I got my first 'wheres the other wheel' comment. But it vexed me
because one of them (the three 11 year old girls) tried to knock me of
my unicycle.:(

I'm glad you are liking the 114s. I never really ever even got to use
them. I had them on my street uni for one ride but screwed up my arm
when they allowed the uni to escape out from under me while landing a
crankflip. The first thing I did when I got back was put my moments
back on.

They let you go CRAZY fast on a trials/street uni though and I actually
SIF side-hopped up a 30" ledge with them.

Saturday, 3/22/08, me, jim and jamey did a 46 mile coker ride! They were
completing their RTL qualifying and for me was _twice_ as far as I've
ever gone on a 36er! Hopefully Jamey will post some pics from the ride
soon. :D

Holy ****! ^^^^

I just managed to go 300ft twice in a row without falling off! I'm
ecstatic. Seat adjustment seemed to make a large difference, or
perhaps it was just my magic feather.
