    Well, I finally got my computer really working again (I'd been using my
    mac earlier). So, I uploaded some short trials video clips. There's two
    of me doing a gap line on my gapping bars, and one of me rolling hopping
    up a 4 set. There's one of me doing a line with a balance beam ride into
    a pedalgrab on a 6x8 into a skinny ride. I wanted to make the line go
    farther, but I never got the rest of it landed in one piece. Ce la vie.
    Mostly rolling hops, purely concidental. Also a few other clips. Some of
    them are sideways, sorry. Anyways, enjoy (And I'd love some feedback).

    Cheers,
    Bevan

    P.S. Here's the link: 'My Gallery'
    (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/Trials-Muni) Once there click on Trials
    Video Clips. All videos are MPG format.

    Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
    army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown
    out?

    Excellent stuff, thanks for sharing. I like the way you've supported
    your post (your version of what I called a hopping post on
    www.unicycle.2ya.com). I might try that design for some new obstacles
    I'm building for this Australia Zoo demo. In fact, I'm going to do that
    right now. 🙂

    I'll add a few pictures of my new obstacles in a day or two if you want.
    Thanks for the input. BTW, those 2x4s are about 8 or 9" long, and those
    are 45 degree angled cuts on the ends so I can get an extra few inches'
    of support out of the same length of wood. The post is 11" tall so taht
    one can parctice pedalgrabs onto it and it's not unnerving. Hops onto it
    are trivial. It's not ideal for pedalgrabbing in a trials line, as your
    tire tends to hit the supports, but that's better since it makes you go
    straight to rubber.

    Well I just wrote I big paragraph about the post I just made but it was
    wiped. So here's a brief summary...

    I built a post, it's 400mm high, 250mm long support pieces, fixed in
    place with glue and two screws per piece, will brace more when glue
    dries, post is 90x90mm.

    I have another 90x90x600 piece I cut down today and about 1.2m left to
    play around with.

    What I really want is to be able to permanently cement these posts about
    500mm into the ground and have a big range of lines and heights to hop
    around on...not 'till I get my own house I think.

    Here's a photo of the post at this stage. I'll probably add more
    bracing tomorrow and then test it out.

    Andrew

    I like the post, but I think the support poles should be longer. I make
    mine at least 1/2 as long as the main post. Also, you could save wood by
    cutting the wood at 45 degree angles. Then, you could save about 6" of
    wood on the entire project. At least for me, it makes a difference.
    After two projects that's 12" of wood. Also, it's usually best to leave
    the wood unpainted (in my opinion), since paint shows tire marks better.
    But yeas, if you must paint it, bedford orange would be nice.

    The supports are at least half the length of the post. The camera is
    playing tricks on the perspective a little. I didn't paint it...the
    post came like that.
