    Riding style - Drops and rocky, technical stuff (although there's not
    really any tech riding on film).
    Music - "Push Out The Jive" by Dancing About Architecure

    There was a recent bush fire on a hill only a rew hundred metres from
    my house. It's wiped out all the low lying vegetation and left
    beautiful exposed rocks -everywhere!- It's also a lot steeper than I
    realised. I went riding there this morning and had the most fun I've
    had in months. I think I've got about a month before it grows back so
    I'm heading back next weekend at the very latest.

    It's fantastic to get back into muni after so long (a couple of months
    since regular riding). I can't wait to try out this hill with my new
    custom muni setup.

    This is just one of our weekly group rides. Fantastic atmosphere as
    you can see in the video. Five riders in the movie.

  2. I'm surprised you kept your balance on a couple of those rockier patches
    in the first vid. That was pretty sweet.

    I wish we had some sort of hills down here in Texas...nothin' but
    -flat- ground. At least where I am.

  4. Whoa! Cool video, Andrew. The riding the log is my favorite(cause I'm
    too scared to do it myself). Can I ask what size uni you are riding? I
    ride the Coker for MUni and wondered what would be best tire pressure
    for it. Thanks!

    P.S.
    I really need to make my own version of MUni also. :p

  7. That second one just doesn't want to be downloaded for me. It partly
    downloads, but then stops and tries to tell me it's complete. But it's
    not. I dunno. The first one was awesome though!

  8. CHYEAH! Way to go man. I really like the first video... some really tech
    muni there and the best thing is that it looks it too! Good job on
    pushin' the jive!😉

    edit: Didn't realise you had written the title of the track.. I thought
    I'd sound clever by naming it 🙄

  9. Thanks guys.

    I wish we had some sort of hills down here in Texas...nothin' but flat
    ground.

    - Wow, I don't think I could live there!

    Can I ask what size uni you are riding? I ride the Coker for MUni and
    wondered what would be best tire pressure for it. Thanks!

    - I'm riding a 24" with a 3" Nokian Gazzaloddi tyre. It has 160mm
    cranks which I think are ideal for the sort of riding I like. I've
    never done any Coker muni so I'd be kidding myself trying to suggest a
    tyre pressure. The only thing I can say is that it really does depend
    a lot of your riding style and the conditions you're riding in. If
    you're doing the sort of riding in these videos, I think it's best to
    have it as low as possible without the tyre folding over when you side
    hop up an incline. If you're doing more cross country riding I'd
    recommend something significantly higher so you don't have as much
    resistance. The Coker being so large means that the little bumbps on
    the trail don't effect you as much either. But, if you find yourself
    slipping when climbing or descending hills you may have your tyre
    pressure too high. That does tell you much...I'd recommend you ask
    Brian MacKenzie who is another regular here. He does some serious
    Coker muni! I'm sure he'd be willing to give advice.

    Good luck.

    That second one just doesn't want to be downloaded for me. It partly
    downloads, but then stops and tries to tell me it's complete. But it's
    not. I dunno.

    - Unfortunately I think this is a problem on your end. I have no idea
    how to resolve it.

    no i cant watch them, is there any other player you can put them on cuz
    i dont have quicktime. ?

    - The first of the two in the first movie is WMV, not MOV so you
    wouldn't need quicktime for it. Otherwise, there are a bunch of
    players that will play Quicktime movies including: the Quicktime
    player, The Core Media Player, Media Player Classic (those are just
    ones I use).

    ...and the funny thing is that nobody except me knows what you're
    talking about! 🙂 Thanks. It really is nice out there on all the
    rocks. I was grinning from ear to ear the whole time...the way it
    should be really. 🙂 More from the same hills next sunday at the very
    latest...maybe even today if I can find someone to ride with.

    Yeah. Dallas doesn't even really have great urban. I didn't get
    harassed by the cops when I rode though.
    I enjoyed riding "with traffic" in the city - but that's another sport
    altogether.

    Best urban in a city == Houston.

  18. 🙂 Hahaha. Wow, how do you know about that? It really is a nice
    atmosphere. The other thing is, the soil is really soft so landings on
    drops aren't quite as rough.

    I love it!
