Uni-vid: Yard Riding

Cool, I loved the trampoline riding. That and the hopping on the
ladder. Well done.

Nice vid, but what's with the big hole in your yard? Do your dogs like
to dig?

Slick riding, keep it up.

Interesting. You have a riding area which is unusual and rather awkward
compared to what most of us deal with, but it has lots of possibilities
for trials.

Stand-up wheel walk is far from impossible, although it does require a
lot of practice. (I'm still not very good at it.) Unless you have a
unicycle with a good, solid, square fork that you can stand on easily,
it is practically impossible to learn, though. When I tried it on my CX,
before I got the Nimbus II, I could just barely stand on the fork, but I
couldn't move at all, because there wasn't enough support. If you're
looking for advice on how to do this skill, check out what I wrote on
'the Unicyclopedia's freestyle page.' (http://tinyurl.com/4y69y) I have
links to five different videos of it there, too.

About that. Is the new 2005 KH 20" any good for stand up riding?

I´m planning on buying that and I want to be able to do some other stuff
than trials on it.

Liked the riding to, but it must be scary to have all the dogs around
you when you ride, I would be scared to hop on their tails by accident
or something.

I just looked at the picture on unicycle.com, and while the KH 20 would
not be ideal for stand-up skills and other freestyle moves, you
certainly would be able to learn almost anything on it. You might do
better to invest in a real freestyle unicycle though, if you want to get
serious about stand-up tricks and other skills of similar difficulty.

The hole was actually dug by me and my bros. one of three. We had one
that was over 9 feet deep but not very wide and to close tyo the fence.
We have another thats a little deeper than teh one in the vid for water
from teh washing machine, and we have teh one you saw thats 12x12 and
only 4 1/2 ft deep, it gets kinda boring out here🙁 . Ohh, and the
terain, i know its different and i really hate that, i prefer urban and
street but am stuck with this wasteland. But hey the mountains are like
5 mi. away😄 .

Nice kickup mount into ww. That was clean, makes me want to go try it.

The stand up wheel walk looks like the next freestyle trick I'm going to
work on. I'm decent at wheel walking, can get about 5 kicks with 1 ft
wheel walking, but stand up looks about on par with 1 foot wheel walk.

Does that sound right?

Stand-up ww is about 20x harder than one-footed ww. You really should be
able to glide before you start learning it, since you often do short
glides while stand-up wwing. It's a bit easier than sideways ww, but
definitely harder than backward ww and hand ww. The transitions are even
harder. (I still can't get out of it.)

It's standard skill list value is 5.0, which means it's about as hard as
side ride, backward one-footed wheel walk with the foot in back, and
hand wheel walk sitting on the seat with legs extended. One-footed wheel
walk is only 3.7.

I don't mean to discourage you- it's a great skill to learn- but you
should probably wait until you're a little better at easier wwing
variations.
