  1. I just downloaded this cool program Google Sketchup that lets you create
    objects in 3d REALLY FAST and really easy.

    I thought it would be fun to see how easy it would be to create a
    accurate unicycle model. I think it went pretty well.

    check it out.

    Also what do you think of my crown design?

  4. Cool 3D drawings! The fork stands look very good for standup skills, but
    bad for your knees. They would likely get in the way for normal and
    seat in front type riding. What about something like a big (2"?) ring
    around the base of the seat tube?

  5. I have Sketchup 5. It's a great program. Google definately knows what to
    buy. Have you used the google earth plugin?

    knees.... but they would be awsome for stand up stuff.!!!

    I don't think they would get in the way, I designed them to stick out
    the same as the points on a normal square crown uni. In any case it
    was really fun to design.

    Google Earth is really cool, but you should use it with sketchup.
    Google bought sketchup so that you can use both programs together to
    build things in sketchup and put them in google earth to show things
    like landscaping for a house or a new building and such.
    Autodesk inventor kicks ass as well, and it's more accurate than
    sketchup but harder to use. But for people like me: the harder the
    challenge, the more fun you have.
