    Today was a great day. Well it actually started off terrible but picked
    up. This morning I went out on a muni ride with a friend of mine only
    to find that my favourite trail (a beautiful steep, technical
    singletrail) has been turned into a boring fire trail! It had been my
    goal for about a year and a half to ride it all in one go without
    falling and I never got the chance to accomplish it. 🙁

    But then we realised that the recent bush fire on Mt Cootha has left a
    wonderful black hillside with all the rocks exposed. So we did the
    first freeride style muni we'd ever done. I really enjoyed it.

    Anyway onto the video...

    Straight after this muni ride I went to the local school fete to join in
    for some very informal bike demos. They had a great northshore setup
    there and I spent hours riding around on it. Here's what I filmed...

    great video Andrew, and some even greater riding. Nice tumble at the
    end. Did you break the supporting wood underneath? That
    looked...heinous.

    That's an interesting comment. The music in the video is actually part
    of a song that our band recorded.

    I seem to remember that you've been using Windows Movie Maker to edit
    your video...that's right isn't it? If so it sounds like you've saved
    it as something along the lines of what they call "High quality video
    (small)". The way I saved mine (you may have ot have Movie Maker 2 to
    do this, not sure) was to select the file size I wanted. I thought 3MB
    was reasonable, so Movie Maker set the rest accordingly.

    All the smaller video tutorials at unicycle.2ya.com are saved as "High
    quality video (small)".

    Yeah that's right. Actually the song in the video is a rough cut
    version of the one we've recorded...I think they (our sax player and her
    colleagues at uni) still have some post production stuff to do to it for
    an assessment.

    Well we do one or two of these northshore type demos at local school
    fetes through the bike shop and the MTB club. And most of the other
    demos I'm involved in are through the Brisbane Bike Trials club. I
    found a bike trials competition some months ago and have done about 5
    competitions since then. I've met a whole bunch of really nice bike
    trials riders, some of who organise these demos. So they just call me
    up when there's a demo on.

    Hey Andrew,

    That was great!

    The riding was great (I especially liked how you cranked up that
    sloping round pole twice),

    the video was great (nice how you just included picking up the uni at
    the end, "no injury" is the message),

    the compilation jpg is handy (thanks for making that on so many
    occasions),

    and I quite like your band's music!

    That's all for tonight.
