    Which is better, balls or ankles? 🙂

    I think it was 2003 when Dylan Wallinger did a similar jump and broke a
    high-end Profile crank. I heard about it this way:
    "Dylan broke a Profile crank in a 9-foot jump from a toilet!"
    I was scratching my head, wondering where you get a 9' toilet. Yes,
    those little buildings at the Slickrock Trail parking lot are
    outhouses, and no, you don't want to be downwind!

    assuming you are talking about the guy in U2 then it was one of the
    outhouses near the one you jumped off. if not the same one.
    and john, i am pretty sure it was DM cranks he broke not profiles.

  13. It was definitely a Profile, some variant of the ones that came on the
    few unicycles at that time that had the axle and cranks. I can't
    remember if it was called a Profile Downhill crank, or a Profile
    Freeride crank, but definitely the info being passed around was
    Profile. As far as I know, the DM cranks only came in one kind.

    9' is a safe guess. People always "guesstimate" way too high. After Sem
    rode is 14' unicycle in the NAUCC Public Show, I heard a couple of
    locals describing a 40' unicycle they saw. They must think the gym was
    5-stories high inside. It looks like the riders gain a few inches by
    landing below the base of the outhouse, but not even half a foot.

    Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
    are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
    time do it along the way.
    Parafrasing a pro skater when asked for advise to kids who wanted to
    get much better and maybee turn pro one day.

    I think that was before the non-descript term "freeride" came into
    popularity. Now it's used everywhere. "Hey dude, I'm kinda hard on the
    keys...check out this new Apple Freeride keyboard I got for my Mac."
