Mathias from wheelzword was near as well as members swiss wheelers. Great ride. Love how you folks in France can get so many together and freely go wherever you like. Good music too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe my wife will like the bluetooth speaker feature when her new KS14C arrives. In fact that might be the only thing she appreciates! Learning to ride a wheel will be a huge challenge as perseverance is not her strong suit! If she becomes scared during the teaching process I will simply be the owner of another wheel!

That would not only help a lot to alleviate fear, but be completely practical in the less spooky realm of whether or not you're going to really get hurt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Marty Backe Posted May 30, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2017 @swvision posted this video in another thread, but I think it needs wider coverage (I haven't seen it here before - hope I'm not duplicating a posting). Don't miss the unicycle trick in the last 10 seconds. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did some shots on the sidewalk and going between runners that couldn't be done practically any other way. Dollies and steadicam operators on foot can't go that fast, any other vehicle is too big or cumbersome to go between people safely. A cable cam could go fast, but it's limited to the cable 'track' and it's much more time-consuming and expensive. And yes. Unicycling 20mph while wearing a $20k of gear was a bit nerve wracking, but I did a dry run to check for potential bumps that could throw me off, and it all went smoothly.

Maybe not for you, but sounds like there's potential work in the industry for a skilled EUC rider. Just need to turn the bigger Hollywood onto the potential that you're demonstrating. Or maybe they already know about EUCs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you mention it, but just from posting on Facebook last night, two directors I know already asked me about how much i'd charge, and if I could do it wearing an Easy-rig (a sort-of steadycam), so I think there's definitely demand. Steadicam operators charge around $500-800 per day, so it could be a fun way to pay for my EUCs and make them tax-deductible :-D Edited May 30, 2017 by noisycarlos 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
