It makes it even easier whenever I just have it follow me automatically for some nice smooth dynamic shots like you see here. Top speed is 40 mph so it has enough speed to keep on with my MSuper V3s+ especially in my profile shot of me going 26 mph. Ran into a couple of Boosted boards in Dallas which you see at the end. nice shots in there - looks super fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kour Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 @steve454 yeah it's nice - I don't own a house here though, it's my friend's the riding is fun but the wheel will quickly turn into a death-comet if it's not kept in check. the helmet's great - I originally had a shoei rf1000 I got at a yard sale, but it was so heeeavy.. 1430 grams. the tsg is 930g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're climbing steeper hills with the MSuper try squeezing the pads and then with your legs tilt the wheel forward. Using this method you can zoom up the steepest of hills much quicker than you were. You just have to have faith in the wheel I've climbed hills with the MSuper that no car could drive, so you can do it cheers! will try this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MarkoMarjamaa Posted June 3, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2017 I've been riding EUCs now for two years and decided to learn the traditional unicycle also. I though it would be easier because it and EUC have a lot in common. It seems to be a lot easier than I thought, this is my 4th practice session. Maybe 5 hours total. Great success! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode OG Unicycles when I was 13 years old. I recently got one to try it again; I'll be 51 yrs old on the 8th; and I find it harder to learn than I did the EUC. I was able to ride pretty quickly, but not smoothly yet. I haven't gotten back on it yet, but I want to work up to riding a couple miles on the bike trails. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisycarlos Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) Late last year, I borrowed two GoPros to dabble into VR video. And I wanted to record something fun, so I took the rig jetpacking and on a trip on the Beverly Hills mountains with @Marty Backe :-) Best viewed on a phone with Cardboard, Gear VR, Daydream or something similar. 2nd choice, just your phone via the YouTube app, you can still look around a bit with no 3D. WARNING, some parts are pretty shaky (I still gotta figure how to stabilize the rig), so if you get dizzy with 3D, you might want to hit pause and just look at them as still pictures (I think even without movement they still look pretty cool!) The rig itself was super simple, just two GoPros next to each other. So it's not 360 degress, but it is 3D. The advantage is that it can be seen while sitting, since moving the head around is enough to look around.

Learning videos are fun to watch, you get to see other peoples small falls and gains and get inspired to try it yourself. You and @Duf have the same dry humor coupled with perserverence. Like when you said, "raising the seat helped "(crash) LMAO! And when duf said "that looks like a sh**load of crocodiles up ahead." But you both kept going with good humor. And changing locations was a great idea. That knobby tire is a giveaway that you are going to be trail riding soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations, I'm just training with the unicycle and it's easier than people think, it's a much longer process than with an electric wheel, but it can be achieved with constant training, I mean there's no age to learn and The falls are much less dangerous, I encourage the lovers of the electric wheel, to start this new hobby and pass to level god of the wheels, sorry for the translation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this means if I quit the EUC and pick it up in 30 or so years it shouldn't be too hard Every time I see a unicyclist I think how much of a workout it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad I can't access the 3D effect (for physical reasons). Every time I see the jetpack in action I think it's from some sci-fi movie. It has a very alien look to it for some reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that once I'm comfortable again though, it won't be too bad. I remember getting tired quickly on the EUC at first too. I'm sure I won't be doing 50 miles on the Unicycle like on the EUC, but I'm hoping to do 2 or so miles at a time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Marcus Matos Posted June 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) I did a non-stop ride around White Rock Lack in Dallas yesterday. It's not terribly exciting (except for one close call with a couple who struggled with "on your left!", portions with significant debris from the rain/flooding, and an unintentional ride through 6 inches of water...) but figured I'd share it anyway.
