johrhoj Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 @Jonathan Tolhurst - Not long ago there was a topic on the different ways to make an 180 turn in a tight space. This was certainly not one of the options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to practice some more to get to land >90% consistency, after which I'll try to combine with unispins etc... I have been putting some tricks on to Vine: https://vine.co/u/1355628961270792192?mode=grid and posting instructions in the "Tricks to Learn" thread. @Rehab1 , @Adrian Stevens - Toby is really good, although he makes me feel fat as every time I attempt a big drop like in his latest video I always burst my inner tube . I'm pretty sure that if electric unicycling was more accessible to the younger generations we would have much faster trick progression. Oldies like me learn much slower and also take longer to heal up after a fall. Thanks for the nice comments. Toby definitely has the advantage of "being under 40 kilos" on his side. The other thing is he has the guts to try it but as you say that comes with healing quickly, being able to bounce and forgetting how much things have hurt in the past :-) A competition sounds fun even if it's just to get some like minded people together. Thought you might like to see the compilation I made of some of Tobe's best "mischief" from last year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jonathan Tolhurst Posted July 8, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2016 Another Vine - chaining 180 Unispin to Switch-Stance. I did manage to upset my wheel by chaining too many unispins together (in the same way that it gets upset when you idle for too long). 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the kids, (and big kids) at the skate park love J's wheel, and often ask for a go! We met a guy with a pedal unicycle @ the park today too. Always good fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Ok 'fess up which one of you guys is John Dingley? Com'on I know you're out there... Is this what the post-apocalyptic world beach would look like? Where's the zombies? Also, is that his electric unicycle license he's carrying around with him there? Did someone post this up before? It looks vaguely familiar... Edited July 9, 2016 by HunkaHunkaBurningLove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jonathan Tolhurst Posted July 10, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2016 A film of the tricks that I have been doing over the past couple of weeks (some of the individual sequences I have on Vine). The first half of the video was filmed using my robotic camera dolly. The second half of the film shows me practising chaining tricks together. I'll try and post some instructions for the "Switch Stance" trick in the "Tricks to Learn" thread. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I spent some time recording my trip today and did some quick editing in iMovie. I'm not sure why it's so blurry as on my iPhone it's pretty sharp. Oh well, it's nothing too exciting, but you get a chance to see a Ninebot One E+ Limited Edition Flame rolling around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
