riding in a nice parking lot

Great video, it looks like your wheel no longer wobbles, what did the shop do to fix it?

 I wonder what the degrees are on those ramps, they look fairly steep.

I know you know, but don't forget how much it hurt to fall at 13 mph. This would be much worse. But also have fun. I just worry about all my wheeling friends. ?

It was almost 50 degrees today so I took advantage of the weather and had a nice relaxing V5F+ ride along the banks of the Maumee River in Toledo, Ohio. To windy for the drone to film me!

 I have never been down to this area of town because it is known for a lot of crime! I did pass some nice people and families along the way and was totally entertained watching a huge freighter being towed by a tug boat as it approached a drawbridge.

I think he would have gotten a lot more benefit from drafting behind you. To be fair your title is a bit misleading - there was no race ;-)

Just a short video of trying out some new trick filming ideas/techniques including:

Using a motorised slider rail (horizontal & vertical). This works really well for filming tricks as the movement of the camera is more pleasing to watch than static "CCTV" footage. Filmed during a lunchtime session, the building in the background is the Shard.

3 meter selfie pole - when spinning around fast it generates loads of wind resistance and makes a crazy noise.

I have also been trying some tricks in my Tron costume - I got buzzed by the met police helicopter last night which diverted its flight path to have a look :-)

DUDE!!

Where to even begin...  The sliding camera - awesome both ways. And the (selfie) pole is fantastic. This should have all been in the EUC competition!

Using The Shard as a backdrop is just plain cheating though, but you make up for it with the Tron costume - please try that again at dusk though, so we can see the costume and the light show!!!

Best video I have seen in a long time, really well made. 

Where did you get the Tron costume from..?

I'm prepping up my Youtube channel to prepare for my new Mavic Pro drone to arrive. I decided to clean it and give it a theme covering my 2 favorite hobbies in the world: drones and EUC. Most of the videos are about this drones and electric unicycles anyway. When you think about it the new DJI Mavic Pro and EUC are a perfect match in terms of portability. 

Feel free to check out my channel here:

I made a small compilation of hill climbing to celebrate the overhaul.

Just in some parts of the town. I would certainly be worried riding in Chicago

Thanks for the video. I was completely surprised that Chicago is down to #24 in the Most Dangerous Cities in the US. Toledo is actually at #15 and I don't blame you for carrying more than pads for protection but it is still sad that you need to.

Truly awesome video! A motorized slider seems bulky to carry around for a lunch session so how did you manage that?

[Rehab1]

This was video was shot using the DJI OSMO gimbal at the National Museum of the Great Lakes yesterday. Last of the great weather!

First time trying with DJI Phantom 3 "follow me" mode. Not quite there yet. Don't know If I'm doing something or the drone itself changes altitude.

So many methods to record ourselves these days! Did you feel you had to guide the Phantom 3 with a lot of inputs to follow you? It appeared to be tracking.

[Planetpapi]

The "Follow me " mode working fine I guess but I didn't frame it right. Next time I will try a bit closer and more open field.

Thanks for all the kind words - I just like to experiment with filming - I still need to learn how to edit properly and make a story.

I got the el-panel pieces for the Tron costume from: http://elwirecraft.co.uk/ They are also on (UK) ebay.

These were carefully attached to a (cheap) black tracksuit using hook and loop tape and driven by a portable el-driver and 12 v battery.

The light up shoes were from ebay (the high-style shoes work better as they seem more resistant to accidentally changing pattern/colour mid-ride).

The light up band was made using a strip of individually addressable LEDs and a Arduino Nano.

The motorised slider is 1.7 m long but very light - it's very easy to transport even with an additional tripod. When I get a chance I'll try to put up a post of some photographs of some of the different rigs I have tried.

Here's a tediously long video, but it's long for a reason - I'm doing a hill challenge (2nd tallest hill in Hampshire!), getting along the new cycle path and trying to determine what are the safe speeds along various sections of that. Also testing helmet cam (GoPro4), and my new Fog City Anti-mist-up Visor insert (works well). Actual speed all the way through, with no diverting scenery, so me, and all the EUCers that want to ride it know where the potholes are and where it's safe to get a bit of speed on. For various reasons, the GoPro4 isn't as good as the GoPro3+ I used to have, but then I threw that in the sea, so we're stuck with it  

The MSV3 on the other hand, did really really well, and didn't overheat, or give up on me, despite some fairly constant uphill action towards the end.
