I'm on holidays next week, Stella and I are going on a little roadtrip in the US with our van, don't know where yet. I'll bring my une, so if there's someone in the Northeastern US that's up for a short ride, let me know and we'll try to stop by!

Nice man! I miss you and Stella!

Anybody know if manuels been hacked or he's really won all that bitcoin cash? :p

Oh and @sam no hollidays here but strong springvibes and im heading to dampen that rideurge with some skate , giving my hand a unibreak after a while of pain, prob joining the game asoonas i come back again

yeah pretty sure manuel’s insta was hacked lmao

unfortunate yikes

Bro what 🤯

thought we were about to go into business together

We are on a one week roadtrip with the crew at the moment. Tomorrow is the last day and we will have a big ride in Munich together :D

welcome to the new skrrrt 😘 more details to come!

Looking pretty sick already!

Love that there is a game archive!!

Although can't get the videos to play for the first ever expert game..

yeah looks sick!

Sam I think you might be looking for the game third from the bottom. If you remember the first few weeks of skrrrt we had beginner / advanced / expert ones running at the same time. I think I might just go in and combine them under the hood into one game for the weeks that we ran three different ones.

hi guys i am new and i will try to be as active as possible

Welcome to skrrrt @Andrea!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZL-dyqINPSIOEU8826h0mW9u2XMhmdOMT6O3KbpCccw/edit?usp=sharing See you at Niediek Invitational!

Sounds sick Jan!

Got it working Colby, just had to watch Adrien's set and Eli's submission for it again 😍

@colby I love this design for Skrrrt! Did you do the redesign or just code it?

Wow this is awesome, love the redesign! Is source code coming soon too?

Thanks guys! Yeah I did the design and rewrite myself - obviously taking inspiration from lots of different sources!

And yes! I'll release the source code in the coming weeks!

Love that new design!! Facebook 2012 vibes🥰 i can’t

i can’t submitt don’t know why ?

Thanks for letting me know Clement! Should be fixed now!

Ye it wont let me submit also

Same, and can't submit to next week's game either. :S

try on a computer if you normally use your phone it worked for me

hmm i'll have to take a look! Were you both trying on your phones?

I just tried on my phone and my computer and both seemed to work 🤔

I tried both on my phone and computer.

Hugo would you mind trying again and letting me know what time your try at? I'll see if I can see what might be going on

Just tried right now.

I wonder if there's a weird caching thing going on. Could you try in an incognito browser?

I'm not seeing anything in the logs

Just tried in an Incognito Safari tab on my phone. Can’t click ‘Be the first’ for next week’s game, or ‘Submit’ on a set.

Hey Hugo! I think I nailed down the issue! From my reading it seems to be a bug within Safari haha. I think I have a workaround in place so try again and let me know if you can upload!

It worked! Thanks Colby <3

I've lost the options to join next week's game now 😕 on android using Firefox, I've tried an incognito window but no joy.

Just tried in chrome on android and no joy either.. 😔

Yeah, I'm out of options. I've tried private/incognito and regular windows on chrome and firefox on android, chrome on PC and Safari on iOS. The join the game buttons just aren't there! Colby, hoping this is an easy fix your end so I can join the next game :)

So frustrating! Can anyone else try to register? Once again I was able to with no issues. If I need to I can delay the game a few days!

nope does not work for me either :/

worked for me

Okay I have some logs set up that I'll monitor. If you're unable to register try again! The error won't be fixed but hopefully I'll get some insight into what's going on.

Okay, so this morning the job game button was available in the upcoming game screen. I've uploaded a set.

However, I can't see any of the people who have joined the upcoming game including myself. Just still says "be the first to join" strange..

I'm working on some caching strategies to help make the site faster, so there might be some of that for a bit! Hopefully not for much longer though!

For those of you who want to join the current game, I'll keep looking into a fix for uploads! When the fix is in place, if you join the upcoming game, I can go in and switch your set over to be in the active game. For now, if you are still unable to upload, try this: 1. Clear you cookies! 2. Visit https://www.skrrrt.io/build and let me know what you see for next to "sha" (as of right now you should see "a6eb598")

Dear Colby, I’ve put my set on the upcoming game, if you’ll want to add me please 🫶

Clement and Mos I just added you both!

'preciate you colby!

Thanks dude, sorry to bother you but idk why but like last week I can’t submitt😕

Thanks Colby, sorry to bother you another time but I can’t submit like last week :/

Hey Clement! Did you get it figured out? I can see your submissions!

Took a unicycle to my brother today. Hopefully get him in the game in the next few weeks! Begginer level guys watch out 😉

hahaha nice work!

When will you be back in the games @Ivar?

Excuse Mr Admin man, i can't find how to post a youtube video on here anymore... I can get the link to show but not the thumbnail.

I turned off embed support because it was a massive pain to try to make them work for any url, but what I might do is add support for certain websites like youtube down the road!

ok, thanks for the answer! so does that mean all i can do is share the url?

for now, yeah!

ok thanks!

Ye Colby I was just to fast at the loading and that not refresh

Still in limbo over here sam :p

Back when my right hand is good i guess

Took a little ride and sent something sam ;) im the first to join, so get in there now friends <3 already sunday

I can't upload a set for a game, I am getting this message:

Not Authenticated You have been redirected here because you have not yet logged in!

same for me. I am now trying on the phone

So it seems like the fix for other riders has been to clear your cookies on any device where you see this issue. Thankfully it should be a one time fix!

mh I cleared my cookies and now I could submit but the submission does not show on the page :/

You're in! I need to fix that because I've seen that myself!

Glad that clearing the cookies seems to be the fix :)

Thanks!

Tried it before and didn't work, tried it again now and seems it's working now (I should be in). But now it's saying I am the only one for the upcoming game?

Glad you could ride a little at least Ivar! Injuries are the actual worst.

I can also only see my set in the game but clearly there are more than just me?

Hi guys! I'm kstormonociclo from Mexico city I'm wanna play wich are the rules or how can i start to play?

go to "games" on the left click on "adjust view"

then click on "active"

then select "upcoming"

click on "update"

and then click "be the first" / "join"

There were the rules when uploading a set which is no longer the case, can you please add it back Colby?

Not much rules except play it fair and fun omar ;) set should be filmed in the last week but noones gonna sue you. The rules kept saying only flat ground looong after we ditched that rule, theres now just an unspoken rule that you dont ask for a too specific obstacle if you use an obstacle (in case someone wants to submit but cant find a copy of your curb or maybe their whole city is in rain) looking forward to playing with you!

Yeah Sam is exactly right! Honestly nothing to add! Really looking forward to having you in the games!!

Anyone know the story behind these street levels (at the bottom of the page)? Someone in my Discord linked this and I have some opinions: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/The_Unicyclopedia/Street

Shifty and Uniwhip at level 10 definitely have to be a joke

fyi just added mos to the game!

@Nick I think Noli had something like this but i remember it being a google sheet?

🧌🕳️

anyone doing anything fun this weekend?

I get the COVID SO SLEEPING..

😵‍💫😵‍💫

rest up clement!

Nah, working my last night of 7 night shifts tonight, then just snoozing/ hanging around the house with the kids tomorrow to try and reset the body clock!

Hey, can anyone else see who is in the upcoming game? I only see my set but I know there must be more..

Yeah I see you, Nafe, and Stephy. So weird - does a hard refresh help?

Nah, refresh makes no difference. Neither does opening in an incognito window 🤷‍♂️

Ohhhh wait I know why. I see them because I’m an admin. I have a fix for it I just forgot to put it out. Will try and do that tonight!

Good stuff Colby 🙂

Exciting game this week. Actually got a few people submitting! Good work taking the lead Ivar! I wonder if Clement will hit back..?

Should be fixed now Sam!! Pumped for next weeks game!

Yeah that's got it Colby! Thanks 😊

Mm I was hoping taking 5 would push clement to do 6 :))) but now i see he has covid so maybe nah :( best on recovery <3 anyone else 6(or7)?

Oh yeah, forgot he has the covid 😔 you've probably got it!

Never landed any reverse RW, so this week I’ve landed ones but that’s not enough! And I was close to that switch VR but COVID GOT ME🥵

I will try to ride a bit today but not sure of where it’s going ahah

You've won enough lately anyway Clement. Rest up and let Ivar take it haha.

What are the top few most difficult backside tricks landed? Anyone know?

I’ts not that bad but i’m looking tired even if I’m sleeping 10h ahah! But I’m gonna film a lil trick for that week because is going better actually

for the backsides tricks, there is lot like colby with his fifthBS3, also idk if someone landed sejbackside but it looks like possible I think!

also there is Cyril in 2016, landed 900 backside, it’s a pretty good one!

And I’ve landed a 540backside on tire and that was an hard one!

antibackside by Dan and Josef if I remember good 🤓

Wosers! Thanks for the info Clement. They all sound insane...

Good infos💜Josef has a beautyful out back anti side flip is it the one called tigerflip? I think sean minter has some antibacksidespins too

Searching nbdooos sam?

Tiger flip is kinda different, is like a budaflip flip but just with a inflip

Nah, Luke and I were just talking about backside variations 😎

The game is looking good y'all! 30 minutes to get some more sets in! Do some easy ones for Nafe 😉

I intended to submit but totaly forgot , putting it in the next week you can put it over to current if my lateness is allowed colby ;)

done!

just added Luke as well!

I'd like to bring back the badges that show you how much new stuff has been posted since you last visited a page, but I'm curious what you guys think is the right way to do that. Here's my initial thought: - chat: number of new messages - posts: number of new posts - games: number of new sets and submissions - users: number of new users I'd also like to add a user dashboard that you visit when you first log in that shows things like number of new messages / likes received on your content (chat messages, posts, set, submissions, followers) since you last logged in. Thoughts?

love all that colby!

it would be super nice to be able to see at a quick glance what is new rather than having to go through everything, and maybe even missing stuff

Love that too!!

Sounds unreal mate! If the user dashboard could take you directly to the new stuff that works be even better!

Nice work on the game Clement! Nailed it 😁

Thanks dude!!

Added some thank you badges next to users who donate to skrrrt! Thank you all SO much for the support!

I am stoked about something i can only share with you guys because non unicyclists don't understand what it means, so i'll just say it here : i almost jumped 1m over the bar today!!! i did it twice, and hit the bar on the way both times, but dammmmn, so close!! i am very happy.

(on the way down*)

Wowsers!! Nice work! Seat out side hop? Rolling side hop or rolling seat in?

What's the difference between a bronze, silver and gold check mark? 🧐

EVERYONE GO ON YT AT 6PM (UTC+2)

Hope you liked what i’ve builded!

Can't wait Clement!!

Sam the way I broke it down is bronze is those who support up to $4/mo, silver up to $8, and gold for anything over!

@Sam Thomas my favorite way of hopping : SIF rolling straight at the obstacle. Just one rev of rolling before the hop, kinda looks like a one bounce up to front in biketrials

Nice Colby!

That's a cool style Jean! Post a clip on here some time 😁

whenever i get 1m clean i'll post it!

https://youtu.be/WXA7bgzLipI

ENJOY🤩

Anyone else jumping in the game for tomorrow?! Need a few more "return to unicycling level" inspiration sets for Nafe!

Im gonna send something!

Point system just changed! To prepare for multiple sets compatibility?

🔔 BIG NEWS! 🔔 Riders can now upload up to three sets per week, and riders who didn't upload sets can still play! The way points are calculated has also changed. To incentivize riders to upload the three set limit, you're now awarded points for every sets you upload. This is also what makes it possible for riders who didn't upload sets to still play, they just start with a handicap! Excited to see more sets from you all!

Damn stephane bust broke the high score and took 12 points in a ten person game!!! Sender

Excited to try this new format colby! Good thing i just came home from the park with two little thingies

Now hes on 13! Chill down man. Go weld something

So nice Colby!! Love it!

Now 15😂

Awesome news!!! That's unreal 😎 great work Colby

I had a couple of extra clips this week too 🙂

Haha yeah I'm not sure what went wrong with Stephy's submissions haha. I went ahead and deleted where he had duplicate submissions, and I'll try to get the original clips from him to preserve when he really tried to upload them. The uploads lately have been really tricky to get right, but really appreciate the patience from you all! I'm so pumped for this game!!!

Alright I just spend a few hours tonight reworking how video uploads work, and I think it should solve the bad uploads that have been happening! You'll also see real time progress of your video upload similar to how you did on the old app!

btw, I don't know if I ever mentioned this, but if you hold down on the hearts (long click or long press) you can see who liked things! There wasn't a good way to do this on mobile with the old app so I'm trying this way out.

sounds great colby!

Sam has taken an early lead with 7 points

never mind 8

Nah 10 bro 😅

lol

So, initial thoughts re additional sets. There are a whole heap of them.. (even with only a few people putting in extras)

Would love to have the "table view" option back to help sifting through sets, if possible Colby!

But, I love it. Especially once it gets rolling a bit. I intend to be submitting like a rolls combo, a flatland trick and a street trick in the future. Not next week though. 3 sets for Nafe next week from me!

The uploads went super smooth BTW Colby. Seamless!

Abram, the early submissions are because Nafe hasn't got shin guards yet so I'm dropping him mine tomorrow night!

For some reason on android (Firefox) when I go to my submissions page it is only showing 4 of them, not all 7 🤷‍♂️ might be an issue with my setup though.

Anyway, night all! Enjoy the game!

I can look into a way of getting a condensed table view back! Also the submissions pages should be fixed now!

Thanks Colby!

Great work on the game Clement!! 😮

Thanks Sam! I have to make a quick post of me trying the 540 hoptwist, I was completely fucked up 😂😵

Haha! Please do! 😅

540 hoptwists are SO hard.

When Max did that massive 720 hoptwist off the ledge he literally did it first try with no warm up lol

Oh also, I forgot to tell you all this! I originally engineered it so that when a game transitioned to archived, the video uploads were supposed to be deleted. I was worried the storage costs would be insane if I didn't clean up every so often. Turns out the storage costs are really very small, and there was a bug in my code that made it so nothing got deleted! lmao. So the fact that we can still see all the original sets and submissions was just as much a surprise to me as it was to you all hahaha

Max was such a beast at EVERYTHING. guys insane. Luke always made 540's look easy too ♥️

I can barely 360 😅

i can do sketchy 360s on flat but i need to take my glasses off otherwise they fly away x)

Steeze or eyesight, pick one.

What's everyone got going on outside of une?

Looks like Michelle and I are more than likely moving to Portugal instead of Spain, so that's new!

Oh nice, that will be an interesting chapter of you life! How long for?

No return date!

I've been going to a parkour gym a lot. I think a lot of skills are transferrable to unicycling

I'm going back to the states for a week for a memorial service

Ahh sorry to hear that Abram. Back in Kentucky?

Gardening and building bird house 👩‍🌾

It's my young blokes 8th birthday so having a party at "inflatable world" today then with family tomorrow! He is also getting his first unicycle from one of his grandparents 😮

@colby nah, its up in the chicago area.

Check my 450 sub so cute 😅

Cute!

How come the change Colby? I have to finish my bachelors thesis the next week so I am pretty busy atm. Besides we just had some rats move into our home so there is a lot of work to be done there also. Hoping for some less stressful times in June :D

Spain or portugal i still want to visit 😊 in a winter

Sent my sets ✔ pretty mean ones from me this next week but i might not have time to play at all meself so i give you something to bite in

Im sorry, still unable to play, my wrist issues are going up and down still... Nice to see the bunch of sets for next week though :D

I dropped the one I could do first try, but there are tornadoes this weekend so I couldn't go to the skate park. Awesome tricks though guys!

@colby I can't believe I just discovered this app but this is amazing, thanks man. I'm a software engineer so if you ever need a fresh pair of eyes or some code thoughts let me know.

Was having trouble submitting for the game until I realized I wasn't logged in. Might be useful to have a more descriptive error message when trying to submit when not logged in, or some other way to make it clear that you need to log in to submit.

Got my sets in though, excited for this week

Ah thanks for the tip Nick! I changed up the submission logic a bunch recently and probably removed that by accident. Will fix that today!

Would love the table view back for games too if it's an easy one Colby 😀

I never really got into using table view before but maybe it'll be good now with ALL THESE SETS 😍

GG on the game clement

🧌

Yeah I'll definitely bring back a table! One thing I've been considering is making skrrrt a legitimate mobile app (potentially not even supporting web). In other words it would be a full-blown app you download on the app store. I'm curious what you all would think about that? My understanding based on the little analytics I have is that most of you don't use the app on the browser at all. Switching to a mobile app would unlock all sorts of cool things like push notifications (imagine "so and so commented on your post" or "so and so submitted for your set") I'm not promising anything at this point, but is that something you guys would be interested in?

New here but was looking for an app for this website but now I know there isn’t one. I think an app would be a lot better and most likely bring more users as it would be easier and more simple to use in my opinion.

@Colby for Android or iOS or both?

Sounds like something a 99boi would like

I dont know a lot about programs but talked with my brother a bit about it and sounded like small stuff like these little delays when clicking buttons could be avoided like that?

They c

Whoops they can, yeah

Also emoji reacts on mobile and more OS specific notifications

Would be easier

@ivar what is a 99boi haha

I was born back then 😁

Oh 😳

Oh 😳 I'm old

young bois assemble!

Ye hihi Nah i just meant a young gun like me is not used to go through the browser

I'd make it cross platform of course!!

I've never developed for iOS. That would be different wouldn't it

I mean the app is still going to be some kind of interface for the web page anyway right?

colby i’d love an actual app. that would be so sick. it would be nice to have the option to view on desktop too though

Use react native and it can work for all 3! Not sure what the v2 tech stack is like so maybe that's a lot of work

Nah I rewrote the backend to be client agnostic, in case I ever wanted to make a mobile client! I'm thinking either react native with expo or flutter, haven't decided yet!

btw I haven't added it for set / submission messages yet, but you can now click on a chat message or post message of yours to edit it (instead of just delete it)

As someone who makes a lot of typos and hits send anyway that's huge

I would appreciate it as an app. I still have to force close/clear from ram almost every launch currently haha. Also an app might allow more customisation. I would still much prefer the enter button to line down in all text boxes then have a send button so you don't get slabs of text like this. Like actually being able to format on mobile would mean a stack to me 😅 grammar nerd or something.

just added updating set and submission messages!

🤏🏼 sad won't be spain @Colby. Even so, Barcelona it's close for a meeting (the best city for street is waiting u😏)

How is everyone?

Nafe and I are getting a ride in tomorrow to session the game and grab some clips for next week!

Anyone else have rides planned?!

Might go to the skatepark today for some clips

@sam ok, I ride every day haha

I'm doing ok*

Aaaahh Aidan, I remember those days .. full time work, a wife and 3 kids make it hard now though! At least I'm still thinking about unicycling a bit every day almost 18 years after learning to ride I guess 😊

Looking forward to seeing your skatepark clips Abram!

had a good ride yesterday, did my first ever back schultz walk and now im gonna go for a new stepover soon

Awesome Alex! Keen to see back Schulze walk to bay back flip 🙃

i’ve been busy as hell with school and life but i did film a few sets for ya rats

Woot

Can't wait for this week

Nice Mos! Thanks for chucking some in!

Nafe is back in this coming week too 😁

Stephy is late but he add his set on next week game ;)

You can join the game without any send in now too 👌

So maybe just ditch late sets from now on and let them stay to next week? Stephy can still submit and complete :))

Hey guys, going for a week to Dubrovnik, do you know any urban rider there? Deciding whether I should bring uni with me.

Always bring the uni

Ok i gotta say it

On feedback:

Following<favorites

I hear that feedback! The plan is to eventually send you notifications when people you “follow” do things on skrrrt

guys I finished my bachelors thesis this week. Now I got some free time to ride I hope my wrist will get better :D

Yeeee so cool!!! 🫶

Anyone tried twisted PC PRO pedals? I was thinking the larger platform might be good.

Udc has been supplying it i think? A whole bunch of friends used to ride odyssey twisted. I always figured it was too bulky for me but cant be a lot bigger than the nimbus one that i like rn

True. Twisted pro are a bit bigger than original twisted. I like to cut down pedal pins cause it feels better for flip tricks but sometimes my feet slip a bit so I thought a bigger platform might make up for it...

Is setup pics in profiles gone?

Happy Birthday Clement! (your profile is always featured on the opening page of Skrrrt, and i noticed it went from 21 yo to 22 yo recently ^^)

arent you born 99 clement? :o

No i was born in 7 December 2000, just was late to uploaded it🙃

always on the opening page lol ultimate flex

lol i got bamboozled

Hey colby how do I change the video clip on my set, I accidentaly did the wrong one

Ohhh noticed the supporter badges! Nice feature!

Also, where can I find the Patreon link?

Was wondering the same thing, the old patreon link is inactive now and I wanna keep contributing

Oh I appreciate that guys! Forgot I changed the link a while back - I'll add it somewhere on the site, but here it is for now: https://www.patreon.com/jrnxf

Abram go ahead and upload it as a set for next week, then I go go in on my end and transition it to this weeks. Shoot me a message when you've done that and I'll take care of it!

alright colby got it, thanks.

also please just make sure you switch my last set for the new one 🙂

done!

Anyone got tips for rimless tire ? I need to ride with it one month more please heeeeelp

What do you mean? A 19" tire?

Yes, it just go out to the rim every5min

does it have a bead? if it doesn't, maybe you could try a makeshift bead, using duct tape and iron wire?

It 'jumps' off??

Off from the rim?

@ivar yes

Tire is not pretty adesive, I’ve tried to put it but doesn’t stay like that more than 10min and go off

You ride too hard 😅 i have no idea what causes that. But i still have a 19" tire+wheel if youre interested, dont know if it will go any better

I think it’s that ahah!! I know Ivar but actually got - 50€ on my account and no payment coming since a month so I got no money to pay you! But thanks and in a month maybe😎

It will be from a flat spot in the rim Clement. Easiest fix is a new rim of you know how to build the wheel. Otherwise a wheel.

You could also locate the flat spot, pull the Spokes out there and try to bang the rim back in to shape with a rubber mallet before putting the Spokes back in. This will be horrible for the rim in general but might buy you some riding time!

I don’t think it’s always the rim. A lot of times the tire is just old and the bead doesn’t want to stay on the rim. When i was visiting colby last winter, he had a tire that wouldn’t stay on the rim just because the tire was old

Fair enough Mos! Haven't seen that before!

Thanks so much for your answers!

i really think it’s about the tire because there is no flat on my rim! It’s not the first time that happening to me, some hold white try-all tire 19" was getting flex super quickly..

and this tire is from 2 years ago, so I think is just more flexible by the time of staying in the garage for waiting a sesh so I think it’s for that! A month is not long enough and I’m just started a new work today so, it gonna go fast! Just a month of sketchy 20 riding an I’m coming back on my beauty 19"

love that community guys 💕😎

yeah unfortunately it's probably time to throw the tire away :( always upsetting though when the tire still has tread on it. I've blown through probably 6 or 7 tires this way

Sorry I haven't submitted anything the past couple weeks! I'm working overtime a bunch

If anyone is around North Carolina or Tennessee, Owen farmer, myself, and possibly a couple others are meeting at the windrock downhill bike park this weekend!

Also @colby iirc you're in Colorado, and I'm headed there in august for work so lmk if you wanna meet up!

Anyway, great sets this week guys! Y'all are all amazing riders, I feel humbled

Oh dang! Aidan I'll be in Portugal, but you should reach out to Brandon Penrod, Nollie, and Max Schulze!

Unfortunately I don't know how to get in touch with any of them! I don't have any active social media besides this and discord

email me at [email protected] and I can send you their numbers!

How do I join a game again?

Aah nevermind, figured it out

Also, Colby. If there is anything I could work on with Skrrrt let me know.

Yes Jack! Would be great to have you in the game 😊

Hey guys, our Team video will go live in 5 hours and we will host a watchparty on our discord channel, if you want to join.

Lot of efford went into the video. 4 days of filming 10 riders

https://discord.gg/B6CWeFWt

Loved the video Jan! Great riding by all and looked like a heap of fun had 🙂

Looks like you didn't make it in Jack? 😞

Forget to post too..

Pretty sure you can still join Clement! You just miss the 3 free points for posting sets. We might actually have a chance to beat you 😁

Yes sure!! I get a sesh tomorrow

Nice work on the game Clement! Taken the lead!

Forget the back walk the dog, so I’m 2nd actually but thanks Sam!

Happy birthday Colby! ❤️ Hope you have a good day

So glad to see you got a new part coming @Ivar Christenson

Hi guys I need help with my fulloutflip, I keep turning a little to the left while in the air so I don't land straight. any tips to fix it?

I'll try to film few sets this week. 10 month later I have time and I feel motivated for a little ride. (just basics)

@ivar I'm excited for your new video!

@abram just turn a little more and make a fullvarial out of it? :p or perhaps if you get some inward varial or other opo twist it can help you hold back to the right 🤔 dont take my word for it though these treflips are still a mystery for me too

Thanks aidan! Yup out on rlgn now my street part nr2: https://youtu.be/tQkKILgW530

So good Ivar! Love your street riding. The line with the switch outhalf-flip to switch inhalf-flip was my favourite. I wanna learn these (and eventually switch fullouthalf-flip) so I can make better use of some half rev obstacles. Trampoline line is iconic. Outbacksidespin to steezejam on the bank was very nice.

Hello everyone, I'm a young unicycle-rider from Germany and I would like to know where I can find a list of all unicycle tricks. I hope, I will see a lot of you at the summer EUC in Marchtrenk.

umm, I don't know if there is a full list of all unicycle tricks, but there might be some that have the basics.

https://uniusa.org/Flatland-Levels

Without involving obstacles my list is something like:

SIF SIB fakie seatdrag Rides Rolls Wheelwalks Coasts Stillstands HandsOnWheelShit Rev Flip Spin Twist

You can find a lot of tricks in the game archive too ;) just go to a random old week and click on stuff with interesting titles

Thanks for your answers. It's very helpful for me and I'm very happy about it.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MkBw37AB-pdIh4j6a76rBraM02kYZacu4rtGyOrLdh8/edit#gid=0 spreadsheet of tricks, not sure how much is it useful for beginners but I spent some time studying that :-)

you can find it in this post with some other resources: https://www.reddit.com/r/unicycling/comments/ivapz3/runicycling_resources/ Eli Brill's "Unicycle school" is definitely worth to watch. Same goes for Chris Huriwai's UNIQUEST series

Nice, the spreadsheet of tricks is so useful and I didn't know it. I'm able to do a 360 Unispin, a Crankflip and lots of other tricks. At the moment I practice the 180 flip, the 540 Unispin and the 360 Sidespin.

@Joos you should join the game for next week!

Yes, great idea. I'll try to join the game next week.

I've been trying to find a video with a coast - outspin/flip drop. I thought it was one of the poham's who did it but can't find it anywhere! Does anyone know?

This? https://youtu.be/DgPRhsUxXeg

Outspin i'm thinking chris huriwai but dont know where this clip is 🤔

That's probably what I'm remembering Ivar. That's a sick coast drop variation!

Yeah also not sure re outspin..

Can you go land one for the next game Ivar? Keen to see it 🤪

On it 😊

https://youtu.be/xoS1vFw7akY?t=152

same spot, different video

Is it only for me that one of shuheis sets isnt playing?

Ohyaay! Thanks alex

That's the one Alex!!! I thought I had lost my mind for a bit there... Thanks 😀

Such an insanely fast cost too... That clip is unreal

Went for a short ride with Loïc yesterday at a new park (for me at least). Had a good time and filmed a few clips for the game!

gonna try to be more online in here

hello again folks

I'm also wondering if people have experienced something i'm experiencing. I got a full mad4one 20" urban setup about a month ago. I noticed in my session today that the saddle feels like it's flexing an unusual amount

I feel like I remember seeing stabilization plates and stuff like that for sale via Railigion and maybe some other sites over the years

I suspect that those plates probably help reduce the flex, and im starting to realizt this is probably why people prefer carbon bases in their saddles for more hardcore riding

Maybe I will make a "post" about this actually to keep it all together

A lot of plastic seats probably including the mad4one have a metal reinforcement plate inside. It's probably broken and that's why you're noticing the flex :-(

Had some kinda plastic seat a couple of years ago , banana shape and flexy. Then came colby and michelle to visit, colby smashes the seat in the landing of some spin so it goes flatter and stiffer. Ultimate seat upgrade <3 but i cant remember where it went cause now ive got just three seats, a carbon a madhandle and a grey plastic. I think you gotta go with one of those three to get it stiff daff. There are reinforcement plates but if im not mistaken theyre mostly for handle stiffening and not like the whole base, but ive got no experience of those plates so dont take my word for that

this makes sense about the stiffeners being for the handle, thanks ivar! My Impact saddle i had on my last setup should still work in the meantime, and im probably going to ride through the mad4one saddle until I can really confirm what the issue is

seems like carbon fiber base is the worthy long term investment from the sounds of things too so ill probably get one of those as soon as i find out who has them available

bruh couldn't get my sets in for this weeks game it says some error occured when on my phone.

Hello guys, do you know any riders based in Leuven, Belgium? I am there for few days.

Btw, I can't find a login button on mobile app for some reason.

There is definitely some riders in Belgium on the user's map. I couldn't find the city you mentioned but worth a look!

Abram, Colby can help if you upload to next week's game and message him.

Looks like Colby is using a Clean Koala 19 X 2.6 tyre in his sets this week. What is everyone's/anyone's experience with them?

I stayed with bavo schoofs last time in leuven and had a great time, definetely check with him whats up

I've been using the Clean Koala 19 x 2.6 tire since I got my new mad4one unicycle a few days ago. So far I'm very satisfied and I'm doing well with it.

Sam I'll probably just wait till next game reset

still try and get some sets done though

Sam i've been riding a clean koala for a few months (possibly over a year of almost daily riding), and i love it. Super grippy, smooth (when used a bit) and bounces like crazy

Good to know Jean! Thanks for that ☺️

Sounds ideal!

Got three sets cooking for next week

Yes Ivar! Same 😁

Banger

yo those pre-trials day jams are beefy

just curious... does anyone have any strong feelings about different saddle handles (KH vs impact big)?

Perfect timing to ask luke, i just did a rare ride on impact handle, the one thats wide but short. Normaly im on kh. Cant say ive got a strong preference of those two though, or i do favorize the kh but ive also just ridden it way more so might be cause of that. But it seems the curve inside it in the front (the thickened part under a regular grip) is a little thicker on kh so maybe more comfy cause of that. Kh compared to the short impact is a little longer allowing for putting hand at angles while still in the handle, but im not sure if this is actually benefitial or if its good on the impact to get forced back with the hand a little in on the seat

I did use the long one for a while, if its all stiff setup it does make fitocoasts a little easier (or using fito grip to cheat other tricks, i do on crossover ride for example) and scuffs sliightly stronger too but not really necessary forthem. So these aspects prob apply also to kh vs short impact (kh as the medium beteeen short and long) The downside i could see to having it longer would be just for unispins, especially on tire you know how you can sometimes get a shin from your handle (or does this happen only to me?) Prob a little easier on a longer one to get this but i cant say ive reeaally noticed it, i also dont spin much

Also if you ride in a dress it might look like you have a boner if you use the long handle 👎👍

lol

Really liked the eight doubles challenge abram! More like that 🙏😊(but not harder the difficult level was good haha )

Mimo's Instagram story has him at a skatepark with Scotty and Matty Cranmer!! Hopefully that means they will release a video with Mimo riding in it to there over 1.7M subscribers!

Hopefully he'll finish that part 🙄🤨😮

what's everyone got going on in their lives?!

practicing ^^ there's no such thing as practicing too much ;)

For me its week two welding at a company with all stainless 😊 hard grind 8h a day and way too long commute atm , so weekends are my only chance to play the game atm! So grateful to have the game in a time like this when i just need the reminder and inspo for the weekly sess 🙏

I'm just waiting for a new seatpost cause I broke another one, two weeks ago

Are you going mad yet then?

Hey Colby, Im doing good at the moment. I have to say although slowly my wrist is starting to feel better. I am really hoping it stays like it does at the moment. I am riding kind of every day although my body prevents me from going all in every day. I have some more free time until the 1st of September so trying to get some good sessions in :D

Doesnt show at all that youre restricted! Great riding from you always jan

Impressions of the 19"? First time in a while on the fatty for you?

2987 problems but it’s almost the end! I hope

Thanks for asking Ivar! I have really mixed feelings about my two unis at the moment. For now I dont think there is one uni that satisfies all my expectations. Some tricks feel bad on the 20' some on the 19'. I will test them and just see what comes out...

Its fun to have multiple to choose from! But miss the simplicity of the days there was just one setup to grab and go out 😌

Yeah I can very much relate to what you are saying...

Also it feels weird (maybe because i havent practiced that specific thing enough) to change wheelsize/cranksize every other day. I love the feeling of reliability when you get on the exact same unicycle every day.

I totally get what you mean

Learning it the hard way how bad it is redoing tricks you already can on a new one. But I have lots of appreciation for people who can switch

I have a burning question: the cranks on my new uni always get loose no matter how much I tighten them before, any advise my back really starts to hurt because of the tightening process :D

Doesn't sound ideal Jan... Likely your spacer is too big so the crank isn't pushing onto the spline far enough. Riding them loose may have started to wear the crank or hub out but hopefully not if it hasn't been too long...

You ride too hard thats why

Jokes aside after making sure its the best spacer you could try locktite down there too? Never needed it myself crank only got loose when spacers was too wide like sam said

I'm out of games for a bit 👋 got some little finger injuries and gonna work on moving for some weekends now. Keep them games lit til im back in a month or so 🔥

I hope somebody's sending a 1080 to backroll for next week 🙄📶

Hey Sam if anything the spacer is too small, there is still space between the crank and the spacer, that's why I am wondering...

The uni is brand new so I hope the cranks and hub are still fine but I have been riding the uni for two weeks like that now always tightening it before every session :/

Yeah that's very strange Jan... You shouldn't ever need to use locktite on cranks. However if yours are loosening every time they are likely worn out from not being tightened enough the first few rides... Locktite on the bolt threads prior to tightening as hard as you can might help...

Otherwise it's likely that from being ridden loose those first few times it has worn out the splines and you'll never get them tight again 😔

That explains it then? Spacer too small. What i learnt is always get contact with the spacer, but not so early that you barely caught the splines right (and a couple of threads catching... sometimes tricky with rollos and certain brand combinations) so like minimum spacer width to still get contact. Which is a hustle cause different brands are kinda different, and also if theyve been used before and by who.... i can put some cranks on, test tight with some resistence trying to get them into the spacer, and then they dont get contact, need to pull them off again and switch the spacer combination up to something slightly wider to try again. So a little kit of various spacer widths is really handy if you like switching parts a lot and with various crank brands

Also i'm afraid some brand combinations are just bad... sofia once told me never ride m41 cranks on impact hub, or maybe it was the other way around or some different combo. ive still tried any brand combo i could get my hands on and didnt go hard enough to break anything down there yet...

Does anyone have suggestions on the best seatpost for flatland/street? I just broke my Impact Unify seatpost. It bent after just two months of riding, and now, three months later, it completely snapped. Before I buy a new one, I'd like to know other options, hopefully a stronger seatpost?

It broke right at the base of the saddle. I was trying triple flip, I could the feel the post bend like playdoh

Mad4one is the only way to go. It is kinda pricy but you will never break it

Yeah, Mad4one seatposts seems to be unbreakable, I think it's worth the price. You can also extend the life of the broken seatpost with moocow saddle adapter. Don't throw away broken seatposts. Aside from that moocow adapter, you can use it as: lever for allen key, to hammer bearings in (it have perfect diameter to just fit the inner circle of bearings), weapon, etc.

@pavel I was just looking but I cant find a moocow saddleadpter in 27.2mm

anyone know if I could get one somewhere?

try to write directly to David Moscoe (@maviddoscoe on ig), I ended up getting it shipped from Canada (bit costly though).

I'll wait till i'm back in the states next year then I will try

yeah just get the mad4one – the moocow adapter is nice but its got sharp edges and hurts my hands if I do a trick where my grip is over the center of the seat. Also its just one more thing that's easy to strip like a seat post clamp.

i got a KH reinforced seatpost a few months ago, and it seems to hold up very well

maybe it offers a bit of radius variety, because i think mad4one don't do all the sizes (may be wrong here)

Y’all seen Mikey and Jacks lil edit?

fuck yes

Crazy riding 😵‍💫

All casual and lightminded

anyone going to the Belgian unicycle champs? :)

I have a feeling jelle is gonna be there!

So wish i could join you there! had a blast last year with arvid and everybody

Come Ivar 👌 we have a Spot for you in the car 👍

Anybody got some rides planned for this week?

I'm planning on a short local skatepark/Skrrrt game session after work today 👌

Changed work locations and I'm a few hundred metres from the skatepark now. Also in the same town as my kids have school/daycare so can hang out before pickup!

Nice! I don't have too much time to ride with a ton of school, sports, and other activities. But I am gonna go camping with my family for a few days and I'll try to bring the une with.

Ben is coming to visit me! Will have a uniweekend :))

There is a local festival in my town today and my unicycle club has been training for a performance there. I have about 20 kids in the club and we're excited to show the community how much they have learned and how well they are doing!

Im resting at the moment trying to heal my back for the weekend. Little bit of pain there but I think nothing serious. We are definetely heading to BUC so get your ass over there Ivar :D

Wont make it this year jan :'( too much grinding to be done up here now just saving for america, just thankful i get to borrow your bro for the weekend

Silly unicycle dream : i'm struggling to find pedals that i'm happy with. I ride inspired pedals at the moment, with pins, and i love them, but sometimes i'd like to practice grinds, but if i remove the pins on one side, then i have to constantly flip my pedals if i do footplants, one foot riding, coasting, whatever. So last night i dreamt that i was unicycling and that i found the solution : no grinds, only hardslides. This way i can keep pins on my pedals. It's just that "easy"!!

Genius Jean 👌

You like the pins for feet or biting into pedalgrabs or both? Perhaps there can be an offcenter (weight) solution automaticallt giving you either pinned or pinless down 'automatically' unless you purposely flip it over? Or how about weight keeping pedal vertical and you can kinda quick pick either side by catching pedal bit from the front or a bit from the back? :p i just keep dreaming here but got no idea what its like to enjoy those toothed pedals!

i love them for the grip on my feet for strong hops and twists, and also rolling on any surface. I don't really like pins for pedal grabs, because i don't like to destroy the things i ride ^^. I don't know about the weight thing, since sometimes when i do footplants they spin really fast. I've been thinking about adding strong magnets to the side of the pedals and in the grooves of my cranks, but i haven't found the right magnets yet (need them very small and very strong).

Also while you're here Ivar, what happened to your videos? there was one i loved where you threw your shoe away and got back to it doing roll thingies with only the other foot, and i can't find it anymore!

I've been struck with that oldrider sickness of starting to unlist some videos nowandthen 🤭🤭🤭 but hid some links around like that one should be in a playlist on my channel called runs

the scavenger hunt begins!

6 years of unicycling and my brain still does not understand it, when I dream about riding it's either weird (I do tricks I can't do in real life but I am unable to comprehend how it works in that dream) or I ride a bike, but only wheelies and manuals and I am insanely good in both (can't do any of that in real life). Have you encounter something similar?

I mean I have dreamed about doing a uniwhip and obviously can’t do it irl so I guess that counts

I dream about unicycling often, and it seems to work similarly to how it works irl. But these dreams always give me ideas of stuff to try, and these ideas almost never work x)

Jealous of you guys! I cant recall unicycling ever appearing in my dream (unicyclistS prob a whole bunch of times though 😏😏) But it sounds all natural that it dont stick to logic, dreams usually appear surealistic once awake again dont they?

Earlier this year I had a dream where I did a jump roll. I had never tried it before and didn't even know what the trick was called, but the next day I got up and spent about two hours only trying jump roll and finally landed it! 😂

so cool that a dream actually worked!!! what's a jump roll?

It's like a forward backroll jean

Or inside outsideroll

wtf x)

Daffodil, i think your game is going to be downloaded a lot ^^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPF8HRjgEgI

ya guys see the new KH drops?

Yea 😊🙈 I tried to start a thread about it here but then i noticed stevenHughes already did All the discussing on facebook so i deleted my post again

And i guess the interest in kh from the disciplines overrepresented on here is about to fade more now as they kinda continue the direction that moments-spirits and the last changing of the crowns shape already started? Except for interest in the older parts that will just get more and more rare... i wonder if anybody in forexample trials (or for freestyle for that matter) is actually hyped for these qaxle cranks though?

I think it’s gonna be better overall, but I’m not hyped for a bunch of my stuff to be obsolete.

The trials riders should probably be happiest about it since they don’t tend to use a bunch of different crank lengths and getting a hub that won’t break that’s like 300g lighter than a spirit hub is pretty solid

36ers are the ones that lose out imo. 100mm bearing spacing with internal disc is really poor bracing angles on the big wheel

Doesn't make sense for KH to go this way for street and flatland. I say perfect scenario would be to bring back the moments for street/flat unicycles then stick to these for trials/Mountain/road stuff.

It must be pretty annoying that if you ride MUni or distance you can just expect an off the shelf KH to be fine, but if you do rolls or anything else on the cranks you pretty much have to replace the cranks immediately

The zero-Q cranks look pretty good, with probably more platform to stand on than the moments and a steel pedal insert like the moments have. I don’t know how the little nub for the pinch bolts will feel doing rolls though

@Jean thanks for linking this video!! This is amazing, this guy has such a good attitude and seems to be loving the game. Such a good sign

daff that is SO DAMN cool!!

Its gamejoining time ⏳️💜🙌

Yeah missed out this week... Will try and be back in next week!

Its time sam! 😘

Turn the drought around! Join me and scott in the lineup

Com'on y'all, it's game time

ooof wish I could join this week! My une is in portugal right now and all my spare parts are in storage :/

Yeah....didn't get a chance to ride for the second week in a row 😭

Finally back in the game next week! Let's get a few more in!?

What are the general rules for naming overflip+spin tricks? I just landed what I think would be called hick overflip... overflip-180 unispin. But then there is 180 unispin-overflip which has also been called hick overflip and 180 overflip. But it can't be 180 overflip because that could also mean an overflip with a 180° hoptwist... So would I call the trick I landed over-hick-flip? Because if i call it hick overflip then what would 180spin-overflip be called? I'm confused

Honestly I'd just call what you did an overflip-180 unispin! I think we as a community shot ourselves in the foot by naming things hick overflip and trey overflip early on (when they should have just been called 180 unispin - overflip and 360 unispin overflip) because eventually we progress and actually start landing things like treyflip-underflip and then all previous naming is compromised. I think just break it down to it's most basic components and call it that, otherwise we run into all sorts of edge cases

congrats btw – cool trick!

That makes sense... thanks Colby!

Totally agree with colby!

Wait a sec hellno i cant agree with colby on that, sounds more like you did an overhick?

I do think its a great idea to break it down! and if the name gets long you can use '1spin' instead of oneeigttyunispin, but if you had both spin n flip after the over i think thats pretty much overhick? 🤷‍♂️

I had a fun video releasing today, but guess i'll have to wait 30 days, because my 50 subs youtube channel using an extract of a modified version of a song really hurts youtube's capital

So the reason I wouldn't say "overhick", is because in my head a hickflip is exclusively a seat-in-front 1spin with a flip. If you're not doing exactly that the word hick should not be used. Even more, I'm guessing he didn't actually do a hick, but more of an outflip?

I think the etymological issue here stems from the fact that the affixes under/over can only be placed either before or after the affixes hick/trey/fifth/… So for the name to be recognizable, it only allows the over/under tricks to be performed either before or after the spin, which only makes sense up to half a turn. After that, starting with trey, the under/over can be performed at the beginning, in the middle or at the end. And that’s not even talking about having additional flips thrown in there.

So all in all, even though I usually really like names that make sense, I think breaking it down is the only logical option, unless we rethink the whole under/over thing.

or maybe just do like skaters and give it a weird name based on an animal or the greek alphabet ;)

Anyone going to Unicon next summer? Just registered today!

Prices are going up on Dec.09 BTW, make sure to register and pay before that if you entend on participating

I'm going!

Going 🤚

👋

I will 🥷

planning on it! might not be able to leave Portugal due to visa stuff but I'm 80% sure we'll be fine!

I'll be there🫡

Hi there 👋🏼 Former unicyclist in the middle of a (hopefully ridiculously awe-inspiring) comeback story 12 years in the making.

Anyway, I can't seem to fill in my profile info. It doesn't save after clicking save. Nor does it allow me to input my location (USA).

I have the same issue. I set up an account with skrrrt this summer and have tried multiple times since then to fill in my profile info, but nothing ever saves

Get that info in! I need to read up on both of ya

I’ll look into it!

alright I think I nailed down the problem – looks like there was a cookie issue that prevented users from properly logging out. If you have any issues, try logging out and then logging back in. Also the location input is working again so update those locations!

Mmm...still not working for me. Map works but profile info doesn't save even after logging out, force stopping, clearing all data and cache and logging back in.

Same here :(

I logged out, restarted my browser (chrome), and logged back in - still didn't save. Then I cleared all my cookies, restarted my browser, and tried again... still didn't save

have you tried the app? maybe it would work differently

Alright I dug through the logs to see if I could track down the errors happening on that specific page, and found what was going on! I think we should be all set – let me know if it works, and thanks for flagging the issue!

It works now! Thanks, Colby!

Hello all, Is anyone getting exciting unicycle related presents for Christmas?!

Possibly, but me and my family are moving back to the US in march so we want to conserve space. Because shipping is soo expensive.

For Christmas I got myself a new flatland unicycle. It has a genuine 20"x2.3" (not 19" trials) wheel made by Mad4One with a set of 110mm M4O Tecno cranks (as well as a pair of 125mm when I want less speed and more control). The frame is a KH20 with a KH Fusion Slim.

Pictured here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/1YQboVAeific5iG26

Looking forward to riding soon Matthew! Great looking une

Blue rollos bonding nice with the kh 👌

just registered for EUC! never been before so verrrry excited!

Where will EUC 2024 be?

That unicycle looks great Matthew!! That will have you excited to be back at it ❤️

Trey winter EUCs are always in Cologne (Köln), Germany!

👍

happy holidays everyone!

Happy holidays 🎊

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas! 🎄

Hey people, I wish you a merry Christmas and I hope everyone is safe and doing well. Had covid 2 weeks ago so had to take it easy, but now Im back into riding again :D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_qByPw72zc&t=2s

Happy New Year everyone!

Happy New Year! Anybody have any unicycling new years resolutions? Tricks to land? Ride more often? Other uni-related goals?

happy new year everyone! you can't have too much unicycling in your life, so i guess even more riding would be my resolution ^^

To answer your question Trey, my goals this year are to get consistent 5spins, land my first 7spin, and regain my double and triple-crankflips. Heck, maybe even land a uniwhip 🤪

I wrote a rideplan for the year but to be realistic it is now looking quite tragic prob wont compete at unicon if it goes according to this plan anyways looking forward to meetup everyone there and get back in games later this year 😚🤘💜

I’m back!

and I just finished the game

It's game-time! Anyone else gonna join? The more the merrier!

Finally had my first session since November during the week! Annnndd I'm back in the game! Hopefully will find time to compete more in the coming months 😀

My une is in Portugal but we head back on Monday, so I won't be able to join this upcoming game but will definitely be in the ones after!

Can someone go and finish filming a couple of unicycle street edits for me and Alex Jones? It's taking too long to get around to finishing them 😞 Or at least release your own street edit 😃

Id love to but winter here on the northern hemisphere you know 😪

My first bigger video is coming pretty soon....

been sick for a week now so no game for me for now :/

Nice Levi!! Can't wait!

Levi, that part was SOLID loveliest watch in a while

I just watched your video, Levi, it was so good! so many cool, creative tricks and combos! I love it!

I'm so happy you guys like it!

Levi, will you be at UniCon21?

I'm planning to go and I'm super excited about it.

Awesome! look forward to meeting you there!

so pumped to meet you to

Hey Colby you were in my dream last night! Unicon was in Portugal, and you were hosting. You were doing a fantastic job too! That’s it. Hope you, Michelle and Beau are doing well over there :) Love you, have a great day y’all!

I'm a last minute addition to the game. It's looking pretty short though! Anyone else?!

Sorry I missed the game gonna do your sets now. They are fire I have to say!

Aww thanks Hugo! You are welcome any time!!

I was wondering if anyone has every done kick side flip? or maybe kick dolphin flip?

Kick side flips was Sean Minters thing, he's done trey side kickflip as well

Just jumped in the next game. Line up looks good!

Not as excited now haha. That's some hard tricks and combos 😳

I've been trying revflip and having some difficulty with it.. can't seem to stay above the uni, it keeps going out from behind me once I release my feet after the rev (also makes it impossible to commit because I can't see the wheel at all 😂) Any tips? Or is there a tutorial somewhere? I haven't been able to find one

also, I was wondering who has done a rev outflip or rev full out flip? I'm sure someone has... seems like if you can do a revflip then you could add a 1spin to the flip

gonna make everyone at EUC join and upload for next weeks game haha

convert everyone to skrrrtism!

Hey! On my way to Unicon, I'll be stopping by Mandan, North Dakota (where Shaun Johanesson is originally from and filmed most of his old videos), just for the lolz. I found his 8 set and his skatepark on Google, anyone knows of any other spots?

Is there an archive of the actual videos on unicycle.tv, or are those lost forever?

Sounds great Hugo! I don't know the location of any more spots but look forward to seeing your antics in those old-school locations!

Nick, no idea about unicycle.tv clips but also wouldn't mind knowing! Also I wonder about old forum clips from games and such...

So, I've moved away from FB entirely (basically from when Skrrrt dropped!). I'm only on here and my unicycling IG in terms of social media... Have I been missing any quality videos on the Urban Unicycle Chat page or anywhere else on FB? I'm not curious enough to trawl back through that horrid app and find out...

I've got access to Olaf's server for all the old UTV videos! Gonna try and find time to download them all and re-serve them on skrrrt

I can't think of a more perfect answer to my question. Thanks Colby!

duuuuude all the old unicycle.tv vids?!?!? such a treasure trove!!

Does anyone remember a video of Krisz back in the day doing handpass 630 and 720?

Back in the day i think

but i can’t say which is this one

Yeah same, was interested to see what hand pass he was using!

The oldest footage of him doing a 630 I can recall was in LIFE somewhere in 2008 I guess. If I remember correctly, he was indeed doing hand passes, which blew me away back then. I believe LIFE is still online on Vimeo…

https://vimeo.com/6076393 Here we go. Looks like he does it for the 630s, but not the 720.

I've been trying sej flips, both throw sejs and the handpass sej... the uni spins completely out of control as soon as my hand leaves it when i try the throw sejs, maybe i'm not directing it towards myself enough? And I feel like my hands can't quite move fast enough for the handpass (maybe i just need more airtime). Any tips?

Dm waylon :p

Thanks Hugo! I think that might have been the video I was imagining. The seat backwards 720 is sort of passed as well, amazing for way back then!

Trey I think the Handpass will come with time, don't worry. For throwing sejes I don't have experiences sadly :/

Check out my new video:https://youtu.be/sktoBc9JIQE?si=kBve8l2z9TzAKH5F

UF team smashing the game with submissions this week!

Does anyone have tips for the handpass on 540 spins? I use the handlesaddle and cant get a grip on it when changing the hand during the spin

I found 540 handpass almost impossible on the handle saddle. Have done them for years and years on normal saddles and just couldn't get it to work on the handle saddle... Clement does a good job of it though!

Should I just try throwing the spin then or how can I acquire the Clement method of doing them?

One way could be trying 360unispin to instant outspin (with the same hand position that youre going for on the end of the 5) The combo gives you a little more time but practice with the motion til you can squeeze it all into the first jump

Got any riding mates over in espoo jussi? Curious cause finish scene is snall what i know of (in sweden as well now 😒) Ever ridden with hermani from Turku?

No never heard of Hermanni. The only active riders that I know of are my two older brothers

My oldest brother used to have quite a few friends also riding but they are all old and have quit a while ago. Do the sjönnebys ride anymore?

Martin was kinda quitting somewhere around 2016 if i dont have it wrong now, havent met him now in like four years so i dont really know 🤷‍♂️Josef keeps coming back now and then for a sesh or a trip and still got it for sure! But also with him i dont know the current shape of the passion! He was on for the last unicon and danish championships too 🤘👊💜

*danisch convention AKA "DUC"

Ah alright. My oldest brother had one session with Josef in helsinki many years ago and I was so jealous. Is there any more active riders in sweden besides you?

For the freestylie disciplines its looking really thin but the last life signes ive seen was prob from trials riders Arvid Sandstedt and Erik Winterfeldt, and a boy called Benny Klingenstam who took a couple sessions and joined a few games here

Okay so almost as nonexistent as finlands riders

Yea :( so let me know if you get a chance to come over! <3

Will do :)

Jussi my sister-in-law and her husband (he's Finnish) live in Lithuania at the minute but spend summers back in Helsinki and eventually will move back. Next time I go visit them I'll hit you up!

Oh hell yeah lets have a session then!

to the younger generation of riders – may we never forget this masterpiece https://vimeo.com/3054769

I mean the uni riding was nice but thw scooter is a bit goofy imo

are there any videos from the winter euc this year?

Haven't seen this one for ages!! Must agree about some of the scooter riding. I don't think slow motion helps it out haha. Loved Krisz' riding though. That seat backwards handpass 720 was sick! Also the triple back down the ledge was on point 👌

Hi everyone, I'd like to ask for recommendations about parts. Today I cracked my second Impact seatpost in 6-7 months, after just one day of trying flip-underflip. In the past several months I have also snapped an Impact frame and Impact saddle. It seems the culprit is bigger flip tricks, so I've barely even been doing double flips lately just because I've been scared to break my saddle or post. I have an older seatpost and frame set up which is stronger but a lot heavier – I could use that and wouldn't have to worry about my post breaking, but then I'd worry about my saddle breaking. Has anyone else had similar issues with Impact parts? I would really like to know what alternatives there are, alternatives that aren't 5x the cost

I'd really recommend the mad4one seatpost – kinda heavy but just won't break. It's really nice knowing that's one part I'll never have to worry about again. But like you mentioned, a strong seatpost just means more stress on your seat, so the only real solution is a carbon fiber base unfortunately – that or a mad4one handle saddle, but 🫣

Thanks Colby! I was wondering about the handle saddle Clement uses. It's definitely cheaper but yeah a lot of riders dislike it. I'd like to give it a try though. I'm sure it's less comfortable, but us flat riders aren't doing much sitting on the seat anyway. Are certain types of tricks more difficult or awkward with it?

I feel like any tricks with handpasses are harder on the handlesaddle but otherwise it feels way nicer then the normal plastic saddles

Be prepared to relearn a lot of tricks with handlesaddle, my 5-spins was almost consistent with normal saddle and then when I get handlesaddle it felt like learning all over again (but it was whole new uni for me, so that may be a factor too). I've riding handlesaddle since then and I love it!

I found standup scary with it trey, specially to try coast there, cause it kinda misses the concave on side seen from top if you know what i mean. Its wider in middle than some other regular bases, and also slimmer at the back. So this shape made it real smooth to take easily between seatin and out imo but harder to lock in between calves 🤔 but i also need more hours on standup so that might be my technique missing

Thanks for all the input guys! I feel more educated on handle saddle and I'm definitely even more interested in it now. However, I also don't want to buy it and have it shipped all the way out to me in West Africa to find out whether I really like it or not. So I think I'll wait till UniCon and ask Clement or Pavel if I can give their uni a test ride and get the feel for it before I commit to buying one myself or not. For now, I'll just have to put flip-underflip and double-back on hold and wait for UniCon. So excited for it!

When I tested the handlesaddle it felt great for a lot of tricks especially rolls and coasts but it was a bit less comfortable. In the end I did not bother switching to a completely. But for you I'm sure that you either need the handlesaddle or carbon fiber base no matter what and i don't see you not doing bad with either of them. In the end it comes down to preference I think

One thing – I feel like the handle saddle would be better if it was a bit smaller – but I also have the same critique with normal saddles. I think people with monster hands like Michael Bachleda who can squeeze the juice out of a saddle have it so nice, but for people with normal sized hands saddles are too wide in the middle to get gripped as hard as they could otherwise could be

Which dimension is too big for you? Length, width, height, depth of handle? I've never noticed anything like that but I'm curious if I've just not been paying close enough attention.

Also question for Colby, is there any update on the open sourcing of skrrrt v2? I've been instilled with the motivation to work on personal coding projects recently more than usual.

Im with colby there if we're talking width in the middle of it

Yep width in the middle. You lose so much strength in your hand by not being able to grip the seat to death if your have normal size hands. I'm noticing it lately a lot. I rode the same carbon fiber base for 9 years, and road with very little foam, and nearly nothing on the sides, and I could grip it SO tight. Now I'm on a newer carbon fiber that feels wider, plus I have normal foam, AND I have some bad thumb pain from it being bent backwards on so many landings, that I can't grip my seat nearly as hard as I used to be able to. I just went out for a ride and after a few tries at bigger spins my thumb was really feeling it. Also, I think seats are longer than they need to be. You have to spead your legs quit far before you can actually spin the seat underneath you. When I was younger I used to take off my handle to try bigger spins because losing those extra centimeters on the handle length helped a ton.

Nick I'm actually working on a rewrite lol. Not gonna fuss opening up this one if a new one is coming. Work / kiddo / wifey / moving to Portugal has taken up all my time tho lol

It's coming tho!

Shorter sounds great for spins but for coast i doubt it 😌

Ive got real trouble writing slightly longer messages on my android, it doesnt really push the text up above the keyboard if you know what i mean so it just keeps going down so at about ThiS point im starting to write blindly 'underneath' my keyboard

So when i write anything longer than that i gotta hit return button to close the keyboard and check the spelling and wherever i hit the wrong button on the keyboard i need to make sure i hit it at exactly that spot for correcting cause once the keyboard is up again its back to blind writing, if that makes any sense?

Thats my biggest struggle and feedback for the rewrite now if theres anything you can do to get it in order colby 😅 or i just gotta stop writing essays in here #sorry

so strange! anyone else on android have this issue? i'll definitely take a look into it ivar!

Yeah I also have this issue. Didnt really mind it since I dont write so long messages but I thought it was a bit weird

Two clement clips failed upload this week :p clement and colby can you set it up? 🙏

Hey! What's up, we've just dropped our aftermovie of our trip and our ride at euc on YouTube on the Pierre's channel, I'm going to send the link if anyone wants to check that

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiPFSNiEhvw

Hope you will enjoy ;)

Loved it Stéphane!

Colby, I also have this issue, but not even on longer messages. Just straight from the start... I need to drop the keyboard down to see any of the text I'm writing in chat. Android 12 on Sony Xperia 5ii

Also, by the end of that one It was also disappearing as Ivar said so I couldn't even see it when the keyboard was dropped down...

Hey Colby, do you have any clue if/when youre coming to Finland this summer?

I think we pushed the trip off until later in the fall if I remember. We still don't have our residency cards for Portugal so we're kinda stuck until we get them

Ah alright. Good to know

I'm all alone on the roster 🙁 looking for more people to join the upcoming game 🙏

I’m playing no worry🤜

2h of 540antiside, 4 air chamber😑

And not landed lol

As I'm getting back into riding, I'm curious... How much time are you guys sinking into practicing tricks to get consistent, vs landing new stuff? Across 5 sessions (an hour and a half-ish each), I've landed 2 total varial rolls... I was grinding to land it for the entirety of each session. I should add that 10 years ago I had it consistent.. but it's been a while! Now that I'm back at it, I can reasonably devote about an hour and a half, 3x per week to riding. Nowhere near the session frequency/length I had when I was younger. I'd like to re-learn my old bag of tricks, to start. Any tips on maximizing my sessions and time to hit this goal? a) grind trick until landing once or twice, then move on to the next one? b) land and get a trick consistent before considering putting time into another one? c) just mess around and try to land a bunch of easier 'in reach' things? Should I bother being 'deliberate' at all with my sessions, or just let things come more naturally? What works for you? (I'll be riding flatland mostly) Thanks!

Im drawn to option C there. Although i love a conscious strategy i feel like theres a lot of stuff you cant be deliberate about that can help you lots. Little surprises along the way and the fun in finding something random

With that said i like to think of tricks as groups or even 'ladders' of certain techniques to have a bunch of ideas to try while still getting better at those all or the higher goal on that ladder if you know what i mean?

When I sesh, I usually do all three. I'm not very deliberate with my sessions, but I still usually go into each one with some sort of goal or two. Consistency is very important, but not as fun as just "messing around" and not as satisfying as landing a new trick.

Huge news for STREET UNI X today: Trailer Premiere and Release Date announcement happening on this stream in just under 1.5 hours, 9PM EST / 6PM PST https://www.twitch.tv/secretsleepoversociety

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WAYtCuHU0o

For your viewing pleasure!!

that was the dopest promo i have EVER SEEN omg

So sick Daff!!

I watched the recent stream from Veldin Studios as well, game is looking great, can't wait to get on it!!

What an awesome trailer and edit!!!!

Any certain tips relearning outside rolls?

Try just mounting into them to start. Even try mounting half way through the roll to break it down. Then it's really just about getting your centre of balance right over the une from the outside of your foot which feels strange. I usually do a blind 180 unispin into mine which feels easiest. Otherwise out of a varial roll is even easier if you can varial roll!

Keep the uni right under you!!

when I was learning rolls like outside roll and back roll, I always practiced the second half of the roll first, then when I got that down, I tried the first half, knowing that if I got past that I could finish the roll. I felt like that helped me a lot.

Thanks guys! Outside roll is the strangest feeling flat trick I've encountered so far

Learning the mount first and specifically nailing the 2nd half of it first, are amazing suggestions!

How do you get out of the outside roll? Do you do a bodyvarial in the end or somethig else?

I'm not the guru with outside rolls really haha, but I usually do a body varial (or body varial to normal back roll) But have also done a reverse(?) sidejump or 90 body varial to tyre and spin down.

yeah, those are the normal ways to finish outside roll. I've also done it without the body varial, so in the second half of the roll I hop from the outside crank back to pedals (I think Ivar called it something like r3j8 ?)

Thanks for fielding questions, I don't know the best place to ask some of these and am jazzed to find people to talk shop with.

On that idea i'd say r5j6 or r7j8 Trey ;) arbitrary numbers hard to follow at first of course but thats on this fragmentational idea of just breaking it down to three symetry lines, which i do think is a pretty good way to practice rolls cause 8 variations aint that many to run through in the end anyways at least on a basic move level

And looking at it that way i'd say outsiderolls are just outside jumprolls (and backrolls are back jumprolls) so i wouldnt necessarily number both the roll and the jump there but only put one number after the term jumproll. But people are doing bodyvarials in outsiderolls on default and calling a backroll with a bodyvarial an “inward backroll”[?¿!] so im gonna try and not get into that anymore here 😅 and just keep my symetrical grammar to myself…

Speaking of naming conventions for tricks.. I have no idea what anything is called anymore past the basic roll variations xD Are we still using inward/outward for naming conventions? I'm seeing 'r5j6' and feeling like so much has changed! I have no idea what that means lol There's a really sick trick I'd love to learn, and want to know the name of it. It's like a step-over outside back-rolling-wrap (LOL)? I've seen this combo'd and chained repeatedly... It's just so smooth. Precisely timestamped one done by Clement Pujol below. https://youtu.be/wL4lL-omIfY?si=jeU9UDqHtEMubTop&t=76

Dont mind that about r5j6 if youre looking for whats changed and what namings are currently being used

Thats a backXroll right at the timestamp!

(Find one by Fuo also in the ongoing game)

I see a lot of people riding with Nike shoes nowadays. Is there a particular model that people prefer?

haha don't worry Brendan, I think Ivar is the only one using that naming system for rolls ;)

Nick, I was wondering the same thing... I use Vans a lot but the lining around the sole always separates so quickly, and duct tape can only save them for another couple weeks.

earlier this year I found a pair of knock-off Nikes in the market in West Africa that I got for like 2 bucks, and they were the best shoes I've ever had, they lasted about 3 or 4 months without needing any duct tape or anything

Vulc 👎👎👎 cup 👍👍👍

Vulc 👍👍👍

i got some adidas vulc raid3rs, they feel as good as vans, but the sole just stays in place! (it doesn't tear away like Trey mentioned). Plus the fabric is also very durable.

Ivar, what is 'cup 👍👍👍' ? Right now I ride Globe Motley Mids (non-faux fur version) Pros: - They take a LOT of abuse and still look unscathed. - Top tier ankle protection and support - Comfortable & look nice off the uni - Flip tricks feel good in them Cons: - Kinda heavy / wide / clunky - sometimes they jam between my cranks & tire during flat roll tricks. - A bit stiff, harder to get good 'feel' in the feet I'm going to experiment with Adiddas retrovulc mids in the next week, since I've been relearning flat rolls. They seem a bit thinner and still offer ankle protection. Adidas Bravada mid also looks great.

Those Motley's are a vulcanised sole. It means the sole is glued to the strip that runs around the edge of the sole joining it to the upper. Cup is one piece for the sole and the strip rather than glued. Take a look at Nike Dunk high's sole.

cup is one piece!? I'd expect that one to be better since you don't have to worry about it separating 🤔 what is the secret weakness that makes it inferior to vulc?

As sam explained ^^ in my early years i tried a bunch of shoes before i saw this pattern (and later learned the names of them through skating) In skate theres a lot of riders on both sides, seems like we have that two huh, i always figured on uni that seem on the vulcanized get even more stress when on cranks and or crown

Trey , i've heard a lot of vulc skaters say they want more closeness and boardfeel. This going together with cupsoles often being thicker more protective shoes. But im not a thick shoe rider!!! Im strongly on the cupsole camp but with liight lowancle cupsole. So for me with this option i dont see the need for vulc but i guess everyone is different

Huh I had no idea about the different sole types. Never looked into it much so appreciate the explanations

I'm definitely a cup sole rider BTW Trey! Especially when I'm doing rolls. I find the vulc's come apart a lot quicker... I went through a stack of shoes in my early rolls days and Nike's cup soles usually hold up the best. The longest lasting shoes I ever had were from a surf shop that was closing down and had a pair of Adio Mid's with cup sole. Those things took some abuse! With rolls on old-school quax cranks as well... I don't think Adio exist anymore though 😞

Colby, can we add Street Uni X to the game somehow? (Or just put it as some of our submissions 😅) Keen to have some kind of competition in it!

Yes lol – upload your Street Uni X clips as submissions!!

Hahaha, brilliant! I'll have to take a better look at the game as I didn't see a "replay" function or any kind of video export. Might involve just screen recording a session and cutting the footage down for clips. Will try and get something for the upcoming game though 😅

Just played around an hour of Street Uni X and totally forgot to film a line 😑

Next week I guess!

Snuck an easy one in before work 😀

Question for my older/busy pals: how long do you manage to make you sessions last? In preparation for Unicon, I’ll try to squeeze in at least one one-hour session everyday before I leave. But for various reasons, I find it hard already after only 3 days. Time is a factor with work and life and all. And then there’s the beating up; my hands are covered in blisters, my thighs are chafing and my right forearm is super sore…

I think i'm usually between one and two hours today when i can get a sesh

We'll see how unicon goes haha

I'm usually around 1 hour for a solo session at home. If I manage to get to a skatepark on my own maybe 2 hours or if it's with someone else 3-4. That "own the park" session I did about 4 hours actual riding I think 🫠

Hey Hugo! I remember you from the Unicyclist.com era! If I recall you had a bright pink (and white?) uni, and you would post weekly vids of new tricks you were landing. Cool to see you still around! I started riding again 2 months ago after 13 years, so I relate to the chafing and blisters. I have a 2 year old and work full time, so riding consistently in has been difficult. In preparation for Unicon, I'm trying for 3-4 sessions per week, for 30-90 minutes each. Conveniently, a day or two between sessions has helped me with recovery. Especially since I'm getting back into it. Hope I get to see you at Unicon!

Yeah hahah that would be younger me with the pink uni on Unicyclist.com. What was your username back then? I bet smart sport-training people would agree with you regarding recovery days between sessions. But time is running out, so I figured I would try to cram as many sessions as possible before Unicon. I guess blisters and soreness are sort of part of the re-training process...

@Sam: a 4h session sounds crazy to me these days hahah! But probably when you're hanging out with others, you ride less and take longer breaks to recover, so it evens out.

I'm about the same. 2hrs for a typical skatepark session, but I need a day or 2 for recovery. You just have to listen to your body and build up your capacity over time. In theory you'll probably get faster skill increase from more frequent, shorter sessions without pushing yourself to exhaustion? I haven't had any issues with chafing since I started wearing compression shorts. I'm getting into gloves too when my hands need a break.

4 hours sessions are definitely full of more breaks and motivation from being in a group/pair.. I also wear compression tights, full length for me though to stop that shin guard chafe as well! I haven't been wearing gloves of late but do tend to blister up after longer sessions, so definitely would be if having daily sessions!

Man, this platform is great. I’ll seem silly, but I completely forgot I used to wear biking shorts and gloves. Thanks for the tips boys!

And Luke, yeah that totally makes sense. There’s a fine line between enough and too much, and it makes your efforts useless if you cross it and get exhausted or injured.

So good to have a purely unicycling platform to ask questions, share thoughts and play games etc. isn't it!?

Word. And the motivation to go out and ride is awesome. I really doubt I'd have picked up my une anytime soon if it weren't for skrrrt.

Practicing 1ft coast today. Any tips? I’m decent at 2ft coast, but this seems like a whole different game. Speed, hand on saddle, seat heat, flat or slightly sloped?

https://youtu.be/FVdSTG7wgX8

Practiced my balance as well as coasting yesterday and today, since I couldn’t hop at all after session 05.

I'm rubbish at any coasting. I have heard 1 foot coast is to do with keeping the hanging leg straight though. Not sure what else 😅 Great that you're riding still when you're worn out! I filmed a little footpath session riding the hype wave again last night that I'll edit in the next few days 😎

Awesome, can’t wait to see that!

Just curious, do you Skrrrt guys and girls prefer all the attempts in a vlog style video to see the mental and physical grind for the land? Or just one or two and the land??

I like to see the attempts

Same. The more unicycle content, the better!

Still can't hold the handle because my right hand is full of blisters, so I was a trials rider again today. Quick clip from my late night sess: https://youtu.be/aOVUW9yhdt0

Sam, I also love the attempts and the 'behind the scenes'. You'd be interested to know that the first trey-side I ever saw was a single clip uploaded by Luke C. IIRC, it was off of a flat-rail in his backyard or something. He made it look easy. It never would have occurred to me how many hours of riding were behind that. It blew my mind.

I couldn't appreciate the sheer perseverance at the time. This was my own fault, I just didn't have a growth-mindset yet. A small window to the struggle behind a trick to me is super entertaining, but it's also crazy motivating.

That's awesome man, yeah I'm pretty sure Luke was the first to land a trey side (360 side was done by Kevin McMullin before) as well as a bunch of other tricks early in the scene! Insane amount of power of mind and body to land world first tricks I imagine!

Well I've finally finished the edit haha, dropping a post on here and it's on my Youtube 😅

Here is the highlights of my last Unicon hype vlog on my Instagram for those not wanting the whole vlog! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9Phyr6SkD8/?igsh=M3E1YmZxNDFqdXBv

I’ll be laying in bed at night, and the thought that Kevin McMullin, of all people, was the first person to land a sidespin, will pop in my head and keep me awake. I mean no disrespect to him and what he’s done, he’s a legend in every sense of the word. But it still doesn’t make sense to me hahaha! Before I saw the video, I didn’t even know he could do spins.

(Notwithstanding the old argument about Felix Dietze actually landing a sidespin first. The concept was there, but the hand pass wasn’t. On tape at least.)

(Again, no disrespect to Felix as well eheh! Great guy, insane talent and creativity)

Yeah both pretty wild landing side spins hey... It was very early in the piece though! Not many people pushing yet. But you would think that a french flatlander, Shaun J or Luke would have landed one first!

What are some of your NBDs Luke? I think I know of Trey double, Trey side, Trey fakie (?), 720, some inward stuff maybe? I wasn’t interested enough in flip tricks in 2007-ish to understand everything that was going on…

Sorry if I’m being too much of a fan-boy… :P

haha not at all! As far as flat tricks... yes to those trey variations, I don't think the '720' hoptwist really counts, fakie 540 hoptwist, outsideflip I think, inward small fakieflip. Trey fakieflip was probably the one I was most excited about and was my favorite trick for a while.

That's awesome. Is full out fakieflip part of the list as well? Or was that Dan or Alex?

I still can't fulloutfakieflip! I really want to learn though. Not sure who landed that one first?

I still have memories of a very old Back it up game on the forums where Luke FINISHED the game by posting a blind trey fakie flip... No one stood a chance back then!

Honestly, not many people would stand a chance even today! :P

Just me in the game this week 😔 too much excitement for Unicon! Hope everyone there/going there soon has a great time 😀

Shoot! I just came back from a ride, and didn't even think about the game.

I'll join tomorrow for sure!

Can we submit mid-game? I believe we could at some point, so I prepared 2 tricks. But if not, no biggie, I’ll just keep them for next week (and try and convince a bunch of rats at Unicon to join the game!)

Yeah I don't think so. You can only add submissions not sets mid game.

Do it man!! Get everyone in!

For anyone that wouldn’t know, quite a few finals are live streamed on the Unicon YouTube page: https://m.youtube.com/@unicon-unicycleconvention9298/streams

Not quite the same as the real deal, but as close as it gets!

It's so cool just how many unicyclists there are, which enables there to be these massive conventions with great production quality. This whole thing must take huge effort

Also, I never fully appreciated how tiny the 'urban' scene is compared to the larger community. We're a small bunch relative to distance, Muni, freestyle, etc. And that's actually REALLY cool to see.

Haha… it seems Sam has been all alone on skrrrt the past two weeks. everyone has been so busy at UniCon. I’ll try to get lots of riders in next weeks game though.

I'll be back at it tomorrow. Had a blast at Unicon.

I didn't land all that I set out to, but I did unlock backflips, caught crankflips, and outflip before and rolling my ankle hard on a full-outflip attempt 😂 I got 25 signatures on my shoe!

Hey! I don’t know how all the cool kids talk to each other nowadays, but everyone at Unicon should definitely film at least one trick for the skrrrt game. Spread the word please.

It was really nice to meet and chat with you Brendan! Bummer you couldn’t stay longer and get a few more tricks back. Hopefully we’ll get to sesh together at some point in the future! :)

Haha, I have somewhat at that. I have also been polishing my street edit and watching Unicon content though 😊

Have had a bad fall last week hope to be back on the une soon for the games!

Rough Jan, hope you're well soon 🙏

Likewise, Hugo! Thanks for taking the time. Even though we didn't get to session, meeting you in person was a highlight of the trip! Hope you're back at it soon Jan! Recover quick :)

Yes Hugo! We have to get as many riders as we can on next weeks game! Force them to do a set!

Anyone on skrrrt seeing this: join the game! If you’re late this week, add a set for next week! Even if you’re a beginner or you’re new to skrrrt… it’s about challenging yourself and others! The more, the merrier!

Jakob and I will have sets this week!

So this is embarrassing... I'm not actually sure how the 'games' and sets here work. Can someone explain? I'd love to participate

For sure Brendan! The way the game works is you get one point for every set you upload and one point for every submission to someone else's set. The game resets every week on Sunday at midnight Greenwich Mean Time. To upload your own set, go to Games and click the Search button up top. You have the option of active, archived, and upcoming games. (The archive is really cool because you can look back at all the sets and submissions since the beginning of skrrrt.) Go to Upcoming and add your set/sets for the next weeks game. (write the name, add a description, and upload the video file) You can upload 1-3 sets each week. The goal is to respond to as many people's sets as you can!

I hope this is also helpful for anyone else new on skrrrt

Thanks Trey!

More questions: 1) what is a 'set' exactly? - Is multiple tricks in one video considered a set? - Or, Is it one trick per video? - Are sets supposed to be uploaded all at once, or can you add to it over the course of the week? 2) When responding to someone else's set, are you just doing the tricks that they did like a game of Horse? How exactly does that work? Thanks in advance!

A set can be one trick, one combo, or a line of a few tricks. I’m not sure about uploading sets over the course of the week because I always do them at the same time (personally, I think if you do multiple sets, they should be from the same session, not from different days, but that’s just my opinion). You upload your sets for next week’s game, so that when the game resets on Sunday, your set shows up with everyone else’s. You can’t add a set to the active game

For your second question, yes, it’s a lot like the game of Horse. But you can specify the instructions for the trick in your description of the set. For example, if your set is one foot coasting, you could write in the description “has to be at exactly 5 revs” or you could say “as far as you are able to / want to”

Awesome! I understand now thanks Trey :)

Next session I will try to film a set for next week's game <3

Great! Looking forward to seeing you in the next game 😁

heyyy

u awake?

anyone have any impact rollos they would sell me?

There's a solid chance I might have a pair, if I don't get back to you today shoot me a dm louis

Hey Dale, what’s that wrist brace thing you had at UniCon? I hurt my wrist and I’m thinking about getting one

Just an ace bandage wrist wrap

would highly recommend

ok. does yours have the plastic brace in the front (and over your palm) or in the back?

It's pretty much just some cloth wrapped around, I've got another with that metal bracket but I think i prefer the wrap

Man... I just found out all of Alen Turic's youtube vids are gone. Only the ones other people uploaded are still out there :/

ALSO omg who was I talked to at unicon about an old grainy vid from like 15 years ago of a guy grabbing the tire, throwing his uni on the ground, and he jumps on when it whips around? I found it

Can you post the link?

https://youtu.be/iTPlLhwIf-k?si=QhGRAbrDqzwfjw1j

Lots of fun creative stuff there!

I think that was me. Thanks so much for finding the video! I've wanted to see it again for a really long time

Yessir! I remember the conversation just forgot who it was with haha. Found it buries in my liked videos playlist

What is the correct spelling? Riddim roll or rhythm roll? I know rhythm (bam bam bam) is spelled like that but I saw a lot of people using riddim and now I’m confused🙈

Rhythm is the correct spelling. Riddim is just people spelling it wrong on purpose, I hear it is cooler that way 😉😂

Riddimmmmm

I hear it comes from that team https://youtu.be/XsP_1hRaVqU?feature=shared

As far as i know it still means 'bam bam bam' but as you see the team name was spelled riddim and so the trick too i think

Aah thanks both for the replies 😅 great haha!

Well, I learnt 2 new rolls this week, but it confirmed my initial feeling that the only purpose of rolls is to rip the sole of your shoes, and nothing else! :P

Rolls definitely have a place Hugo. They are for when you're injured and recovering to ride more street. Or for 1 creative clip in your street edit 😂

Sounds about right hahah! No but really, as long as I’m not doing them, I have nothing against rolls! They’re certainly fun to watch. And practicing them makes me appreciate more the complexity and subtlety of other people’s riding for sure

Hahaha, I actually quite enjoy doing them. They just tend to destroy my shoes as well. Also, I have my rollos off for serious street riding at the moment and I'm way to lazy too put them on for a rolls session 😅

Rolls are so much fun and I feel like it allows you to be even more creative! But I also agree with you, Hugo, my shoes get destroyed quickly… if Vans, the lining separates from the sole in just a few days (gotta have duct tape), if any other shoes, you just get a hole in the sole like the shoes I’m using currently haha

Depends of course on the shoe and also how sharp crank/rollo you use

My riding is like 97% rolls and i can often keep a pair of shoes prob almost a whole year, even then these Adidas cupsole sneakers dont get dug through by moments&impact rollos, softer but the rubber is holding longer than the tissue parts of the shoe for me now

I'm back in the game

So put your sets in today🤠

I set a roll for next week! 😱

For anyone not subscribed (likely most people as only has 32 subscribers...) here is a little rolls session of the Wizard! Nathan Miyachi, uploaded today!

https://youtu.be/N_uHR1ceGwM

Omg i havent seen nathan miyachis videos in like 10 years

WHAT!?! THE WIZARD IS BAAACCCCKK!?!!

Haha, naaaahhhh, turns out it's just an old video that he changed from private.

He replied to my comment though and does still have a une. I told him heaps of people are getting back into it and to go and film a vlog session! Hopefully he does 🙏

😭 no one joined the game last week

Its a sad day for the game haha

I think one rider (like you the week before trey) has been a few times but this might be a first time since launch?

Was busy at DUC edition 2 over here

Best freestyle convention there is today! All of you should consider denmark next year when its time for the third one

I've definitely dropped the ball of late! Been a busy year with moving into our new house, changing roles at work and usual kid stuff... I'll try and get back into it soon 🥲

My ankle still hasn't recovered since Unicon. I've just been lurking here and there. Doing some rehab & physical therapy, hoping to be able to ride again by November :)

2 games in a row 🫠 I'm having a ride with Luke C tomorrow, will try and grab a few clips for the next game!

for me its the same with injuries, slowly getting back but still in the recovery process

Weather has been on and off lately here and I've been busy, but I'll find time this week to film a few tricks as well for the game!

Hopefully Brendan and Jan you have a speedy recovery to get back at it soon!

If everything is ok, i’m setting for next week.🧌

Sounding like a proper game next week!!

I recently got a Garmin watch. Just wondering if anyone uses one to track flatland/street unicycling?

If so, what activity do you use as clearly urban unicycling isn't on there 🙈

You should probably put swimming haha... I know one or two people who ride with the fitness watches/bracelets and after their ride it says they did swimming

Hahaha! I just used generic cardio workout in the end 🤷‍♂️

I just put my sets in for the next game! :D

Submitted 2 of my 3 sets as well! Was hoping to land a third one to complete a series and for it to make sense, but I think I’ll run out of time… oh well!

Yay! We got a full game this week :)

Lots of street stuff, yeah!

Anyone else going to join this week? 😃

Jakob has clips, but apparently he’s too lazy to upload them! I’ll message him

Last minute sweep by Jakob!

has anyone made a revflip tutorial? I've never been able to figure out that trick

Nooooooooooooo I missed the time to set something for the game this week 😭😭😭 I'll still play though

hahaah im in need of such a tutorial also Trey :DDDD

Revflip tutorial: https://youtu.be/Wc8pi3ceR9A?feature=shared

Ah! This is a true revflip, actually a full rev. Most rev flips I have seen are half rev - 1.5 flip

I made sure to set something this week :)

Josef's style 😍

STREET UNI X shirts are a thing now for a limited time if yall are into that sort of thing!

https://theyetee.com/streetunix

Lovely!

3 of us in the game for next week already, get your sets in!

Scotty's new video... My goodness 🤯

It's incredible

for sure one of the best unicycling videos I've ever seen

And now Mimo's latest edit is out too! Slightly jealous of all the historic spots he hit along the way. 😳

interesting tricktalk on one of jakobs set i just had to add some of my thoughts on there. but we're almost on rotation so make sure to head in there and read and reply before it gets archived!

Yeah, great discussion! I agree that varial outside roll makes much more sense

Just read the discussion and as expected what you said Ivar and Trey makes sense to me :D

it wasn't easy but i've voted now ✔️

(for the video award)

Long time no see gang :) I haven't been active due to a non-une injury requiring surgery. I probs won't be able to ride again until spring, but chiming in to say what's up! I've been watching the weekly games here and there. Seeing some of the edits that have dropped since Unicon & the activity here has me so stoked to get back at it ASAP. Hope you all are doing well

best recovery to you 🙌

Let’s try to get some people in the game this week so we don’t have another empty game!

I'm in already 🙏 need some more though!

I'm working on updating the unicycle tricktionary with the NBDs from Scotty's Too Close to See video (and some other stuff) and I have some questions for you guys.

in Scotty's video, he landed a sort of fifth middle flip that was 180-overflip-360. But I've seen Lorenz Poham and Dan Colvin landed a sort of "fifth middle flip" that is 360-overflip-180. Because these could two different tricks could both be called fifth middle flip, how should we differentiate between the two?

second question: what are we calling Scotty's cross hick side under flip? The Scotty Flip?

third question: what do we call Levi's trick that isn't a popcorn flip?? It's a 0.5 one footed rev forward followed by a 1.5 back flip. In his Response/Callout Video he also landed a "double" flip version of it (0.5 one footed rev - 2.5 back flip)

Regarding your first question: I don’t know if we’ll ever get around to find a naming convention for over/underflips that provides insight to the location of the flip in the spins, or if it’ll always have to be said the long way. As your example highlights, we’d need something that can stand to the test of time, for example when people start landing overs/unders with 7spin variations, where the flip can be trapped at 0, 180, 360, 540 or 720 degrees. Maybe even taking into account more than one over/underflip, and in any direction. That was probably one of Ivar’s motivations in his suggested rolls naming convention (which, though I see the pertinence, I personally find too clinical).

Simply put: I don’t really have a suggestion :D

Regarding your second question: I usually lean towards more descriptive names, for similar reasons to my previous answer. It has greater chances of still making sense in a few years. Though I’m not against a few exceptions for very novel tricks (like Brillwhips) or when it just sounds good (like popcorn flips). Descriptive names have the risk of being long or even confusing.

Regarding your third question: has Levi suggested something? Historically, unless it made absolutely no sense (I would say like ‘Adrienwhip’ which didn’t really catch on, as opposed to Maxwhip which is sufficiently generic but still catchy), the person to land a trick has dibs on the naming… his insight would also be useful to know if what your describe is actually the ideal version of the trick he wanted to land (similarly to how most people do halfrevs to 1.5flips but we still call those revflips, because it’s close enough to the technique of the trick Pele had in mind). In Levi’s case, is the one-footed part on purpose? The 0.5?

Again, no conclusion, just my 2 cents :)

your description of Levis trick there made me think 'didnt erik...?' and i had to go back and check this trick he has at 0:24 here https://youtu.be/3dPm9IiGaKQ?feature=shared

it was the opposite direction from what you're talking about + he catches both pedal again to rev after the onefootie

but it had enough resemblance at least for me to go back a decade looking for it. so i would suggest some kind of family name if possible? rewinds or cancels idk... or simply onefooter-...

agreed with hugo. lander of the nbd can hopefully make a name :D Whoever can do that trick , or do similar tricks to understand it and have reason to use the name, will prob be the ones to establish the lingo. so at that point of time when its just NBDd it will prob be up to the NBDer to name unless the trick is simply too obviously named by the crowd already or too absurd or irelevant to even get a clear name 🤔

which one is the popcorn flip?

'adriwhip' stuck with me meaning the one backward with the unispin 🤷maxwhip i couldnt say for sure which one that is 🤔 max peabody with tire grab? Brillwhip is still printed on my retina for sure. things are different when it comes to whips 😄

ohh now i continue this video and erik did do a flip version. back to forward. is that what you call popcorn?

Maxwhip is how Max Schulze initially labelled his seat in backward whip. And luckily enough, Max Peabody landed a variation of it, which is really a nice coincidence.

Here again, whips are still kind of novelties, but who knows what sort of variations people will be landing in 10-15 years. Should we take into account flips in whips? Like, from what I understand, it’s actually harder not to flip the cranks. A backflip forward whip would then be extra hard and extra nice! If we had a way to include that in the naming, that’d be great. Same with spins, I already didn’t know how to call the ‘Adriwhip’…

Yeah Ivar, the trick Erik does around 1:36 is basically the reverse of what Levi did. What Erik did (and I think I saw that Christian Hurawai also did it) is 0.5 one footer backward, 1.5 flip forward

We thought it was a popcorn flip, but then we found an Eli video called reverse popcorn flip that was basically a fakie reverse rev flip (half rev back, 1.5 rev forward)

So the difference is that it’s a half rev instead of half one footer, and the rev is going same direction as flip instead of switching directions

Hugo, i think i've heard people say uniwhip's with flip and seatwhip is with static cranks :) I'm in on that! was so excited to see the one with doubleflip that a certain boi i forgot the name of was getting so close to. Cranks flipping opposite direction as seat sounds massive and potentially gorgeous 😍 one of my fav scooter tricks to see is when the deck and the bars take opposite direction

yeah, I agree that naming makes most sense

A uniwhip with a doubleflip would be so crazy. I think it was Michael Bachleda who was getting real close on that.

As far as that trick I do, it's not my NBD Christian Hurawai did it first. Anyway I'll just throw out some ideas to see what you guys think. Flip flopflip? Or B-bop flip?( b-bops is a local food place around where I live) I'm definitely open to other suggestions if you have any.

Ooh I like both those names!

the question is… which one would be the “forward” version of the flip and which would be the “back flip” version? Because the one you do, Levi, goes forward then back, right? But the other (that Erik did in that video Ivar shared) goes back and then forward. For example, which would be the b-bop flip and which would be the b-bop backflip? Or which would be the flip flop and which would be the flop flip? 😂

I suppose just looking at the flip part and ignoring the one foot half rev part would make it simpler, in which case the one with the actual flip going backward would be the backflip version?

I've jumped in the game late Trey. Some basic stuff from 5 minutes spent in the garage just now!

Hopefully 2 of them you haven't done before 🫣

The static one foot hick flip from crank stuff is sick Trey! 👌

thanks Sam!

funny names! my vote is on flip flop, its funny that it already has 'flip' in it, +b-bop is a skateboard trick with little resemblance :)

yeah makes sense, just looked up skateboard bebop flip – looks like uni equivalent would be 180 handflip?

so flip flop and flip flop back? or back flip flop?

Or flop flip hahah

Edmund and I used to say ‘180 revflop’ or whatever whenever we failed at a flip trick (is ’flop’ a thing in English to say when something fails? It is in French at least!)

I think I’d go with back flip flop personally

Yeah Hugo, a flop is a failure in English too 👍 this naming sounds great haha

haha i love to say flop too, sometimes even to a make, just to jokingly disrespect the flip trick

the idea of flop flip for the reverse version is super fun but im afraid confusing 😌 with me and hugo going around calling all sorts of flips 'flops'

i really suck at all the naming stuff (and at all that kind of tricks, to be fair), but i really needed to log in just to say i absolutely love the names "flip flop" and "flop flip"!

I'm out of the game for probably 2 weeks, down the beach at a caravan park, without the une this time as Alex no longer lives here and too many bikes with 3 kids now 😕

i forget that you have summer now!? thats so trippy

enjoy the family vacation <3

I’m confused why my set didn’t show up in the game this week

I’m pretty sure I submitted it on Sunday around noon

what is it then? :)

One handed side jump, ride one rev forward, one rev backward, fakie one handed side jump

Oh well

ill join next week

pretty good matching to the onehanded antiside 😌 love how often themes seem to appear across different peoples sets :D Even with this few players

Trey, come to Mondo in minnesota. End of February

Thanks Mike! I would absolutely love to, but I doubt I can 😔 I'm in college in Kentucky and I don't have a car.

I'll let you know if it ends up working out, though

who all will be there?

i heard louis is trying to swing by :)

me jack dale kyle lars scott rachel dani sean minter, louis? Ohio mfs & others i’m probably forgetting

looks like i'll be able to come! Can't wait to ride with you guys!

hey whats up!?

just logged in to find a single message within the timespan thats on save. so plz send some updates y'all

Hey all, update my end - been flat out with work, kids and other activities, (I play netball and beach volleyball, kids do swimming, AFL, little athletics, dancing...) I have found time for the occasional flatland session and one ride at a skatepark with Luke Collalto a few weeks back. There is a couple of little clips/videos on my Instagram and YT - Sam Thomas Unicycle for both. I'm also (Very) slowly working on a new street edit...maybe a 2026 release if I'm lucky 🙈 I'll try and get in a game again soon.

Hey everybody update from me. My health currently is very difficult to describe. Basically havent been feeling well since 2-3 months. Our working theory is post covid but nothing is sure yet. So basically no sports at the moment and for the forseeable future for me :/ See you at EUC though everyone

Dang Jan, that's so rough 😕 hope you improve soon!

all the best for your recovery jan 🙌 ☀️

Hola gente,

Riding is wonderful. Where in Austria is the UNICON 2026 planned for?

Also, Jan, hope to catch your media reels soon.

Hope recovery is speedy.

FYI i'm sending three sets for the upcoming game

riding outdoors again was so much fun 💜

Saludos a todos

Hola Saludos desde Chile 💯

Que buenaa, aquí desde Virginia, EEUU

Hay juego que había comenzado...es de motivar a personas para practicar antes de las 12pm el monociclo

Quick question. How do you not lose balance when practicing new rolls? I feel like whenever im trying like outside rolls or just crank idles im falling off my une like instantly. Is there some sort of secret to keeping the balance or is it just repetitions?

keep the uni right under you!!

lots of repetition 😌 as with anything. but not just repetition, its a good thing if you can actively find the way, and variating the attempts and the way of failing will help the way there

parts of the geometry in rolls that you need to work out apply across the various different sides or directions of them so keep trying different ones and try and 'translate' the shape in between them if you say you have some but struggle with some new ones

its hard to give general advice without seeing where you fall off, but i feel a lot of people miss the tilt of the uni and the turn that the uni makes through the roll, these parts help a lot with balance and control once theyre in place

Que comida recomiendan cuando están entrenando?

Hey Jussi, with a lot of roll the uni should do a curve movment and not follow a straight line beneath you. Letting your uni make this movement can help finding the optimal balance.

Also with most rolls you need to hold your saddle to the side a lot more than you think and not upright

Aah i hadnt even really thought about that before. Thank you both for the pointers. Gonna try them later this week!

time to sign up for the next game ;)

sorry i missed this game, i was traveling :(

i will join next week's for sure

Incredible feature of the SKRRRT app that i just found out : most apps can only turn 90° in each direction to switch between portrait and landscape format, but this one can go fully upside down, which is completely useless but also hella cool. Mr Thomas, you get a medal of awesomeness from the FAD (French Awesomeness Department).

thats so dope :p im starting to use my phone upside down in skrrrt right now just because :D

yeah same xD

trey have a look what I wrote about the combo that you posted. Loved the chat you had with Ivar about it :D

Yeah, I love the discussion and that I can nerd out with others about this lol 🤓

Also, sorry Ivar, I didn’t find time to respond to your sets last week, but I still want to do them so I will post those when I can

Ivar, just so you know, I will be posting 3 sets for next week :)

sweeet

got some minusdegrees here 😌 goodthing this week's an easy game, i pray for warmer again til next week if your sets require a longer sesh

Yo could someone give me tips to how to catch my crankflip for doing them in street, i've tried a lot but i don't have the tempo to bring my unicycle up to my feet after having snap m'y flip.

Sorry if my English is hard to understand.

Have a nice weekend

i can barely catch myself but judging from your doubleflip id say you have the power, its probably maybe the mental block? thats how i feel my situation is, i kind of automaticaly adjust the flipping speed to the height i take and what flip i'll do

so its hard to flip "too fast" or jump "too high" just to commit to the catch. what ive heard some people say which makes sense is if you do them up ledge and then take that same execution back to flat or even down the ledge it should give you a catch as you'd catch on that 'invisible ledge' 🤔🤔

maybe something to play with? you could also throw in a couple of caught nofooters (0flips) to try get the feel for it

I would agree with Ivar. if you can doubleflip you should have enough hight and flip speed to catch. A flip catch should feel really similar to a doubleflip only with the catch in the middle. Hope this helpfs :D

So i will try to snap faster and higher but like you say it Ivar it's also a mental problem, and thanks for the all the tips

I agree 100% with Ivar. There are different ways to catch, depending on the style you prefer, either more agressive where you slam the uni back under you, lifting it up, or more ´flowy’ where you just place your back foot in the way of the back pedal when it comes back around. What really helped me learn to catch flips was to first learn to catch no footers, and that was the more agressive way initially. So you jump, do the no footer, and when you are at the peak of the jump, you pull the uni up and slam both feet on the pedals, then land. What’s nice with no footers is that it doesn’t matter if you land on the cranks. Then when you’re consistent with catching no footers you can apply the same principle with flips. As you can already doubleflip, you shouldn’t have any problem going quite slowly at first while still being able to do the full flip. It should be easier first to learn to catch going not too fast, in case you land on the cranks. I would say the ideal height is something around a curb, so 10-15cm, but that probably depends for everyone.

great input! with this more detailed description from you im motivated to try get some better ones too asap 🙂

Okay with all these tips i have no excuses for having a bad catched-crankflip so i will try with all the tips to have a super nice and smooth catched-crankflip 😁

i love catching no footers, so i need to learn to catch my flips too now ^^

I may join in the next game, if anyone else was thinking about it also?!

I joined!

I joined also

im in again 🙌 game is growing 🌱

I've been slacking on the unicycle front... Had my first session for 2 months yesterday. I've chucked some lines cut out of my Instagram reel in the game 🙏

you guys are hyping me up, just joined the game for the first time, landed new stuff, so much fun!

feedback/idea:

after submitting to a set, could there be a button saying 'upload more sets' taking you back to the game page

what i do now is hit "menu, game" so two clics

but many times ive tried to hit return button on my phone wich is a confusing detour as i get back to submitting screen on the same set where its warning ⚠️ me that ive already uploaded this one

so i think a special return button would be a nice shortcut. maybe it could even say 'well done landing the trick! 🙌 submit to more sets?'

14 points Ivar you're crazy :D

wish i could get the last four until scotts tricks but doesnt look like it this week 🥲 full pot is a whole 20 this week! anybody wanna steal the win?

Hey Colby, my last set finished loading at 8:00, so it’s currently waiting in next week’s roster. Any chance you could change it to this week’s? :)

Jakob and I had a great time playing around with your sets, thanks guys!!

i think i do a break from the game next week :) Keep it going! send some subs haha

off work today

had to send some subs cause noone else is doing it??

Sorry, really wanted to, but got busy this week :( Seasons are also acting weird here, one day it snowed and the next it was 20´C… 🤷‍♂️

yeah same, maybe next week!

I wasn’t able to join the last few games because I had final exams, but now I’m done, so I will join next week’s game!

I've chucked a few submissions in and will add some sets for next week 👀

Good work keeping the games flowing team!

Good to have you with us Sam!

Me and my friend are working on a new uni video project. Kinda buzy, so I quit the competition this week. Will see if I can film a set or two for next week.

Awesome! Can't wait to see the project Jun!

How does a callout work in the urban unicycling world? What are the rules/etiquette for doing a callout?

when i was really fresh into this about a decade ago there was a bunch of trick nominations going around. seemed to be all about posting a couple of tricks and nominate someone else to continue the chain and do the same. now callouts ive only seen a few, can only say jack n michael at the top of my head, and its been more major edits, or maybe its just those riders having a more major level than anyone before (?)

now after jean asked about this in the post section trey took the step and actually called out clement. so we’re waiting eagerly for the response right and we can see realtime how he takes it if its just a respond or he’s gonna pass it on? What trey did looked more like a onesess-edit even though its still more brutal than whatever clips i could gather in a year. Just the way him and clement as well seem to be sessing 🤷

Almost 20 years ago now, I had my first encounter with the concept of a callout video. Shaun Johanneson was calling out Dan Heaton (in his usual, slightly cocky way :P). In my mind, it implied the person being called out, the callee, had been out of the game for a little while, and the person calling him/her out, the caller, is hoping to bring the callee out of retirement, at least for a video response. Dan never responded unfortunately.

Shaun’s video, as I remember it, was filmed over a couple sessions I would say, so quite good, but nothing ground breaking per his own standards (to be fair, he was actually landing NBDs in every video that came out). I think I remember he was sort of mimicking Dan’s style with some of his tricks…

Then Pele Schramm called out Chris Pere Huriwai (I think?). And Pere called out Adrien: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MU3tX1VPpug

Such good times in those videos Hugo. I miss the call out and banter in general from back then. Shaun stirred things up a lot but it made people ride harder and film more so it was great.

We really need some street call out videos to kick the scene back into gear...

working on it, but it may take awhile ^^

Great explanations Hugo and Ivar! And I agree, Sam, it’d be great to see a chain of street callouts start up again

what about trick nominations? are they like callouts? you just do a few tricks then pass it on to the next person?

Sounds about right Trey. I never really saw all that many. I feel like I was involved in one at some point but can't really remember!

Is anyone getting on the Une all June wagon?

Ok good to know Sam! (I may or may not be interested in starting that up again 😉)

What is Une all June?

if anybody's interested in une every week just send it to the game

thats a challenge to ride daily the whole month trey

Yeah, I saw a few people do it last year. Getting a clip or two on the Une for all of June.

oh okay, nice! i will definitely try that!

I'm having a crack, might struggle for every day, but will try my hardest! Can catch it on my insta (Sam Thomas unicycle) or my YouTube: https://youtube.com/@doamono (also Sam Thomas unicycle)

I'll chuck a few of my clips in the game at some point for next week!

Day 3 filmed and going up in a few hours!

7 days in to Une all June for anyone interested in following along on my insta or Youtube 🙈 https://youtube.com/shorts/S0QfK7YUZng

Yes! Loving all the videos. Such a cool idea!

Does anyone have tips for learning treyflips? Everytime i practice them my une travels really far and i have no chance of landing them. How can i get it to stay under me?

keep the uni right under you!!

post clip of some attempts for a better chance of relevant advice
