Mountain Unicycling: "Hard Rock"

[ttt8699]

(Continued)

I should mention though, that I routinely PASS even the most hardcore, experienced mtber on UPhill climbs! While they are in the lowest gears, I'm blowing right past them!

That's also what makes MUni (Mountain uni) so rewarding; it gets you in the best shape of your life! I'm almost 54, and hgave lost 25 pounds of fat, and my waist has dropped from 34 to a 29! It's my fountain of youth!

im having a hard time understanding why you even want to do this?

i think ill stick to my bike lol

[ttt8699]

Because it's the greatest workout, it's unique and FUN! I know several mtbers who have even converted to mountain unis and haven't gone back to 2 wheels.

It does take heightened levels of balance, stamina, strength and focus, and there are no gears to help you climb, and you can't take the easy way out and coast at any time, especially down hills.

It's the ultimate in fun, adventure and just plain awesome! But unless you experience it for yourself, you'll never know.

[m3rcuryd3ath]

part of the fun of mtbing is bombing sections and clearing gaps/doing bit hits, since none of these things are even remotely possible on a uni i dont see much fun in it.

going downhill seems like more of a puzzle than fun to me...not saying it doesnt take skill, seems pretty tough.

Amazing video. Just started out Unicycling and watch most of your videos. You are my inspiration for keeping it up. If you can do it. I can do it! Keep it up. Thanks alot. Cheers from Sweden.

Thanks and congrats on your riding!

Yet again a great vid....what tyre have you got on your Muni Terry? Old unicyclist from UK doing well... need a brake though lol

[ttt8699]

Thanks! That's an Intense 24x3 DH tire. They're no longer available though, and discontinued,

[Heathfloors]

Terry what tyre are you going to replace the DH with? I have a Gazza 3" but is going to need replacing pretty soon, was told that the Dura 3"(as fitted to new KH) is pretty nasty.. Whats you opinion on tyres..

all the best

Heath

[ttt8699]

Hi Heath. Well, I use an Intense 24x3, but unfortunately they are disconitnued. The Duro is actually pretty close in design, and has a good firm sidewall.

Rad. You're the man.

[ttt8699]

Haha thanks!

hey nice vid 5/5 i like the MUni vids better without the uni-cable cam because i think u get a better look at the terrain when the camera is stationary. also could u plz make a trials vid soon! :)

[ttt8699]

Yeah, the UCC really is mostly for just basic riding with nothing too technical. But I would like to set up the UCC for some MUni, and have it move SLOW to capture all the tech stuff.
