[localSickened]

are you a professional clown?

[ttt8699]

@localSickened No. But you are obviously an rank amateur joke writer.

[rexolito]

whats the name of the song?



[Varaxis]

LOL. I liked watching you riding that thing downhill. Next sport is DH mountain unicycle racing! No freewheeling allowed!

[BruinBrass]

Great demo of your 29er unicycle, thanks! This trail looks a lot like Sullivan Canyon in the Santa Monica Mtns. Where did you film this ride?

[ttt8699]

@BruinBrass Yep, you're right it was Sullivan!

[DaneUni]

I can't wait to get my 29 built! This was awesome

[gasmonkey1234]

Well sir it appears that you broke your ass and balls on the vertical drop. This is not my idea of sport.

[DaneUni]

@gasmonkey1234 "Appears".... He didn't even make weight contact with the seat, watch the slow motion, it's all in the legs. Plus he's wearing bike shorts. You don't land on your testicles, just like your don't land on your testicles on a bike. Mountain unicycle seats are incredibly padded anyways. What is your idea of sport? Checkers? Mountain unicycling would be too difficult for you anyways, stay inside. It appears you broke your brain and common sense when you picked up the keyboard.

Okay, yeah i'm now set on getting a 29er! Nice drops! Should I get the standard 125/150 Double Hole Crank option? Is that the one that you have? You said one of the cranks allowed you to adjust the crank length by moving the pedal from one hole to the other (that's awesome!). Also, did you get the standard hub option or the titanium one with the carbon center? Does the titanium/carbon one make a difference? Thanks for the help.

Way to haul fast on that 29'er there Terry.

Good to see you as always.....

[ttt8699]

@shugemery Glad you're back man! (This and my latest 29er stair jump are also on the vid forums.) Cheers!

[lizzieswe]

Haha, I love the drop at 1:02! I'm not even sure if I dare to do it on 20" :P

[ttt8699]

@lizzieswe I had to stand there a while before I went for it! It always seems so much higher when you are up there, on you uni, looking down! But i made sure i had a good sloped landing, and not to flat. It took the drop surprisingly smooth.

[insanityback]

you just left the camera there.

[ttt8699]

@insanityback Haha, but it's ok. If somebody would have stolen it, I would know who since it was recording at the time! ....wait...:)

[nhoover]

Nice Terry!! UCC rules.

[ttt8699]

@nhoover Thanks Nathan! I'm still workin' on the no-footer coasting!

[gabrielfamilathe]

looks so fun! probaly great for muni since its a cross between the 24 and 36. great video!

[ttt8699]

@gabrielfamilathe Thanks man! Yeah it's way faster than my 24, and can still handle technical stuff.

[unicycle6869]

I just switched from my 26" KH to my 29" KH and seem to like it more, it's faster and actually about the same or even easier for technical cross county. For technical downhill, a 26" or 24" is still the way to go but for cross country a 29" is perfect! I'm using 150mm cranks as I think the 125mm's are too short unless it's a very flat trail. Happy Riding!

[ttt8699]

@unicycle6869 Hey Jamey! I used the 150's for climbing and the drops, but the switched to the 125's for the dh on the way back and it's awesome! Just amazing how much more speed you get with the 125's, and it's still very maneuverable. I'm taking it out for a technical rockfest tomorrow!
