100 miles on a Unicycle! My first Uni-Century!

[LTLvideosProductions]

Nice video! You are a good unicyclist.... Just stop giving the peace sign in every shot, But good job

[1866drmills]

Hey man, I dug the video. I am a long distance rider as well. I have never done a century ride though. Perhaps if you are ever in San Diego or if I am ever where you are, we could ride together.

[madogblue]

Do you attribute anything specifically to the broken spokes?  KH is a very high quality Uni and I was surprized to see broken spokes.

[ttt8699]

@madogblue They weren't KH spokes! Yeah, UDC had built the wheel (Unbeknown to me!) using after market not-so-stainless silver spokes. When I told Kris about the breakage issue, and that for some reason I was shipped a new 36er with those crap spokes, he shipped me a new set of HIS correct spokes. Since rebuilding with them, it's been perfect!

[madogblue]

How do you deal with the different gearing requirements? Did you have only one speed and one set of cranks?  CONGRATS!

[ttt8699]

@madogblue Yeah, one speed 1:1. The cranks are dual hole so I can make them 110 or 125 by simply switching the pedal position.

[madogblue]

@madogblue What crank length do you use for Muni on your 36"? thanks~!

[enrique7147851]

damn dude, first i bought a ventriloquist doll and now im going to buy a unicycle :-{)

[ttt8699]

@enrique7147851 Haha, that's great! I love it!

[enrique7147851]

@ttt8699 what kind do you have and how much did it cost cuz yours looks nice and im scared to buy a lame one

[ttt8699]

@enrique7147851 It's a Kris Holm 36er. They start at around $850

[enrique7147851]

[tiukanas]

u cool man .

[ttt8699]

@lgdude5 Thanks!

[taritracy]

loved the video!

[ttt8699]

@taritracy thanks!

[AdamMoto]

Nice footage, I knew you could do it! In your unicycles did you purchase the standard isis hub or did you pay the extra $285 for the titanium/carbon one. I'm trying to figure out if i should spend the extra money or not because if its not going to make much of a difference or isn't necessary, I'd rather save $285. What do you think?

[ttt8699]

@AdamMoto Thanks and hello Adam. I have a standard kh isis hub, and actually prefer it over the current titanium version, which still has those "kh" cout outs in the flanges, which I feel weaken the flanges and make them more prone to failure. Save the $285 and get either the kh or nimbus isis hub.

[thecrazyjoe]

Dang, I wish I would have known your route beforehand. It looks like you passed right by where I work while I was working there. It's an asphalt plant on lincoln that is literally right next to the Santa Ana river trail and there's only a chain link fence seperating our parking lot from the bike path.

[ttt8699]

@thecrazyjoe I went about 20 miles in on SART from the start at PCH. I also found out that it's waaaay longer than I ever knew, and that if I'd known, I could've done the entire century on it, but probably out & back. But I like my route for more variety. As soon as I get a new set of *better* spokes, I'm doing another uni-cent!

[Irondog333]

Wow that was truly amazing, and not 2 tired. Very good.

[ttt8699]

@Irondog333 Thanksd Hunter! I liked your video too, you have excellent skills! I also had a bail over a bench similar to yours, lol.

[LATINOFUCKA]

Oh ok thats good.

[Aradern]

That is absolutely amazing! What is the setup you are riding?

[ttt8699]

@Aradern Hi thanks. I was riding my KH ungeared 36er with 110mm cranks and touring handle. No brake. Nightrider tire. Pretty basic, but was all I needed. :)

[LATINOFUCKA]

Wow i was just thinking, Does that seat do work on your gens? Honestly...

[ttt8699]

@LATINOFUCKA I was actually pretty comfortable for the ride. Good saddle really helps!

[MrHealthQuest]

Watching you makes me feel life isnt over at middle age.

[ttt8699]

@MrHealthQuest Haha hell no it isn't! life BEGINS at 50! (If that's true then I'm only 4 1/2 years old now haha!)

[shugemery]

Whooooo Buddy .... you are strong and nutty,

Ye' of the tingly crotch ... the unist I love to watch,

Be proud and take a soak ...riding 104 ain't no joke bloke!!!!!

You are really something Terry......

Kudos from Shug

[ttt8699]

@shugemery Thanks for that Sean! That made my day...and I only just woke up!

[skatedonthate88]

i had no idea you were bringing your camera! that would be wayyyyy harder to be talking while filming yourself while riding 104 miles! :D

[ttt8699]

@skatedonthate88 haha yeah, I had to slow down when filming while riding, but at least I didn't have to stop and set up, so it saved time that way!

[jackerx5]

awesome just awesome

[ttt8699]

@jackerx5 Thanks Jack!

[msilva1009]

Terry, congratulations from Lisbon, Portugal!

I´m your fan since a long time ago (more than 2 years) .

I hope that you recover from this very fast. It was the first time that I saw you a little bit tired! I did 65 miles on my 36" and from my 48 years I know what that mean.

You are incredible and a source of inspiration for people like me.

Thanks a lot for sharing!

Mario Silva

[ttt8699]

@msilva1009 Thanks Mario! Great job on doing 65! That's way farther than most people have ever ridden, even on a TWO wheels!

[dustied]

Congratulations!!!!!! smart job starting early

[ttt8699]

@dustied Thanks. Yeah I wanted to have plenty of time and daylight, in case of unforeseen problems. Luckily, I finished with still 4 hours of daylight left!

[uniaddict]

next the CROSS COUNTRY RIDE! lol

[ttt8699]

@uniaddict Yeah, and on a giraffe! =)

[sneakybeaver13V2]

GREAT VIDEO!

[ttt8699]

@sneakybeaver13V2 Thanks!

[sneakybeaver13V2]

@ttt8699 I wouldn't be surprised if you did a couple hundred mile ride.

[ttt8699]

@sneakybeaver13V2 Haha, I sure would! I might do the STP, Seattle to Portland, but it would take a good 2 days to complete. Would be quite a thrilling adventure I'm sure!

[sneakybeaver13V2]

@ttt8699 lolz

[gabrielfamilathe]

yeahh I actually am, I have been riding some small parks and suff, but need to get a good six mile muni lol

[ttt8699]

@gabrielfamilathe Let's do Sullivan then! I still can't believe you have not yet done that trail with me! It's soooo fun!

[gabrielfamilathe]

@ttt8699 ok. maybe somethime this week!

[dregerclock]

Great Ride Terry!

[ttt8699]

@dregerclock  Thanks much!

[gabrielfamilathe]

i am amazed on how you continue to push the boundries of what people can do on a unicycle, terry-man or machine? I think a little of both! awsome video!

[ttt8699]

@gabrielfamilathe Thanks Gabriel! Are you still riding? we should do a MUni ride soon!
