    Thanks everyone for such positive feedback :) It’s always nice to hear. I’m gonna try make a just trials bike video sometime over the next few months but at the moment, I’m pretty sure you don’t want to watch me barely jumping up and down curbs :P

    P.S. You're going to ruin those lovely shoes with all that scuffing!!!!!

    Don’t worry Neil, they are old shoes, my nice new ones won’t be going near the bike / uni !

    (Y) cool i just got a unicycle today and am trying to ride it just a tad harder than 2 wheels

    Hmmm might have to disagree there. I guess it’s harder to learn to ride it but, as far as trials goes, a unicycle is about as hard to jump on as a pogo stick.

    Got to meet up sometime for a ride, give us a shout.

    Defo at some point, Rich. Let me know when you’re free.

    Do you happen to know a marcus collings, says he rides Bristol or Bath a bit??

    Yeah, I know Marcus. He’s really good on his uni and a pretty sound guy too (Y) Do you ride with him at all?

    how old are you? and when did you started riding?

    17. Started riding 3 years ago.

    Nice vid :) unicycle looks fun, reckon riding it has helped much with biketrials?

    I wouldn’t really be able to say if it’s helped as I don’t know how fast/slow I would be learning bike trials if I didn’t unicycle. It doesn’t feel like it’s helped much though, but that may just be cos I take ages to learn things.

    The last bit, were you scuffing your foot on the wheel to keep yourself upright?

    It's mainly just to control the speed. When the foot is scuffing on the tyre, it's called "gliding" and when nothing touches the tyre it's called "coasting". Gliding is easier than coasting, though I can do both. A couple of years ago, I had a pretty funny (read: painful) fall when coasting. Linkage.

    Hey guys

    Had the day off work yesterday and the weather was lush so thought I'd spend the day riding. It's mostly unicycling, but there are a few bike trials clips in there. I had an operation a while back on my ankle so this can be my "back into riding" vid. Nothing mindblowing, but I'm hoping you'll enjoy it.

    Edit: Should probably add I've had my bike just over 3 months now. Been riding unicycles for over 3 years.

    get some pics up of yourself riding soon (Y) try and get along to some group rides to!

    really good for the sport in my opinion

    Will get some pics up when I can do some stuff. Today was my first day out on it really so as you can imagine, I suck but I'll get there eventually. I plan to go to as many group rides as I can. Was thinking of heading out to Plymouth this Sunday with Alex and friends, but not decided yet.

    What bike did you get?

    You're a full member now so you can post elsewhere too (Unless you have been already and I didn't notice lol)

    t-pro. Yeah, I don't know too much to be able to say much elsewhere, but I've posted a few times. I just posted this here as it was relevant.

    Or if you mean you can't get to the page with the poster on it on the Koxx Website, then either can I. I saw this poster on a different forum so posted it up.

    Sounds like a plan to me Jamie. Add me on msn or send me a PM and I'll send you my number and we can go for a ride.

    Will keep an eye out for a cheap deal or something, I get paid on the 31st. Did a fair bit of overtime, but still only a Saturday kid so pay won't be too massive (as in, still less than £300 but beats the £90 I got paid this month...).

    I can make it on the Sunday. I kind of just cancelled my Germany trip so I've that weekend free. I could probably do the Saturday if noone is up for the Sunday, as long as work don't find out I didn't actually leave the country ! Not that I actually have a bike.. but might bring half along. That's if this is still happening of course.
