-Charlie- Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 That's exactly what people who don't know what they're talking about always say . Well done, you are amongst them. Have a go on one. Try riding it in a straight line comepetently. Ok... now try hopping it... harder than you thought wasn't it? Now, pull the seat out in front of you and start hopping... bet you can't keep 3 hops going without losing complete control. Try jumping 2 pallets.. harder than you thought eh...Yeah you might think that it's just parkour with one wheel under you.. and some idiots even say 'you might as well use a pogo stick'. There is more to a unicycle than just trials. On one trials unicycle, you can do street (ala skate/bmx style... yep GRINDS, crankflip variations, spins, tech), flatland, mountain, freestyle. On a trials bike, you can only really only do trials... So don't be so quick to assume. Try it and once you get good, then you can criticise it without looking like a complete mung-head. The funny thing is you seem to think it looks so stupid and easy. What'll happen is on a big London ride, you'll be outdone by a person on a unicycle, and you're on a fully kitted out bike... then you try and have a go on the unicycle and find you can't even ride or hop it without shitting your pants. Unicycle trials is still trials, and yes it was grown from biketrials, much like how biketrials grew from mototrials. We're all riding trials, hopping on a fat tyre. Respect eachother. Benito and Vincent respect it and enjoy watching it, and they're two of the best in this sport. There is a reason why they respect it.Okay.. I just dont like it...

Adam L Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 I just think its pointless. He's just jumping. Why dont he to parkour?Parkour isn't just jumping, thats why. Revise a little before you type.Unicycling takes plenty of skill and (possibly) more than biketrials. Fair play to the people who are good at it.Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magie man Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 uni trials is fairly difficult but as soon as i could ride 10m i was able to side hop up curbs and down.!!! so if any one wanted to try it go ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 uni trials looks intensely hard.... and to the bloke that said:On one trials unicycle, you can do street (ala skate/bmx style... yep GRINDS, crankflip variations, spins, tech), flatland, mountain, freestyle. On a trials bike, you can only really only do trials... ...thats ridiculous...you look at the older trials vidoes of people riding park or street on their trials bike!...i ride my pitbull at skate parks, dj trails and some xc riding..and my old woodstock i took to cwmcarn for a laugh!
