Al_Fel Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Well done woman you've got skills. Would be nice to see more 2 wheeled action though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Wicked stuff, Unicycles are so impressive!I can't even ride one on the flat let alone 180's off stairs and stuff!Cool vid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXtreme_one Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Cool vid Really enjoyed !you got skills and if you really like I'm sure you are gonna get really good because probably you do things now that you didn't think you could yet you mananged to do them and with that in mind think of what other things you'll be doing great if you keep traning. I'm really happy to see girls riding trials because in other sports there are lots but trials needs some more.Keep up the riding and evolve, push the limits and specialy have a lot of fun Take care !Seby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sheehan! Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 ahhhh!That was mad lol, really impressive uni skills. The last bit, were you scuffing your foot on the wheel to keep yourself upright? Still, majorly good balance there, and the trials biking is really good for 3 months worth! Well done P.S. You know you want to marry me instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 You make the unicycling look so easy! I had a go on my mates a while back.. couldn't stay on it. :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amanda Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 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.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 ! cool i just got a unicycle today and am trying to ride it just a tad harder than 2 wheelsHmmm 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. RichDefo 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 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.Amanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Don’t worry Neil, they are old shoes, my nice new ones won’t be going near the bike / uni !I was going to say... and girl who wears Nike court traditions has my heart.... but then i thought.... naaaa i sound like a freak Awsome riding! great to see more women.... *actually uses his brain* 1 more woman in the sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 That was pretty cool, nice combination of music and riding.The 360 spin and rail riding was quite impressive.Keep working on the two wheels and no doubt you will be as smooth and controlled as you are on the Unicycle.

Matt Burrows Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hey Amanda, I had no idea you were that good, I was impressed! Was an enjoyable vid to watch with a good mix of riding. I liked the 360, rail rides and flatland stuff, good to see you trying bike trials as well. Look forward to the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
