Sponge Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Thanks for the email JT....Your so harsh to me , you love his riding, yet a congrats to me is really a thing of myth! Right, I'll have to get some proper footage of myself for just you JT. He's OK i guess... I suppose a typical bike rider might like it, but i can see some areas which need some tweaking! I'm not trying to criticize him, just...Some tips for you Calum:need improvement on the dropping technique which should be jumped forwards and pedalled out of smoothly, dropping sideways with a THUMP is a no no, unicycles arent like a trials bike when it comes to dropping, pedalling out forward is a must! Don't do so many correction hops like a pogostick, it actually makes lines harder! Otherwise, gaps are nice, mine are just a tad bigger on my uni. (shit I think my bike gappings smaller than uni now! ) And those skinny walls riding is pretty nice too. Rightyho, video time for me...

JT! Posted August 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 I've heard much about you Mr. JT You and Sponge seem to have some sort of love-hate lovelife going on . Yeah, he loves me and i hate him. Especially with comments like this...Otherwise, gaps are nice, mine are just a tad bigger on my uni. I didn't send you the link to the vid so you could analyse and state that you were better, i sent it because you ride uni trials too.Anyway, i've never once said sponges riding was not impressive and if i remember correctly i did make one good comment when i saw a bit of footage of him riding?

Sponge Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 You make me crack up Jonathan, I don't see how that video of me before even caught your attention... you must either think that uni trials has tiny capabilities, or that I was even worse than in the video.Calum's got good balance on the skinny walls, that I respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted August 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Huh, Spongebob's better than i thought he was. Dug that out from that vid that TrashZen posted up. I was genuinely impressed. You know i really did want to see Joe ride at Scarborough, as it's only 20 mins away from me. But someone chose not to tell me the date and venue of where he was riding. It's really kinda worrying me that your starting to become a 'well know uni trials rider' on the forum now, your doing nothing good for uni trials with this kind of attitude.I have ridden a unicycle, and i use the term 'ridden' very loosely because all i did was sit on the thing holding onto a wall. I do have respect for anyone who can ride those things, not to mention to any kind of trials on them. But there's always exceptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted August 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 JT, I think he's like that to you saying comments like that to let you know that he can do better because I think he's under the impression that you think he's a total noobie at riding. He's a tad surprised that you were so much impressed with Calum (not saying he's terrible), but he doesn't like it when he's seriously underestimated and presumed to be outclassed by someone he knows he's better than. (a bit competitive I know, but we're all like that at times)But he's actually getting to become a pretty decent rider. (just needs more confidence on drops and high stuff !) And he needs to impress other people more, other than just to me by showing some pictures or a vid of himself on the forum for once! one more thing: he doesn't love you or like you JT, he's indifferent towards you. But you guys have a really funny history, reading some of the crap both of you come up with on MSN come down to London JT, but I still feel like a bit of Whitby later on maybe Jesus christ, all i said was he impressed me. Weather you took that as I was impressed by how good he was or how by i meant it, a guy who i've rode biketrials with for a while now turns up on a uni and can do bigger gaps than i can on my trials bike. That's what i mean by the fact that he impressed me.I have no level of understanding how good a uni trials rider is. I just filmed a few clips, enjoyed watching him ride, enjoyed making the vid. Then i get all this big headed shit "You think HE'S good, wait till you see ME ride".I'd much rather ride with Calum any day of the year because he hasn't got a attitude like sponge has, regardless to the capabilitys of either rider.I know your just tyring to stick up for you friend Joe, but you'd be typing the same text as me if you were in my shoes.

JT! Posted August 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 reading through his MSN message history.Maybe you should read the personal comment that he made towards me, that made me block him for the best part of 2 months. There's nothing i could have said to him that would have deserved such a reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 The rotten attitude's gotta be forced on when I'm speaking to you JT . But honestly though, I am only like that (ie arrogant, cocky, proud, dick) to you with my full intention because of the way we just have talked to eachother over the past 1and-a-half years. Like Mark says, don't judge someone until you meet them in person Quite a few people think Joe's cocky and arrogant, and I can see why, a bit on some posts he's made. But he's different in person, like f**k loads of people on the forum. I don't hold a real opinion on you JT, I'm still waiting to meet you in person on a ride before making a judgment on what you're actually like Judging by internet convos and stuff is so plain gaaayyy. You can't tell if their expression is bitter or not at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
