+++

i've played with wings before


havent told th boys yet


on th back of th unicycle


over thirty knots they

start to make sense

+++


i've found my fabricator

+++

if i can prove th concept he can


build it

+++

dont apologise for it lookin homebuilt man

it rides better


than a hardtail and

it;s barely half setup

+++

fuck man

in th dark

pissed stoend and

stuffin it up th draina nd


th fucker gets traction

th 26 spins


in that drain

this thing


gets bite

we''ll have fun


workin it all out

+++


we pared so much weight off

and


cut th swingarm back so far

she stuck in sport mode


+++

th thre eof us

looked at


alternate mounting points

how many we'd


build in

for testing purposes and


for others to play with

+++

wot do we want adjustable ?

well i wanted to
play with suspension unicycles


landed clean and
barefoot anyway

just ran it down in th dewey grass

+++

i've got

pedal dents

underfoot

+++

they'll squeel at me
if i dont wear shoes

playin unicycle hockey

wetsocks ?

+++

probly not


maybe an old pair

i'll end up throwin em

i like barefoot


ridin by th

soles of my feet and toes

solid with th wheel and


this bit aint


goes up and down on


suspension


so weird

i'm toegrippin th pedals


tryint to stop liftoff and

not always succeeding

+++
1200 techniques

+++


broadsliding th wheel is
much more controlled now

th spring isnt givin us quite th kick it was
gunna take some time in th service station

playin with tyre pressures to find
where it;s a little more predictable

i pulled two 180's
i didnt ask for

+++


more feel will come with

more miles

but already
she's climbin th traffic islands


at a steeper to 90 degree angle

than any of her predecessors


at speed

+++

but if ya fuck it up
too fast or

too slow


bye bye

+++


th tiniest bump

can flick ya clear of th seat


just a whole different dimension

+++


it prefers to srtay under tension
swooping

but rides rock steady

two arms by th side

+++
B2k
'bump bump bump'
+++


hit th gravel

and didnt find a sideways point

i couldnt live with

+++


better with th sideways traction
doin swoops but

one inch rocks

just get flicked aside

dont feel like


nuthin at all

+++

i hit a few gibbers

that worked th shock under me

th deflection so remote

by th time i got it


th flywheel had taken most of it

+++

tripper man

we might have to

think on handle bars man

i'm havin some wee troubles with

stayin onboard

if this thing is goin in th bmx track


i want bars if i'm goin in th air

"like clip ons"


kinda

we talked on it
if we we keep th width down
and


it's been done

+++


th size of th fuckin disk they wanna put on it

i dunno man

+++

can i put lots of bubbles in th system

to make it spongy

for th first few flights


well maybe then

+++


rim brakes was bad enough

jenny three


u've had three test flights and

not one hairy crash


a couple that were interesting but


we landed in th front yard without damage


+++

do i feel confident to jump on ya
with a hockey stick

and chase a puck across th quadrangle
oh yeah

+++

i'll take a hardtail unicycle

for a spare


and in case anyone complains

th monoshock has too much advantage


it has it's disadvantages too

+++


i cant believe a pebble that small

threw me that far

like th spring unwound off th flywheel

+++

some really weird effects

felt thru th

flexible frame

+++

+++

th worst of th flightesting is over


those first couple of rides where ya


throw it over yr favourite course


+++

feeling for

where it's all gunna break loose

+++

well not over that traffic island

+++

gotta come in confident though


muff th approach and


yr a launch vehicle


+++

it's all fcukin good
