My jaw dropped seeing this! It's definetely one of my favourite videos of 2012. Sooo mind-blowing riding, creative stuffs, the frontflip ..and the uniwhip! Crazy as hell! Congrats!
Dude, you're a huge inspiration and simply amazing at unicycling! I love your videos! You're my favorite! I've been unicycling for around 4-5 months now and I love it so much! Right now I'm learning intermediate stuff like pedal grabs and unispins. I feel like I'll never be able to do crank flips or grinding or any of the ridiculous stuff you do, but you're just a huge encouragement and an inspiration to us all!
Nice Tim love your unicycle i am 12 years old and i very very love unicycle see you in couple of years at unicon ;). ( sorry i am from Montréal so my english IS bad) Very nice vidéo your so good!!!
En dan te bedenken dat ik nog altijd onder de indruk ben van de trucjes uit het tweede middelbaar ;) Wel leuk om zo die vertrouwde locaties te zien in je filmpkes (alhoewel er nu plots veel in Gent gebeurt waar ik niets ken :D)
I've been riding seriously for about 6years now ;) and practise a lot, have fun and try new stuf are the most important things ;) for jumping: learn jumping on stairs... you can make a lot of variation lines on stairs(like 1by 1, 2up-1down-3up,..) and it helps improve your control and makes your hops better ;)
1:20 I really don't understand how you that ! seriously you are insane and very inspirational, i just started trials and trying to catch up ! please make more videos
I have always wondered if unicycles can match with bicycles...now I think that unis can go further even though I am more of biker...thank you for the video :)
Tim, I just starting unicycling about a year ago and I love it! I have a trial and in the past week I learned how to bunnyhop sideways and jump off curbs, go off ledges, bunny hop back of the curb, and plain old bunnyhop. Do you have any tips? How do you build up to things like that? Any trick ideas I could learn? Help!! I really want to do stuff like that! You guys are AMAZING!!!! HELPP MEEEE!!!! Thank you!!
oh my god, man... i was watching Dan Heaton and thought he was good. but now, i see you. your insane. ive only been at it half a year. just got a real uni. torker unistar 18 in. ive been having fun with it. Im probably gonna start off with something more easy then this :P but ill get there.
the tire I'm current using is: monty eagle pro race, which is really an awesome tire! quite expensive, but super light and nice to ride ;) and 130mm (perfect size for street/trial riding)
Tim Desmet I couldn't find the eagle pro available so I got the older monty eagle claw, last one available. Seems like they're going out of production. You have a lot of experience, what's your impression of other trials tire in terms of bounce quality? Like the CC, old monty claw, Cyko Lite, Try All Lite? I'm very impressed in your rolling hops, have been practicing for 2 hours a day for months and your videos just makes me want to keep practicing.
in this vid I ride the monty eagle claw ;) really good tire! the pro race is just lighter I personnally don't really like CC, and haven't tried cyko lite yet... the try-all light is also a great tire! super light and perfect for street riding, but the monty is better for trial and flat imom because it's wider (= more bounce, more surface for rolls)
Tim Desmet How's the durability on the eagle claws since you also ride streets like I do? Just wondering how long they've lasted you so far, considering they're also out of production and getting one is a lot harder nowadays. I hope you try out the cyko lite one day soon and tell me what you personally think about it when doing your hops. Any interesting tips you can share to help those of us that are into rolling hops or unicycling in general? Thanks!
Hey I've been riding for like 3 or 4 years now, and I haven't been trying tricks really, just little like foot-tall hops, and I rode in a couple of parades this year while playing the trombone. I've been trying some more serious stunting and I want to upgrade my uni, because all I have is a torker CX20. What would you recommend, and what do you ride? I was looking at the Torker DX
One of the thing I dont say in the morning: It's a nice day out. Im going to grab my unicycle and jump off stuff! =D Though I am glad that someone does!
Hi, 360 unispin is quite hard to get consistent ;) it's nice you have already land some before... just try them for 5-10min every time you go ride, and you will get them again (and more consistent in time) and I live in Belgium (Europe) :p
Hi Tim, your videos are amazing.. one year ago i decided to start unicycling after i saw one of your flatland video! (thanks for that) Just a question.. Now i'm thinking to buy a new unicycle that is provided with 135 mad4one cranks, are these cranks too long for flatland stuff?
hi, I've been unicycling for 7 years but have only for the past few months started tricks and jumping, i can do basic small jumps, ride down stairs and i finally got the courage to jump down from a bench( wouhoo ;p) but i wondered if you could give me some tips on how to work up to the higher jumps? i tried but can't seem to get it right Thanks in advance :)
Hi Tim, just wondering if you had any tips for jumping high, so far i can jump 40cm but I really want to be able to jump like 60-70cm. i dont know how to improve? by the way great video
well first of all, you don't know where you will end up in unicycling... I remember I was like: wow, will I ever be able to hop 65cm? and now I hop 120cm and my overal skills have improved soo much :) the question if you should get a unicycle or not is yours, but I will tell you: it is an awesome sport, with lots of variation in riding, its unique, and best of all: the unicycle community is the best community ever! super friendly, fun people and competitons are super much fun (and party,..)
I love your video! I've shown all my friends here at college and this video has inspired 2 of my friends to start riding. I myself have been riding for about 5 years and My friends and I have a channel of our own if you're interested, LaGrangeUnicycleClub. Beastly whips, Bro! you're by far the best rider I've seen!
nice :) start practising on stairs! it helps a lot to improve your control, your hops,.. and you can do a lot of variations on it! like: 1) jump al stairs 1by1 2) again al stairs but with as less hops possible 3) just 2by2, or 2-1-2-... 4).. for tricks, you can do some basic stuf 1st, like leg-around, wheelwalk,.. but for spin/flip tricks, I would recomment to 1st learn how to hop 30-40cm :)
hi my name is zac saltalamacchia im 14 and i have been riding for 2 years and some day i hope i can be as good as you and i would like some tips on how to land 360 uni spins have landed 3 but i can never land them now thanks and ps do you live in Australia if so will i see you at uni nats
Hey I also unicycle and I'm restricted because I can't figure out how to jump high.(can't reach the rail to grind...ect) Can you give me some tips on how to accomplish that? ( i can only jump like a foot high its sad) And ur awesome too :)
1st of all: you have to practise a lot to jump high! ;) here are some training tips: find a nice stairset and practice on it: like jump everything 1by 1, then 2by 2, or 3up, 1down, 2up,... and try to limit your correction hops, this will improve your control and will get you better at hopping ;)
I love the way u do unicycle :D I have been trying some things myself and I didn't manage to jump really high. Do u have some way to play ur foot on ur pedals before jumping and does the tire needs to be less inflated? Please tell me I need help. (Great vid once again :D)
+Martin Jacquemyns 11 months late, hope you are still riding. Hops are about comfort and strength. You have seat in and seat out hops, they are good for different things. To get high, you will want to train your side hop (hopping horizontally to get vertical), rolling hop (riding into the hop), and riding/hopping seat in and seat out. The core of the hop comes from your physical strength and your skill in how you use your uni, but tire pressure is important. You need to use the compression of the tire to your advantage. This means lower your pressure if your tire is hard and isn't getting much "pop." I ride two different wheels, 19" and 20". My 19" is much fatter, lower pressure (I ride it around 30 or lower). It gets great compression, you just shift your body weight down before you hop and it sort of pushes you up. On my 20", though, which may be what you have, the pressure is much higher. It rolls better, but you can't get as much compression by shifting your weight down. Just play with your tire pressure, it's free to, and see what works best. You want it high enough to not fold when you hop/land/etc., but low enough to allow for a wide, grippy riding platform and good pop.
+Tim Desmet OMG, I couldnt afford to buy one. I really wish someday I could be like you. You really inspire me. It will takes a lot of practise and courage, especially passion, right. I dont think I could be like you because I am still afraid to fall. I just started riding unicycle for 3 months, and I can ride backward, wheelwalk, idle, idle with one foot for 3mins... I would like to do flatland or freestyle tricks and Im looking for a new unicycle under 250$. May I have your suggestion about which unicycle should I buy? I really appreciate your help. Thank you, Tim!! (from Vietnam)
These are some extreme unicycle clips! :O!! :D

Hello Tim. I was wondering what tire do you use for those great rolling hops and what crank size as well? Your video is very inspiring.

and 130mm (perfect size for street/trial riding)

in this vid I ride the monty eagle claw ;) really good tire! the pro race is just lighter
I personnally don't really like CC, and haven't tried cyko lite yet...
the try-all light is also a great tire! super light and perfect for street riding, but the monty is better for trial and flat imom because it's wider (= more bounce, more surface for rolls)

I hope you try out the cyko lite one day soon and tell me what you personally think about it when doing your hops. Any interesting tips you can share to help those of us that are into rolling hops or unicycling in general? Thanks!
+ 1-2years for street riding :) (for trial riding a lot less)
I love at 2:18 when he fell, he got back up and tried again. That kinda makes me a little proud of him
You are a legend!
Hey I've been riding for like 3 or 4 years now, and I haven't been trying tricks really, just little like foot-tall hops, and I rode in a couple of parades this year while playing the trombone.

Hey Tim, where did you get your unicycle, and does it matter what kind you get if you want to try do things like in the video?
One of the thing I dont say in the morning: It's a nice day out. Im going to grab my unicycle and jump off stuff! =D
Though I am glad that someone does!
nice :)
and practise a lot!! practising on stairs is really usefull to gain control and get better at the heights + is les scary than a bench,.. :)
Hi,
360 unispin is quite hard to get consistent ;)
it's nice you have already land some before... just try them for 5-10min every time you go ride, and you will get them again (and more consistent in time)
and I live in Belgium (Europe) :p
did u go to a club or something??? yr amazing!!!!!!!!!
great job
Just WOW!
what kind of unicycle do you ride? Ive been riding for like 6 months and want a new good one to do some freestyle and trials, and suggestions?
Hi Tim, your videos are amazing.. one year ago i decided to start unicycling after i saw one of your flatland video! (thanks for that) Just a question.. Now i'm thinking to buy a new unicycle that is provided with 135 mad4one cranks, are these cranks too long for flatland stuff?
Eres impresionante, cuándo me enseñas a hacer eso?

Thanks in advance :)
What are the easiest tricks to do which look the best i can so far jump about 3 ft max just now but thats it any tips ?
Hi Tim, just wondering if you had any tips for jumping high, so far i can jump 40cm but
I really want to be able to jump like 60-70cm. i dont know how to improve? by the way great video
1:23 WTF ? :) ...nice video ;)
I have a question, how many broken bones do you have? :( I love the video
unispins look quite cool I guess... :p
or 360 (with body and uni), looks really good down stairs ;)
I ride on an impact unicycle ;)
it is a really good unicycle to go more 'extreme' on :)
well first of all, you don't know where you will end up in unicycling... I remember I was like: wow, will I ever be able to hop 65cm? and now I hop 120cm and my overal skills have improved soo much :)
