Heres another example of riding I do. BMX bike is best for this. My ex had issues with this but I like to ride rollercoasters, not road or "paths".

 Nothing too exciting but I'm always happy riding my beast lol, as it makes me feel big and bad for some reason. Me mounting it and riding, sorry I went out of view but I tried. I think I'm getting better though? I rock it to mount cause I cheat by pushing it forward so I can put weight on the rear pedal. Otherwise it flies from behind you.

Heres me going off the curb on my little one. Its a lot of fun. Working on going up but there is no way I can do harder stuff in front of the camera as I get nervous. I can also sometimes do seat in front and idle some now. I mounted it but that was out of the lens too lol.

I'll get a better video this weekend. My hamstring muscle has been strained but it should be fine by weekend and I'll have more space/time to tape.

Damn, Claudine! You're pretty good on that thing. There's NO WAY I could ride a unicycle. Impressive.

Thank you Jay!! I'm doing OK, nothing really impressive. But Jay, you could learn. Mounting though IS harder then dropping in. ALso may be cause I'm so short lol!

Its a lot of fun too. Its easier here to learn that then skating because I dont have to wait until places open, or the weather is dry and dont have to drive any place. I'm hoping now that I'm not working much in the evenings I can skate more and will improve faster. I'm also really motivated to get good enough to ride mountain uni soon. I need to be able to jump logs and ride over roots and rocks and all and mount on difficult ground. My mtb I already bent the stays once from riding too rough so I dont ride that much. I actually find pedaling more natural too as I was basically born on a "bicycle" and been on one my whole life so bicycle anything is easy for me. The rollerskating I havent been lucky to get into until just recently.

The rear stays/rear derailler. My mtb is meant cross country, not jumping, really not jumping logs I guess either. I do that on a bmx now as mtb cost too much and nothing much in my size lol. If you jump a lot on an aluminum frame, the stays start to buckle out, even on a lightweight like me lol. And derailler gets screwed.

Growing up, I do not think I have ever bent a stay, but then again.....I have had older bikes which are probably not aluminum. I have a very old Raleigh even now.

Yes, but those older bikes did not go on intermediate mountain bike off road trails with 3+ foot drops or go over 1 foot tall logs, jumps, etc. and get twigs stuck in the gears eh? Of course my old bike I jumped curbs, etc. and never got a flat, even today. If you ride real off road riding, it gets expensive, brakes break, chains break, the teeth on the chainwheel get messed up from missing log jumps, forget the whole gear thing, mine is now a 1x8, its pretty pricey. Best thing to do as I've done is single speed, no deraillers, bmx bike. Smaller for me, lighter, sturdier, simplier, wont break!! This is where I ride now and my bike stays in one piece. Give me an old bike I can break it in an hour lol.
