I can't flip, so dont listen to the hermit... but Im surprised no one has told you to get more hight.  Seems you work more on the rotation than the air, so you un-tuck too low.    just an observation.  Good video!  use the footage to improove your technique.  You can teach yourself more than any instructor that way!  (in anything your trying to learn).  Loved the Chevelle too.

You could design your own switch, bassed off gravity.  Kind of like a one way accelerator switch.  Have a weight on a lever (the lever is your 'switch), and rig a spring to the lever so it is held upwards, (making contact and closing the circut).  When you bounce, the wight will open the circut and turn the lights off while the springs are compressed, and when you are in the air and weightless, the lights will be on.  Also, when you are simply walking around, the lights will be on, (so long as your steps arent violent enough to trigger the spring/switch.  It'd be a cool effect, because if you made an actual buton that was bassed off a hinge in your stilt, they wouldnt be very consistant when you walked...   just a thought.  enjoy!

Nice dude.  Very artistic.  Simple is sometimes better, but as you can tell from my sig, I like couds.  *Grins*

guitar hero 2 and 3, if it's your 'cup of tea'. 

haha, ive actually thought about bocks being used that way... fun stuff.  the fan part is just a bit stupid... lol

dude, he's 4 feet in front of the car... lol.  unless he landed on his head, it woudlnt have hurt.  but nice photo. 

haha, I love the brand new tire socks, with a recently stripped down bike in the background. lol.  Great job hopping in one place.  Most beginners have trouble with that part. 

very nice explaining.  standing up should be one of the first things people learn, yet there is a huge lack of tutorials for it... 

Sadly, I wont be on bocks for this holoween.  wear and tear on hooves, etc. = out of service...   no worries, I have a homemade creation that'll get the neighbors:



his name is elmer, and he was a prop for the play 'beauty and the beast'.  (Maurice's wood chopping invention).  The axe swings when you pedal.  (the bike is not automated... I just showed the movement in the gif...)



here he is, painted.    it doesnt go very slow, but its very manuverable, and looks crazy as heck!

anyways... happy holloween! 

well enough, just curios.    I was wondering how the physics would work out with just a wall, no 'ramp'.  sweet action, just the same.  

hehe, i would do it.  So, it happened to you?  which part, getting hit by a car, or having your window smashed by some loonatic.    Funny vid, all the same.

I get bad 'feelings' about glue.  Just not my thing. I know TFD vulcanized his tires to his original hooves.  I think I'll stick with bolts for now, untill I find a more 'permentant' tread.

I have seen people do backflips on and off bocks.  Has anyone triend to do a wall plant/backflip with jumping stilts on?  Twould be quite interesting.

haha, sweet.

I have seen it, first hand. lol.  The vid is actually new to me.  This is the importance of keeping your knees up when you first start out!  There is a HUGE tendancey to 'drag your feet'.  Rememebr guys, the stilts wheigh about 10 lbs each.  (sorry, not sure about the kg or whatever).
