Switching back rims

August 23rd, 2010

Last winter I bought a new rim & spokes because my turquoise rim was starting to be pretty beaten up, and, mostly because the spokes and nipples I had on it were really really weak. Well, with time my white nimbus rim got beaten up too and I changed back to my turquoise rim, which is pretty straigth, except for the flatspot it has :\ . Oh well, here’s a picture from it today.

Photo of the week 33: Stylin

August 23rd, 2010

Hello again and welcome to photo of the week 33. I see your a regular attendee, I hope you enjoy your time here. Haha…

Anyway this week’s photo is of Sean Goode. It was taken at Jericho beach in the beautiful western area of Vancouver and  was taken by myself, your host, Bryan Corry.

This photo really shows Sean’s very unique and awesome style. Sean has a very flowing and committed style, by this I mean he commits himself to a line and will try to hold onto it even when most other people would have bailed. This photo very much highlights this. Sean is one of the few riders who could throw his body this far over and still manage to complete the line (which he did), he didn’t even touch.

It is funny that for the most part Sean has only ridden with me and yet our styles are so very different. The same thing goes for Neil and Ali both of whom I ride with on a regular basis. We each bring with us our own unique style. I could try to describe each of our styles but instead I will, the next few weeks, try to capture each of their styles in a photo to publish here.

Cheers

Bry

P.s Fall is fast approaching, time to land that line you have been struggling with the whole summer!

Photo of the week 32: Hidden areas

August 16th, 2010

Hello all, this week’s photo is of Neil Phillips. It was taken at the University of British Columbia by yours truly.

This photo highlights one of the best parts of unicycling, the exploring. By riding a uni you get to explore so many different areas that you may have never noticed while walking. This particular area was located between 2 different buildings.

Cheers

Bry

P.S if you ever visit Vancouver I highly recommend a ride at UBC. Your trip isn’t complete without a good ride here!

Photo of the week 31: Flash in the evening

August 12th, 2010

Hello all, this weeks photo of the week has been a bit delayed due to many many reasons including: computer malfunctions, too much riding, working and a holiday. But we are now back to the same bat time, next one on monday, on the same bat channel!

So this week’s photo is of myself. It was taken at english bay by Marc Edwards. I think that often we don’t think about taking pictures once it starts to get dark. Not only is riding at night or at dusk a ton of fun, but also photos taken with a flash at such times can really turn out well. The flash can be used  to illuminate certain features that are overlooked during  the daylight hours.

Cheers

Bry

P.S yes that log was as sketchy as it looks!

This event includes flatland battles, a Street competition (with the new rules, group sessions), a speed trials competition, a high jump and long jump competition (we will probably be testing a new and original way of judging both of these) and a Muni competition.

The goal of this week end is to promote unicycling in general, to discover the city from another point of view, to spot new and upcoming talents and mostly to have a great time !

Everyone is welcomed, if you want more informations, you can go check out the full schedule over www.monotreal.ca or send me a comment.
