Just got a Bahne Grid with Cadillac wheels. Great streetstyle deck with loads of pop. Wheels kick it too. I'm sure the rest of the street decks rock as well. Check em out at $27.95 for the decks they're a deal.

HC, the stance you refer to, where my front foot is turned out, could be called a "4th position," using the terminology of ballet.
Thanks for your kind words on the video.

Yo psYch0Lloyd, your "the uni-skate PSR, it originated from something that broke" reminds me of the first street contest I ever entered (sometime around '84-'85)... I broke my board during a warmup session and had to use someone elses' board during my run. Anywho, the last move I did was a one-footed tail wheelie using one of the halfs of my broke deck. Thanks for bringing back the memories!

HC,thanks for tossing that address up here.The info was enlightening,and has note of something I've noticed in the past,that if you combine old and new moves,you get "fresh" style.I wonder how soon we'll see blunt-end street-style boards with gription on the truck hangers for Pogo-nollie variations!

You're right about the uni-skate PSR, it originated from something that broke. That first one had a foot shape carved into the griptape. The vehicle later evolved into one that I took on the Pepsi tours w/me and it had a couple of Frisbees slapped on either side of a circular core (what was left of an old Archeryflex). I used to send that spinning across the floor and then jump on it. Whichever way I landed on it was the way I rode it. As I got better I could pump forwards backwards and little sideways in a pinch, go into 360's and then exit in any direction. I'd fall over if I stepped on one now, I'm sure I could pick it back up again (but I'd rather not). It was just fine for the time...

Uni-Skate? I thought Sidlo had simply broken one to many rollerskates... JUMP onto it from 2 ft out?!?! Nuts! Anyway,I wanted to thank you for tossing the Vid up,Dan.Nice stuff. Ever think of getting some of 'the good Ol' boys' together and make a bigger,burlier video? Just a thought.

Okay! More like it...
...Thanks Dan, I was wondering when you were gonna do it.
Now how about that first move and the rest of the no-trick freestyle routine concept? So maybe my idea was more surf oriented and not dance based. Or is it too much to ask for? BTW, You should see how crossover switches look like when pulled at full speed during a hands-down carve...

PSR,
First off, props to Al Sidlo (aka PsychoLloyd) for pioneering the technique of riding the uni-skate. I learned it from him, and he was better on it than I've ever been.
I start by placing my left foot on the left side of the "deck," then I carefully push with my right foot and place it next to my left foot. There's some skill involved in catching your balance at the start.
Another technique, which Al developed, involves just jumping on the damned thing with both feet at the same time. I used to be able to do that from a distance of 2 - 3 feet. A bit risky!

I was very busy finishing the Wuerzburg contest video this week, so I was not visiting this fantastic place to reply.
... BUT the video is finished now, YES! It's on a CD in SVCD quality, so you can play it on your home DVD player as well. If you want to order a copy, feel free to contact me by mail at : yoyo@germanynet.de The price will be 10 US $ including postage. You can buy with a friend and make legal copies; I just want to cover the cost.
YOYO
