Just more awesome content dude. Your stamina on some of these longer combos, In particular that 'sketchy' double backroll flip combo is just wicked. The fact that you went after that 2-3 more times without impairing your execution is seriously impressive. And got it cleaner no less. There's a weird element to 'sketchiness' for me. Sometimes the easier a combo 'looks', the harder it is to appreciate. Your 'sketchy' one painted the picture of how many hundreds of hours of dedicated practice it takes to get to that point. You make everything look so effortless 99% of the time, so seeing you hit a 'sketchy' sequence creates a contrast which makes the combo look badass, difficult, and earned. Side note, starting at 6:47 I could not tell if the fisheye was playing tricks, but your wheel looked slightly out of true during this whole shot. When you spun the uni 180 while talking, it looked out of true the other way. As you know you probably wouldn't notice it much while riding if it's slight, but you're doing some heavy and intense stuff, so it's worth the mention in the 1% chance that I'm onto something 🤷 It's gotta be the lens though right 😂?

Thanks so much for this comment man! I feel like you're spot on with the idea that the smoother it looks, the harder it is to actually execute and be consistent with. That being said I've also noticed that the more practiced with rolls you are, the more you are able to save even if you're not in an ideal position. As for the wheel looking out of true, I'm fairly certain that its just the distortion of the fisheye haha. But good looking out. I do have a backup wheelset that I'll bring to Unicon just in case things go sideways.

Fantastic tricks and fantastic editing lol

[@JanNiediek]

scotty hops hahahahaah I remember seeing those, too funny

Dude that was awesome. Props on figuring out the 3spin-rollingwrap, it really does look so much cooler completely one footed like that. The combo with the two backroll doubleflips was my favorite. Have you done any blind spinning at all? Rollingwrap-5 is super easy if you do the spin blind, because you don't have to reset your hands lol

[@scottjulian6517]

Thanks for the push to relearn those! That’s a really interesting idea for the 540s. I’m not great with my blind direction. I can 360 fine but would have to learn blind 540s before I send that. Seems like it would work really smooth coming out of a roll though.

Your warm up is like the dream for me 😂. Backroll doubleflips looked awesome especially with the late 3.

[@scottjulian6517]

Thanks dude! Late tricks in combos are absolutely my favorite.

[@jacksebbenunicyclist]

I find the trick with the 360 to roll without touching the tire is to slightly overspin the 360 and throw your dangling leg behind you more to the opposite side. I disagree with Eli, I think it's slightly harder, but it looks waaayyy nicer and a lot smoother.

[@doamono]

Another great session Scott! Your rolls are so good! My favourite things in this video were the full varial flip, the rocket launch and the RW-540. Loved all the gongs when touching the tyre with the back foot and the bowline? tutorial 😅

[@scottjulian6517]

Haha thanks man! Each video is getting slightly more unhinged than the last…
