This is a different type of perspective/video than what I traditionally release. The perspective is not consistently in one direction because the camera is occasionally moving (I'm holding it on a monopod). Because of this, the video perspective/transitions may be jarring and difficult to follow at times. It's caused by me manually trying to compensate for moving the camera too much by adjusting pitch/yaw/roll in post-production (the source video is recorded in 5.6k 360°) and keep the perspective pointed somewhere other than my crotch/chest/face.

I worked on this video more as an artistic outlet and the raw video was never intended to be released in full, but it was a nice day out and I thought the ride was interesting enough to share whole thing on the internet. Also, because the perspective isn't pointed forward consistently and the convex distortion caused by a fisheye lens can make it difficult for some people to understand exactly what is happening. The short version is that I'm riding a relatively new type of "personal electric vehicle" called an electric unicycle or EUC (the diminutive equivalent of "e-bike"). Any other questions, let me know.
