I noticed that, too. Everyone to whom I have pointed this out
has said "So?". It seems a rather fundamental difference to me,
but they must disagree and view the two as equal. I guess Nintendo
has the same view.

Do we have any mpegs of really great unicycle tricks? Other than
bungee jumping, that is. A friend on mine on campus has an mpeg
compression board if we have any videos we would like to grab.
Can anyone do any neat tricks? I may have mpegs of me riding
and freemounting in a few weeks. We're planning to video tape
one of our practices and grab them.
