March 16, 201313 yr I'd never heard unicycle trials until today. so i googled it, and there seems to be some pretty cool stuff that can be done on one wheel. check out this link
March 16, 201313 yr Skilful though bouncing and balancing may be I think the most impressive such footage I've seen was the girl who, whist riding down a slope, used her foot as a brake on the tyre.
March 16, 201313 yr Man, that is very impressive. Everytime I see that stuff I can't help but think you would need to have really good knees for that. Fellow Team WGASA member on a unicycle
March 16, 201313 yr Zippy, Your friend's skill is really good. but I'm betting the judges won't give him a very high score on that dive. The degree of difficulty was average, but he made a big splash on entry...... Sando994, I have an immense amount of respect for the unicycle crowd. But that just looks like it could flatten my nuts in a matter of seconds.....

But that just looks like it could flatten my nuts in a matter of seconds..... He is just an all around great guy, helpful and really cares about people and pretty good on a trials motorcycle. Rides Expert level on modern bikes. Missed him riding last year. But he did show up for a couple of events on a TLR200 and looked good on that too. About the nut flattening...............if one has had a vasectomy does that make it easier to ride unicycle??

I think you need to google vasectomy - my wife may have been happier if it meant what you seem to think it is..... But in reality its two 10mm lengths of tube lasered out.
March 16, 201313 yr See our Gov't has ringfenced millions for sport at primary schools. It would be great if they gave each school a couple of unicycles,Bmx's,Cyclo Trials bikes. Bet the kids would love it.
March 16, 201313 yr My son's unicycle not as much as they did but it is a really good sport for all ages, if you live in the north east of England we have the biggest unicycle club in the UK at Billingham every Thursday night the club is called JUST and here is a link : http://justonline.org.uk/ have a look you will enjoy
March 16, 201313 yr if you type into youtube "mike taylor unicycle" you will see a very very good unicycle trial's rider and really good lad Edited March 16, 201313 yr by wetfeet
March 16, 201313 yr if anybody wants to try trials unicycling give me a shout i will bring one to a local trial(richmond darlington ect ) for you all to try
March 16, 201313 yr i have been to JUST a good few times. my kids picked it up really quick, its good exercise too. didn't end too well for me, fractured wrist and my arm in a cast for 5 weeks, got back to fitness just in time for reeth 3 day 2011. They have a warehouse in billingham where the store/sell unicycles from. last time i was in there they had a couple of new penny farthings got offered a go on one and declined as reeth 2012 was a couple of weeks away regret that decision now.
March 17, 201313 yr i know what you mean about kids picking it up quick the couple of times i have tried have not ended well first time i thought my bollocks where bolts in my neck and the next time they decided to knot themselves together,and believe me it is not a plesant experience, could not walk very well for a few days
March 17, 201313 yr I think you need to google vasectomy - my wife may have been happier if it meant what you seem to think it is..... But in reality its two 10mm lengths of tube lasered out. I have had the vasectomy. was back on my trials bike 6 days later. was thinking maybe the extra movement allowed by not being attached at all points would be benificial on unicycle. Besides I am married, so technically neutered anyways. On the bright side she tells me I am a happily married man. rubbish, why not just buy a pogo stick- nothing to do with proper trials at all You been talking to OTF too much.
