    Hmm, probably my 29er at about 250 feet max. The Colorado guys, or
    Nathan/Kris will probably win this one easily.

  11. I've ridden a 5-footer, aswell. Seems most people have - they're a
    fairly common Giraffe size to find at unicycle meets. 🙂

    A 7-foot unicycle at sea level is of height zero. It's 7 feet -tall-.
    The same uni in Denver is at height one mile or so, and is still 7 feet
    tall. 😉

    hrmm, you're right...well, I did Moscow Mountain Madness on my unicycle
    a couple years ago, and thats at about 5,000 feet.
    so far I've ridden the highest unicycle!!

    Kris and Nathan's riding in Bhutan (Into the Thunder Dragon) should
    win this category. Aspenmike is probably a good runner-up.

    I myself regularly ride at about minus three meters. I loose to
    everyone (so far).

    SUBJECT LINE POLICE: The above should have been your subject line.
    Unless you want to get technical, in which case it should say
    "ridden."

    For me, 16'. That's stupid-high. From that high up there's no sense of
    the texture of the ground. You can't see it from straight on,
    especially at midday. That just adds to the danger...

  20. Ben and Brad rode the Crevier family's 8'-footers at NAUCC 2003. Brad
    rode them when he was 10 years old. There are photos somewhere of him
    riding one.
