  1. At MUC mtg last night, Craig and I had the brilliant idea of
    both of us riding on the same uni. No not one on the others
    shoulders. Me sitting/riding normally, Craig standing behind
    me, with his feet on either side of the crown and holding
    onto my shoulders.

    Several times we got a couple of revs and tipped over. The
    last attempt resulted in a sizable crash with Craig flat on
    his back with a nasty shin gash.

    Has anyone else accomplished this?

    I'm 185 and Craig is 170. I would say a 70 pound kid on the
    back would be easier, but I wouldn't want to put one in too
    much jeopardy if its not doable. (We're not chinese
    acrobats, they do many undoable stunts).

    We're just looking for something with a bit of pizzazz.

    David Stone's daughter does it 'one-footed'
    (xs4all.nlgraphics.htm).

    And a couple on my former uni club did it differently when
    the male rode normally and the female stood on his feet
    facing him (so she went backwards). They were holding hands
    I think. Sorry no photo.

    I haven't seen the infamous level 11 yet.

  3. I remember seeing someone riding (sitting forwards on the
    saddle). As they did this a second smaller person stood on
    the back of the saddle and held onto the riders shoulders
    for balance. They were asisted into the position and didn't
    hold it for long.

    I have not tried it myself - yet.
