  1. My girlfriend's brother managed to find this spectacularly
    useless-but-amazing piece of Christmas tat. The mind boggles about how
    the designer came up with this...

    Have a good Christmas everybody!

    holder, with a wooden unicyclist riding on top of the paper as you roll
    it off 😄. I'll try to find it

  5. I'm trying to look closer at those pedals.
    Are they Wellgos ot DMRs? V8 or V12s?
    Are they really suitable for snow riding?

    And where's his helmet?
    That hat offers no protection whatsoever.

    He's made out of snow, for god's sake. If he's gonna live a short life,
    let him live it on the edge, if he likes:p

    And sorry, I can+t find the toilet paper guy. If anyone knows where the
    thread might be, please post it

  9. Sadly my lovely ornament isn't very Christmassy, but at least it does
    show how it's possible to ride a Kangaroo Coker (The secret is to hang
    on to a dove to keep your balance!)

  14. 'Some of my ornaments here'
    (http://unicycling.smugmug.com/gallery/2694022). I missed some
    though... To me it's an ornament if you can hang it. If it has a base
    (and isn't meant to be hung) it's something else. Bric-a-brac,
    collectibles, dust collectors, whatever you want to think of them as.

    I have one of those toilet paper holders, but it's in the box. I have
    the paper towel version, but no picture of it handy. There's a picture
    of David Poznanter and Bruce Bundy playing with it in one of my old
    MUni Weekend albums...

  15. Hey John, that’s a nice collection of ornaments! I saw that you still
    have the ceramic plaque from Unicon IV. I got one like that from
    getting a second place on the Standard Skill event…. And guess who got
    first place!!!!😉 Did you still have the trophies?

    And speaking of Christmas decorations….. I just recently got this one
    of a Santa Claus riding on a Coker!

    MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!🙂

    That was my big year; I won all four of the big trophies for the men.
    That was Compulsory, Standard Skill, Freestyle and Track. They didn't
    come apart, which meant that the two I took home each flew as separate
    pieces of carryon luggage (with T-shirts taped all around them. I still
    have the Freestyle one. I might have the Track on in a box, or I might
    have broken it down into the unique parts (they're big!). The other two
    were going to be shipped to my parents by Alberto (Ruiz), but they got
    lost in his warehouse. They turned up a year or two later and
    apparently he did ship them. My parents took one look and said "What
    are we supposed to do with these?" Well they're bloody collectors'
    items! My mom still has the little Federacion Unicyclismo Puerto Rico
    emblem from hers, and I think that's about it. 🙂

    Notice Santa's Coker looks amazingly like the one Mr. Orange-Man was
    riding, as well as the clown above. I've seen those little unicycles
    under every tacky clown you can imagine. Rarely you see the more
    interesting ones, like some of the ones I've collected.

    I treasure the unique ones, like the Unicon IV plaque, and the dinosaur
    statue from the 1991 NUM in Chariton, Iowa. They were both Thank You
    gifts for helping out. I should have taken a picture of the back of the
    Unicon IV one, which has a nice inscription. Next time.

    I should put captions on those pictures. Maybe I will now...
