  1. I am sure this has been done before but this is the first time I have
    ever seen someone ride a Coker one-footed. This is Marquise from the
    Memphis Unicycle Club.

  3. Once you get moving, one footing on a coker is almost easier than a
    smaller wheel due to the momentum as has been mentioned. Its a cool
    feeling and lots of fun.

  6. Marquise can do anything. Let that be a reminder! 🙂

    I wish my stupid scanners worked. I'd post a picture of David Ramos
    wheel-walking a 40" big wheel at Unicon I. No, not in a freestyle
    performance, this was about 1:00 in the morning in the dorms...

    But on those old hard-tire big wheels, the best trick was always a
    pirouette. That's much harder with the grippy tires of today's 36"
    wheels. That's what makes my old 45" wheel still my parade vehicle of
    choice.

  7. I've done a side jump mount on my coker. (as well as 1 footed and
    perhaps a few other tricks)

    Somehow I read it as "coker ultimate wheel walking" - now that would've
    been a sight!

    oh yeah!
    similar to walking a barrel but much harder with the added side-side
    problem and the small area on which to place your feet, not to mention
    the huge leverage you would have against the wheel:p
