Does it really freewheel? How do you ride it?

Its like a bike you can pedal forward or you can keep the pedals
stationary and still move forward (coasting like a bc).

Looks like a fun project Id like to try something like that sometime.

The hardest part is getting your hands on a Coker Wheelman hub.

Wow looks cool. Where did you get the Cokerman hub from, I've only ever
seen it as part of a Penny-farthing, not on its own?

Once you're good on it, I reacon you'll be able to get some nice speed
on that beast.

Looks good, looking forward to seeing a vid. How are you getting on?
does it help that you have a break on it? I want to try glide/coast
using the break and taking both feet off the pedals.

I have ridden one of these before (without a brake) and they are
possible but tricky. Having a brake would make it more interesting.
One of the difficulties without a brake is that you can only slow down
by stopping pedaling, coasting for a while and waiting till you lose a
little momentum. It is really important not to go full tilt so that
you have a safety margin in case you need to speed up to keep your
balance.

From memory it was not too bad to stay balanced as you accelerate,
deceleration was the killer. It helps a lot if you can already coast.

Wow, definitely the most high-end freewheeling unicycle I've ever seen!
I would have used a Sun or something. All that KH metal is wasted on a
novelty cycle...

If you know how to coast or glide a Freewheel unicycle should be
possible.
I agree that a brake is very handy here. However you can always brake
by turning or slaloming. That is the way skiers brake. A freewheel KH29
unicycle is definetly one of the things that I dream of owning and
mastering one day!
For right now I am still working on one footed pedaling with my weak
foot and going down stairs backwards!

I am dying to see the video, and I'd love to try that out (as I am sure
everyone else on the board would). It looks nice, good job.
