  1. I looked at 'Corbis' (http://www.corbis.com) to see if I cold find any
    more info on that Muni Cell phone background, they have quite a few
    cool unicycling images.

    But my questions is how long until someone, perhaps Julien Monney is
    able to do this:

  3. I've done that before but without a tie. That would be impossible with a
    tie on.

  5. The hardest trick I have ever seen is a toss up between Julian's stand
    on seat coasting and a trick similar to the picture above. A young
    Chinese acrobat was Unicycling upside down, with their legs in the air
    on a giraffe unicycle (with their hands pedalling). Oh, and they were
    riding on a slack rope :-)

    Is there a picture or even video anywhere?

    Those two pics on that site, looks as though there may not actually be
    a frame on the wheel though....

    Correct. He's riding an ultimate wheel in a way no one else can.

    I think riding an ultimate wheel inverted should be quite a bit harder
    than a giraffe, assuming the giraffe gives you shoulder support. If
    not, the giraffe gets the props. But I assume it does, or there's no
    way to "lever" the thing; to keep your body aligned in relation to the
    frame. This is not an issue with an ultimate.

    Mel Hall used to ride an ultimate wheel inverted also, though I never
    heard of him doing it on a slack wire. He supposedly spent a long time,
    and broke a lot of bones, trying to learn the dive from a regular
    unicycle to the inverted riding of his UW.
