  1. Hey all

    Im gona be on Blue Peter! tuesday the 20th at 5 Oclock

    from what ive heard its a 2 minute demo n then couple of minutes
    teaching one of the presenters(who can ride competently) a trick.

    I am experienced in teaching unicycling but i realised i can't really
    think of any quick tricks to teach, any ideas?

    And also how do you record it so i can get it on my computer like
    someone did with the richard and judy clip

    cheers Lucas

  3. Oh man! You're living the dream. Cherish your badge, don't go putting it
    on 'ebay' (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4848670.stm) or
    anything...

    one footed is quite easy to learn and looks quite good.

    How did you end up landing the best gig on earth?

  4. How about hopping on the spot.

    One footed took me ages to learn, I think it's harder if you have a bit
    of fear.

    Yeah! Or maybe even jumping a skipping rope...You could get the other
    presenters to swing said rope.

  6. Erm, well they saw an article on me in our local paper when i was trying
    to promote it all on the back of a british title 3 years out of date
    lol, so they wanted me to be the current british champion, so when i
    won it again in may i emailed them, and we tried to figure out a date
    but the only date they could do was the same day as my Maths GCSE exam
    so that didnt happen,
    I am unicycling at the trocadero in london on saturday so they rang up
    and said could we get down to the studio that weekend and ofcourse we
    will!

    So wish me luck that i can do it live which could be easier said than
    done!

  12. Nice one Lucas.
    I suggest you find out what they can do already, or what they may have
    tried and failed previously. Then just take them a step further...
    suggest they go to hockey at the Westway sports centre, thursdays at 9
    - it's only just down the road from the studios!

    Oh and mike if your based in london and are anywhere near trogadero we
    are unicycling there and doing circus workshops sposed to be a really
    good event, im not sure what else is going on probably lots.

    It's THE classic childrens TV magazine show. They do features on all
    sorts of stuff, its been running for about a million years almost since
    the dawn of time, or so it seems to anyone under 50 in the UK. If you
    are featured on the show you get awarded a blue peter badge, these are
    like gold dust and have special magical powers*or so it would seem from
    the prices they fetch on e-bay.

    *- some museums and zoos let you in free if you have one.

  17. Nice one mister Lucas of Wintercrane! Given your excellent award winning
    performance at the BUC freestyle competition I'm pretty sure impressing
    millions of TV viewers will be a piece of cake. Good luck!

    Unicycle hockey has featured twice before, most recently in 'August
    2005' (http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/42520) of which there is a
    'video clip' (http://tinyurl.com/jocph). But it isn't very good, just
    serial attempts at goal scoring.

    The first time it featured in 'March 2001'
    (http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/11375) was much better, being an
    actual 3 minute match and much more sensibly presented. As far as I
    know no clip of this is on the internet, but I do have it on VHS tape
    somewhere. Since I've been given a video capture card by a friend of
    mine I might be able to put that on the 'net, given some persuasion...

    Shame I can't find a spare VHS tape now for next week, but I'm sure
    most other people reading this thread will have their thumbs hovering
    above the record button.
