  1. Has anyone tried idling or doing a still stand upon a moving surface,
    like on a train or a bus? On the deck of a boat?

  2. No, but I've always wanted to try. Ther closest I've come is playing
    around on my sliding/rolling see-saw. It's made up of a ramp, leading
    to a beam which sits freely on three cable spools sitting curvy side
    down. You ride up the ramp and onto the plank, then stop pedalling and
    do a mini stillstand until it passes it's fulcrum point and tips over,
    then you ride off. Very fun. I want to make one that slides further
    though, the furthest I got on a successful attempt was 1.5m metres of
    sliding before it tipped.

    moving) skateboard

  7. I've ridden in the subway as it stopped to demonstrate. Then the thing
    started moving. I wondered why I was pedalling so hard and leaning so
    far before I looked over and noticed the platform flying by. It was fun.
    ONce it evened out I started hopping and doing stillstands. I've also
    done it in the transbay tube on BART where the trains hit speeds around
    80 mph. It's just like normal excapt a bit louder and bumpier, though.

  8. Riding on a moving vehicle is part of the 'Unicycle Fanatic Test'
    (http://www.unicycle.uk.com/uni-fanatic.asp). The test is linked from
    the front page of
    'unicycle.uk.com' (http://www.unicycle.uk.com/).

    I've unicycled on the car deck of a Washington State Ferry. The ferry
    is easy since it's so big that it doesn't rock or even feel like it's
    moving. I need to go out and find a more challenging moving vehicle to
    ride on.

  9. I was on a home comeing game parade float that I shouldn't have been on
    (rogue class of '05 and 171/344 Suniors).

    It was a little awkward at first, but got easier.

  10. If you had a really good driver of the vehicle, they could help you make
    adjustments to maintain balance. If you were falling backwards, they
    could slow down to help you back into a balanced position.

    This might only work in theory. Adjustments would have to be pretty
    subtle by the driver. But it's fun to think about.

    To go even heavier on the theoretical possibilities... You could sit on
    the uni and stay stiff while the driver makes all the adjustments for
    you. Just like balancing a pole on your hand or foot. The uni and
    rider would become like the pole and the vehicle driver would keep the
    rider upright. Being the rider for this scenario would be a weird
    feeling!

    To take it still further, the driver could accelerate and decelerate
    the truck so that the rider rides forward and backward. By bumping the
    truck over speed bumps and the like, he could make the unicyclist hop
    up a cable spool or anything. Heck, if the rider has his feet on the
    pedals and provides power input, the drives has to 'compensate' for
    that. Anyone could do anything on a unicycle!
