Mr Pringle...

I have met George, and read of his exploits in training lots of
unicyclists, acrobats, etc. My information is 20 years old, so not of
much use. Try some Internet searches, in yellow and white pages, as
well as just putting "George Pringle" with acro, unicycle or other
stuff he was involved with. I'm sure he'll turn up.

Meanwhile, I'm looking for Johnny Lonestar. For those of you who have
been watching the America's Got Talent TV show, he's one of the people
who I believe is still in the running. He's a rope-spinner,
gun-twirler, whip-cracker. What you don't see is that he used to be a
great unicyclist as well, and a member of my old Long Island
Unicyclists club. His real name is John Gionotti and he's from Long
Island. But he grew up around horses, and learned his skills going to
rodeos and other horse-related events. For the last 13 years or so he's
been professionally performing in a show called Country Tonite,
originally in Las Vegas and now in Branson, MO. I just want to say hi
and wish him good luck in the contest!

Welcome to the forum, Redwine. You definitely should get back into
unicycling. There is a really great community of unicyclists here for
your support, fun and general entertainment. You'll be amazed at the
availability of unicycles. Many, many manufacturers, models and sizes
available as well as a proliferation of riding styles. The sport has
come a long way in 30 years.

I am curious what is on the market today that is comparable to the Big
Wheel.

Howzabout something like 'this'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=962)? Or 'this'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=568) is probably more
like what you grew up with.
