neil is a beast! check out more of his vids 'here'
(www.neiltunnicliffe.com)

And serch google video for his teamate Craig Lee Scott

First their was moto trials. Pere Pi, a deisgner for montesa
motorcycles, gave his son Ot a bike to learn trials on before moving up
to a motorcycle. But Ot stuck with the bike. In 1983 when sales of
montesa motorcycles slumped, Pere pitched the idea of building the
first production trials specific (non-motorized)bikes and thus the
birth of Monty.

bike trials hasn't really "taken off" in the US or Canada, but it is
huge in Europe, and is the national sport of Japan.

Does anyone know who started uni trials? I'd think it has to be either
Kris Holm or George Peck.

Amazing stuff!

A few years ago I saw a French biker doing that at the Hartford Ski
Show. They said he was the World Champion. I don't recall the missing
seat but he did the trick of jumping his rear tire from one obstacle to
the next. He had a female volunteer lie on her back on the floor and
he balanced on his rear wheel bouncing the front wheel up and down and
missing her nose by inches.

this is a video of craig lee scott hes on a "mod" bike, a mod bike it a
trials specific bike, it has the same size wheels as trials unicycles
and pro unicyclist can NOT do some of the things people do on trials
bikes because the bike alows you to hop higher becasue of the 2 wheels
and also with bikes you can do what they call a "pedal kick" witch
launches the bike forward and this can be extremly well done if the
person is in good shape because the can control the front wheel to go
down level almost with the rear wheel and then it gives them more power
for further jumps.

Here is the link to the video: http://tinyurl.com/htp95

it's amazing how pinch flat resistant a good downhill tire is. But bike
trials riders still get plenty of em. Not having a seat also gives you
more breathing room to bail and not nut yourself on the bike.

Yeah, very gutsy! It amazes me how a much heavier bike can jump so much
higher and farther than a unicycle. It's all in the lever effect...

I'm pretty sure baseball is still enjoying a slight lead in Japan...
:p
And, not to sound annoying, I bet there are a lot more unicyclists than
Trials bicyclists there.

I'd have to say Kris Holm is the "father" of Unicycle Trials. He's the
author of the international rules, and we look to him for the updates.
But people may have been doing it before then. I first heard of Trials
for unicycles from Bruce Bundy and David Poznanter. In 1996 or 97 they
"discovered" downhill tires, namely the Gazzalodi, for unicycles. This
opened up new possibilities of what the unicycle could handle. They
started going to Bike Trials events.

This gave me the idea to do a Trials event at the 1998 CA MUni Weekend.
It was pretty crude, just using the natrual terrain of a rocky lake
shore, but it's the first Unicycle Trials competition I'm aware of.
1998 was also Kris Holm's first appearance at a unicycle event (MUni
Weekend); the first time he'd ever ridden with other unicyclists! Kris
won the event.

Then, in 1999 he was one of the primary guys in charge of what may have
been the first "proper" Unicycle Trials competition, at the USA
Convention at the Snoqualmie Pass in Washington. I had the honor of
managing second place to Kris' first, riding the course in a lightning
storm!

George Peck is considered by many to be the "grandfather" of rough
terrain unicycling. He was doing Trials-type stuff before most of you
ever thought of unicycling offroad. But, uh, now he's into Bike Trials.
Go figure!
