    Just remember that throughout the whole demo you should be
    doing more and more impressive skills like one big
    crescendo. We did daily demos (mainly trials) at a big
    Australian folk festival last Christmas holidays and towards
    the end of the week when we'd started to get the hang of
    building up the moves and skills, people were enjoying it
    the most. Try to get the crowd involved by getting everyone
    to count down together bofre someone does a big drop or a
    big move of some sort. Jumping over people is always
    entertaining to most people. We had a
    1.5m high platform that we were dropping from and clearing
    more and more people each time (only up to 5). The crowd
    enjoyed that.

    Good luck, Andrew

    Oddly enough, I am doing a similar show tomorrow. The event
    is the Modesto Family Cycling Festival, in downtown Modesto.
    This is where the movie American Grafitti was filmed.

    So the audience will be families, and the event is cycling-
    oriented. This is great for me as I don't have to do any
    juggling or other skills, which I am not as good at. Since
    it is a cycling event, I do it from an educational point of
    view, but it's still a show. I explain what the different
    unicycles are about.

    I also have 30 minutes, and will be followed by a unicycle
    club performance (Uni Psycho Mania), and the Giant BMX
    Stunt Team.

    I will use some audience volunteers to jump over, or for
    other help. I usually finish up with the giraffe, though my
    "biggest" trick is usually the saddle-handlebar stand on my
    artistic bike while juggling three clubs. This is especially
    hard on the piece of street where this show will be. Maybe
    I'll be lucky and they will have repaved it since the last
    time I was there.

    I might also bring my 9' giraffe, but I don't really have
    any show material for that one, just riding it and showing
    how you get on and off. And maybe a spin, and pretending to
    fall on the audience.

    The main thing is to have fun, and take the audience places
    they want to go, or where they don't think you can go.

    Are you going to record the show?

    It would be great, internet is lack of those kinds of
    videos, no performances for non unicyclists 🙁

    Thanks!

    Sorry, no photos or footage of the people-jumping. I'd
    probably put the trials a little further towards the
    end...non unicyclists are generally pretty impressed
    with trials.
