Me too...the news is coming on in 15 mins...hopefully I'll make it on,
and grab a screen shot.

HungFromHooks was there with a camera, but I don't think he had it when
he was riding

I did notice some people I knew in the crowd, maybe they grabbed some
pics

Doing cool mounts on that to 100 cheering kids was pretty neat

(I also discovered a new UW mount last night to put in my movie)

Excellent, that must have been incredibly tiring.

What was the parade for? I find the whole concept of parades very
strange...they just don't exist over here.

It was for the Xmas parade. In Cananda, we don't have that many, I
think the americans have a parade for something every week

Maybe you do have them...and you just weren't invited!

Parades are great. I rode my 5 footer in the local parade on fri..it was
a lot of fun...but was hard to mount infront of THOUSANDS of
people..took a couple tries. The crowd liked it when i pretended to
fall, then ride away fine...you could hear them gasping thinking you
were gonna go down.

I don't think we have that many here, but in Mnpls/St Paul they seem to
have several every week.

To be fair, that's only really in the summer, and it's in about a 100
mile radious.

Contact the station, they may have footage, quite a bit ends up not
being used.

The Toronto Unicyclists do the (London) parade every year, and Darren
always graciously offers for us to join in

why don't the london guys do it...i'm sure is the next question

a) It's Darren's gig

b) They can put on a much more spectacular show

They even have fleece vests and toques with their logo, and lights for
the wheels, what a cool show. (of course, ideally Carl would show up in
time with the vests! heh heh)

In my area, I have called the organizers and asked if they wanted
unicycles in the parade. I have gotten an enthusiastic "YES" from all
three parades I've been in this year. My fourth parade will be this
coming Friday for our local Christmas parade.
