  1. I was thinking about all the things i've done with or on my unicycle
    over the years and thought i would like to know what other people have
    done weather it be crazy, unique, or just wierd. like the time i rode to
    my band practice on my 20" uni while carying a trombone in the middle of
    winter and i only had a road tire on, did i ever get a lot of honks and
    "wows'' that day 😄

    riding. Dang it's tough to do.

  6. I've ridden...

    in many parades

    down a steep hill in the snow on a Torker CX

    outside with a pink boa scarf around my neck, an ugly fisherman's hat
    on, with no shirt, with people walking by

    stand up wheelwalk barefoot (ouch!)

    probably some other things that I can't remember.

  7. I rode in a hotel lobby, up the elavater, down the halls, then into our
    room. Once.

    Rode on a treadmill.

    Tried to tie my shoe while riding, that was just plain dumb. Didnt work,
    either.

    Shot my compound bow while Idling. I discovered that its hard to aim
    that way. Huh.

    All that's really more dumb/weird stuff, all the crazy stuff I've done
    pretty much everyones done before. I was 4 feet away from my unicycle
    during an earthquake last week, but dangit, I didnt think to ride it.🙁

  8. I have also done stand-up wheel walk barefoot, briefly. Ouch! I don't
    know how Simon Wells does it.

    Probably the craziest thing I have done is high-speed downhill stand-up
    gliding.

    I have ridden with a worn-down street tire on a footpath with two inches
    of unevenly packed snow. It was incredibly slippery. I finally
    discovered it was actually easier to ride where the snow hadn't been
    packed down, since it was more predictable.

    I have practiced freestyle outdoors at 10 degrees Fahrenheit, wearing a
    heavy coat and thick mittens.

  9. I have ridden breifly at -40 degrees Fahrenheit*. I didnt pactice
    anything, just rode back and forth down our driveway a couple times. And
    it was in deep crusty snow, on a 1.75" tire. (that was before I knew
    about muni type tires)

    *there could be some debation wether or not it was -40, maybe it was
    closer to -35 at the time, but i would still say -40.

  14. I totaled my car, so lately, i've been ridding back and forth from the
    grocery store, along the highway, I get honked at alot, but one time I
    rode after freezing ran. I was going along just fine and then I tried
    to turn, suprisingling I was sliding sideways, BUT I kept my balance,
    the slide slowed down I got tracktion again and rode forward, I landed
    on my ass the second time I tried to turn though.

  15. I've ridden my giraffe in the rain about a yr ago for about mile for no
    reason.

    I've done an on the spot show for about 20 roofers who looked like jail
    escapees.

    I've glided at the highest speed could for 3 hott girls who basically
    blew me off after they stopped and talked to me.

  16. I've riden my uni off a 109 metre high platform only attached by a rope
    while doing a canyon swing in New Zealand. To make sure I really did
    enjoy it, I did it another couple of times. It really was great fun.

    I then rode my uni off a 47 metre high platform while being attached to
    a bungy. My second go was riding off backwards. Word of advice to
    anyone daft enough to do this one. Make sure you have a fully body
    harness on, otherwise you could break your back! Guess I was lucky
    there.

    Although I didn't ride my uni in the helicopter, it was taken up to
    2000m strapped to the outside for some serious downhill fun. This
    wouldn't have been complete without starting the ride in the snow.
    Seriously great fun. Of course I had to do this twice as well.

    In hind-sight the daftest thing I've done is ride a 24" uni with a
    viscout saddle (and no skin lubricant) 37 miles. I certainly don't
    reccodmend this one. The 100 miles I rode in one day last year was far
    less painfull. Morral of the story being get a comfy saddle.

  18. HAHAH, some funny stories. I"ve riden my 6 footer in my work (grociery
    store) for circus days, dressed in a clowns suit, blowing a whisle and
    honking horns. I don't try to help the steriotype, but i did get paid
    for doing nothing at all. lol.

    In -20 degress F, Keaton and I have sessed this ledge for about 3 hours
    on a january night. I was in four pairs of socks, two pairs of pants,
    one shirt, with four hoodies on. gloves and a hat. haha. Cold stuff.

    Rode down this really steep hill in like 6 inch snow on crappy 24"s,
    called the hill senior. We never made it all the way down, but we always
    rode too fast so we did fall. haha. Slippier stuff.

    Tried an 18 set hand rail with only 11 set handrail practice. OUCH!

  19. hi all, I'm new here 🙂 I've been unicycling for 3 months and I have
    ridden to the bank on my uni and taken it inside to use the ATMs, I got
    lots of weird looks from the bank tellers!

    I also plan to go through a fast food drive thru with my unicycle, but I
    don't think it will work... anyone tried this?
