  1. I was browsing the galleries and found this picture...

    Who is this person? They're very talented. It looks to me
    like they're either riding with a very very wide rim or on a
    rather skinny tyre. If so, that's even more impressive.

    It's a nice shot hey!

    I'm just guessing but it could be Frank Vroemen. I don't
    think his name is Heerlen, because Heerlen is a place in the
    Netherlands. I agree, it is a nice impressive shot. I can
    imagine myself falling to my doom over the right hand side
    of the rail if it was me up there. Actually I doubt I would
    even be able to mount the unicycle on the rail, let alone
    ride along and fall off. No wonder people associate
    unicycles with circus, with people doing tricks reminiscent
    of the high-wire act.

    Yo Rowan, I know what you mean but It's all about the
    unicycle... it's a good unicycle trick.

    I call it rail rolling, it's cool in my books as long as he
    ain't holding a pole and wearing clown shoes. I reckon ppl
    associate unicycles with circus because of unicycles in
    circus. Someone hoppin around doin trials and then pullin
    off a railroll is a bit different to a choreographed
    hirewire clown act.

    Progress with my one footed skills, I got 12 full revs
    today. The whole time I'm learning I'm just thinking to
    myself "this is so damn hard... this is gonna be so damn
    hard with my left foot!".

    He's a Dutch unicyclist who I know by the name of Frank. I
    don't know his last name but since the gallery says Frank
    Vroemen that's likely his full name. I've met him on a few
    MUni weekends. In the attached pic (which is on my site)
    he's the one standing with the red-seated uni, looks like
    the same unicycle as on the pic you spotted. It's very
    daring to ride that high skinny!

  6. Yes this is Frank Vroemen. It is a dutch unicyclist that now
    has got a Qu-ax trials. He have got a website and need more
    space for his movies. So i say to him to go to here. His
    website is www.eenwielertrial.tk ( unicycletrial )

  7. Thanks. I'm sure I could've found out for myself but I was
    going to post the picture anyway because it's a great shot.
    I wonder where he started riding from.
