sando994 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I'd never heard unicycle trials until today. so i googled it, and there seems to be some pretty cool stuff that can be done on one wheel. check out this link 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Skilful though bouncing and balancing may be I think the most impressive such footage I've seen was the girl who, whist riding down a slope, used her foot as a brake on the tyre.

zippy Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Man, that is very impressive. Everytime I see that stuff I can't help but think you would need to have really good knees for that. Fellow Team WGASA member on a unicycle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr neutron Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Zippy, Your friend's skill is really good. but I'm betting the judges won't give him a very high score on that dive. The degree of difficulty was average, but he made a big splash on entry...... Sando994, I have an immense amount of respect for the unicycle crowd. But that just looks like it could flatten my nuts in a matter of seconds..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rides Expert level on modern bikes. Missed him riding last year. But he did show up for a couple of events on a TLR200 and looked good on that too. About the nut flattening...............if one has had a vasectomy does that make it easier to ride unicycle?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to google vasectomy - my wife may have been happier if it meant what you seem to think it is..... But in reality its two 10mm lengths of tube lasered out.

breagh Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 See our Gov't has ringfenced millions for sport at primary schools. It would be great if they gave each school a couple of unicycles,Bmx's,Cyclo Trials bikes. Bet the kids would love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wetfeet Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 My son's unicycle not as much as they did but it is a really good sport for all ages, if you live in the north east of England we have the biggest unicycle club in the UK at Billingham every Thursday night the club is called JUST and here is a link : http://justonline.org.uk/ have a look you will enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie_lejeune Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 rubbish, why not just buy a pogo stick- nothing to do with proper trials at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wri5hty Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 i have been to JUST a good few times. my kids picked it up really quick, its good exercise too. didn't end too well for me, fractured wrist and my arm in a cast for 5 weeks, got back to fitness just in time for reeth 3 day 2011. They have a warehouse in billingham where the store/sell unicycles from. last time i was in there they had a couple of new penny farthings got offered a go on one and declined as reeth 2012 was a couple of weeks away regret that decision now.

wetfeet Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 i know what you mean about kids picking it up quick the couple of times i have tried have not ended well first time i thought my bollocks where bolts in my neck and the next time they decided to knot themselves together,and believe me it is not a plesant experience, could not walk very well for a few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in reality its two 10mm lengths of tube lasered out. I have had the vasectomy. was back on my trials bike 6 days later. was thinking maybe the extra movement allowed by not being attached at all points would be benificial on unicycle. Besides I am married, so technically neutered anyways. On the bright side she tells me I am a happily married man. rubbish, why not just buy a pogo stick- nothing to do with proper trials at all You been talking to OTF too much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
