I took my mtn bike and hit the trails today with some friends. We came across a couple of other riders in the woods and THEY WERE ON UNICYLCES :eek: I couldn't believe it, but there they went up and down the hills, rocks, roots, water, whatever. I was quite impressed. Just thought I'd share.........

Yep. Look at some videos and sites online. They can do some crazy stuff. Theyre not fast, but sure look like theyre having fun.

Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.

haha my son (12yrs old) has one and he does some weird things with his too. It's amazing the thing you can do on those.

There's a kid that I ride with from time to time that is quite the unicycle rider. Rides in boulder gardens and such. And you should see the line he can hold when he's on 2 wheels. :)

Could you imagine running clipless pedals on a unicycle :)

Hope they had suspension -- sitting straight up would surely put a lot of force on the nether regions --- :eek:

We have a DU here in Memphis every year, (usually March-kinda the Multisport season opener) and they actually have a unicycle division in the race. And it's off road.

Jstyle - I asked them about clipless pedals - they said it was too dangerous.

solidad - they didn't seem to have any suspension, just thick mtn tires.

I told them I would stick to two wheels and one of them told me I needed to try it and "to loose the training wheel". HAHAHA!

they have a cyclocross category in some races here for unicycles although it never seems particularly serious
