amazing how something could look so difficult but still look so lame. I will be impressed though when someone rides a bowl on a unicycle

I was a lot more impressed watching a group of guys ride the Slickrock trail in Moab.  To me that seems a lot more difficult and less awkward-looking than a bunch of weird tricks.

I stopped watching half way, it's not fun to watch at all like skating is. I know it really technical and hard but not interesting to watch

I ride, but I'm not anywhere close to urban stuff and tricks. There is a guy in my club who is just starting urban stuff, the first step is learning to ride without sitting down because you don't want to rack yourself every time you land, but when you mess up it hurts bad I hear.

Man as much as i respect the talent and difficulty that goes into unicycling, it still looks so cheesy and nerdy. it really needs more flow. theres still alotta kinks to be worked out in unicycling. There is actually a local unicycler that comes the skatepark near my house every now and then. hes real good too. but he's just so damn white and nerdy!

Maaad props goes to that dude for that handrail at the end!!!!

i think its the opposite.

I got pretty good at unicycling back in the day to the point where I could ride switch and do SOME tricks, but like said above, theres juyst no flow with the locked hub, If you could somehow control a freewheel hub and haul ass without compromising balace (if you have ridden a unicycle you know how crazy the balance would be) thatd be way dope.

I own one of them things. I haven't ridden it in like 10 years but I still have it for some reason.

Maybe I'll make a documentary about me riding all the way from one side of my house to the other to raise money for hungry people(aka me)

I just gotta make sure I never fall and hit my dome. The last thing I need is any more head breakage from stupid things.

true, its actually really easy to just step off these things before falling though, you'll be fine.
