Here is a Youtube of my 16 yr old nephew, who has been riding for about 2 1/2 years now.

I especially like when he slides down the railing.

I wonder how much paint he takes with him when sliding down those rails.  Wink

I think this was filmed at his high school so he probably doesn't care about the paint. Grin

I wonder how much blood he has spilled learning all of that. Impressive.

Do you know how much he practises every day?
And really, it's not without danger, I guess you touch the concrete ground lots of times before you achieve this skill.

My brother in law lives in Los Alamos, NM, which is a pretty small town. So Max is known around town as the unicycling kid. I think he rides daily (altho since he's gotten a driver's license that probably takes the place of some of the unicycling-to-get-to-where-he-wants-to-go). His older brother just got a college scholarship for downhill race mountain biking and is nationally ranked, as well as being known in mt. bike racing circles for a rather spectacular wipe-out that landed him in the hospital w/ a concussion:

Both of them have gotten pretty caught up in mountain biking/mountain unicycling over the last few years.
