Had a bunch of fun this afternoon at the weekly uni get together, riding the hills near the skate park. Frankie started the afternoon saying his uni wasn’t good on dirt downhills, an hour later he was making it to the bottom of the descent on both the 16″ and 12″, no...

It looked like this week’s uni meet at the local skate park might get rained out, instead it turned out to be a ripper of a Spring day. A bunch of riders of all ages turned up and enjoyed the idyllic late afternoon/early evening, riding the park and surrounding hills. Here are a few pics I snapped:

Unicycling; an adventure sport for all? Hmm… cue the clown music as the view amongst non riders remains that unicycling is a prop used in circus acts and/or a skill that only few people are able to master. Curiously this sits comfortably with a surprising number of unicyclists,...

It’s taken a while but I’ve finally gathered a decent collection of learner uni’s to use in schools and community unicycling sessions. I think it’s important to offer a range of wheel sizes when running unicycle sessions, not just to cater for the wide range of ages...

Unicycling with the kids in years 3 through to 6 is going great! The kids have shown loads of enthusiasm and determination and are well on their way to unicycling off into the sunset The lack of suitable fixed railings at the school made the initial learning feel trickier than it already is....
