There are several natural enemies of the unicyclist. Loose shoe laces are one of them. Even though I double knot the thick laces on my 5.10′s every now and then they come undone during a ride, not good! I’ve had pair of Yankz! laces in the cupboard for a few months and decided it...

After a short session mid April introducing the Bullarto kids to the world of unicycling (outside of circus) via a selection of Youtube videos and a little demo it was finally time to get started. I brought along 7 brand new learner unicycles in boxes, the first job was to assemble them. In...

As luck would have it Eric the Red a street performer of many years lives only a few minutes away. After months of talking about it we finally hooked up for a uni session. Eric wanted give off road unicycling a go, and I was keen to try out a giraffe. After a cruise through the bush on...

Not long after my KH36 arrived in early October 2008 I started thinking about XC handle bars for unicycles. The KH36 is so much fun to ride off road and the longer rides, higher speeds and nature of the 36″ wheel seemed ideally suited to XC style bars of some sort. The arrival of my...

A helmet mounted GoPro HERO Wide camera captures a cool point of view but it’s not long before the itch for alternative mounting locations sets in. There aren’t too many mounting options on a unicycle that are readily accessible, just the seat tube and seat post, and my XC GUNI...

It’s not easy being a lone unicyclist in the forest… well actually that’s not true, more often than not it’s absolutely fantastic! Occasionally though it’d be great to have something – pictures or video – to show family and friends why riding...

With the KH 29″ Freeride ready to ride and a beautiful Autumn afternoon calling I headed out to a challenging stretch of single track in the Wombat Forest. This particular track has always felt a little beyond the combination of my skill and the standard 29′er, and is also too far...

My KH Freeride 29″ Project kicked off last week with the arrival of the 2009 Freeride rim and 2009 Moment Hub. The KH 29″ is my second most ridden unicycle off road – first is the 36″. The 29′er is such a crazy light unicycle, so nimble and zippy. The only thing...
