Ever seen a 36er LIKE THIS on the trail!?

Never seen one on the trail. I have seen a red haired hippy kid show up to the skate park on one though. He had a smaller one too. He was droppin in. Pretty crazy. I've tried to ride a uni before. Hard as eff.
That vid is pretty impressive. But it's still a unicycle. They look pretty damn dorky no matter what you're doing on them.

A couple of dudes rode uni's in a local 18 hour race. I didn't see the point as they generally were moving slower than walking speed.
Here ya go, bud.From 3/4/10. Something quite unusual for your perusal:
Testing drops, jumps, speed, maneuverability and even some super smooth cable cam shots! Everything is MUCH more of a challenge on this huge wheel, but FUN!!!

Thanks much!
Haha, thanks "bud", but I'm already a long-time member with 10,000+ posts. I just like spreadin' the word about this awesome sport!
Maybe someday, I'll get some sponsors, publicity like newspapers, web profiles, magazines, TV, radio, even maybe be profiled in a book...wait a minute...I already have! http://unigeezer.com/?page_id=73
I love you to try that with me pal!
I routinely hit 15-18mph on mine, and pass bikes on the uphill grinds. You guys have gears to help you climb, and can coast on flat and dh. I can't. I'm pedaling 100% of the time with no gears or coasting. Half the bike, twice the work out, 10x the fun!

Thanks!
while I can appreciate the talent and skill level, it looks not fun
Meh. I don't get it. It's like mountain biking but twice the work and half the fun.
whats the build recipe for that wheel? spokes, guage, nipples, hoop?
Great Video. I'm still trying to learn to ride the dam thing one of these days I'll figure it out .
I rode with this guy one day and it was really impressive.

No, just a damn good promoter of the sport! Please don't be petty and jealous about it, haha! The main objective is to get the word out that extreme unicycling is a legit SPORT, and takes heightened levels of skill, balance, strength, stamina, laser focus, dedication, and not a small amount of intestinal fortitude!
36 spokes, large marge rim, 14g stainless, isis splined hub.
Haha, BIKING is waaaaaay worse for sperm count, as you are ON the saddle much more! With MUni, I am up OFF the saddle more than on it, and always 100% weight on pedals when doing drops, jumps and riding over rough terrain. But I'm happy to educate the non-uni riders with their common misconceptions and stereotypes.
Thanks to all the "Ride Monkeys". Now go out and enjoy your two-wheelers and have a nice relaxing coast down the hills, and gears o'plenty to help you climb, handle bars to rest on, and those two wheels so you don't have to worry about balance. You have it too easy...unless of course, you're doing this:
Seriously though, bikes are awesome, and so is MUni. It's ALL good! Just love what you do and be happy!

Props to you for enjoying your hobby, but I don't get the appeal of pedaling like a hampster on speed to go down a hill. It's quirky and interesting at most, but I think there's a reason people aren't flocking the crazy world of mountain unicycling....
And all this time I have tried to balance on my bike. Apparantly it's not needed.

That looks like Kris Holm, and I've ridden with him as well. He's the best!Great Video. I'm still trying to learn to ride the dam thing one of these days I'll figure it out .

It is, but just way more on one wheel. And we in the Uni-community love the fact that we're not mainstream! We like being "UNIque!"
Good on you UniGeezer for loving your sport and sticking up for it here. I mean that, it's cool you are getting it out there.
I have always wanted to try it in the street, but never on the mtn. It just looks wrong.
We have a couple guys here who ride mountain boards. They love their sport too, but are just plain retarded.

I hadn't seen this thread until just now, but I'm sorry, after reading a bunch of the deleted responses it doesn't have anything to do with a "kinder, gentler Ridemonkey."
A bunch of people were being unpleasant for no other reason than to be unpleasant. Since when have we ever encouraged that here? I would expect that response out of a bunch of 12-year-olds. The responses basically boiled down to, "Unicycling, LOL. What a bitch."
Is there a list of subjects where ridicule is OK? We wouldn't want any delicate flowers to have their feelings hurt unnecessarily.

I don't mind negative, petty, juvenile, and non-constructive diatribes by individuals, who are most likely ignorant, jealous and resentful that they themselves lack the skills that others have.
I don't mind, simply because the vast majority of comments I've received-countless thousands-and continue to receive, via emails, thread replies, PMs, and on the trail, are overwhelmingly positive, supportive and encouraging.

How about following, you know, really basic social guidelines like, if a normal, reasonable person posts up bike related content about the hobby they're interested in or passionate about, there shouldn't be 20 friggin' people who jump on him saying, "LOL U FAG!!$$!!11"
I seriously cannot understand what the issue is here.
Are you guys such social mutants that you can't differentiate between giving Burly a hard time when he posts up a deliberately funny and self-deprecating story about getting a massage from a manly-looking woman, or harassing someone in the political forum who is completely gone from reality, and piling on with nasty comments when a new user posts a riding video of themselves and says "hey guys, I thought you might enjoy this!"
There's a whole grey area between being a douchebag and just having a barbed sense of humor, and this situation falls nowhere near the grey area.

Are you kidding me, did you read the guy's posts?
Clearly he is trolling/whoring or whatever.
You really can't understand why a whole lot of mtbikers aren't interested in a noob sprouting off about something only peripherally related to the sport? He posted to see what people thought and he was told. Think your cap is screwed on a little tight about this BV I'm afraid. You aren't being blackmailed by clowns by any chance, are you?

No offense to you or BV, but in my opinion your 'sport' has no appeal to me, but neither does figure skating or pairs diving and i hear those take amazing amounts of skill. No jealousy or resentment, just no care...

Look pal, I've done alot of f*cked up stuff in my day, but I ain't never deprecated on nobody, least of all myself. That's just nasty.
For the record:
I did the cleanup in aisle 3, not BV. I had read the replies, thought they were pretty abhorrent, left them alone until another mod, not BV, commented that they were out of line. Being mean for the sake of being mean is not admirable.

You left out the rest of my quote. In Context, the selective snippet of my quote you posted was totally tongue in cheek. Obviously you either didn't get the humor, or purposely ignored it in an unwarranted effort to flame me.

WOW....BIKE CONTENT on RIDEMONKEY. What a novel idea.
I think the video is cool. Of course, if I didn't like it I would probably not reply to the thread, but I'm funny like that.
