If your going to spend this much time trying to prove unicycling is real you mine as well give up at life. Who cares what he thinks. He's just trying to provoke a reaction.

Kris Holm is a brilliant unicyclist. Being that I am a unicyclist, however mediocre, I know this to be true and that the feats he accomplishes are not fake.

That said, much of what Kris does still seems vaguely impossible to me. And to be somewhat controversial, stupid beyond the imagination.

I am familiar with the Braveheart quote, "all men die, but not all men truly live" and other similar sentiments. And there is no doubt that if I could change something about myself personally I would choose to be more adventurous. But even given all the things that are within Kris' control, there are too many things that are not to be doing the sorts of things he does. In my opinion.

James_Potter

2007-06-09, 02:36 PM

You know how every once in a while you see another unicyclist or group of unicyclists doing trials or street or muni?
When this guy sees some, he's gonna DIE pretty much.

I wouldn't say it's stupid beyond the imagination...I can imagine a lot stupider things he could be doing.

Like, for instance, not unicycling.

Do you mean things like riding on the very edge of a giant cliff and such? What makes it more okay in my eyes is the fact that they are so dangerous, that he's pretty certain to die if he falls in. Very small chance of crippling himself, which I think is worse.

Still, I'll have the Catcher in the Rye, please: "The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one." - Wilhelm Stekel.

I can agree with that, I guess.

Well, first off, I think we have to agree on the following statement: Unicycling is not a cause.

That said, and I'm going to assume for the time being that you agree, what one is willing to live or die for is a very personal thing. Martin Luther King said, "If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live." To me this is somewhat at odds with the Stekel quote although I'm not sure King would have disagreed with the sentiment. I don't know much about Stekel - other than that he wrote a seminal work on masturbation - but I have to give King the upper hand on commitment to a cause and a high degree of maturity.

Why not? Could be, at least for Kris. He did put a lot of himself into it, after all. Since he was a little boy and up to now. If that's not a cause, what is?

I think the disagreement between two quotes is only superficial. MLK: discover something you will die for. Stekel: wants to live for. So, combining them together, the man can live for that cause all he wants, but will die for it if he has to. Doesn't mean he wants to.

All I know about Stekel is the name and the quote, both from The Catcher in the Rye. It's an interesting bit of information you provided. Thanks.

I don't think that denying that unicycling is a cause, even at Kris' level, diminishes what he has accomplished personally and professionally. I will maintain my stance that it is not, just as my new hobby of not collecting stamps, a hobby I am devoted to daily and excel at, is also not a cause.

You may be right. But only Stekel could say really had we had the chance to hear his opinion on King's level of maturity.

Im going to rate all his video's ones:D

He won't know who did it, cannot blame unicycling, and affects how ppl will rate his videos, you arn't going to rate a video thats a 2 a 5, if it deserves a 4, you'll rate it a 3 on average....

EDIT: Oh crud, he has a lot of rating wouldnt matter much

actually, most of the kris holm vidios on youtube are clips from his movie, movie trailers, ect., posted by other people....

I FINNALLY GOT THAT KID TO ADMIT THAT HE NEVER THOUGHT UNICYCLING WAS IMPOSSIBLE!!!:D :D :D

The only reason i posted this thread is i thought that maybie he was a fellow unicyclist who was messing with us....

Turned out to not be true, but ive gotten some interesting responces from the unicycling community...

Ah yes, and that "freaked out psychotic" was me, whittleddownbattery:p

his pm to me is copied below

Re: hmmm
actualy your beyond hope. i might as well tell you now or i could probably fuck with yuo for alot longer. NO SHIT its real. im not that stupid i ride mountain bikes. but thanks for actualy your beyond hope. i might as well tell you now or i could probably fuck with yuo for alot longer. NO SHIT its real. im not that stupid i ride mountain bikes. but thanks for all the feed back.
i was just messin around tho. i dont think anyone would seriously believe it. a green screen affec or anything else i was bulshiting considering unicyles have bin around for a long time. but i got to say that cris holmes guys has got mad skill. i cant even ballence on one of those things. he can go down hill or next to a cliff side. mad props

Ah, and by the way, you would not only need a greenscreen, but also a greenbike, to fake unicycling...

and then you wouldn't see the obviously free motion of the frame, but a fixed, solid post hovering in midair!

I love my invisible training wheels!!!!:p

No, have someone on a unicycle holding onto something that is green. There, it works.
