Haha.

Hey, I saw a unicycle on America Funniest Home Videos yesterday. A guy parachuted out of an airplane riding a unicycle, and he landed and rode off trailing the parachute. It was pretty cool.

Yeah, too bad I cant show anyone else, or know who he is, or somthing.

The uni looked pretty low-tech, chrome frame, miyata saddle, 24" I think, he definitly had some little knobbies on his tire, not much, but some. I dont know how old the tape was.

Any East coasters watch it? Give us the scoop. How is it? Is it at the beginning of the show or the end of the show?

Ha, ha. Wouldn't you like to know.

Sorry; can't help you. I am on the aforementioned coast, but I haven't watched TV at all in four years (don't own one). I know I'm missing some good stuff, but I really can't go back to watching. I think I'll start a thread about that.

Ugh! That was lame. It was an audience member doing an audience show and tell.

Still cool for the guy who got to show off, but I was hoping for a professional routine.

He droped his tennis balls and let the uni drop from under him.
(he had to ride downhill, so that probably contributed)
(not to mention being on National TV)

Yeah, lame.

(if he's on our forum ,,, sorry for the bad critique)

The fact that he had a little trouble just makes us all the more amazing (to the muggles at least, if not to ourselves). I say bravo. I've not yet tried to ride and juggle downhill in a cramped space in front of 40 million people, but I can imagine its exciting.
