Syko Productions presents Shaun Johanneson
Shaun Johanneson has been selected as the first member of Syko Productions sponsored team, Team Syko. Shaun brings a diverse mix of skill, creativity, and positive attitude that has helped mold him into one of the sports top riders. Along with Bedford Unicycles, Team Syko will help Shaun with equipment and promotion.
Here's a short video of Shaun sessioning from Spring/Summer 2005: http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery2/m...dd51bdbb7fad03 *Note - This is not filmed by Syko Productions and yes thats a triple flip at the end! Hometown: Mandan, North Dakota Age: 17 years old About his riding: Shaun has pioneered combo/tech grinds and flip tricks. He is the first person to land a double flip, triple flip, trey flip (360 unispin crankflip), varial flip and inward flip (180 unispin with reverse body varial crankflip). He rides street with a little bit of freestyle and flatland. In October 2005, Shaun won the “What do you Freestyle?” contest put on by Target/Levis. The contest asked for participants to submit 1 clip of them doing something unique, creative and entertaining. Most submissions included bike and skateboard tricks, while Shaun wowed the judges with an 11 stair pedal grind. For his efforts will receive an all expenses paid trip to Aspen, Colorado for the winter X-games. When did you start unicycling and why: March 5th 2001, Saw Kris Holm on Ripley's Believe it or Not and wanted to learn, got a unicycle (24" torker) for my birthday early. Got serious winter of 2003-2004 after watching the trailer for U2. Why do you like to ride: It's awesome, to do a sport that is in the minority. I like to ride for advancement as well. The feeling of achievement is unmatched. Other Interests: Weight Lifting (last time I talked to Shaun he was working on his ass), Dancing Shaun’s words of wisdom: Don’t get discouraged, practice is all it takes. Ride hard, but have fun.

Thats awesome. I have been waiting for this. Now I don't have to keep it a secret. Is no one else amazed by the triple crankflip at the end? Anyway congratulations Shaun and keep riding hard.

What's the deal with X-Games? Does he just get to go watch? Shaun fully deserves the sponsorship and whatever else comes his way, most improved rider over the last year and a bit, and from the looks of that video, possibly now the best rider in the world. I wonder what he's gonna do next?

Fantastic video clip Dan. Shaun is a phenomenal rider. It's very generous of you to sponsor a rider and it's a very positive reflection on the sport and community.

Incredible.
Anyone remember this post? http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35429 One year later he has improved by orders of magnitude and has begun to do exactly what he claimed was possible. Congratulations, Shaun. You earned it. |
