Actually I think it's Nathan and Beau Hoover.

Yes, we have shocks, but those are usually on the faces of the people we pass...

Yup, although I think the photo might be by Ken.

GizmoDuck · 2006-06-21, 05:31 AM

It made all that stalking of Nathan and Beau worthwhile.

In addition to being one the best unicycle photos of all time and father/son photos of all time, it's also unique for another reason: it may be the last photo of Nathan and Beau where Beau isn't in front.

I have had that picture for my desktop for months now, its my favorite one ever!

eh? But Beau is in front!

I hope I can retrieve the twin photo (which I actually like better), as I took a whole sequence of shots as they went past. Hopefully it's still on Bronsons computer somewhere.

Bad eyes...that's what happens when you get old. You start relying on your kid to ride in front and identify any obstacles in the road. Just ask Nathan...

A bit of publicity can't hurt!!!
In the comments below some people said they wanted to try it, but like most people who say that i doubt they will.

It says: "Though you may not see extreme unicycling televised this summer...", but isn't that what was happening? I thought there was some show called Champions blah blah somethingorother that was showcasing extreme unicycling?
