The second post said, if you have another name, just to post it.

yeah, but still. we should be able to see, visually, how many people have "other" favorites.

I went ahead and voted for Dan (since hot japanese freestyle chicks aren't an option), simply because his stuff in Defect is some of the coolest street/flatland stuff I've seen.

No one has voted for me and I'm a pro since I've been paid for unicycle performance. Once a little girl offered me 8 cents to do a trick in our driveway. I performed the skill then took her money.

ntappin · 2006-08-20, 03:41 AM

Kevin Mcmullin, that guys cool. Although Shaun and Xaviers manual style is really amazing. If there was a middle man between the three he would be my man, but Kevin is still number one right now!

I wonder what Kris would would be thinking if he is/was reading this

doesn't kris also work as a geologist or something? i don't think he makes as much money as we think he does selling his unis.

No. If truth be told, I told her that I would put the 8 cents in the club fund to go towards buying a unicycle for somebody someday.

KH.

of course!

I don't think any of the guys on the poll ride unicycles for a living. What is your criteria for "pro?" Until I hear back, my vote is for Peter Rosendahl: http://www.peter-rosendahl.com/en/index.html

Also I know Sem & Teresa are awfully good, though they're not doing shows for a living at the moment:
www.semcycle.com

From the guys on your list, Kris Holm is my #1, though professionally, he's a geologist, or geology professor.

When I first read this thread, I thought: Aren't we all pro unicycling? Why would anyone who is anti unicycling come to this site?

But if you want to know who my favorite anti-unicyclist is, it's the guy at the grocery store, who doesn't want me practicing in his parking lot, simply because he's anti-unicyclist. He lets people WALK thru his lot, and even DRIVE CARS!!! What could be more dangerous than that??!

But unicycling? NOOOoo! What's with that?

He's my favorite because he's also got good produce.

forrestunifreak · 2006-08-20, 07:14 PM

Most people don't mean people that get paid when they say pro.

And there are more that you could have put in the poll-at least the top people in Defect. But, that's how polls always are.
