Monster Unicycle
Found a picture of this Uni thing in a juggling site thread.

To be an ass, wrong forum. On the other hand I've seen a similar pic, with the guy next to a racecar. Probably no side to side balance issues.

That monster wheel unicycle reminds me of this other type of transportation. Even though it's not a unicycle and is off-topic. I think it's hilarious to figure out how you would ride it.

Yeah its a pretty old pic. Its cool though. I would love to try one of those, just for the hell of it. I wonder what stand up wheel walking would be like on it. I think it might be posted on John's website as well.

I believe that's a Puerto Rican rider from either one of their club meetings or from a UNICON years ago.

I think the back and forth balance on that would be very had due to the mass of the wheel. I think idling it would be very hard.
