Morning News Unicycle Feature "Live" on KTLA

MuniAddict · 2009-03-31, 08:42 PM

For those who may not have seen it earlier today (3/31/09), I was interviewed LIVE on KTLA 5 Morning News! As you probably know, anything can happen on live TV so I'm glad it went off without a hitch..especially the part where I jumped over the reporter, Allie Mackay!

I was/am still recuperating from flu symptoms, but hey, the show must go on! Here are all the segments, uploaded to Youtube:

You absolutely blew them away Terry!!!! Shut down any attempt of them making a bit of sport of you. The Anchors applauded you... wow. That never happens. Allie asked some good ?'s ... pedals, price, style etc. And she laid on the pavement for you to gap her. Kudos to her and you.
Great plug for UDC.
You did us and the sport very proud today.
Now, go take a nap ya' GEEZER ...
Respect Mon,
Shug/Sean

Thanks Sean, yeah I was surprised that Allie was ready & willing to let me hop over her! That's trust!

Thanks yeah I was a bit worried that I might not land the drop off the metal trash container--or even be able to hop my way up to it--or the static stair gap, when I did it all live, since I wasn't feeling well. I got there a little early to practice and that probably helped a lot.

Excellent promotion of the sport... I need to figure out how I can get some news coverage haha, I've been in the papers a few times and on tv once for unicycling but I only played a minor role in the segments(little promotional blurbs about PJF)

Dane M · 2009-04-01, 06:58 AM

Awesome! Get the word out!! How many times have you been on the news now Terry?

btw I always find it funny that people think that you sit on your testicles when you ride a unicycle.

and it's too bad that they had to rush a bit, she had to cut you off a few times because she was asking so many questions with so little time haha.

MikaelHebert · 2009-04-01, 07:32 AM

this is why terry is sponsorised

phthoruth · 2009-04-01, 08:54 AM

Great job! You covered it all, from trials to muni to coker and made it all look easy.
And nice comment on wearing a helmet as you jumped over the reporter :-)

Panotaker · 2009-04-01, 11:17 AM

Great job Terry, you nailed it! You did a great job promoting our sport. They gave you lots of air time, you nailed all the tricks, and they didn't play any circus music. You should have let them use your camera so you could have captured it all in HD!

Awesome Terry!

When I heard you called unigeezer I thought it was a cool name, geezer in the uk is slang term for some fella you know who's a bit fly and a bit smooth down the boozer!

It sounds like geezer over there is a derogatory term? Is that right?

Great segments, liked the "of course it's safe I'm wearing a helmet!"

You get her phone number too dude?

Keep riding Tel!
