The Troxelator

Here it is. You've all been waiting for it. Here is my 1st unicycle vid! I don't normally ride this thing, the Troxelator (forum thread), but a few on the forum wanted to see it in action.

You may laugh at my amateur video-making skills, but I won't mind. I had fun!

unusual unicycle. Its not too high. Is that why theyre called penguins?
Looks like it would be free mountable with a little practice.
The only time I've heard the term penguin is one that Bruce has, which I put in this video from 0:24 to 0:53
Bruce says for high speed dismounts, he flies thru the air a little more than a coker, due to the height, and is thinking he should wear a cape for effect.

I believe it's the gearing(higher than 1:1) as well as the shortness that gives these unicycles their name.

Maybe, but this thing has a pretty sloppy sprocket. Too much play.

Very cool. I thought you rode it well and I enjoyed watching both vids. The Troxelator in motion, sweet! Thanks for taking the time to make it.
