Post your Vintage Uni Pics & Videos
By "vintage" I basically mean any uni pics and/or videos from the 80's and before. I found these pics from 1971.
And for those newer members who may not have seen it, here's footage from 1967, when I was 11, shot by my dad with his *wind up* 8mm film camera, which I now own. (pics below) Of course, back then you had to have the film developed and then you'd show it on a portable screen using an old time projector! This is the oldest footage I know of, (now 44 years old!) but if you have anything older, or near this old, please post! Last edited by MuniAddict; 2011-04-22 at 07:15 PM. |

1986 - Graduation day at Virginia Tech. No muni in those days, however, I did ride down the occasional small flight of stairs around campus, and I new how to grab the saddle and hop. I pretty much quit riding from then until I bought myself a 24 Nimbus after seeing a Kris Holm video on YouTube.
I learned to ride in the 70's, but I have no photographic proof.

I have some home movies that were digitized that show me riding in about 1964 or so. I don't know how to post them though. My earliest photo is the one I posted in another string dated Dec 1962, the Christmas I got my first uni.

Terry,
I saw one of those photos for sale on eBay. The cool thing about it is that the location is not far from the neighborhood where my mom grew up, and where her parents lived until they passed away (east side of Detroit). I bought three of those images:

I think this is a fantastic thread Terry.
Love seeing the good ol' Schwinns......lotsa bloody ankles from mine. Cool you had some riding partners. Here are my finds... This is me in 1975 ready for the Charlotte, NC Carrousel Parade on Thanksgiving of 1975. Man am a wee scary. This is Knoxville Civic Arena with Ringling circa 1981 Between shows at the Ringling train 1982

This may be the very first photo of a unicycle: It looks a little suspect to me. if the man is actually riding the unicycle, why is there a man standing directly in front of him? and why is the "rider" so close the the fence? And the boy (or girl?) behind the man, is leaning way too far back to be on a unicycle, and the pic appears to have a painted-on thingee on the back, like a penny farthing without the rear wheel. Pretty sure it's been photoshopped.

I think this was from an old Sears catalog. I had one very similar to this, if not the same. I had one very similar to this, if not the same. 20 spokes, flat top saddle and lolipop bearings, and one-piece cranks!  Last edited by MuniAddict; 2011-04-23 at 11:18 PM. |

These are not mine. Their are from the first uni club in Poland in Chrzelice. There is no date attached to the pictures, but the article that goes with them is about the beginnings in 70s.

I found this picture from the 1900s or so in an old book somebody had thrown out. This guy seems to be rocking a giant UW while playing banjo.

Unicycle movies 1964
My son helped me upload the unicycle shots of me when I was 13, in 1964.
