Re: Alternative one wheeled sports

Let me guess: this sport never leaves the country and doesn’t become as big
as the massive sport of mountain unicycling (at its 1996 level).

I wonder if downhill or mountian wheelbarrowing will make it big? Do they make an off-road wheelbarrow tire?

There was an advertisment on TV here not that long ago (Can’t remember what they were trying to sell) that had some wheelbarrow freestyle it.

I think there is potential for some pretty cool tricks on a wheelbarrow.

That wheelbarrow site insults my inteligence. plus, i am not a hick, farmer, or a redneck. which would also insult my inteligence.

heheheheh

OK

Ok ive heard tons of people say, " Unicycling is the most worthless form or transpotation." Now this wheelbarrow stuff comes around. That isnt even transportation. My opinion is that that is BY FAR worse in every way compared to unicycling. I mean come on, you have to push it! Doesnt that at all constitute complete stupidity? How many people have seen a wheelbarrow freestyler at a parade? Only in the UK, thats where it needs to stay!
my two cents worth

Re: OK

My vote for the most worthless form of transportation goes to the paddle boat, the kind you’d find in a small campground lake.

Re: OK

What if you put someone in the barrow while your pushing it though… or even better a cat or monkey. Now that would be quality entertainment way better than current freestyle unicycling.

A couple of weeks ago I saw on a NBC sports program, guys
on unicycles pushing and bouncing wheelbarrows. One guy
got it to bouncing so high he pushed it over a fence and then
went over it on his unicycle after it. I don’t know what program
it was, I was surfing the channels and came across it.

The New Zealand advert was for beer (Export Gold, mate). It was made
with the help of the two guys behind wheelbarrowfreestyle.com.

Yes, I reckon wheelwalking a barrow would be really cool.

Tommy Miller of the Unicycle Factory once made a giraffe unicycle out
of a wheelbarrow. Twas apparently quite a challenge to ride.

You could stand in it, tip it up, and bunny hop.
Sadly you’d still need a backpack to carry stuff
rather putting it in the barrow.

To mis-quote Homer “Wheelbarrows: Is there
anything they can’t do?”.

Pelease dont let this leave the UK. If it gets to america I may have to kill someone.
