I’m very happy to announce the forthcoming release of my book, The Essential Guide to Mountain and Trial Unicycling. Many years in the making, this book is an effort to give back to the sport by writing down what I know about mountain and trials unicycling from my years of riding.
With stories, 250+ colour photos of riding all over the world, and a Forward by the well-known climber/author John Long, it’s also a visual showcase of muni and trials as riders know it. It shares the full spectrum of our sport to a wide audience that hopefully will extend far beyond the core community of unicycle riders. Beyond the instructional component, if you’ve ever wished you had a way to explain to people what muni and trials are all about, this is it.
The book will be available at unicycle shops worldwide by late April.

I’d like to spread the news about this book as far and wide as possible, to the unicycling community and beyond. If you have friends, belong to riding clubs, or have media contacts that might want to know about it, I’d appreciate any help in getting the word out. Thanks!
Cool Kris, congrats and I look forward to it. It’s great that John Long is doing the forward too - I mostly learned How to Rock Climb from his books of that title!
Can’t wait to read it! All “core” unicyclists owe it to Kris to harness the power of their social media circles to get the word out about this book. Retweet (khunicycles) the book announcement and Like it on Facebook. Let’s get this guy on the tonight show!
This should be a “sticky” thread, if the mods have the power. Having a published book about our sport is a big step forward in legitimizing it. Even as a broke college kid, I consider this book to be a great investment. Great job, Kris!
Thanks for the kind words. In any case, hopefully the thread is “sticky” in that it lives on as a discussion thread on riding techniques I write about in the book, once the book is out.
