anyone else notice this Unicyclist in this ad recently

Check out about 10-15 seconds in on the ad … you can’t see the unicycle, but you can tell he is riding … you can also see his reflection in the glass after he passes by the camera.

I happen to play the ukulele and juggle as well as unicycling (never at the same time though), so this ad had me googling this to see it again. I’d like to know who it is. Does anyone know?

what about juggling ukulleles

I thought it was odd that the unicycle was cropped out of the picture.
Why have a guy riding a unicycle without showing the unicycle?

I, too, wondered if he might be a forum guy.

It is cheaper to hire someone who can juggle than it is to hire someone who can juggle and ride a unicycle. I don’t think they showed the unicycle because he isn’t on one. I think he is on a platform or chair being pushed.

I take that back. You can see the seat.

I froze it as he rode past the windows and you can see the unicycle reflected in the door of the shop. I also thought it was a guy on a prop when I saw it on TV. That Dude has some skills.

In order to get the unicycle in the shot the cameraman would have had to have taken threemendous steps backwards.

WTG Ben, that’s keepin up with theme of the ad!

I was arguing with my wife that he didn’t appear to be on a unicycle because he was riding absolutely smoothly. Usually when you watch someone riding while juggling, going slowly in a relatively crowded space, you will see some jerkiness to his progress. That guy looks to be dead solid, and he definitely appears to be on a unicycle (based on the reflection). He’s good, whoever he is.

Yes, first thing I thought to. So one of the first -if not the first- time I disagree with her. It looks more like my greenscreen (chroma keying) rollerbar that I used for my to-be-relaunched / new website.
