Has anyone seen these before? I thought they looked pretty cool…!
They’re made of carbon fiber and have a little wheel at the back for stability. Apparently the manufacturers are still working out how the braking system will work!
More info and videos at the link above.
(I’m in no way affiliated with these things or the site linked, I just thought people here would appreciate them!)
I’m a skier myself, and I think the movements look pretty similar. I don’t know if they’d be any better / worse than plain ol’ skates though. I imagine they won’t be cheap when they finally hit mass production!
These are coasting so not necessarily faster. A larger uni is faster because the wheel goes farther on one revolution of the pedals. Longer distance in same unit of time equals faster.
Never thought I’d see a clip of “Last Of The Summer Wine” on a unicycling forum. Sadly enough I used to watch that with my Granny as a young lad - brings back memories!
