what is your proudest unicycle moment or achievment? what was one thing, place, whatever that you hold above all else?
Best moment
My best to date was riding through Tiger Leaping Gorge while on the Yunnanuni tour this year 
Descending the 14,433’ Mt. Elbert via the East Ridge Trail two summers ago. Dying to do another 14er descent! Perhaps next summer?
I was there… Great moments!

these make everything I’ve done seem sad:o
They just ran a piece on the local news where some guy in Germany set a record for riding a unicycle on top of lined up beer bottles. They showed him - he just carefully rode across a line of upright bottles. I think they said he went 30’.
Which one of you was that?
Other than the day I rediscovered unicycling…after 40 years…the “greatest moment” would probably be my record climb at the “Fargo Street Hill Climb Challenge” earlier this year. Its unrelenting and massive 33% grade makes it one of the steepest residential streets in the US. I climbed it once about two weeks before the event, (and thought I was going to die!:o) and then twice on the day of the event.
The organizers have been hosting the annual event since the late 70’s, and told me that only a scant few others have tried climbing it on a uni, “but none got very far”. And while others will likely come along and successfully climb it on a uni, It’s a good feeling to know that I was the first to do it, especially at age 55.
i feel my greatest accomplishment is how good i’ve become at railriding. i can thank tom pec for that, :p. nearly 3 years ago i watched his video spirit like 10 times in a row…and i was like…i wanna ride rails like that 
I think it was Lutz Eichholz…

I can’t say it was the best, but surely one of the best. It was just crazy when I got it!
It was lutz indeed, and his record on top of the beer bottles was 7.99 meters.
By the way, he broke his own record few days ago at the 2nd Israeli Unicycle Convention, at Kibutz Dalia. I think it was about 9 meters.
NAUCC '09 is my best unicycle memory.
My best moment was either my first 1080 unispin, ninthside, or 1080side. I was so ecstatic every time hahaha.
Watching Christian Hoverath ride the uni.5 at breakneck speed at the 2002 Unicon.
My best moment was my 7 spin hands down, you can see my reaction at 2:30 xD

Lot’s of things stand out
- hosting unicon in my hometown
- 24hr and 1hr world records
- Unicycle tours- riding in exotic locations with my friends from around the world
- Learning how to ride a uni 10yrs ago
If I had to hold one above all else, probably winning The UNICON 13 Marathon, because it happened 6 months after I shattered my leg. I still wasn’t walking properly when Unicon started, and almost gave up unicycling. I’m glad I didn’t.
Outclimbing a mountain biker for the first time. I was grinning ear to ear
Watching my teenage son complete a climb I had not been able to do. Yeah, that’s also the day I saw my youth go down in flames 
Being one of the first two people to unicycle the Copper Harbor Fat Tire Festival!!!
Today: riding a mile.
Well, OK, it was almost a mile. And I did fall off a couple of times - but I free mounted back on every single time, and in my book, a free mount gives me one credit for every UPD.
Been doing this nearly every day for 90 days or so now, when I started I had no idea how proud I’d be having accomplished so little. But I am, and my neighbors are starting to cheer me on as I ride by!
