Does anyone know of a good picture I could direct him to?

The IHPVA welcomes regular unicycles too, unless they are motorized.

In the USAs On One Wheel, in 1991 or 1992 I believe, there is a full-page
picture of Swedish performer Reino doing this. It’s on the inside IUF
cover. Reino rode an ultimate wheel with his hands, on a slackrope! This
was in the early 1960’s. I consider it one of the hardest unicycling feats
ever accomplished. A picture of Reino doing this was also featured on a
Swedish postage stamp.

Thanks John. I’ve a feeling I may have seen the picture, dunno
where though.
Has anybody got a copy they could scan and either e-mail to me or
put on WWW?
