So, I know someone that’s pretty big and they want to lose weight. I know that unicycling is a great way to do it, but, how heavy is too heavy?
Not to ruin the atmosphere in your thread so quickly, but… too heavy for what?
It depends on their agility and motivation. Some large people can move pretty well. Learning to unicycle will burn a ton of calories. As long as he/she is careful with proper portion control they can drop inches pretty fast if that is his or her goal. They should do some video for before, during, and after. That could be impressive.
This person you know, get them to walk along a railroad track. If the rail deflects noticeably as they walk along it they’re probably too fat. That’s at least an upper limit to work from. I’d hate to spoil the spirit of this thread by being vague.
Too heavy is when you feel uncomfortable about it. For me that was 90kg. I dropped to 75, which is a point at which I feel very comfortable about the way I look in the mirror. Now I’m back to 80, most of it should be gained muscle weight, but not all of it. So I’ll go down to 78 again.
Moderating your weight is not really difficult. It’s just a question of discipline. Your food and drink is energy income. If you want to loose weight you have to use up more energy or reduce the income.
If you’re serious do both.
He wants a precise, scientific answer, which is 768.0 pounds.
A good, tough trials uni would probably take the weight - though care should be exercised not to inadvertently administer it internally. The potential benefits of a unicycle suppository are, as yet, unknown.
Chuck’s a big guy, but he seems to be doing ok…
Into the Blue!.. Made my morning!
I hate the music industry (starts tor). It’s not like I even want to hear the music (listening to Brain Drill right now).
Whoa, he weighs 430 lbs? Unicycles must be a lot stronger than I thought. Or maybe just experienced… Stupid cheap unicycle.
This will be an awesome way for him to lose weight. It’s a great way for anyone to lose weight, actually. Not only will you lose weight, you’ll also get some ABS riding a unicycle… 
Hi Into The Blue,
Thanks for the video. That is fantastic. He certainly does seem to be enjoying himself. Good luck to him and any one else learning to ride a Uni…thin, heavy, young, old or whatever.
Oh wow. That guy weighs more than my friend. Thanks a lot Into the blue. And everyone else… I guess… Hahah.
That’s a marvellous rink.
Why isn’t it filled with enthusiastic UniHoki players?!?
When posting on USA - dominated sites, please convert to pounds. 
This chart will answer your question:
Better get used to the MKSA system. The imperial system kills astronauts. No, this is not supposed to be funny.
Haha. 
Your suggestion makes no sense. Why would someone who lives in the US, “get used to” a measurement system which their nation does not use?
Furthermore, why would a Continental European post on a US-based forum and expect the primarily American members to immediately adopt and understand his alien measurement system?
For unicycling of course! 
Since this is an international site, labeling the units used is good enough. While mountains may like the US system since the numbers are larger than in the metric system for height, you can use whatever metric you want.
For Billy, 90 kg is a little bit more than 6 slugs. You have those on your mountain, right?
I can’t travel the world, but I can talk to people in South Africa, Canada, New Zealand, and all around the world every day. I thoroughly enjoy the cultural diversity that this international community brings to my computer screen. The spectrum of diversity is somewhat narrow (you have to be rich enough to own a computer with an Internet connection and own a unicycle and have the health and have the luxury of time and energy to devote to learning to unicycle), but I enjoy it nonetheless. Sometimes the difference manifests as something as trivial as a unit of measure. This site has done its part in helping me become more culturally aware. While I would find it silly to give an alternate spelling of tire (tyre), I am much more likely to label a “dollar” amount as USD or to be clear when I say pavement that I mean the road (tarmac), not the sidewalk (pavement). And I am much less likely to make arrogant, USA-centric assumptions (through ignorance and apathy more than actual arrogance). And converting between units of measure is no longer an inconvenience, it’s par for the course.
Gilby, do you have geographical statistics? Is this actually a USA-dominated site? I hope it isn’t.
