I looked at Corbis to see if I cold find any more info on that Muni Cell phone background, they have quite a few cool unicycling images.
But my questions is how long until someone, perhaps Julien Monney is able to do this:
forever. it cant be done. go ahead quote me and say it can- i know it cant.
I’ve done that before but without a tie. That would be impossible with a tie on.
I can do it, but not if the sky’s cloudy. That guy has some serious skill!
The hardest trick I have ever seen is a toss up between Julian’s stand on seat coasting and a trick similar to the picture above. A young Chinese acrobat was Unicycling upside down, with their legs in the air on a giraffe unicycle (with their hands pedalling). Oh, and they were riding on a slack rope

Is there a picture or even video anywhere?
Klaas Bil - Newsgroup Addict

Go see the Great Chinese Circus!
You guys can’t do that? 
That frame looks pretty cool
Those two pics on that site, looks as though there may not actually be a frame on the wheel though…
Correct. He’s riding an ultimate wheel in a way no one else can.
I think riding an ultimate wheel inverted should be quite a bit harder than a giraffe, assuming the giraffe gives you shoulder support. If not, the giraffe gets the props. But I assume it does, or there’s no way to “lever” the thing; to keep your body aligned in relation to the frame. This is not an issue with an ultimate.
Mel Hall used to ride an ultimate wheel inverted also, though I never heard of him doing it on a slack wire. He supposedly spent a long time, and broke a lot of bones, trying to learn the dive from a regular unicycle to the inverted riding of his UW.
