Well I knew Rodney Mullen could unicycle as apparently my friend saw a picture of him with a shirt that said soandso’s skater of the year and he was on top of a uni.
But I’m still surprised he can ride one, even though he invented the ollie and kickflip and others (i’m pretty sure, when he was like 14 or something aswell) it takes a very intelligent person to unicycle 
Ollie invented by Ollie
Mullen didn’t invent the ollie, and i’m pretty sure that he didn’t invent the kickflip either. The ollie was invented by Alan Ollie, no surprise.
Since it’s a fantasy list, I’ll name some people who would be highly unlikely to make it otherwise. In no order:
Bill Jenack (deceased) - Founder of the Unicycling Society of America, and in my words, father of modern unicycling.
Mel Hall (deceased) - Possibly the greatest unicycle performer of all time. Freemount to inverted (hand pedaling) ride of a nine-footer.
Bernard Crandall (deceased) - Father of unicycle great Floyd Crandall, USA founding member, and host of 1973 and 1975 USA National conventions.
Dr. Claude Shannon (deceased) - Computer fans should look him up if the name doesn’t ring a bell. Also a USA founding member. I’m sure he would enjoy a convention containing the people on my list.
Ted Wade, Michelle Cline, Marc LaSalle, Clarice Orgell, Steve Gordon and Floyd Beattie (all deceased) - They should all still be alive too. Sorry, was that six people I’m counting as one? 10 isn’t enough for a good convention.
Swedish performer Reino - Don’t know if he’s alive or not. Did the hardest unicycle trick I’ve ever heard of, inverted ultimate wheel (with his hands) on a slackrope.
Randy Barnes - An inspiration to me at the 1980 USA convention, my first. Never made it to another one.
Sebastian Merrill Neuhausen (way deceased) - Professional performer 100 years ago; probably one of the pioneers of what could be done with a unicycle.
Jack Wiley - He wrote the book, but has never been to a USA or IUF convention. He deserves a free ride to one.
Kazuhiro Shimoyona (sp?) - My wife’s second favorite unicyclist to watch. She’s biased 
Lucky for us we will be seeing him in late July!
I never got to meet Bill Jenack, Mel Hall, Bernie Crandall, Reino, Steve Gordon, Sebastian or Jack Wiley. Even though Jack Wiley lives pretty close…
My sources say “Make time…”.
Mullen invented the flatland ollie. The ollie was invented by Allan “ollie” Gelfind. Tony Hawk invented the Kickflip.

Oh good! Glad to be invited and I’ll bring the squirt guns and balloons for the water games. And all those bouncy balls! I love that game.
Boy, I can’t imagine where I’d start with the invitation list, but it would have to include just about everyone I’ve met from the U.S., Canada, UK, Germany, and so on.
Plus, it wouldn’t be a convention without Alan Tepper & Panther Pride, and the Ohio & Michigan folks.
We’d have to get the Texans there, especially John Payne and Duane Campbell.
The people from New York would have to show up.
My Pennsylvania friends would be obligated to come.
Those crazy Gruss guys, for sure.
Harper, if he promises to behave for a change, and if he brings some geared Cokers and root beer for all.
Definitely Sarah, Paul, Roger, Rocket, and so on.
Definitely Amy, John, and crew. And that wonderful guy from Georgia who had to babysit me on the endless 10K in Utah last summer.
The groups from Illinois, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, Tennessee.
We’d have to get Max, Shirley, and Gus to come.
Everyone named “Carol.”
Kelsey.
Everyone from Japan.
Is that 10 yet? I can think of a bunch more.
How about if we all meet in Ohio next July 26?
I would invite a smattering of fun people from the forums (and from around the world)…
and a person who defies categorization…
Note: This won’t be the only convention in the world, so I can make it the way I like it. It would be fun. Other conventions can meet Raphael’s definition. In fact, my convention is held monthly.

He adopted using the name of Brian MacKenzie when you didn’t look. (In
these forums that is, but he uses that name also IRL I think.)

Mine would be the same, accept I’d sub Mike Clark for Alex Toms, just because I don’t really know his style or have ever seen him with the exception of U2.

Re: Re: It you could invite 10 uni guy to a convention?
I’m sorry, Klaas. I was joking! Recently somebody in JC asked where Sofa was, and now it’s sort of a running joke that pops up here and there. Although our reasons were different, he was the one who inspired me (gave me the idea?) to change my forum name.
If you are keeping statistics 
on how many people are confused because of his name change, then don’t include me. But I was once confused about where he lived. I didn’t realize he hailed from the “other” London. I think that confused more than a few people.
Re: Re: Re: It you could invite 10 uni guy to a convention?
You wouldn’t believe how many people from UK email me about meeting for a ride after coming across my website. I figured I’d add in the words Ontario, Canada, and this has lowered that email frequency…somewhat.
I always tell them I’ll meet them at the Thames river
I actually had a conversation with David Stone, saying he’s been to London, so we were chatting away, he kept naming streets that I knew, he mentioned London’s theatre disctrict (I pictured downtown where there are some theatres, so this must be what he’s talking about) when Mrs Sofa poked her head in and said, ‘We’re from Ontario’
‘Ahhhhhhhhhhhh’ - me and him
Youhouuuuuuuuuu… a french guy in the list… !!
It’s new !
if i could invite ten unicyclists i’d invite a bunch of the people on this forum instead of just pro’s. that and a couple of my friends that know how to uni. i think it would be way more fun, like catboy sounds pretty cool, same with james potter and brian makenzie, i would rather meet them then kris holm. kris holm is probably a great guy but still.
when is this uni-convention? and can I come?
Caffroy?
the pic of Rodney Mullen was on a ballot for SOTY 2002 in transworld skateboarding. after hours of cursing google, i have given up.
