This is excellent article about Sem’s record breaking ride on a 35m
(115 foot) unicycle performed on Thursday, January 30, 2004.

This is a “must read” article for all unicyclists and anyone remotely
interested in unicycling!

Congratulations Sem and everyone that supported the ride!

Sincerely,

It’s a very nice article. I just find it interesting they didn’t have a picture of the cycle in it.

Ken-

Nice article. Thanks for providing the link.

Where were the references to the circus, or to clowns? Why didn’t he call it a bike? There was something wrong with that reporter.

Are these men available to lift me down from the lip of a tall drop-off?

That was an intersting article, very detailed.

What length of cranks? Splined or tapered? We must be told.:wink:

Wow! This bloke is amazing. A brief ride on a 7 footer was enough for me.

Sem’s 35m high ride now official Guinness record!

Guinness has just made Sem’s 35m high and 28 foot long ride an
official Guinness record! Congratulations Sem!

Sem’s ride will probably be listed in the 2005 book of records.

Congratulations to Sem’s entire support team as well!

Please respond with your comments to this great news.

been waiting for this!!
congratulations indeed
is there a link available to an official announcement of sorts?

hey guys, im new, but i found this video of it on semcycle.com

check it out

The tallest uni (and only giraffe) I’ve ever ridden was 10 foot tall.

I had to climb on top of a van to mount.

The hardest part … having the guts to dismount …
(my feet hit the asphalt so hard … ouch)

after thinking for awhile …

I think it was actually closer to 12 foot :confused:

thats so sweeet! too bad the video isnt bigger :frowning: and i thought the 10ft i rode was bad…
