You should get the video Rough Terrain Unicycling from the Unicycling Society of
America. It costs $16, which includes postage. This tape is good even if you
don’t get as serious as George Peck, the author does. He tells what to use to
make a rough terrain unicycle, and he explains some techniques. You get to see
him ride on a rocky beach, go over boulders, and hop up and over a picnic table.
I’ve used the tape as inspiration to get better at riding over everyday features
like curbs and rough lawn.
For more information, the address for the USA is: Unicycling Society of America
PO Box 40534 Redford, MI 48240
It costs $15 a year to belong, and it is well worth it.

Yes. Here’s the list from the FAQ:

+ Videos From the Unicycling Society of America o I.U.F. Achievement
Skill Levels. This is the easiest way for most people to see what
the 10 skill levels look like. It was filmed at a past National
Unicycle Meet and has a different person do each skill level, and
then give some hints. o Rough Terrain Unicycling by George Peck o
Unicycle by Cory Riback
Unicycling Society of America, P.O. Box 40534, Redford, MI 48240.
If you live in the UK be careful when ordering Video's from the
states (or anywhere abroad), as the NTSC video system used there is
not compatible with your UK PAL video. If you do order specify a PAL
version of the tape, which ther may or may not be able to provide !
A good video specialist could convert an NTSC video to PAL format,
but this is going to cost you !
