MUni in Sports Illustrated

Hi all,

If anyones interested, there’s a feature on me in the current issue of
Sports Illustrated Adventure. Unlike the regular SI, unfortunately this
isn’t on newstands, but appparently over a million people subscribe to it.
The text part of the article is also at the SI website, at
<http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/features/siadventure/10/unicycle/>.

Cheers,

Kris.

It was on a gravel cliff with a soft sandy gravelly landing, about 35
degrees. The start was about a 45 degree incline to about a 12 foot gravel
cliff. I got on the uni and rode off the cliff. We measured it with a tape
measure and it came out at about 18 feet from takeoff to landing but it
didn’t feel that big- I think about 15 vertical. I tried it about 4 times
and rode out of it once. The falls were fine- nice and soft into the sand.
This was caught on 16mm film and also with still photos but I never saw
any of the photos.

-Kris,

For some reason I’m usually the last to hear about these things :).

-The tire is a Dyno Fireball 24x3" tire. The uni in the picture is my 24"
trials uni, and this tire is a good choice for doing urban riding and
trials on a 24" uni. Unfortunately they are no longer available, though.

Hi Kris,

When are you going to Nepal and will you be filming?

I’m going to be in Kathmandu during May/June/July’ish and for some Muni touring.

If the Dyno Fireball tire is no longer available, what is a close second? My frame takes a 24" 2.6 Gazz. Don Tai, where are you?

Thanks,

Keep it up.

Don Tai is in Toronto, Canada. His e-mail suggests he is in the U.K., but
he’s not. He is also the webmaster for the Toronto Unicyclists. Check out
the site at: http://torontounicyclists.tripod.com

Hope that helps, Darren

Kris,

Any word on when Monster.com will air the ad you filmed last year. Will it
be a Super Bowl ad? I’m watching the Sugar Bowl right now which is
partially sponsored by Monster.com and I remembered the ad that you made.

All the best,

John Hooten
