Paraglider & Unicycle

Almost forgot about this video from more than 10years ago. I remember, we filmed some sketchy (for my skill level) downhill riding, which didn’t make it into the video, because the guy who made the video ended up wanting something more chill. :slight_smile:

I don’t think I ever remotely considered combining unicycling and paragliding. But I knew this film-maker who told me, that he had this idea for years already. When he found out, that I had a unicycle, I had to to it. :slight_smile:

That’s sooo cool! Particularly the fact, that you even managed to (literally) land it so smooth. :exploding_head:
Just make sure that the seatpost clamp is properly tightened :wink:

EDIT: oh wait, the landing probably wasn’t so smooth after all. I think you cheated a bit in the video.

Haha, well spotted:
I think we did two landing attempts:
On the first one I failed, and on the second one the camera-man failed.

But with some head-wind and a flat surface the landing isn’t tricky at all.

How did you fix the unicycle to your body?

I was wearing an old climbing chest harness and I attached the uni-saddle with some rubber chords to that harness so that the saddle barely touched my butt while flying.
