Remember 2 years ago they recruited people in this N.G. to ride in a
feature film? Well its coming out Feb 1. Its called SLACKERS and it has a
small scene where about 10 unicyclist (most from harvey mudd uni club)
rode. Im on my coker, the others are on 24 and 26 inch wheels. Cant wait
for it to come out.!!!

I love catching movies with kinda hidden significant value to me. Like in Not Another Teen Movie there is a song played by No Motiv (awesome emo band) and Cruel Intentions had Counting Crows- Colorblind, and more recently Orange County had Jimmy Eat World (another emo band). I know I’m going to flip out when I see the Unis in this movie.
i was watching Seaseme Street today with my 3 year old son (thats right uni-man-dan,my 3 year old)anyway elmo was on a uni and better yet they were showing these old clips of kids in Ney York on unicycles
Also, Sponge-Bob Squarepants rides a giraffe with a paddle wheel on
it. He throws it in a dumpster when he goes to get his drivers liscense,
but Gary brings it back for him at the end. I’ve only seen him ride
it on the one show, but he was very good at it. Cheers Joe

Joe, I’m a big fan of Spongebob Squarepants, just because of all the slapstick humor. I have seen him ride his underwater paddle giraffe on an episode where he finally gets his drivers liscence and then the driving instructor steals his boat/car. he catches up on by rididng his uni. Bob is one dude of a sponge.
I watch seinfeld everyday (repeats on fox), and thier are 2 episodes with unicycling in them.
The first that i saw was in the bazaro episode, when there is a guy who is just like jerry and on his wall instead of a bike, like jerry, he has a uni.
The other, is a episode when jerry goes to the circus, thier are a couple unicyclist that ride in front of him when he is talking to his girl freind (a olympic gymnist who won the silver medal).
Well that aboute takes care of my uni sighting
JoeyI ran across an unlabeled VHS tape the other day, popped it in to see what
was on it. I don’t know if it was mentioned in this group at the time.
But, Tina Wesson, the million dollar winner from Survivor Australia is
riding a unicycle in the last, “What have they been doing since back from
the game” episode. They just show them for a second, but it appeared that
she and her husband were riding.
Also, The same day on one of the movie channels, there was an older
movie called “Happy Together” with Patrick Dempsey and Helen Slater,
where he rides a uni quite a bit. Nothing fancy, but he rides in a quite
a few shots.
How many other celebrities ride unicycle out there?
Has anyone seen this movie yet? Any comments,reviews,etc.?

i haven’t seen it yet, but i saw some ad’s with the unicycles in it.
Dang it! Now I am going to have to go see the movie and from the commercials it looks pretty dumb (besides the unis that is.)
I saw the movie tonight. It was pretty damn good, and that girl is hot! I ate up the unicycle scene(s)… that movies owns!
how much time do the unicycles get in the film?
is it the main actors that ride or are they just background?
There is a riding scene in the movie that lasts a minute or so? The dork of the movie Ethan can be seen riding his, and when it shows shots of his room you can see his Uni hanging on the wall (Green Miyata)
unfortunately poor reviews and crude jokes in this one
