Though you guys might want to check out some pretty good wheel skills. I love the single, front wheel backward ride & the outtakes at the end.
Enjoy.

Yeah I saw this before. Good stuff. I emailed it to my mother because she is a cycling journalist haha
Poor roadie’s probably never been so scared in its life Awesome vid!
Makes me go back to the thought of, why don’t road (ie. 36er) Uni’s have tyres that thin?
I’m no 36er expert, but I think it has to do with flex. The wheel is so large that it’s too flexible. To get a thin tire like that, we would probably need a very specially designed 36er rim. Which in the end, may or may not reduce weight. I think the way we turn on unicycles also has a negative effect with a small tire like that, possibly ripping it off the rim. With less tire surface, sloped roads could be really hard to ride on too. It may be hard to ride a uni with a tire that thin, wouldn’t absorb road debris very well.
There have been threads on it. But it’s been a while since I read them.
There is a non unicycling section of this forum you know…
