Well…if no one there is going to brag about me, i suppose i will… ok.
this saturday, at the Atlanta bike demo/uni meeting; i, chance redfern was
playing with a 24" ultimate wheel…well to make a long story short…
in UNDER 2 hours i was not only able to ride it BUT i could also rolling mount
it, kick-up mount it, suicide mount it, and i once did a 180 suicide
mount!!!..well then…I think it goes without saying that I and those
around me were; to say the least…impressed …it was AWESOME!! i even tried to
get John (Drummond) to give it to me…but alas, no cigar…I was also
wondering if this is a record of any sort?..John (Foss) ? do you know…?
does anyone?..Well any way, i just remembered that i also did some (very few)
hops on it AND i did some standstills(not idle) for about 10 sec…well
anyways…john(drummond) got a pic of me riding…(I’d like that pic if you
read this john…)…and he said i could be the “posterchild” for the
ultimate wheel page…(yeah!)I just thought i’d post my
accomplishment/query… later, Chance

Sounds like quite an achievement but it would be hard to find a category for
this record if it were one. At my club last year an experienced unicyclist
(still quite young) managed to ride an UW in 5 to 10 minutes. But he did not
persevere into mounts etc.
Is there any chance that the pic of Chance-on-UW gets posted/put on www
anywhere? (So that we have a chance to see who this wonder is.)

Re: Ultimate wheel!!!(possible record???)
har, har…( i thought the name jokes where over…)well im also quite
young, 13 infact, and i also remembered that i was ridingd down the curb,
too!and hop a few times. The funny thing is, i’m not all that great of a
rider… I mean i’m MAYBE a level 3, and i cant even ride seat-out (in
front,back, side) that well at all… so…whatever…i also rode a coker
that same day for the first time…I WANT THEM BOTH!!! lol…well, thanks for
your comments, and i’d be glad to hear more…hint hint The UW kid, Chance

Ah Chance, it’s people like you that make us slow learners quite jealous! Took
me about 6 months to get idling down and I still can’t do it with both feet…
Sounds great though! That sounds like an incredible accomplishment!

Re: Ultimate wheel!!!(possible record???)
Kids these days! Most of us seasoned unicyclists attending the
bicycle/unicycle stunt show on Saturday wanted to show off a bit. Then this
young upstart upstages us all. Chance Redfern hadn’t been on a UW before, and in
no time at all had nearly mastered it. The rolling mount was most impressive.
Here’s a link to Chance on the UW (notice the ramps behind him), and a couple of
local bicycle greats (these guys were flying about 20-25 feet through the air on
20-inch BMX bikes. They were unable to repeat these feats on the Coker
Mini-Monster.)
