When you get right down to it, probably 99.9% of all muni rides are from the car back to the car too. The distance in between matters about as much as you believe it matters. 
Does he look as young to everyone else as he looks to me? That’s impressive! And those look like they might be welded tubular “plates” like these.
He does seem to be getting along very well, a lot better than any BC wheel rider I’ve seen for sure.
Funny, I started to watch that one a few weeks ago but got sidetracked by the song and spent an hour learning about Russian ska-punk bands instead. (Everything by the band Distemper is that good.)
One obvious thing there is that BC wheels seem good for taking advantage of ramps. That puts them more in line with skateboarding and bmx than conventional unicycles.
Wow! @2:42 He provides the ultima–er, the best answer ever to “Where’s your other wheel?”
Some of what he does reminds me of seat-dragging tricks I’ve seen in freestyle unicycling videos, but he can go way beyond them without the frame and seat to get in the way.
Well that’s basically how I rode for the first couple of months until I learned how to keep my weight on the seat. I get a lot better aerobic workout now that my rides are longer, but I don’t get that crazy quad burn any more. I kind of miss it really.
