Hello everyone… I wanted to let everyone know that the unicycle trainer that I built with a friend is going to be great. It’s only half painted. There’s gonna be some other colors on there but I want to show everybody what I did. Thank you all for your advice. It’s gonna work great. I’m 69 years old. I have a TikTok account called unicycle granny. I’m up for the next Guinness record oldest female unicycle rider. I got Parkinson’s last year. My balance is a mess. I’m convinced I can’t ride it anymore but I think I can. This should help me out a little bit. What are you guys think. Again thank you all for your advice. I appreciate it!
ride one is done! Getting ready to finish up with Guinness Book of World Records! Thanks for the ideas everyone! Let me know if you like my trainer. Any advice on making it better?
Woo hoo!!! Well it paid off to make that thing. I would suggest you’ve never been on a unicycle before. Don’t make one this weak. I just need a little balancing on the tips of my fingers. I’m fine. I can ride it without using the trainer now.I just had to check. I didn’t wanna get hurt. So I rode it Without the trainerand I submitted all of my things to Guinness Book of World Records again! Now we wait… But yeah, I did it without the trainer! As I get older, maybe I’ll need that trainer as a walker lol just kidding.
That sounded a little negative… Just for FYI I got the record after 14 applications and 10 years later it was fun. I had fun doing it. I got the email two days ago. I was afraid to open it at 6 AM so put it back down and looked at it again and there it was congratulations it said and then so on and so forth if you go to the Guinness world record website type in search bar, oldest female to riding a unicycle. My name will be there. It was fun. That’s all. I don’t know what I was supposed to do. Sit on the couch and fold-my hands and do nothing.? this is something I’ve done my whole life… I love it. We should all do what makes us happy right?…have a great day… Find something to do for yourself that you love no matter what anybody else thinks.
You wrote “10 years later”, but the certificate states “achieved … on 20 Jan 2023”. So when was this record set? Congratulations on your Guinness Record anyway, although I’m not sure you are really the oldest female unicycle rider. Perhaps the oldest to apply for a Guinness Record
If you go to the Guinness, world records page, click the search bar type in oldest female to ride a unicycle. It’ll pop right up. My name is right there on top. I really can’t make this stuff up. The fact that it says 10 years later is this… I started applications about 10 years ago. I kept getting turned down for one reason or another… I have 14 applications in for different things Some were unicycle, and some Were other things. I finally got The record for oldest female, unicycle rider. that was the thing I finally finally got it after 10 years of Trying.… that’s where the 10 years came in if that doesn’t make sense I’m sorry.
OK I understand the 10 years now. And I did and do believe that you have really been awarded that particular Guinness World Record. I just doubt that there never was an older female riding a unicycle. I (male) happen to be 72 and riding unicycles, and I know lots of even older riders. Admittedly they’re all male but I would seem remarkable to me if all the 70-and-up unicyclists in the world are male. But then again, maybe that’s really the case.
That‘s just the way Guinness works. They award the record that they confirm following their rules. Doesn‘t mean that there are no older women who can ride a uni 100m or more.
