Two days ago I found a pretty steep slope and successfully unicycled down it. It was several meters of what I guess was a 33 degrees slope. How about you?

Iâve done about the same as you - 63% grade (~32 degrees): Under the Overpass
The trickiest (and scariest) part for me was mounting cleanly.

Believe it or not, my steepest ride was also a 33 degree slope:

Whatâs that U good for?
Nice vid, by the way.

Hmmm, my gut feeling is they put it there for a different reasonâŚ

Very impressive
How long does the slope have to be to count?
it should be higher than you can jump in one go, so a kerb wonât count.
It should be more than 5 meters, then:

Maybe not a hill, but it was the steepest part I have ever ridden. It must have been like 45 degrees or something. The brakes could not hold properly back so I just had to âride alongâ! 
I am still proud of nailing that after soo many attempts on different occasions. After that challenge, no (relevant) hill really seems that steep anymore, and I can more or less squeeze the brake and just go for it. 
17% on top of my shape on about 150m, up and down (sometimes on quite uneven ground that made things even more difficult).
I canât fathom how climbing 35% is possible.
The end is very hard and I always had to dismount when climbing (I was riding a 24").
This one is a bit longer, less uneven and I was able to fully climb it up and down (riding a 27.5").
Also 12% for 200m, only up, increasingly harder, never tried down. Uneven road as well, and I never could make the last few meters as the slope gets way harder.
âChemin de la Cagouillèreâ
People from a park above (top arrow) could see me riding up (down arrow), and everyone applauded me from the heights when I reached the top, even if I had to dismount in the end.

âPut as much force as youâre dumbâ and this should work out. If this fails, then youâre not dumb enough and should try again later on 
I was given this advice when I was practicing rock climbing. Alas, I probably am way smarter than I could imagine

Funny, I also put my arms in the air when I succeed in something with the uniâs

How do you know the climb percentages of these roads. We do have some acending sections, but in NL peeps dont bother stating how steep roads are.
Google maps lets you draw a path and returns length and elevation
âŚbecause the NL are cluttered with hills and mountains, so itâs nothing special
PS: on my 36er Iâve mounted a water level that indicates the percentage - but only if I dismount and put the bar ends on the ground. Plus, they shouldnât be out of alignment (which usually happens after a UPD). Bottom line: I could measure the inclines but rarely do so because itâs too cumbersomeâŚ
