Why doesen't unicycling take off like snowboarding has?

I think the answer is “zero”; at least, zero coverage as a sporting event. There were some “hey, this crazy guy from our town is doing this thing in Nova Scotia” stories. Tourism stories in Nova Scotia. Posts here. That’s it.

RTL was a logistical nightmare to organize and likely lost money, which is likely why it wasn’t repeated. And it didn’t do anything to move the needle on unicycling being perceived as a mainstream sport.

I absolutely agree that RTL did little to make unicycling a mainstream sport on a macro level.

In our case, RTL launched unicycling regionally.

More thoughts on that are here.
