That’s crazy. A lot of people can’t even ride those trails on a bike.

That guy is a beast. Regularly going up trails that I walk my bike up without any brakes, just two pedals and a wheel

That's like the NBA logo for unicyclists, need someone to do a silhouette version

You can see he's got a disc brake on there for controlling descents. Still fucking impressive
[deleted] t1_j85e3rd wrote
good eye. how do you figure he activates it? back pedal? or is there a hand control?
[deleted] t1_j85e5xe wrote
yeah, or ride a unicycle on flatland. definitely impressive
Ikemafuna t1_j85gcxj wrote
There's typically a lever under the front of the seat

my dad could ride one flatland but this is nutty

I've seen this guy before. I had to stop biking and watch because I was just amazed that someone unicycling the wiss.

I couldn't believe how well he was navigating the trail I was on. A lot of rocks!

Man that's rad. I know a guy who used to do shit like this. He moved out west and does even crazier shit now. Some people are just inherently awesome and can't help but flex.

Got skills, mate
big_orange_ball t1_j85mqbo wrote
Not even a flex, just their normal day-to-day, impressive.

I used to work with a guy who would sometimes go around Boston on a unicycle playing an accordian while dressed as Darth Vader.

I know him pretty well, I shared the link to this post with him and he loves the logo!
this_shit t1_j86qm5w wrote
Nah, he got busted by the cops too many times for unicycling in NYC, so now he does his weirdness in the desert. He's one of the folks for whom burning man is dead, they need weirder shit. Absolutely wish I could sustain his dedication to being a freak for even a couple weeks.

The internet is a magical place sometimes

Please tell him that he rules! Hope to catch him on the trails again.

There's a brake lever under the seat you can use to help control speed. It's just like a fixed gear where if the wheel is rotating, so are your legs, so the brake helps manage downhills.
