Neet Cool Wow...however couldn't help but think of all the practice and what could happen during a practice. This duo knows what they are doing.

What amazed me most was his initial mounting of the unicycle. It was laying on the floor and he just stepped on the pedal, popping it up.

He flicks the seat in the air with his right foot as he jumps, brilliant.

I had to watch it again, that is some routine. I was trying to catch how much she was helping or if he had to do most of the control... either way it is amazing to me. ??a way for a couple to go to work?? : )

The kick up mount is a pretty standard trick, it's not as difficult as it looks. The seat slides up the inside of your "kicking" leg and your leading foot helps to lever the uni upright. The key is to get your weight on the pedals before the seat can crush the important bits :eek:

The flip dismount is amazing and completely genius, I had to watch it again and again. The tandem riding with the girl sharing the pedals looks incredibly difficult to learn, they're both very talented!

The first one is unbelievable, her riding is so smooth! The "coasting" while standing on the fork is really cool too, I'm tempted to try it...
