Extreme Unicycling on Fox 11 News!
A reporter from Fox 11 News (Los Angeles) came out to my house a couple months ago and interviewed me for a segment on the News. She told me it would air at a later (unknown) date, since their "non news" stories are done in advance. Her camera guy also shot some footage of me riding at my local trail, but since they have the time to travel to better trails farther away, I had also given them a dvd with some footage from more technical trails and some trials-y stuff.
Well, I had pretty much forgotten about the interview and then yesterday the reporter called to say that the segment would air on Thursday, 6/9/11, on the 10 o’clock news. I think they did a decent job with it, but there are a few misquotes and factual errors, which is usually par for the course.
The part near the end where I “flashed” my abs, was totally the reporter’s idea, haha. And at the very end, when the in-studio reporter segues to the weather, the cute weather lady makes a very nice remark about it!

Nice Vid! Makes me want to try it out! Pretty cool that you started when you were already so old (but obviously capable).
If anyone is having trouble streaming, go to the version on youtube.com... that worked for me.

haha, thanks, that makes my day...again!
I hope you do try it! That's part of why I like making videos so hopefully it might inspire people to learn. But be warned...it can be addicting!
Thanks!
Thanks!
I use brakes on my 24 and 29er. My small 19" uni doesn't have or need one and my 36er has magura brake mounts, but I only put them on if I take it offroad.
