Sprained both ankles while Mountain Unicycling
Technical MUni at Chumash trail in Simi Valley, 12.10.2020. Almost 65, but still rollin'! Unfortunately sustained two sprained ankles on this ride, seen at about the 1 minute mark. Still had a blast though!

One of my professor colleagues rides a unicycle around campus occasionally -- much tamer than the stuff you are doing. It's all I could do to learn how to balance two wheels, but I have always been coordination-challenged, so to speak.

Uni, where can I buy a pair of those brass bells you hang? I ride a full suspension mtn bike and some of stuff you go over would give me trepidation, like the rocky bits.

That's some crazy riding! The vid made my heart race at times
. And I thought it would be so cool if I could learn to ride a uni in an empty parking lot....
Heal quick UniGeezer.

Nice!
motivating me to pull my Quax muni out.
I haven’t ridden it in in years. I put it up after moving to pancake flat Florida from Maryland.
