    Sweet Unicycling Video

    Found that on www.alldumb.com (which is also worth checking out, although not juggling-related) a while back.

    It's a load of jumps/tricks/offroad stuff on unicycles.

    Quicktime .mov format

    You may need better than a dialup...

    I bought a unicycle earlier this year and I hardly use it at all. I may even sell it at some stage, so watch this space. It's just kinda frustrating to learn on. I don't get much practice because I never ride it in my own time, and never bring it to juggling practice because i'd have to lug it around college all day first. but if I got good at it it'd be a handy skill. in some strange set of circumstances somewhere down the line...

    still, that's a great video. especially when he hops up on the picnic table, rests on the pedal, swings the whole unicycle around the axle and hops back down again.

    how much did it cost and where did you buy it?
    I was desperately seeking a unicycle a while ago, somebody lent me a "training unicycle" , it had a little extra wheel at the front, no good.

    Anywho i still really want a unicycle, I just couldn't resist unicycling to school, like that guy in the video going down the road, so cool!

    UCD Juggling Society put through a couple of equipment orders every year from Beard, and I ordered one there. €100. Some assembly required.

    I've seen unicycles in shops before. The juggling shop in that shopping centre on Eyre Square in Galway has them, and I'm sure there are places elsewhere too. But they're about €250.

    I bought a uni 2 years ago from 'Its Magic' in The Eyre Square Shopping Centre in Galway. It was about €200. They didn't know it, but it was from a french company called 'passe-passe'. You can order it from their website cheaper than you could buy it from Its Magic. Its quite a good unicycle, compared to a lot of the taiwanese jobbies that you get in a lot of bicycle shops (caveat emptor).
    However, I would say that the killer link for buying unicycles is without a doubt:
    www.unicycle.co.uk
