The website of the 16^th world-championships unicycling is up, at www.unicon16.it Written by Leo Vandewoestijne on Sat. the 24th of Jul 2010 at 11:51:29 GMT - 0 comments Here is a very nice documentairy on the King Charles troupe. They were the 1^st all-black act in the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus (...). Not much unicycling in that movie, but still you can learn from those guys. Written by Leo Vandewoestijne on Wed. the 21st of Jul 2010 at 09:51:46 GMT - 0 comments Jay Payleitner, author of 52 things kids needs from a dad made an interresting portion of his book available here. Now I'm even more convinced he's a great dad. But same like kids can nurse you with the same amount of love the years that you're in need of dipers... I'm still hoping to see Jay riding that thing before those days! Written by Leo Vandewoestijne on Wed. the 21st of Jul 2010 at 09:08:16 GMT - 0 comments Munipsycho has a signature-quote in RSU on the art of raising children: "My job is not to keep them from falling. It's to teach them to always get back up. Alike wisdom can be found in this article, that tells about a book written by Jay Payleitner, who sais the unicycle represents one of his beliefs about fatherhood: a dad’s job is to open doors for his children. It’s up to the kids whether they want to pursue those opportunities. Unfortunely none of his kids did pursue. So Jay, give it a serious try yourself, I bet you'll receive the support you've expected to give.

But hey, it's another way to use a unicycle: be part in a marriage proposal.

Written by Leo Vandewoestijne on Fri. the 4th of Jun 2010 at 10:28:10 GMT - 0 comments So the latest gossip is that Rachel Weisz learnt how to ride a unicycle. Written by Leo Vandewoestijne on Thu. the 3rd of Jun 2010 at 12:33:27 GMT - 0 comments Another health theory of another person also called Sharp... Multitalent athlete Emily Sharp: Unicycling is a good way to cross train for track, it works my legs and core because it's a complete exercise of your entire body. Written by Leo Vandewoestijne on Wed. the 28th of Apr 2010 at 10:38:33 GMT - 0 comments Remember my post where I anounced to be(come) the 1st unicyclist on Google StreetView...? Well, here it is! (yay!) It was soo funny: I spotted the car right after I looked up from my phone's screen, while using the Google maps to navigate to my destignation! The stitching of the pictures however is a bit odd. Cause if you use the arrow (to browse), you'll see it was token from two sessions. So I suddenly dissapear, and come back. Written by Leo Vandewoestijne on Wed. the 3rd of Feb 2010 at 14:42:40 GMT - 3 comments This article of the BBC is spreading some nonsense on behalf of a Surrey based professor named Sharp. A quote like "Inevitably when you start to ride a unicycle you're going to fall off quite a lot". make me wonder why that is inevitable; I've teached people to unicycle more than once without falling, and twice even without a UPD!!! Further 72 is not too late to start. However.., he comes up with a clever and very interresting improvement for an autonomous unicycle, using a spinal, like humans use their body mass to relocate their mass. Yes, I'm looking forward to see that done in bidirectional servo's; pushing/pulling rubber-band 'muscles' around 360 degree hinge. Although real muscles work the opposit, it could simulate the human back. Written by Leo Vandewoestijne on Thu. the 21st of Jan 2010 at 11:19:52 GMT - 0 comments Here's another unicycle tandem that's almost good, but wont work the way it is now. I've been riding another unicycle tandem myself together with a girl from Brussels with more succes than in de video. Written by Leo Vandewoestijne on Mon. the 14th of Dec 2009 at 20:32:29 GMT - 0 comments A tricycle unicycle is a somewhat contradictional description for yucycle. Written by Leo Vandewoestijne on Sun. the 13th of Dec 2009 at 19:37:42 GMT - 0 comments Tweet: I just saw a man on a unicycle walking a 3 legged dog!. Well.. than you could have shouted a remark to them. Like "Hey,.. you're missing a ...leg!". Although in fact you're the one missing something; it seems they turned out to do fine without. Written by Leo Vandewoestijne on Sun. the 8th of Nov 2009 at 12:19:11 GMT - 0 comments This is a interresting point of view on learning how to ride a unicycle. Considering unicycling is -like walking and skating- a constant fall, it's totally truth. Written by Leo Vandewoestijne on Fri. the 6th of Nov 2009 at 00:08:45 GMT - 0 comments Gizmodo reports that the Western Washington University did a study with the outcome: most cellphone users are too distracted to notice a clown on a unicycle.

It exposes that the ultimate wheel riders don't really jump that high as the obstacles. And this picture shows that the rider does not really jump over the 7 people, but simply behind them.
