videos of advanced unicyclist learning to unicycle?

I think that'd be really interesting...seeing Kris Holm struggling just
to stay upright on the thing (: I think it's probably quite unlikely
that anyone has videos of 'em though....

Yeah, i don't think they had home video that long ago 🙂 Seriously tho,
i would pay good money to see Dan Heaton fail to hop up a curb (nothing
personal Dan).

They've had home video equipment since... the 30s or so. Well, it
would probably be 8mm film until the mid-80s when they introduced
magnetic-based home video equipment.

our first video was great.... we actually thought we invented MUni back
in 1999 (before the internet was around to prove us wrong). we loved
riding down stairs thats for sure, and taking 50 zillion correction
hops, and like most learner videos, theres more bails and staged falls
than there is riding

...good times

I think that 8 mm film was not used until later than the 30s. And I
know for a fact that magnetic-based home video stuff was introduced
before 1980. But ahhh never mind.

Nitpicking removed, at least we can agree that home video equipment has
been around for quite some time.

I have a video somewhere on a VHS tape of the first winter come around
while unicycling (About 6 months into learning). It's pretty great,
starts with some riding of a curb, then goes to lame riding styles, and
some hopping and one 180 unispin. or really funny a frame drop kick up,
while holding on to a basketball poll, and grabbing the seat and
lifting it up. Some really funny stuff in that video. ha. whatever.

Hey that sounds like my last video! Haha, just kidding but it wasn't
long ago I was holding onto a poll trying to figure out how to do a
seat drop.
