    Shaun Johanneson has been selected as the first member of Syko
    Productions sponsored team, Team Syko. Shaun brings a diverse mix of
    skill, creativity, and positive attitude that has helped mold him into
    one of the sports top riders. Along with Bedford Unicycles, Team Syko
    will help Shaun with equipment and promotion.

    Here's a short video of Shaun sessioning from Spring/Summer 2005:

    http://tinyurl.com/crpx5

    *Note - This is not filmed by Syko Productions and yes thats a triple
    flip at the end!

    HOMETOWN:[/B] MANDAN, NORTH DAKOTA

    *AGE:* 17 YEARS OLD

    [B]ABOUT HIS RIDING:

    Shaun has pioneered combo/tech grinds and flip tricks. He is the first
    person to land a double flip, triple flip, trey flip (360 unispin
    crankflip), varial flip and inward flip (180 unispin with reverse body
    varial crankflip). He rides street with a little bit of freestyle and
    flatland.

    In October 2005, Shaun won the “What do you Freestyle?” contest put on
    by Target/Levis. The contest asked for participants to submit 1 clip
    of them doing something unique, creative and entertaining. Most
    submissions included bike and skateboard tricks, while Shaun wowed the
    judges with an 11 stair pedal grind. For his efforts will receive an
    all expenses paid trip to Aspen, Colorado for the winter X-games.

    WHEN DID YOU START UNICYCLING AND WHY:
    March 5th 2001, Saw Kris Holm on Ripley's Believe it or Not and wanted
    to learn, got a unicycle (24" torker) for my birthday early. Got
    serious winter of 2003-2004 after watching the trailer for U2.

    WHY DO YOU LIKE TO RIDE:
    It's awesome, to do a sport that is in the minority. I like to ride for
    advancement as well. The feeling of achievement is unmatched.

    OTHER INTERESTS:
    Weight Lifting (last time I talked to Shaun he was working on his ass),
    Dancing

    SHAUN’S WORDS OF WISDOM:
    Don’t get discouraged, practice is all it takes. Ride hard, but have
    fun.

    That video clip was amazing. I'm sure he'll inspire even more people.
    Just where is this sport headed?!? Way to go, Shaun, and thanks, Dan,
    for posting the clip.

    Thats awesome. I have been waiting for this. Now I don't have to keep it
    a secret. Is no one else amazed by the triple crankflip at the end?
    Anyway congratulations Shaun and keep riding hard.

    What's the deal with X-Games? Does he just get to go watch? Shaun fully
    deserves the sponsorship and whatever else comes his way, most improved
    rider over the last year and a bit, and from the looks of that video,
    possibly now the best rider in the world. I wonder what he's gonna do
    next?

    Fantastic video clip Dan. Shaun is a phenomenal rider. It's very
    generous of you to sponsor a rider and it's a very positive reflection
    on the sport and community.

    One year later he has improved by orders of magnitude and has begun to
    do exactly what he claimed was possible.

    Congratulations, Shaun. You earned it.

    I want to grow down so I can grow up to be Shaun Johanneson.

    Congrats to Shaun for his sponsorship and Dan for continuing to push
    the sport beyond anything most of us could imagine. You guys are
    inspirations to all aspiring street/freestyle riders!

    That's unbelievable. Wicked riding, keep it up. Good on you Dan as well.
    The sport is blasting forward thanks to amazing riders like Shaun and
    the promotion Dan does. Thanks guys.

    WOW!
    what a cool vid

    thanks for showcasing a wider variety of shaun's skills, he's amazing!
    i mean, his defect section was amazing too, but I liked seeing more of
    his tricks down stairsets as well as his flatland style stuff like
    yours dan

    Shaun, your tech tricks are amazing!!! all those flips and spins, into
    and out of rails... jeez...
    keep up the great work dan and shaun!!!!
