  1. Just put together this nearly *FORTY YEAR OLD footage* of me riding my
    first unicycle! No Trials or muni then, but I took to it pretty quick!
    My pants looked about two sizes too small! :p Just thought it would be
    fun to share it with you all. I think I was about eleven then. 😄

    that was neat, now i only have to put it to use.
    parents banned my uni due to low school marks so if there are any nerds
    out there with a kind heart, i have a psychology assignment that is a
    few weeks over due, it is on intelligence.

    Way cool.

    Thanks...I only wish I had footage from a couple years later when I had
    my schwinn 24"! I had learned how to ride down stairs and ride
    backwards and even one-foot pedalling-then I quit kinda all of a
    sudden.🙁 Oh, btw, I want to thank my friend Perry for transferring the
    original video tape to dvd, then to mpeg4, then finally to WMV! Great
    job!

    You should've seen us in the mid-70's when Bell bottoms, platform shoes
    and polyester were considered cool! Can you say, Saturday Night Fever?

    YEah, no computers, video games, cell phones, walmart, diet soda,
    wait...maybe tab. The BIG event that year (1967) was the realease of
    the Beatles masterpiece, Sgt.Pepper! My friends and I must've played
    that record...yes record-no CD's then!-a million times! The Beatles
    would not break up for another THREE years! In fact, The very FIRST
    moon landing would not take place until TWO years AFTER this footage
    was filmed! Yep, filmed. There were no video cams back then either! At
    least not commercially available. Memories!🙂

    the 80s😉 any who, thanks terry for sharing that vid. now when you
    were that old did you ever think that you would ever be doing anything
    more hardcore than that?

    I don't think I did, but I did do some small drops off stairs and curbs
    and one foot pedalling but that's about it. i do remember that I used
    to be able to spin in a circle pretty fast and pick small items up off
    the ground while riding. I just didn't even imagine all the
    possibilities back then. Of course back then, the unis were all pretty
    weak and would not have held up anything too hardcore.

  11. This should put 1967 in perspective: See what was hot in Music, Sports,
    Movies, TV, etc. All of that was going on when that uni footage was
    shot! Ancient history now I'm afraid!

    The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a
    capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the
    safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

    time, considering we're all going to be living on new planets by mid
    2007.

    I'm wondering how much further this sport can advance in the next 35+
    years, and if present riding styles and tricks will seem as "basic" to
    someone in 2045 as my 1967 vid does to us in 2006? 😕

  18. That is great classic film footage. I love the “new” Chevy Camaro you
    are unicycling next to.

    Our family took a few movies in the 60’s. I remember the film came on
    little reels and each reel was good for 3 minutes of action. It was a
    luxury in 1967 but paltry by today’s standards.

    Yeah, dad worked for chevrolet back then, and would get a new "demo" car
    each year! That camaro was cool-and fast! Also, I think this was the
    first "color" footage we ever shot since up to about '66 everything was
    B&W.
