  1. Yesterday I got a call from a woman on CNN who was very interested in my
    new uni video. She said that she would get it on air sometime in the
    next few months. Tell me what you think. I know a lot of you guys are
    extremely talented so this prob will not look like much!

    Great video! Lots of variety is key, and you did just about all you can
    do on a uni! 😄

  4. Because of your post I thought it was going to be some really [censored]
    video, but you know, publicity is always good. Then I checked it out
    and youre a pretty awesome rider! More than that, editing and filming
    was great, I loved the video.

    table at the end made my legs hurt just watching 😄

    Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
    obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
    through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
    its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
    remain.

  14. That was a really good video. I'm not sure if seeing a unicycle video on
    TV would convince someone to buy a unicycle, but if it did, this would
    be the video.

    Great work, keep it up.

  15. Great Video! You incorporated a lot of different styles and did some
    really original stuff like with the Trampoline! I really enjoyed it!
    Not to mention that you are a very accomplished rider!

  16. That's one of the few videos that I've actually enjoyed watching all the
    way through. excellent riding and editing, and the level of
    extremeness will make it great for television.

  17. The video was very well done. A couple of reasons why CNN may have been
    attracted to yours over some others:
    - Pace is not too fast for non-unicyclists to follow
    - Nice variety
    - Music nearly anyone can stand

    There was only one thing missing:
    Any sign of thought toward your own safety (safety gear). I prefer to
    think of us unicyclists as a little smarter in the self-protection
    department than skateboarders, who seem to think it makes them weak or
    something. You can't say it wouldn't help any after including all those
    great biffs at the end!

    Overall very well done, and I hope it gets aired!

    I agree with John. Great video, great tricks & skills, well edited.

    But at least wear a helmet, dude.
