  1. Was at a local Bike shop and was surprised to see Energy Gel specially
    for Unicyclist!

  6. Hammer Nutrition headquarters is in Whitefish Montana, couple hours from
    were I live.

    I used to be on their sponsor team, but that kind of pooped out.
    I have a couple shirts with that logo on it though.

  9. I use Hammer Gel when I'm biking at 24 hr races. It really is the best
    stuff in the middle of your 4th lap when all you want to do is just go
    fall asleep on the side of the trail. The espresso isn't very good cuz
    you get way too hyper and can't sleep when you get back. I find the
    orange it good cuz its not too strong and not too sweet.
    You don't need much of it, I use about half a pack per lap (only when
    needed) and take it with lots of water. Its not a substitute for food,
    it just gives you that little extra boost without making you crash
    after.
    So ya, anyone thats doing long distance unicycling should check it out
    🙂

  10. 😄 I've seen and eaten hammer gel so many times, I can't believe I never
    saw it as a unicycle!

  12. I also use the Hammer Nutrition products. They sell that artwork as a
    temporary tattoo. Rotate it just a little when putting it on and it is
    a uni. It stays on quite a while.

    Mmmm... I wonder if the temp tattoo could be modified or combine pieces
    of two of them for a different look. Sounds like a competition.

  13. They handed this stuff out at Moab MUni Fest last year but I never ate
    it for some reason, and its been sitting around my room for the past
    year. We got gel packs, and some pills all branded with the hammer
    unicycle logo.

    I always thought it was funny that they handed out pills inside a
    plastic baggie stapled to a paper cover. You could probably sell the
    individual pills on the streets pretending they're some drugs and get
    away with it lol

    I remember getting tons of those pills and gel packs from Moab last
    year. I liked them.

    The pills were kinda funny, cause I had so many once I got back home,
    and just left them on my desk. Some of them got squished, so there was
    a bit of the white spilled out.

    My friends would come over and id take a few in front of them, and they
    completely believed it was some type of drug.

    I found one of those packs of raspberry flavor at the bottom of my
    Camelbak just a couple of weeks ago. I think I used it on my RTL
    qualifying ride. I was ready for it to taste all stale, but it tasted
    great. I wish I could find it in the stores around here...

  20. It is suposed to be a sprocket/crankset but the first thing that I saw
    was a unicycle. When I saw it I had just finished a 30km cross country
    ride. There were a whole bunch of bikers hanging out by the cafe/bike
    shop at the end of the trail. Of course they were all making comments
    about the unicycle. I told them that it is not so uncommon they even
    have energy gells made for unicyclists, showing them the Hammer Gell.
    None of them even disputed that it was not a unicyclist on the front!
    Hell, the picture does look like a MUni!
