  1. what if unicycles had a clutch you could turn on for going downhill?
    then you could go real fast easily like gliding, but you could keep your
    feet on the pedals, and still have control

    We (SWAT) have a coasting unicycle. It doesnt have a clutch. It just has
    a coasting hub. Its really just the front wheel from a big wheel that we
    stuck a seat post in.

    I had the same idea recently! I thought that it would make gliding
    become a much easier skill to achieve.

    Fexnix - who has built one, and are there any pictures or other
    information available??

  10. Roger Davies (Roger@Unicycledotcom) has one, I think he rescued it from
    a skip somewhere :p. Its incredibly tricky (and dangerous) to ride. It
    tends to shoot out forward, depositing you on your back very, very hard.
    It also puts incredible stress on your wrists because it throws you off
    very quickly, too fast to get your feet on the floor, and you fall back
    on your hands.

    Fun, but the potential for injury is huge...

    Loose.
