I don't think there is any question that 'Christian Hoverath'
(http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/search.php?searchid=161543) has the
highest attained witnessed (not recorded) speed on a unicycle riding a
Coker downhill at around 29 mph. The link is to some (of many) threads
that discuss top speed on a unicycle. I still contend that transporting
one by aircraft is probably the fastest.

"They" do. I made the first a few years ago with Dave Stockton doing
the wheel build. Pete Perron has made a couple. I think Florian sells a
36" model.

kph (which seems sane) or mph (which seems like a scary thing to do,
but probably possible in theory...)

Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no
pedals!
Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
Mark: My wheel has a wheel!

Jack Halpern rode his unicycle down the aisle of a passenger jet during
a flight. That may be the fastest speed as observed by a ground
observer.

There have also been a couple of sky divers who jumped out of the plane
on a unicycle. That could get you going pretty fast, but not as fast
as a jet.

i know GB4 himself has hit the low 20s mph. like 22-23. a guy from my
club crashed while doing a 19 mph coker run, severly sprained wrist. he
was clipped in however. he also has cyclocomputer recorded speeds into
the 22-25 range i think.

It was a 29er. Also, he broke his leg because the hub malfunctioned and
he went down unpredictably.

Lots of people have broken 20mph.

Have we confirmed there actually _was_ a ground observer? This might
fit into the old "if a tree falls in the forest and nobody sees it..."
category.

low 20's (mph) doesn't seem that fast to me..i would think that gliding
dowhill on a 36" could get you going much faster. I think my friend hit
like 45-50 on a bike..and by no means am i comparing a unicycle to a
bike..but still.

Brett Bymaster believes he has hit 25 mph at least once or twice while
doing downhill gliding. But the dismounts can be brutal.

I know I've hit about 25 on my Coker and 45" wheel from time to time,
but I *really* don't like going that fast! Christian Hoverath's crazy
downhill run from the EUT several years ago is still the fastest
conventional unicycling I've ever heard of.

The speed segment of unicycling should look more to the bike world (but
not necessarily the UCI) for guidance. I dislike proposing yet another
race (IUF already has its hands full), but there should be a flying
200m on the track. Wouldn't that be something generally recognized as
the fastest pedalled uni?

Don't misinterpret: rolling downhill is completely off the hook and I
agree that Christian's exploit is the benchmark for absolute speed, but
the 200m is recognized in both upright bikes and recumbents as "the
fastest" pedalled sprint.
