    For months on end, John Foss's signature was:

    "In three months or so, he won't be doing that any more." --
    Kris Holm's cousin Derek, 13, on Kris' unicycling now that
    he's married

    Kris got married on 21 September and I noticed that his last
    post was on 18 December. So, did this dark prediction come
    true? That would not cheer up paco who brought this issue up
    in his recent "Family riding" post.

    Give it a year. The newness of marriage wears off and you realize you're
    both the same people you were before you got married. He'll be back
    (until the first baby - that's another story:p ).

    From the November 2003 Outside magazine's coming soon
    section (page
    36)"In November, I'll be training for a February unicycling
    expedition to 22,384-foot Aconcagua, in Argentina, by
    getting soaked and muddy in Vancouver's North Shore
    trails. Our four-man team's plan is to carry the unis up,
    then ride from the summit to base camp." Anybody heard if
    this is still on?

    Hey,

    Of course I'm still riding!! I live 5 minutes from awesome
    trials and
    1/2 hour from some of the best MUni on earth, so there's
    really no reason not to. I just signed for another year of
    riding for Norco, plus of course riding/testing/developing
    products for KHU.

    My wife can ride a unicycle although it's not something she
    does very much. However we are both independent people and
    both want the freedom to pursue adventures independent from
    each other as well as together.

    Priorities do change somewhat though. For example I'm still
    very motivated to ride difficult terrain, but now I won't
    put myself in situations where I'm risking my life.

    To answer the Aconcagua question, it didn't work out this
    year because not everyone could go, but it will happen at
    some point.

    Kris.

    But, a 'situation where I'm risking my life'... I've never
    seen one of them, not by Kris Holm, surely! :p

    Glad to see you have decided to be more cautious as you use
    your amazing talents on the uni. My thoughts on the "risky
    or life threatening riding"? ... Just because you can,
    doesn't mean you should.

    I think one of the problems with today's extreme sports is
    the go for it at all cost mentality. Just because a person
    doesn't get hurt doing a stunt, doesn't mean it was safe or
    wise. High risk activities have high impact consequences. A
    loving spouse (and family) helps a person see what's
    important in life.

    I know I'll get flack for this, but there is more to
    life than uni.

    Not from me you wont. I'm glad that Kris is not putting his
    life at risk anymore and I'm also glad to hear him say that
    he had been risking his life.

    So am I. Nothing could be worse for the uni community then
    to have such a high profile rider seriously injured or
    killed while performing a needlessly dangerous stunt.

    I'm also very glad to hear that you (Kris) is still riding.
    Having one of the most talented riders and product designer
    not riding would be bad too.

    My friend and fellow unicyclist, Kurt Kettenacker, left the
    east side a few years ago to attend Chapman University in
    southern California, when, much to his surprise, Adam Ryznar
    lived in his dorm!

    He was quite taken aback to find Adam riding a skateboard,
    with no unis in his possession. Evidently unicycling is only
    one of Adam's many talents and hobbies.

    So, after hurting his ankle while unicycling, he decided
    that it was getting in the way of his other sport interests
    and so kinda gave it up.

    This was about two years ago that I heard this, so he might
    have taken it up again. Sad if he didn't, he was a pioneer.

    That is a pity. I'm too much of a whimp to ride the life
    threatening situations which you mention, but it is always
    good watching footage of other people doing it. I will
    always remember seeing Kris on Ripley's Believe It Or Not,
    doing the first extreme mountain Unicycling I had ever seen.
    Kris, maybe you should change your forum name to safe_uni
    instead of danger_uni. [image: addis-addis-
