*where would one find such a monkey?*

We actually found it at a local thrift store in a pile of other stuffed
animals. We had been looking for something like that for such a long
time and finally found it. Mary almost whooped out loud in the store
because it was such a find. I had even tried searching online with no
success.

I used a piece of 4" PVC attached to the uni seat for the body. The
legs are made of hinged aluminum flatstock with covered with flex tubing
to give the limbs some fullness. I used clothesline wire to form
bendable arms. Everything seems to work well. One comment on the legs,
the flatstock had to be long enough to keep a forward angle in the legs
so they wouldn't suddenly try to bend backwards during operation.

I've uploaded a short clip of Ben riding with the monkey at

The clip is in front of our home, our dogs Abby and Riley are in the
driveway.

That's a pretty awesome unicycling monkey!

but anyway, to give you a name for your uni-monkey, I'm thinking
"J.Gordan Hungerdunger, the amazing one-wheeled super simian!" I know it
sounds kind of stupid, but I like it more than "bonzo the unicycling
circus monkey" or "mojo the monkey with stupendous ballancing
technique"

Anyway that's just my idea, I hope you find a name for the monkey that
you like, personally I think "J.Gordan Hungerdunger, the amazing
one-wheeled super simian!" is pretty catchy but you might not.

When you decide on a name for him, please post it, i'm curious what you
decide to name him.

Oh, I meant to mention one other thing. The 16" uni belongs to the club
and the monkey is attached to his seat and is removable. For a parade
or other show, we simply change out the regular 16" uni seat with the
monkey and attach the monkey feet to the pedals. Works very well.
