Great articles. I thought this quote was pretty funny: "Learning to
unicycle is no harder than learning to paraglide while performing brain
surgery."

Fantastic. And practically in my own backyard. More and more, the media
is portraying uni as a sport and not a circus novelty.
I tried to find an article that was published last spring in the local
universities newspaper that showed unicycling in a very favorable light
but their online archives are somewhat lacking. Anyway, ya gotta love
good press for our sport.
Hip, hip, hooray.

Great coverage. I live in Pagosa Springs, about 60 miles east of
Durango and muni every day possible. I would like to meet and ride with
anyone in my area as there are only a few of us in imPagosa Springs.
Also how can i get in touch with Ed Moriman(muni builder) near
Farmington. I hope to hear from some of you other muni riders real
soon. Nathan
