Just remember that throughout the whole demo you should be
doing more and more impressive skills like one big
crescendo. We did daily demos (mainly trials) at a big
Australian folk festival last Christmas holidays and towards
the end of the week when we'd started to get the hang of
building up the moves and skills, people were enjoying it
the most. Try to get the crowd involved by getting everyone
to count down together bofre someone does a big drop or a
big move of some sort. Jumping over people is always
entertaining to most people. We had a
1.5m high platform that we were dropping from and clearing
more and more people each time (only up to 5). The crowd
enjoyed that.

Good luck, Andrew

Oddly enough, I am doing a similar show tomorrow. The event
is the Modesto Family Cycling Festival, in downtown Modesto.
This is where the movie American Grafitti was filmed.

So the audience will be families, and the event is cycling-
oriented. This is great for me as I don't have to do any
juggling or other skills, which I am not as good at. Since
it is a cycling event, I do it from an educational point of
view, but it's still a show. I explain what the different
unicycles are about.

I also have 30 minutes, and will be followed by a unicycle
club performance (Uni Psycho Mania), and the Giant BMX
Stunt Team.

I will use some audience volunteers to jump over, or for
other help. I usually finish up with the giraffe, though my
"biggest" trick is usually the saddle-handlebar stand on my
artistic bike while juggling three clubs. This is especially
hard on the piece of street where this show will be. Maybe
I'll be lucky and they will have repaved it since the last
time I was there.

I might also bring my 9' giraffe, but I don't really have
any show material for that one, just riding it and showing
how you get on and off. And maybe a spin, and pretending to
fall on the audience.

The main thing is to have fun, and take the audience places
they want to go, or where they don't think you can go.

Sorry, no photos or footage of the people-jumping. I'd
probably put the trials a little further towards the
end...non unicyclists are generally pretty impressed
with trials.
