imagine just tryna take a walk in the woods and seeing 4 old dudes coming at you 15 mph holding their crotch

I have been inspired to start a unicycle gang.

Love this. I watched this video a couple years ago and was in awe. Now I’m riding trails like these and when I Re watched the video today, nothing looked strange at all! I’m a 55 year old lady….no one I know rides a unicycle anywhere, let alone single track trails. I absolutely love it but really would love some company!! So glad you guys have each other

One wheel and a mountain. It's the dream of these off-road unicyclists.

Best thing about riding with a friend is when someone says, "hey where's your other wheel?", you can point to them and say, "he's got it!".

"it couldn't be farther from it, I pursue it for the sport" would have been hilarious if he slowly started putting on a clown outfit bit by bit throughout the video.

These dudes are hardcore. Much respect.

they might not be a part of the circus but i have to argue its VERY entertaining to watch them ride unicycles through the woods

[goombie]

This looks great. just learned how to unicycle and im pretty much confident i can ride indefinitely, at least on semi consistent surfaces and if i concentrate. you work up more sweat than you think. Ive been riding up and down my street on the sidewalk and have gotten some diverse reactions for passers by, but its great fun, and very satisfying once you get to that point where you can go as long as you want without falling off. this is definitely where im aiming. looks so much fun.

ps this is the longest youtube comment ive ever written xD

14 been riding for 3 years got myself a Nimbus II road that I threw on a mountain tire took it on my first trail at camp and loved it.

Muni is where it's at! Great coverage on one of the most fun non-mainstream extreme sports out there.

First couple seconds of the video: "Very very inefficient way to get around the woods."

[SlightlyRadMTB]

Looks like these guys are having a ton of fun.. I need to find one of these things.

[wayrory]

I went out to some easier trails near where I live this morning and had a blast! It was so much fun, and since it was my first time on a mountain bike trail, yes, I fell... A lot. But it was so worth it! Would recommend to anyone wanting to try it!

[circusbysilk]

That last sentence: 'When you got the hang of it, it is really not much harder then riding a normal bike' YEAAASSS, that's so true!!

[dragon-bananagames]

Man thise guys have skill to the max. Nice job.

[jakesanchez]

You guys are awesome, thank you for being yourselves.

[Tarachvangy]

I would never think riding a unicycle looks funny or ridiculous. Who would, to be honest? It's so cool! Definitely something I'd want to learn soon.

[slomo_thesloth]

Been doing basically this for the past 10-15 years and never knew this was an actual sport other people do as well!

[baymaz]

i unicycle a lot as transport. i just really appreciate what these guys do no matter how silly it looks or challenging. if anything I'm jealous at how comfy they appear going through that terrain. pretty jarring as there is little functional suspension on most unicycles and I'd love to know the seats, shorts, handles and chafe butter, they used XD
