Had a bunch of fun this afternoon at the weekly uni get together, riding the hills near the skate park. Frankie started the afternoon saying his uni wasn’t good on dirt downhills, an hour later he was making it to the bottom of the descent on both the 16″ and 12″, no problem. Great...

Had some fun off road rides over the weekend on the 20″ uni with Joell and Elijah, two students from Bullarto Primary School who started unicycling last term. Compared to adults on unicycles, kids will give anything a go. They’ve really inspired me to get off my butt and learn some new skills! Joell,...

Now that the students at Bullarto have earnt their unicycle wings the next step is getting off smooth surfaces and onto riding off road. In a perfect world it would be great to have a collection of 20″ Trials/Mountain unicycles for the students to use once they’ve outgrown the Learner unicycles...

Students at Bullarto Primary School make the front page of the district newspaper… unicycling! Congratulations guys, you’ve all worked so hard. From assembling the unicycles in early May, to using the training rail and then unicycling out into the open, it’s been great fun and a great...

Unicycling; an adventure sport for all? Hmm… cue the clown music as the view amongst non riders remains that unicycling is a prop used in circus acts and/or a skill that only few people are able to master. Curiously this sits comfortably with a surprising number of unicyclists, particularly those...

It’s taken a while but I’ve finally gathered a decent collection of learner uni’s to use in schools and community unicycling sessions. I think it’s important to offer a range of wheel sizes when running unicycle sessions, not just to cater for the wide range of ages (from 5 upwards)...

Unicycling with the kids in years 3 through to 6 is going great! The kids have shown loads of enthusiasm and determination and are well on their way to unicycling off into the sunset The lack of suitable fixed railings at the school made the initial learning feel trickier than it already is. I got...

After a short session mid April introducing the Bullarto kids to the world of unicycling (outside of circus) via a selection of Youtube videos and a little demo it was finally time to get started. I brought along 7 brand new learner unicycles in boxes, the first job was to assemble them. In groups of...

On a recent trip to Melbourne I collected 10 unicycles for uni classes I’ll be running at the school my kids attend, after the Easter holidays. Should be great fun! The first job the kids at school will have is to assemble the unicycles (mainly a mix of 16″ and 20″). I took one out...
