Extreme Unicycling. It's not just for clowns anymore

Moses is learning how to. Duncan is covered in bruises and scrapes from his first attempt. I've seen them parked outside of poetry slams and hipster coffee shops. Last week I saw a dad attempting to teach his 9 year old how to do it with varying degrees of success. Yes, Extreme Unicyling is the wave of the future.

I can't really figure out what it is that people find so appealing about this new activity. Maybe it's a risk thing. When you wipe out you're certainly higher up than you would be on a skateboard and the chances of doing so are increased significantly I'm sure. When I was going through school there was nothing sexier than a boy with a skateboard. Jason Lee and all his doofus glory is a perfect example. Even now I get a little tingly when I pass by the skate park...but a Unicycle? Sexy?

I'll let you decide for yourself. Here's a video of master extreme unicycler Kris Holm doing what he does best.
