Bode Miller rides a unicycle

2004's Overall World Cup ski champion Bode Miller trains on a uni in the
off season. I finally found a (very short) video clip of him riding
one. Go to http://www.flyingdownhill.com/flash/index.html
to view a trailer of a video he's selling. The trailer is fairly
lengthy but you might want to watch it nonetheless. Bode is an
incredibly immature athlete with more talent than anyone else in the
world of ski racing. He can't open his mouth without inserting his
foot but he's a joy to watch when he's on top of his game. I'm glad to
see he appreciates the advantages of one-wheeling it.

Bode is the best skier i have ever seen, he should definatly try to stay
away from the press though... someone mentioned that he rode a while
back. Herman Maier does too I think...

I forget his name but *the* skiing guru (skiers will know who I am
talking about, apparently hes the Kris Holm of skiing) strongly
recommended unicycling as an offseason workout because it strongly
benefits core strength, leg strength and balance (all big in skiing).

I reckon theres a lot of skier-unicyclists.

I wasn't aware that The Herminator rode a uni. Makes sense though. I
think Daron Rahlves has logged some time on one. I've met him on a few
occasions and will probably see him at Steamboat next winter. I'll
ask him.

I got into unicycling (after a long absence) to strengthen my quads for
snowboard racing and obviously to help with my balance.

After unicycling, fencing is a breeze on my quads. I was keeping up with
the ROTC boys in fencing club no problem. I got quite a kick out of
that since I'm an almost over the hill mom!!

It's possible you're speaking of Andrew McLean, a
gnarliest-of-the-gnarly ski mountaineer with many first descents to his
credit. 'Here's his website.' (http://www.pawprince.com/). I have an
excellent book he wrote, describing and rating all the chutes in the
Wasatch Mtns. in Utah, called '\"The Chuting Gallery\"'
(http://tinyurl.com/j6ula)

In that book there's a quote to the effect of "It's a real kick skiing
a chute and passing technical ice climbers on their way up the same
pitch".

He was the subject,of 'this thread'
(http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40256) and also a
poster in it under the user-name "Unified".

Im actually writing a paper about how unicycling is the perfect training
tool for skiing for my ski conditioning final and i could actually use
some personal testimonies if you guys wouldnt mind. i started
unicycling when i took up telemark skiing and my parents started getting
annoyed at me complaining my thighs hurt after a day at the mountain.
now i do it all the time, for fun and as the perfect exercise.
