Default mainstream athletes who unicycle?


Hey,

I think this thread has been done before, but someone asked me if I knew
any famous mainstream athletes who unicycled, and the only one I could
name was the downhill skiier Bode Miller.

Who else is there?

Steve Young unicycles; he said it helped him with his balance in the
pocket.

That guy can unicycle? And woah, your Kris Holm! sweeeet.

Most athletesaren't really into new things IMO so i doubt theres anyone
else. I can see a winter athlete though, that makes sense.

But many athletes are into cross training, and unicycling may fit their
needs.

e39m5,
Thats pretty stereotypical.

I remember someone saying somewhere that some pro skateboarder unicycled
when he was younger. He would drop off loading docks and picnic tables
and stuff. Other than that I do not know.

the"mutt" Rodney Mullen (considered by many to be the greatest
skateboarder of all time), pedals the single wheelers around.

Thats the one Marv, thats the silver donut.

I wanted to say Andy MacDonald but I think that was cause of the whole
pogo stick thing.
