freestyle instructional books and videos
I am looking for instructional info for freestyle unicycling. What books or videos do you recommend? Is anything available on DVD? I am looking for my own use as well as for use in a beginners unicycling class that I hope to be teaching in mid-february. The potential class will be listed in the catalogue for the lifetime learning section of a community college. If it gets 9 people to sign up, I'll be doing the class. I thought it would be good to show some video to the class to inspire them and to help them see the potential of the sport. A while back I found some Japanese (I believe) freestyle competition clips on the internet and I was amazed. I haven't been able to fine them since. Any good vids available for freestyle on the internet? I mentioned books also, videos are great, but a well written book would be very helpful too.

Thyanks, that is the link I needed. That stuff is amazing! It is pretty humbling to see how much you don't know! Now are they more thoughts on the instructional side?

1WNL is pretty advanced for teaching beginners because it minimizes beginning skills. Uni.com's learning video is actually pretty good for teaching. 1WNL is very inspirational, though, and a really good catalog of neat things to work on and towards. Mike King's video, though MUni oriented, shows a lot of "just riding" and can be helpful. Universe, of course, turns on a lot of kids (mostly to trials though!), and Dan Heaton has some really nice freestyle in a middle section. -- U-Turn - Small fish, big pond Weep in the dojo... laugh in the battlefield.
