Michael Grant told me that his three year old son could almost ride.
That was about a year and a half ago. I'll try to find out if he ever
learned and at what age.

Yes he does.

It would be interesting to see the video.

John who?

I have her name, Nini Hall. Daughter of unicycling great Mel Hall, who
recently passed away. She reportedly rode across the stage (or ring) at
the age of 18 months in a pair of diapers.

Nini is a professional circus performer, and I had a short email
conversation with her a few years ago, but then lost contact. I have
seen her sister in the Clyde Beatty Cole Bros. circus in the 80s, but
never saw her.

Her father Mel was a famous unicyclist in the 1940s, doing things like
side ride one-handed. He is also shown in movie, Sensations of 1945,
freemounting and riding an inverted 9-footer. That is, running up it,
and riding upside down, with his hands pedaling. He also did a
hand-cranked ultimate wheel. In later years, he taught orangutans to
ride unicycles.

I don't have a video. Not sure when this happened, but probably in the
late 50s or early to mid 60s. I read about it in early issues of the USA
Newsletter.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

The youngest rider I have met was King MUni Man, aka. Gabe. At the time
I think he was 6. If you want to meet him, he spends most of his time
up north in Alaska.

Before meeting KMM, I was the youngest rider I have met.

18 months... wow!

Ahhhh, if not you.. then possibly Connie. I know it was on one of my
trips to the US that I watched it and I had thought it was at your house
after the Muni weekend. It was not when she was 18months old but
possibly 2 or 3 I would have guessed.
