*Is the unibike a unicycle?*
It is not a "standard" unicycle by current definition, because it has a
drivetrain with gearing. Otherwise, I'd call it a unicycle. Or a
recumbent unicycle, or a unicycle that's harder to ride than a regular
one.
*Should it be allowed to hold a unicycle record?*
In an unlimited classification, yes. I believe it fully meets the
definition there. If, in the future, we come up with something between
"standard" and unlimited, there may be issues with brakes, or other
factors of unibike construction.

I have started the process of editing clips for Jeff's memorial video,
and if any of you have footage of yourself riding, photos of yourself or
Jeff, please don't hesitate so send me a PM, email me: ,
post a link here, or contact me so I could use you.

Even if you just want to give your name in support please do so, and it
will be used in the credits of the video. I am hoping to have this video
done in a week, so please try to get your donations in soon.


Much thanks,
Eric Pearson.

Even though I never had the honor of meeting Unibiker, I had read some
of his posts (prior to even signing up as a member). From the first post
of his (that I happened to read - not his very first post on the forum)
that I stumbled across, Unibiker has been a major inspiration for me! He
managed to do something unique and special in our community... and that
is what I strive to do (in my own unique fashion). In addition to that,
I really love motorcycles (street and dirt), too. I owned and rode dirt
bikes as a kid and currently have a Honda CBR900RR (even though it's
been off the road for a few years and I haven't ridden it) and from
what I read about Unibiker, he was one unbelievably AMAZING motorcycle
rider... apparently far, far better than I ever was! I am very saddened
by Unibiker's passing. Even though I never met him in person, I will
miss him quite a bit, nonetheless! He will continue to inspire me even
though he isn't here with us physically, anymore. I will think of him
when I am having doubts about big, scary ramps or obstacles and then I
will go for it... thinking of his spirit!

I find that, as I'm sure many of you do as well, I'm on these forums
every single day. It started because of my interest in unicycles, but
it's the personalities and insights of those who post here that keep me
coming back. There are quite a few people who I have never road with,
met, or even talked to that I know only through threads and pictures
that I have tremendous respect for. Unibiker was one of those people.
It's strange to think that I'll never see his name next to a post
again.

Catboy, I have no pictures or video to contribute to your movie, but if
there is any other way I could help don't hesitate to ask.

Rest in peace Unibiker.

I have been away from the UCF for a while. That being said, I am so
saddened to hear of Unibikers death.

Like many of you, I read his letters and looked at his galleries... and
sat before my computer screen in AWE!

Unibiker truely had a skill of which most unicycle riders can only
dream.

I pray that the Lord will be the Comforter to his family and friends,
and give them Peace. --chirokid--
