I have tried a 2 wheeled giraffe, its impossible! I want to try it with
the third wheel, apparently its quite hard because of teh resistance of
the extra wheels when you pedal. Still looks fun.

I have a homemade 3 wheeled unicycle ( if you went to the buc 15 you'll
have probably seen it)
It isn't very practical, scary at first, with the wheels constantly
slipping.
In height it adds up to about six foot four.
Definetly inpressive, gets every head turned your way. People are
always taking pictures of you and saying things like "How is that
possible"
I also have a normal five foot giraffe (also home made)
I enjoy riding the normal giraffe a lot more because its a lot liter,
the 3 wheeled one is so heavy. You can do tricks on the giraffe, best
you can do on the 3 wheeled is ride and idle, and at best ride
backwards.

I still like it though, but I would recomend getting a normal giraffe
first.

If either of you people who posted above come to the next BUC you can
have a go !

I'd love a Giraffe, and to go to BUC actually lol. I borrowed a 5'er off
my LBS for half an hour of great fun... oh good times lol.

You can walk the wheel on a 3-wheel giraffe. For general riding it's
less fun because the cycle is a lot heavier, and even when well-adjusted
there's still plenty of friction in the drivetrain compared to a giraffe
with a chain.

But it's much more of an attention-getter -- excellent for parades!

Panther Pride has both three wheeled and five wheeled (called stacks). I
rode Ductapes three wheeled this summer at the Portland Juggling
Festival and agree it's a little tricky with all the slippage and extra
weight but doable. Wouldn't want to go down stairs with it!

I have a 3 wheeled unicycle, well it's been in pieces for a while, but
I'm building it up for sunday.

I've not tried any tricks on it yet, I haven't used it in ages, and I
am yet to freemount it.

It is fun to ride, more effort than a normal giraffe unicycle, but I'd
say just as fun.

I am learning to ride the 2 wheeler too, I can running mount, ride
forwards and turn on it, idling and riding backwards are to come.

I own a 3-wheeled giraffe, personally I find it JUST AS EASY to ride as
my standard giraffe. If you want to see a bit of tricks watch my
multiwheeled video on youtube--- www.youtube.com/unisykolist
