Bode Miller rides a unicycle
2004's Overall World Cup ski champion Bode Miller trains on a uni in the off season. I finally found a (very short) video clip of him riding one. Go to http://www.flyingdownhill.com/flash/index.html to view a trailer of a video he's selling. The trailer is fairly lengthy but you might want to watch it nonetheless. Bode is an incredibly immature athlete with more talent than anyone else in the world of ski racing. He can't open his mouth without inserting his foot but he's a joy to watch when he's on top of his game. I'm glad to see he appreciates the advantages of one-wheeling it. -- patmoore MY GALLERY (\"HTTP://TINYURL.COM/MHCHU\") "When you're over the hill, you pick up speed!"

Bode Miller rides a unicycle
Bode is the best skier i have ever seen, he should definatly try to stay away from the press though... someone mentioned that he rode a while back.

Bode Miller rides a unicycle
I forget his name but *the* skiing guru (skiers will know who I am talking about, apparently hes the Kris Holm of skiing) strongly recommended unicycling as an offseason workout because it strongly benefits core strength, leg strength and balance (all big in skiing). I reckon theres a lot of skier-unicyclists. -- TheObieOne3226 'SWAT Gallery' (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/SWAT) 'SWAT webpage' (singlewheeledattackteam.1hwy.com) 'Arrow Racing' (http://www.arrowracing.com/) 'Sixsixone' (http://www.sixsixone.com) \"obie is definately a trend setter, i got in to unicycling because of him, and came here because of him\" - kj-52 \"try not to annoy the great obie, for he is better than us.\" - murde mental *disclaimer: the above message was not intended to offend anyone. if you are offended i can take no responsibility for my actions because i don't feel like it. also you are reading an internet newsgroup where not everyone will share your same views and beliefs, be able to take criticism and post/read threads at your own risk.* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TheObieOne3226's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4851 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/49781 |

I wasn't aware that The Herminator rode a uni. Makes sense though. I think Daron Rahlves has logged some time on one. I've met him on a few occasions and will probably see him at Steamboat next winter. I'll ask him. I got into unicycling (after a long absence) to strengthen my quads for snowboard racing and obviously to help with my balance. -- patmoore MY GALLERY (\"HTTP://TINYURL.COM/MHCHU\") "When you're over the hill, you pick up speed!"

Bode Miller rides a unicycle
After unicycling, fencing is a breeze on my quads. I was keeping up with the ROTC boys in fencing club no problem. I got quite a kick out of that since I'm an almost over the hill mom!! -- podzol THE MISSING WHEELS TOUR DA YOOP! Check out the charity ride, planning is under way.

I reckon theres a lot of skier-unicyclists. It's possible you're speaking of Andrew McLean, a gnarliest-of-the-gnarly ski mountaineer with many first descents to his credit. 'Here's his website.' (http://www.pawprince.com/). I have an excellent book he wrote, describing and rating all the chutes in the Wasatch Mtns. in Utah, called '\"The Chuting Gallery\"' (http://tinyurl.com/j6ula) In that book there's a quote to the effect of "It's a real kick skiing a chute and passing technical ice climbers on their way up the same pitch". He was the subject,of 'this thread' (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40256) and also a poster in it under the user-name "Unified". -- steveyo steveyo ...like having your own personal rollercoaster... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ steveyo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7228 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/49781 |

Bode Miller rides a unicycle
Im actually writing a paper about how unicycling is the perfect training tool for skiing for my ski conditioning final and i could actually use some personal testimonies if you guys wouldnt mind. i started unicycling when i took up telemark skiing and my parents started getting annoyed at me complaining my thighs hurt after a day at the mountain. now i do it all the time, for fun and as the perfect exercise. -- DocSnowMan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DocSnowMan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/18019 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/49781 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
