Bode Miller rides a unicycle

Hopefully Dave comes back in ehre. Hes a worldclass telemark skier, and
sponsored by Kris Holm.

He would have a great insight about this.

I think lots of skiers unicycle to help there balance. I've definitely
inproved this season at skiing, not sure how much unicycling helped
though. I wasn't unicycling last ski season.

And 2 of the ski instructors up at the mountain I ski at can unicycle,
they learnt to help there balance. One of them used to be a top swiss
racer. Pretty kool really.

Ingemar Stenmark (not sure if that's spelled right) was written up in
the USA's Newsletter in the late 70s. The article includes pictures of
Jack Halpern giving him a new unicycle, and him riding it. Not exactly a
testimonial, but another famous skier.

I ski occasionally, but not well enough to provide a meaningful
testimonial. All I know is that the two sports have a lot in common in
terms of muscle groups used, as well as dynamic, or full-body balance
and movement needed to maximize results.

I seem to have always had good balance in sports, I think mostly due to
unicycling at an early age.

MTBers were always amazed how I was able to stay upright and run out a
crash off a bike. Skiing too, I have pulled off some amazing saves due
to balance.

Unicycling this past season will definitely help more in the fitness
department. I feel stronger going into the season this year than I have
in the last couple.

Loveland opens in less than two weeks!!
Woo effin Hoo!!

To really good leg workout Bode should ride an UW instead of pushing
that roller


My years of skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, & inline prob helped a
tad mentally w/ learning to uni. Zero physical - it'd been years since
I'd done any + the paralysis from breaking my back (thighs & core still
work).

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.- Bob Burnquist
