World's Tallest Unicycle Record Attempt in January 2004!
You can see pictures of some previous World's Tallest Unicycle Records
and information about this next attempt at: http://semcycle.com/ Click on World's Tallest Unicycle Record link. I'm really happy to see that Sem is attempting a new record! Many unicyclists, including myself, have expressed serious doubts about the current 101 foot record. I have no doubt that Sem will show the world who the greatest unicyclist in the world is. Please let everyone know what you think about this spectacular and incredible attempt. Good luck Sem! Sincerely, Ken Fuchs |

World's Tallest Unicycle Record Attempt in January 2004!
I thought that the Guiness record people had stopped accepting record attempts for the tallest unicycle because: the freestyle riding of ever taller unicycles (i.e., without any safety harness) must inevitably lead to serious injury or fatality. Perhaps this only applies for non-harnessed rides? -mg -- mgrant - Ever hoping for the best!

That is just nuts! I wouldn't feel comfortable at that height on a fixed tower of similiar design. And I used to jump out of airplanes Sem Good Luck! Can't wait to see you do it!

Wow! Go Sem! The web site shows the building of the unicycle and some of the design. Neat stuff. I wonder how much flex there will be in the frame as he is riding it? -- john_childs - Guinness Mojo john_childs (at) hotmail (dot) com Gallery: '' (http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery/john_childs) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/29815 |

Wow! Fantastic website with so many construction photos and real information. Loved seeing the old videos again of Sem's previous records too. ---Nathan -- nathan - BIG rides: Muni & Coker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nathan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/251 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/29815 |

Sem and Teresa Let us know when the ride will be... There is a group from Toronto who will be there to cheer you on !!! Way to go ! All the best ! Can't wait ! Darren P.S. Should I check the Skydome ceiling height here in Toronto ?! You could lean the 117' unicycle against the CN Tower to mount it !!! -- Darren ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Darren's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3989 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/29815 |

I sensed some bitterness whenever it is mentioned that the record was given to a uni supported by a taut wire. I would like to see Sem get the record, if for nothing else than to end the controversy. -- paco - Proud owner of 2 opposable thumbs Sounds exactly like an orthodic support for shoes, only different.

It is well worth watching the Steve McPeak video to get an idea of just how amazingly tall sem's unicycle will be. Good luck to them.

has anybody figured out a way to take out at least some of the stretch in a chain that long (either that or some other type of drive system). Looking at these videos, the pedaling is going a lot faster than the wheel, I'm assuming that's just stretch in the chain drive at that height. -- toddw9 - No, I'm not a clown. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toddw9's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4466 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/29815 |
