freestyle instructional books and videos

I am looking for instructional info for freestyle unicycling. What
books or videos do you recommend? Is anything available on DVD?

I am looking for my own use as well as for use in a beginners unicycling
class that I hope to be teaching in mid-february. The potential class
will be listed in the catalogue for the lifetime learning section of a
community college. If it gets 9 people to sign up, I'll be doing the
class. I thought it would be good to show some video to the class to
inspire them and to help them see the potential of the sport.

A while back I found some Japanese (I believe) freestyle competition
clips on the internet and I was amazed. I haven't been able to fine
them since. Any good vids available for freestyle on the internet?

I mentioned books also, videos are great, but a well written book would
be very helpful too.

Well the japanese clips should inspire them, i would recommend the video
one wheel no limit for tricks and to show people how to learn, the music
is really off putting though ( sorry for the people that chose the music
)

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their
shoes.

Thyanks, that is the link I needed. That stuff is amazing! It is
pretty humbling to see how much you don't know!

Now are they more thoughts on the instructional side?

1WNL is pretty advanced for teaching beginners because it minimizes
beginning skills. Uni.com's learning video is actually pretty good for
teaching. 1WNL is very inspirational, though, and a really good catalog
of neat things to work on and towards. Mike King's video, though MUni
oriented, shows a lot of "just riding" and can be helpful. Universe, of
course, turns on a lot of kids (mostly to trials though!), and Dan
Heaton has some really nice freestyle in a middle section.
