Do tell! There needs to be more people (not just me) with embarrassing
stories in this post...

Well, it wasn't any 3-4m thingie...It had just rained and I ride into a
ditch thinking it was a small puddle. Suddenly the ground vanishes from
under my feet and I'm taking a cold, muddy bath...No pics of the actual
thing but a few of me and another guy before the plunge...

Oooh...nasty. Puddles can be deceptive like that...it's always safer to
rolling hop them

Hilarious! Thanks for sharing, Joe. Your writeup is even better than a
video would be!


BTW, you were lucky, that you were on a trials. I know three unicyclists
who can proof that freestyle-unis do NOT float!

*During the parade at the European Juggling Convention in Rotterdam my
uni fell into a "gracht". I had thrown it about 3m onto the lawn, next
to the street. But the tyre bounced and the uni rolled and tumbled 6-8m
down the very slight decline towards the canal and *splash*! Luckily,
the water was only 50cm deep, so I pulled up my sleeve and rescued my
poor uni.
Should have been for an action-photo, but the camera was blocked!

*A friend tried to idle on the rear platform of a treadle-boat... The
water was clear and warm and only 2m deep...

*Another friend rode along Danube-Canal in Vienna. There is a wide
asphalt-path along the canal with a 2m drop into the water. So lots of
space for unicycling... While riding one-footed, he tumbled and the uni
shot out underneath him and skid towards the Canal and into the dull
water. Remember: freestyle-unis do NOT float!
Some weeks (!) later, water-level was low enough to spot the sunken uni,
if you knew where it should rest! He managed to throw a kind of hook,
tied to a rope, between the spokes and pull out the uni. The crowd was
cheering!!


Sorry, no photos at all!
