Riding the 8 foot and 8 foot zigzag for the first time! fun...fun...fun

In our club, we call Dave Bagley's uni the Crabcycle. He had it built by
Tommi Miller. It has a gearbox that converts his pedaling 90 degrees so
that he pedals forward but it rides sideways. The wheel is set 90
perpendicular to the seat.

Why stroll...when you can roll?

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every moment of it!

If you fail at unicycling or unicycle tricks, try again, when you try
again. You will never fail.

Yeah im still looking for a real picture....

And John i live in Bowling Green Ohio and i am part of the Wow one
wheelers group(Wow)

Our club is falling apart right now and we only have 3 people that are
past level five.....but there are only like 10 people that actually try
to pass levels...... Jan our club leader is getting cranky and we are
loosing people also the only advertisement we have for our club is a
one by one ad in the newspaper in December .....sad huh

Well my friend April is borrowing the eight foot and eight foor zigzag
from a past wow member that does not use them anymore.......

I hope someday one of us can but them off of the person

And if anybody has any way to help our club please tell me!

It is sad how we are falling apart....i read somewhere that we used to
be the best around and that we had 150+ members and i dont want to let
the club fall apart anymore.............thankz

I saw this crazy mad perfomer ride a very tall jig-zag girraffe as part
of his performance at the Brighton Fringe Festival. In the unicycle
part, he was balancing a full glass of water on top of his head, idling
the 8-foot tall unicycle and juggling three metal baseball bats. It was
rather impressive.

He did a lot of other good stuff too. I wish I knew his name.

Sounds like Peter Rosendahl's "sideways giraffe." That's what I call it,
not sure what he calls it. Never seen it in person, but it would be
cool, especially in a spin!

wow, that looks hard! I had in idea to make something like that, but
there was another seat on the other side, so it was a 2 person giraffe!
It looked very complicated though.
