new homemade unicycle

yes, you guessed it, i made another dodgey unicycle. this one took me 24
minutes to build. it's got a 7.5" rim and 40mm cranks. it's really,
really hard to ride, the furthest i got was 5metres after about 4
minuts of riding. does anybody else have any really, really small
wheeled unicycles?

UNICON 2002 in Seattle.

When I learned to ride, I was in a youth circus. We had a bunch of
crazy unicycles.. one of the tamest of which was a small wheeled one.
They called it a helicopter wheel.. we were led to believe that's what
the wheel came from, not sure how true that was.

It was tough to ride as you had to make corrections way faster to keep
up with it. Nobody was going to win any races on it

I wish I had pictures of that collection though.. some crazy stuff they
had...

A silly unicycle similar to this was lurking in the hall on Saturday
night at the British Unicycle Convention. I guess it was a 'trainer
12\" unicycle' (http://tinyurl.com/7b7lc) with a ridiculously long
seatpost to make it adult height.

Riding it around was absolutely hilarious; I couldn't stop laughing,
not helped by the fact that it squeaked as I plodded along. I didn't
find it hard to ride and I could even idle it, although obviously it
was completely impractical for going anywhere.

I never found it who's it was...

can you ride that thing? if you can i'm sure it would take forever to
get anywhere you wanted to go. not really a "fastest time from point a
to point b" type of uni, huh?
