so your the guy who makes everything harder for themselves

No way I can but man there is a guy who went down a mountain with tons of shale and could do it. Bottom line you’re much closer than I will ever be! Keep posting!

Heck yeah

For those wondering - yes you can. I once slid about 15 feet while unicycling over an icy patch on the road. By some miracle I didn’t fall off. So more or less - it’s possible but pretty dangerous and super scary, plus it’s hard to practice

Glad i came across this. I've been trying to do my squats upright for forever but it never seemed to feel good, making my squat my worst lift. I recently experimented a session with doing a little bit more of a forward lean, basically setting up with a slight lean and maintaining the angle throughout, and squatting has never felt so good and complete, my erectors got a little bit more work than before but i felt like i could get tighter and push harder with my legs, and my quads still felt decently active and actually i felt everything else better as well. One of my ankles has less rom and that hip is also higher and i think because of that my squats have always been unbalanced but focusing on leaning maybe like 5 degrees really changed everything and actually feels therapeutic.

Do you happen to know if there is a freewheel hub that would work with a Nimbus Hatchet 26 inch Muni?

This is not how you mount the unicycle you want it to line up with the fork

Great video on how to use the hand brake. This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on unicycle braking techniques. Thanks for sharing your skills with us all. Now I have to go out and practice riding downhill myself. You have amazing skills and strength. 👍

mate, you're the unicycle crash test dummy, definitely not a dummy, but you put your body through so much to bring us these videos. Another great lesson, and so well edited. I felt your pain on that fall half way through, that must have hurt, loved the brave smile through all the pain as you were clawing your way back up the hill. Great work as always Dan. Good on ya mate.

I have a Qu-Ax 27.5 steel frame unicycle with Magura rim brake. I have no experience with disk brake . I was wondering if you have more control on a downhill with a disc brake. it is sometimes difficult to dose with your finger on the brake lever because the pressure causes the wheel to press too much against the pads and the braking force is sometimes unpredictable, so you lose control. Greetings from Belgium

Another great video, Dan - thank you!

Love your videos! The mix of physics and good unicycle tips is awesome! 🤩 Keep up the good work.

Why don’t you get one of those taller unicycles and use that to put a lick of paint on that ceiling. Sounds like the most fun way to do that lol

Oh hell yea that is scary step on a uni! 🔥

What size unicycle did you use for the over head press video?

My hero

the last one doesn't seem steep, and for a mountain biker it probably isn't. but on a unicycle it seems so much scarier. Using the brake in a controlled manner and reducing the pressure on some parts while driving downhill and then increasing the pressure again is not easy. and especially if it is technical downwards. I like the videos you make.

3:00 it takes a bit of practice but you can almost drive in a straight line on a unicycle. You even don't need any arms to balance. Was a great feeling driving on my 29" with handlebar and just keeping both hands on the bar and only balancing from the hips.

Thanks so much for the great tutorial. I'll try your tips on jumping.

What wheel size is best for beginner ?

I had same tire problem on mine 19" street set-up as far as could check it's because tires edge eroded (due to heat and jumping) so it's just a bit bigger than it should. In mine case this failure happened couple of times I just repleaced the tire. Probably landing a jump with your wheel perpendicular to riding direction started this issue. I spoked about tires with couple of riders and generally fat tires are not preferred for jumping because when your tire is wider then the rim it feel stiff on flat ground but it's soft on uneven surface, common problem is to adjust tire pressure so it would be a bit bouncy and able to land a jump on smth like root or stone. I would recommend smth beetween 3.0"-2.6" tire for your riding style. Generally it's good to try riding on couple different tires get the idea. I started with WTB (smth) 3.0" with round profile, i didn't liked that, now i'm riding on 3.0 maxiss high roller but as i get better with drops i'm considering 2.8-2.6

yoo thanks bro!

as a novice rider(5-6 months) who just learned free mounting, your videos are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing!

Glad to see the knee and elbow pads, Dan..... No gloves?

Weird man, I wonder if it has something to do with the tire size or bead. Looks like a typical Nimbus and tire for said Nimbus though. I have been less than impressed with their build quality or engineering myself, so much so that I went and bought a mad4one just to be able to ride when it breaks or the other way around.

is this the peak male physical condition?🧐

Cool ❤ fist me with both hands

bro are you even wearing underwear, i can clearly see you’re packing

Insane

This is why, in my opinion men are cooler, also as a fact, why men die quicker.

Great video, Dan! Another in a long line of them.

It looks like you’re trying to get injured.

On it's own that is a solid overhead press, on it's own riding a unicycle is difficult, combined WTF that's impressive

Unicyclists and mimes, man!!!???? 🤔🤨😖😵‍💫🫣🤐😂😂😂

Below average badminton warm up

Dude your 40 the dumb days are over, quit before your paralyzed

Holy shit this is impressive

Dan, you are cray cray. I think all that strength work pays off when you take the falls and don't get injured.

When that inner tube busted out it looked like your unicycle had a hernia lol

Im curious, is it just necessary to have such a large range of pedaling motion in order to balance?

Came here from Dr. Mike. Those leverages are... Mind-boggling. Pretty sure that makes me want to learn it now.

This tip along with your others were exactly what I needed. Thank you. Struggling to inflate to the end, but I've found I can work the air down manually and reinflate the middle easily. Again, thank you.

Duro Crux is great for this! Nice jump mate!

That's a question I get asked a lot :) We don't do it because it is easy!

2:53 Not push "down". Shift/slide the pedal forwards. Not too much. Just to 1 o'clock, and keep negative pressure on the down foot (now at 7 o'clock). Then 2'oclock....so on and so forth. Got it. It's not about cranking down on the pedal to make it go forwards. It will go forwards just by slowly rotating the pedals. Speed does not equal balance. It's about slow controlled "turning" of the wheel shaft, and keep back/negative pressure to "not speed up". Later when you get advanced and try idling or backwards riding, you will understand. Again, you don't "pump/press down" this is not a bicycle. Keep on.

That jump test is literally genius. You helped me resolve a nonstop issue I was having. Thank you!

Very helpful, thanks man! 😀 also, it seems you have tons of cool tricks to do at parties

badminton training

This video helped so much! I had trouble peddling before, but with the things I just learned, I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon enough.

Always amazed by the way you explain. It’s so easy to understand. I wish I had known this channel when I just started unicycling. Two thumbs up, man! Keep it up.
