I'm a (65-year-old) newbie who quickly learned off-road unicycling is more fun than on-road. I've watched tons of muni videos and had visions of being able to do the cool things that you experienced guys can do. But then I found your channel - and it made me realize there is a LOT more to mountain unicycling than just pointing yourself downhill. Your videos are true to the muni experience and include the real challenges -- and falls -- that come with the sport. I now know the last thing I need to do is head to the mountain bike trail. I thank you for that, Dan - because I just don't want or need the injuries that I know are sure to come. So I'll stay on my benign trails and live vicariously - but not at all regrettably - through you. Appreciate you, brother.
This is such a thoughtful comment. Thank you for this! I agree there are some super impressive people out there that make it look easy. I think the problem solving aspect of what lines to hit and how to approach obstacles is a little more pronounced in mountain unicycling compared to biking but yeah- it’ll definitely beat you up. I wouldn’t quite give up on your muni vision yet. We all can’t be Kris Holm or Ryan Kremsater but it still can be worthwhile. Totally get that though hahaha!
Oh Dan, love your videos mate, don't like seeing people get hurt, but seeing all your fails inspires me to keep working on my riding no matter how many times I fall, and I'm only on a flat surface. You're a legend buddy. Love your work.
Thank you for the kind words! Idk what it says about me that I more or less feel more accomplished after getting thrown around like that but it is what it is. I think this is common amongst the Uni community
Awesome video! I have ridden that trail (on a mountain bike) a bunch and it is brutal and relentless. I just started trying to ride a unicycle literally 3 days ago and can’t imagine ever taking it to Little Sister, especially how it’s going so far.
That trail is no joke. It IS relentless. Hey man, good for you for learning something new. I bet eventually it’ll look more and more doable as you progress.

love the narration & hearing your thought process on the trail - hoping to see more videos like this (:
Appreciate it, Owen. That’s the dream. Your same thoughts would be incredibly valuable, too
I bet your wrists loved all those spills 😂😅 cool stuff
Oh man. I luckily had that wrist guard and it saved me a lot of pain. I did limp out of there though
Beautiful title
And it’s so accurate😩🤣

Thank you for the love, Ken! You’re the man.
Inspiring to see you challenge yourself and try again and again until you get it or get too beat up. Thank you for a great video!

@@HoboDan thanks! If you’re ever in New England again and need a trail guide let me know!
@@Pedals_n_Pints Oh you know I'm going to take you up on that. I'm originally from New England but definitely haven't explored like I should have
