Japanese Dancing
This is an example of a very creative use of the unicycle. This little
Japanese girl is extremely talented at dancing with a unicycle. I think
it's fair to say that no one in Fairbanks has skills anywhere close to
her. Similar videos can be viewed on youtube.com
Riding
and
Turning
In this video I give an example of free mounting, riding, turning and
dismounting.
Idling
This is a short clip of me demonstrating Idling.
Fake Falling
More for amusement than anything else, I demonstrate what a beginner
might look like before they fall. (Don't worry, I don't actually fall.
In order to do this in the dorm lounge, the RA said I couldn't fall.)
Robot Riding a Unicycle
This is a rare clip of a robot unicycling. Because there is nothing
linear about riding a unicycle, it is very hard to make a model for it.
A rider stabilizes themselves by many dynamic movements created by the
rider's intelligence, flexibility, what they see, what they feel the
unicycle doing, and how they react. There are many more things that
rider's do in order to maintain stability that a robot cannot
comprehend and that is why this robot is so amazing.
Free Styling
(Kris Holm)
My Dad took Unicycling to a new level by pioneering the sport of
Mountain Unicycling and now Kris Holm has taken it a step farther into
what is now known as Free Styling. This is a short clip of some
of the amazing things Kris Holm can do with a unicycle.
