Edd Hawkes: How I started extreme mountain unicycling

Mad skillz yo, sick edit. Actually bloody impressive, don't think I'll be trying it!
Been about for years, seen a couple doing mayhem before...
Quite impressive, but then again, circus nerds can start to grate after a while...

From the guy in the video:
"Most people's only contact with unicycles is where they see it in a circus and it's automatically associated with clowns," he says.

Seems like unicyclists have an image problem. And that's from other cyclists. Wait until the Daily Heil get wind of this new psycho-clown craze sweeping our Countryside! - 'We've found cyclists who are so annoying that they even annoy regular lycra-loonies!'
Reader poll on so-called 'unicyclsts'. Should they:
A: Roam free in our Countryside on a single clown-wheel (with neither a bicycle bell or a license?)
B: Keep their annoying nerdy show-offy clown-'sport' in the big top where it belongs?
C: Buy a proper bike?
D: Grow up and buy a car?
Satire apart, I did meet (to photograph) a municyclist once - got the impression he was just a regular bloke. I see it (municycling) as some kind of extreme fixie option - offroad. Challenging, to say the least.
