Monocycle Mayhem!!!

Dashing around the course on a single wheel at speeds that seem very unwise, taking hairpin turns while trying to maintain position, driver camera footage as well as drone footage... I have never seen anything quite like Monocycle Mayhem: Epic Battles Unleashed | 12 Thrilling Laps on Spanish Asphalt | Electric Unicycles [10m] It feels a bit chaotic at the start but by the midpoint I found it much easier to follow the narrative of the race. It's quite a thing to witness!
That's wild. There's a guy with one of these I see on my commute every once in awhile. I'm on my motorcycle thinking "that guy's nuts!" looks like a blast though.

I'm going to hop on my 20 year old Cannondale and shout at the clouds now.

Is it really a monocycle if you aren’t sitting inside the wheel?

That's amazing, and very well narrated, interesting how people move with handlebars too, I thought it was going to about this madly British form, also 1935!

How do you say "no" in Spanish? Oh, that's right, no.

A friend once told me, "Not only will humans continue to create new art, but there will always be new forms of art" and I will remember that until the day I die.
I should also add to that, "There will always be new forms of sport."
Thanks for posting this.
