    Filmed 6.5.14 at Santiago Oaks regional park in Orange, CA.

    The section of trail ridden in this video is one of the most brutally unforgiving and insanely technical of anything I've ever ridden. It's a steep, unrelenting river of rock that will beat you up and spit you out! But it's a heck of a fun challenge for sure! Over 40 separate camera setups were required, yielding about 60 clips of raw footage. Had to sort through it all and piece it together during the edit. Hope you enjoy, "like" and comment!

    PS: Watch in HD and full screen if you can!

    That trail is hard enough on two wheels, much less one...I can't even imagine... I'll probably never clean it on 2 wheels with a full suspension bike, much less a unicycle...

    But what really hit me by watching this video, for some reason, is the simple fact that you rode this trail time after time after time... I have only done that when I was attending a clinic... I need to do that more often--be willing to session a trail repeatedly, especially something that's giving me trouble.

    I've been too impatient, not willing to take the time to progress. I've gotten comfortable in my intermediate mediocrity.

    Kudos to you, Unigeezer. You know how to suffer and earn more than most on two wheels. While some may see your posts as self-aggrandizing and annoying; frankly, you earn the respect you do get, if not from the remarkable skill you've attained, then at least from your tireless efforts to get better despite growing older.

    I hope I'm riding half as good, on twice the wheels, as you when I am your age!
