Mountain Unicycling Is Real ... Nuts: Gotta-see Video
 

I would hurt myself very badly if I ever tried that

A seat with an airbag!

Be cool to try but I think I'll pass the mountain variant. At least if you fall off you can fall onto your feet.

Ah, now I know why you see secured bicycles with one wheel having been stolen so often over here.

A circus guy told me years ago about the standard giraffe unicycle, the seat of which is six feet off the ground. I asked him how anyone could get on such a thing, and he simply replied that it was called “mounting.” Yeah, okay. Here’s a video explaining and demonstrating that. And, of course, clowns juggle while riding these things!
