标签: unicycle

My chum Alvin sent me an email with the subject Things you wish you could do .   Alvin is a man of few words -- he likes to make each one count -- so his email simply contained a one-line link to this video on YouTube. "OMG!" is all I can say. Some of the things the folks in this video are doing make you gasp with astonishment and squeal in delight.     All of these clips are amazing, but one that really caught my eye was the guy flying through the air on the unicycle at 2"05' into the video. This took me back deep into the mists of time (cue harp music) to when I'd just purchased my own off-road unicycle. Sad to relate, this little beauty is currently leaning and languishing against the wall in the Pleasure Dome (my office).     Now I've seen the People are awesome video, however, I'm starting to feel a tad guilty that my poor little unicycle has been denied the opportunity to fulfill its role in life. I'm tempted to dust it off and take it out for a spin (look for my next column to be posted from a hospital bed).
