Re: Ultra Tall Unicycles

I've know Steve McPeak for years -- he stayed in my house and I saw his
101 footer in Vegas. He told me that he plans to build an extension
to double the height of his 101 footer. But then again, Steve said many
things that never happened ...

I've also heard rumors that Sem Abrahams or his father are now working on
a tall one to beat the current record. Sem was in Japan some years ago
when I arranged for his ride on the 21-meter unicycle, which was then the
world record. He and his father told me a couple of times about plans
to build a 100 meter unicycle, if my ears served me right.

If they're really going to do that, maybe somebody should get Sem to
ride during the opening ceremonies of UNICON VIII in Germany! What
better way to get attention, eh?

Enough of my Sunday morning rambling ....

BTW, what is the correct way to post something? "unicycling@mcs.kent.edu"
or "MAILER-DAEMON@mcs.kent.edu"? I wonder if this one arrived ...
