Hey, maybe it was that guy from the Antarctic Research Station (er..
was it Marc Sands?) who used to contribute to this list? I checked
the Roster but don't see him there, and I checked my stored mail
but he's not in there either.. I don't have the full mailing-list
archives though. I just saw a question about this on
rec.sport.unicycling too, apparently he was cycling around the world!
(well, the pole..)

International TV is a good place to be for a unicyclist, though I
should mention that Danny Colyer got a front page picture in our local
paper the other day.. (complete with "Real Men Only Need One Wheel"
T-shirt :)

..as for me, I've never been famous, but I do have a T-shirt with
a picture of myself unicycling on the front..
