Summary: The unicycle was developed shortly after the development of the bicycle in the mid-nineteenth century. Some think that the unicycle was developed as a result of the velocipede. Since the velocipede naturally went up on one wheel for a little bit, people began developing unicycles. Another theory is that unicycles have always been with us, living and breathing along with our souls since our collective memory's inception. Regardless, unicycles are now used at circuses and carnivals for entertainment. Whether you are performer looking to improve his act, or just someone interested in the challenge, these videos are just the thing for you.

Starting with the unicycle basics and moving onto more advanced moves, certain skills can be learned that will allow a unicyclist to ride off-road, upstairs, downstairs, off of curbs, over obstacles, and wherever else their legs will take them! In this free video series, a unicycle instructor will teach you how to do off-road unicycling, starting with stalling and idling and moving onto hopping and bunny hops. Soon, you'll find yourself jumping over branches, riding off of small and large drops, and going down flights of stairs. Have fun, but don't forget to wear a helmet!
