History of Unicycle Riding

Again I am Kevin Barrett and I am here with Expert Village. Showing you how to ride a unicycle. Now a little history on me. I have been unicycling since I was about 12 or 13 years old. Why would I get into unicycling? It seems like the most ridiculous thing in the world. One day I was like hey. I want to learn how to ride 1/2 a bike and I didn't have enough money to buy a full bike. So I decided to talk to my dad and he. Brought me down to one of the bike shops. This guy went into the back. He actually found this unicycle that had been gathering dust for a couple years. Nobody in their right mind would want to use one of these. So he gave it to me for about $100. Which is this one right here. This is my very first unicycle. It's not much. It's very rusty and it's gotten a lot of work. I actually went into the back yard and for one whole day from sunrise to sunset I worked on this unicycle. And you better believe by the end of that first day. I was up and running. Now this isn't necessarily right or safe but it usually takes a couple months for somebody to get an expert at unicycling. I fell down a lot. I learned a lot of things about safety and I got a lot of bruised knees and bloody skulls from my learning unicycle. I am going to teach you the safe way to ride a unicycle in this Expert Village documentary.
