Unfortunately we have some bad news about Monday night practices ...

We just received word from St. Josephat's that they have denied our request for a gym permit as they feel we damaged the floor last year by leaving tire scuff marks. Unfortunately this was the first we heard about their concerns.

As a result Monday night practices have been TENTATIVELY CANCELLED until further notice.

We may be able to get the gym back if we can assure the school that we use non-marking tires, pedals and shoes. Darren Bedford is in the process of sourcing non-marking tires.

Effective immediately for ALL indoor gym practices, ALL riders must use unicycles with plastic pedals or pedal caps and wear non-marking indoor only shoes (no street shoes permitted).

Read on for some suggestions on shoes ...

Be sure to checkout the Columbia Sportswear website and keep your eyes peeled to the television as they are featuring Dan Heaton in their latest ad compaign.

Way to go Dan!

It looks like what many thought was impossible has now been done ... landing a front flip on a unicycle.

Adrien Delacroix managed to land, although, not perfectly clean a front flip while competing in the street comp preliminaries. The whole thing was caught on video. Here's hoping that he's made it on to the next round so that he can land it cleanly next time around.

UNICON (The World Championships of Unicycling) started only a few days ago and already we have a new world record. Chuck Edwall from the USA finished first in the 10km unlimited race with a time of 20:01.40 (that's almost 30km/h on a unicycle). He was riding the new KH36 with a Schlumpf geared hub. Beau Hoover, also from the USA placed second almost 1:30 behind Chuck with a time of 21:33.10.

Congratulations riders!
