On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Paul Anderson from the ABC Circus and we are in
Hollywood, Florida, and I'd like to show you some things about unicycles. Here are some
tall unicycles that come in strange forms. This one is a 3 wheeled unicycle. This one
comes from Semcycle in Holland, and this one is a walking unicycle known as the thing.
A couple things about the 3 wheeled unicycle. Each wheel turns the opposite direction. This
one goes forward and this one goes backwards. You see the pedals are going just the opposite
of the top pedals. On a 3 wheel, the bottom wheel is going to go in the same direction
as the top wheel. When I pedal forward, I go forward. When I pedal backwards, I go backwards.
On a 2-wheel unicycle, now that's difficult. When I pedal forwards, I go backwards. When
I pedal backwards, I go forwards. It's hard to get your brain to think of everything in
reverse. Now, the thing. Watch the feet move as I pedal the unicycle. It's as if I'm walking
down the street. Good luck trying to ride this thing. On behalf of Expert Village, I'd
like to say thank you for watching.
