Just had this heads up from Kris Holm about the first unicycle front flip; he said that this kid had been practicing with a gymnastics couch in private for three months to pull it off. Looks pretty bizarre, and impressive no doubt. 

 

I guess perhaps on the same note, I’ll add one of my favorite juggling sequences, it’s simple (not in the moves and tricks, but the fact that it’s only three balls), elegant, and stylish. It’s set to music, so be sure you have the volume up. Enjoy!!! (Thanks Joan Jones for showing this video to me years ago while in Moab).

 

If you have ever seen unicycle trials, or mountain unicycling, you have probably watched Kris Holm. Through his passion for unicycling, and his incredible skills, he has helped fuel and create an extraordinary network of unicyclists, you’d be surprised at how many people around the globe are enthusiasts.

Kris holds a masters in Geology from UBC, and splits his time between being out in the feild as a geologist, and running his unicycle business called Kris Holm Unicycles. He has always said that “Unicycles are simple, building good ones is not”, that is why he has basically redesigned and re-engineered the entire thing from scratch, based on his real world experience (watch vid below).

I have known Kris for quite a long time now; we have performed dozens of shows together, and we have had some amazing sessions together on the beaches around Vancouver. So I just wanted to give a shout out to him and plug his new website; if for some reason you haven’t seen Kris in action, check out the youtube video below.

Way to go Kris, you’re rocking it!!!
