When did you start unicycling and why:
I started to unicycle in 2007. I first got a unicycle in 6th grade. At first I was excited, but then realized how hard it was, and put it down. In the 8th grade I landed a 180 unispin, and began to land new and bigger things. In 08-09 I began to explore street. I found it so much more fulfilling than flatland, and have commited myself to it. I began to realize that the street scene was losing riders to flatland. I wanted to start street, but wanted to bring new tricks that are being landed on flat to the sets. So I began trying bigger tricks, and trying to push my limits and the streets limits. The bigger you go the more fun you have, and I try to live by that.
Go big or go home!
Why do you like to ride:
I like to ride because it’s one of the only ways I feel happy. I unicycle to relieve stress and to push my limits. I love landing new things, getting new ideas, and making videos.
