Life on a Unicycle

I set out to make this video because a friend suggested i make a video for the UAF film festival. So this is my short film i made for this competition. I'll let everyone know how it did after April 2nd!
The Drone i used for this video: amzn.to/2AfqEj5
The 4k Camera i used for this video: amzn.to/2zWH6Ss
Comment below your favorite part of the video and give it a thumbs up if you liked it!
Also, big thanks to Emily Knapp for filming most of this video for me as i unicycled around our campus.
Have an awesome day everyone!

treadmill is the best part

[@drfuzzee]

This video is the anti click bait video because it is exactly what the title promises!

[@lukeares1165]

A tip : you can watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.

[@brunoduncan2381]

@Luke Ares yup, been watching on Flixzone} for months myself :)

[@drfuzzee]

@@brunoduncan2381 Nice try guys!

I started unicycling 4 months ago. Since then my record is a 16.8 mile ride in 3 hours on my 29". Ever since I started watching unicycle related videos on youtube, this has been my favorite. I showed to my friends too :D This vid really is great, I wouldn't be surprised if you got a job in film after this.

[@david_bueno2264]

Wow this video has to be my favorite that I have ever watched! I absolutely love it! The cinematic shots are outstanding, not to mention the amazing amount of control you have while riding! Keep it up, man, and I really mean it! This is HAS to be my favorite video that I have watched and will watch for a while!!!!! Best of luck in the future, man

[@Candyapplebone]

Yeah same here dude

[@Niborino9409]

Extreme balance! Definitely going to get a unicycle instead of a skateboard for city travels :D

[@ontarga]

Brilliant, loved every frame.

[@deanaustin1806]

Got to show my girlfriend this video. Maybe she'll be influenced to learn to ride a unicycle. I've been trying to learn for 2 weeks. It's pretty hard.. Love when you pedal with one foot great video

[@porkymilwaukee]

Since this comment was 2 years ago, how is unicycling going

[@jboquiren1]

The world will be a better place if we all rode unicycles :)

[@akblueberry104]

Beautiful aerial shots!

[@dtrg65]

lmao the distressed snowy downhill, the music killed me. nice skill, wholesome production lol

[@missiledropkick6450]

Boss. I ride an electric unicycle. I should ride the normal ones too. Thanks for making it look = cool.

[@BoyZZSmart]

it's not easy to start learning a normal one frankly.

[@adrianjabs5752]

It's refreshing to see a nice innocent happy clip online !👍👍

[@artzmove571]

Haha! Very cool! Love the treadmill part.

[@laurendavis883]

This is such a great vid! really out of the box thinking! :))

[@_Dohoss]

Awesome video!

[@JamesMorganVTT]

That video was a blast!

[@JoelGibsonBagelator]

I was watching this thinking that it looked familiar the whole time... Then I saw the wood center and was like "THATS UAF!" 😂

[@kyles217]

Surprisingly good quality video

[@MichiganRocks]

I subscribed to your channel while doing some research before buying a GoPro. Then I found this unicycling video. I learned to juggle and unicycle in college and taught my son to unicycle. He’s much better than I am. I have some pretty good videos of him unicycling on my channel, but your video is awesome.

[@MichiganRocks]

The Alaskan Outsider That’s great. I can juggle fire while riding, I can ride backwards, and idle, but if I hit the slightest bump, I go down.

[@MichiganRocks]

Check out my son unicycling around Michigan State University. He wasn’t a student there, we were just there for the day for something else. He’s pretty good. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHW1hmaIbJ2Ces0

[@deanaustin1975]

Great video very inspirational

[@itsbryanks7835]

Great video man!!! Keep it up 😊

[@user-qe3uq1mk8k]

Классное видео!

[@pomimyhomie]

Lol the lady in 6:47 xD Great video!

[@breeakobernick4677]

So cool

[@majakflow]

Really well made video

[@mamy-yen]

Génial....❤️❤️

[@oleojumper144]

Great film! But you don't need a car to go shopping when you can go by the unicycle to the markets!

[@TheAlaskanOutsider]

haha that's true!

[@Gregorstuff]

great video

[@bigboypiers.0294]

Unicycle lover

[@eveoff]

I was expecting an EUC but i wasnt disappointed. The disappointing part was that you didnt drive your car with a unicycle.

[@eveoff]

@@TheAlaskanOutsider NP, Nice entertaining video! Did you try EUCs btw?

[@bargawy6022]

Good I like it 😁

[@xSuperFryx]

I’m jealous of that hopping up the stairs maneuver! How’d ya learn that?

[@Oridemic]

Old comment, but it’s a technique called pecking. Basically just takes some practice hopping with the unicycle. It also needs lower tire pressure to pull off well.

[@lorenzocurti646]

goooood

[@ImmyCann]

Awesome stuff dude👏What is the size of your Unicycle?

[@enviedshark6635]

Awesome video! What unicycle is that? Is that a 24 inch?

[@barracudamax3372]

YOU THE MAN BRO!. How long have you been riding?. I haven't been on one since high school, just started back. It's like starting from scratch.

[@barracudamax3372]

Must be nice LOL

[@Gm_TT]

it's totally normal. thank you man!

[@TheStephensonGrechFamily]

great vid, have just subbed to you,

[@nevadahiker6661]

Really cool video! Have you heard of George Peck, the magistrate down in Seward? If you do a google or youtube search there are videos and articles about him! I used to see him uni-cycling on the boulders down by the beach!

[@nevadahiker6661]

I found an archived video that Channel 2 News did of him back in '98. One of the many local oddities that Seward had back in those days! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZSWlH2Fns-sbZI

[@infinigama]

Wanted to make the same video, but need to learn more)

[@joshthecoolyard8771]

Hey man, just started with my unicycle and was wondering a few things. 1. How are you staying idle without moving, is this a trick or am I stupid? 2.could you possibly give me a few tips on how to steer the unicycle? because I'm at the point where I can ride far but I cannot steer. 3.what size wheel are you on and is it as practical to unicycle as it would be to longboard? Thanks!

[@joshthecoolyard8771]

Josiah Martin I was referring to 2:18 but now that I re watched the scene I realize that you were balancing on the desk/wall. Anyway today was my third day on a unicycle and it's real hard man, I tried to lean into the turns like you said and after about 30 min I got it! On a side note how long have you been riding? And also I found that on my first two days I got a lot of weird looks as I expected but what I did not expect was how many people passed me and gave me points because they knew how to ride, which leads me to the how did you start riding (saw someone riding, knew someone riding, just randomly started, etc...). Btw thanks for responding so fast yesterday, your video was awesome and so I thought it deserved a sub and like!

[@quintonbates5281]

He got into his car like Gumby

[@user-yp4tn5rp7d]

очень круто

[@porkymilwaukee]

What unicycle is that?

[@somerandomretard8283]

My unicycle pedals have spikes, when I started, those spikes destroyed my feet and legs, so I can't ride it bear foot or I'll be dead

[@sammoretti5625]

i bet its great for your back/core

[@allstuffoutside]

how do you go down stairs so easily? I was born in alaska too.

[@allstuffoutside]

​@@TheAlaskanOutsiderThanks i admire you skill, i am buying a kh24 soon.

[@TheRok]

Ok, I have a serious question: Can you actually commute on unicycle in snowy conditions? You know, when a bit of the snow turns icey, and a bit of the ice turns into water, and it's a slime fest?

[@TheAlaskanOutsider]

I mean it wouldn't be pleasant. But if it's a wider tire unicycle like the one i have, then it's possible. Ice and going up hill is very challenging though because you slip out a lot. Studded tires is always an option.

[@TheRok]

@@TheAlaskanOutsider If a studded tire helps that's actually promising. Thank you for sharing this experience.

[@lilamohamedislem3269]

Salem alikoum i love jour vidéo like

[@jumpropestairs6129]

is that a nimbus?

[@urthpainter]

you would be terrifying on a Gotway Monster

[@alekseyalexej9665]

Do the same thing, only on an electric unicycle! And so it's just clownery.

[@isaakguir3530]

lol

[@tjarlie8092]

like this video make a new one sorry for my englisch i hope that you understand my i com from the netherlands

[@Gian-luigii]

Like si te pasa lo mismo cuando vas a tus clases. 😂😂🤣

[@user-ec4xz3zs6p]

I'm getting tired just watching this

[@owenjupp8058]

he wasn't on the unicycle in the car, clickbait that's a joke

[@netsaosa4973]

lmao

[@AzeShorts]

dude you should upgrade and get an electric unicycle :) (NO WAIT, search on these before discarding this comment: inmotion, kingsong or a even a gotway if youre a speed devil :) YOU WONT REGRET A SINGLE SECOND

[@AzeShorts]

hmmm.. i dont know i just looked at some electric unicycles coming from a bike.. and i was instantly amazed by the idea and it takes a little time to learn but once you get it its so practical i got my self a gotway wich can go 50 kph! (not necesarry) it also costs 1400 dollars... but you can easily find a kingsong 14d for example wich is a very budget freindly electric unicycle and it can go 30 kph and is pretty cheap if you think thyre expensive. its all worth it not just the fun but the practicality! and you will be speeding by the bikes daily :)

[@AzeShorts]

they are self balancing so if a surface is too slippery then you can have some issues but i have driven in snow no problem as long as its not ice and youre not doing sudden movements or if you ride in mud and i usually enjoy on my way to school i have this long road with speed limit of 50 kph and then i ride on bike path up on side of cars :D oh the looks they give me! :D ( one filmed me with his phone) unforgetable but if you want ofroad you will need a little larger wheel size but i can reccomend that you just get some money until you can buy a descent one with a good size

[@AzeShorts]

i once drove past a dirtbike haah i tried to ride infront of me buut... turns out i wasnt going full speed oh that look he gave me ahahah probably buyers remorse for buying a 1500 dollar dirtbike :D and not a futuristic one wheeled teleportation device (speed)

[@AzeShorts]

i will soon be edititng a little video of me on my electric unicycle i will send you a link in this comment :)

[@AzeShorts]

but first i have to get my lazy brain running and get a selfie stick so i can film myself but i gotta say.. damn you ride that thing like a pro!

[@demosthenes995]

Awesome video, i wish to be this good someday. I live in Alaska as well, and I learned how to ride a unicycle a few months ago. All my friends think it's weird and repetitive that I spend my whole lunch just doing laps in the parking lot. However, the thrill and adrenaline is somehow never lost while riding!
