Fool's Fest 2013

Lots of unicycling and juggling at the 2013 April Fools Juggling Festival in Tallahassee, FL. This is one of my favorite places to unicycle with all sorts of trails, jousting, racing, and overall awesome stuff happening all weekend...

Gainesville Unicycle Festival 2013

Here's some unicycling around Gainesville during the 2013 Gainesville Unicycle Festival...

NYC Unicycle Festival 2013

For the second year in a row, I made the trip from Florida up to the New York City Unicycle Festival. Here's some video I edited together from the weekend:
Highlights from the festival included:

• Putting people up on my giraffe for the first time on the way up to the festival during a stop in DC. Putting people on a giraffe that aren't accustomed to the height is always fun for reactions.
• The ride from Manhattan to Coney Island (of course).
• Being asked to be part of the festival's public show, twenty minutes before the show started. We did some club passing and then passing on unicycles. We ended up being the grand finale of the show, which was extremely intimidating. I can now say I've performed in a festival like this!
• We joined up with a night-bike ride through Central Park on Saturday night after the festival. I don't think I've ever ridden so fast trying to keep up with bikes on a 24" unicycle and ended up getting an amazing tour of the park. Soon we left the park and toured parts of the city that I never knew existed. I have no clue where we went. We passed through a really nice scenic overlook that provided a completely different New York skyline. We rode through parts of Harlem. We rode along the Hudson River. It ended up being about 13 miles, for the second time in two days. This ride was exhausting, but also amazing.
• Crossing a seesaw on a unicycle. This was some of the most extreme unicycling I've ever managed...

I'd most definitely do this trip again!
