- Watch my FIRST TRY with a 36" unicycle : • The biggest wheel for ...
This summer when the all world got shut down because of the pandemia, I discover Ed PRATT unicycle tour around the world channel. As I already ride unicycle for many years, I was astonished by this amazing way of adventuring the world.
So when all my usual festivals got cancelled, I realized that this summer 2020 might be my only opportunity to go for my own unicycle tour. Therefore, I bought my own touring unicycle and went for a tour around Estonia without any preparation.

Glad I served as a little inspiration...and a little clickbait haha! Great job with the vid Sylvian!
Hey Ed,
Thanks for watching. It cheers me up so much to see your comment this morning. The admiration I have for your work and the inspiration you gave me are honest. Six months ago I would not have imagine me going on such an adventure. And I have no idea about how I would have gone through this Corona time without this project.
Sorry for the clickbait. I didn't thought it would get me such a big fish as you ^^
Its fantastic isnt Edd, that someone took nspiration from you.
I want to unicycle across America but I got a kid and mortgage and doggos. . . But it's great to watch. Maybe the state eventually.
yea Ed inspired me too, I'm 64 , living in Australia, I had a 24 inch uni for many years but never really learned to ride it, after watching Ed I really want to master it and step up to a bigger one. good on you, just subscribed to your channel, go and get em
Niiice ! I so happy each time I see some people 60+ who start learning unicycle and go for adventure.
Have you heard about Hans Howald ? 70 years old and he made from norway to spain on uni !

"But uhhhh.. I don't know how..."
Speak of the devil, a mere two hours later, Ed uploads:
"How to travel on a unicycle"
That incredible timing
yeap yeap yeap! And he made it look easy.....
Good luck with your adventure!
👏🏼 haha great!
I am so gald the youtube algerthim gave me this video very hyped to watch it all. I need more uniclycle action as Ed is riding on 2 wheels now :(
Enjoyed the video! Keep it up :)
I'm a new unicyclist, but I can see that you really need to drop down a little lower with the back leg - bend it like a spring - so you can spring up better with full extension from your ankle. Use the rear leg and ankle well and you can do it easily.
I was going to do this starting this year or next but only across canada. Still going to happen but not sure when
Yeah. Hard to know when it will be possible to travel again. Luckily in europe, I think it will be possible to travel as long as I stay in one country. So next year, I'll do an other tour around Estonia :D
I saw you perform @ Noblessner. You're cool. Keep going!
Thanks. Lucky you ! You've saw one of my only show this summer. With the Pandemia I think I've don max 10 show this summer. But I rode around Estonia on my uni and that was tons of fun :D
You sound like you have a French accent but you are in Estonia it is weird (I just discovered your channel and if your name is Sylvain and you travel with a circus I guess it is possible that you are French). Anyway it was a cool video !
How do you feel with the 36 inches after more experience? Could you ride with all the gear?
Considering a 32 for touring with just a bit more maneuvering.
Now, I am ridding super smooth with the 36". I would recommend to go for 36 rather than 32. It will take couple week, then you'll feel confident maneuvring the 36 and you'll go faster :)
Why 36 inch wheel? Wouldnt smaller one be easier? :D
Smaller wheel is a bit easier to ride and a lot easier to mount. But a lot slower and as the plan was to ride 1000km around Estonia (which is very flat country). I think 36" was the "got to". I struggle a lot mainly because I never practice on a 36" before.
Consensus says anything smaller than 29" inch is too small for touring.
Lahe 👍. Kui palju episoode tuleb kokku?
Ma absoluutselt ei tea. Ma algusest motlesin et ma voiks teha umbes 10 episode.
But at the moment, I use my footage very slowly, And what I thought will do one episode is sometime enough for two or three. So I'll just edit the footage until, I don't enjoy doing it anymore (but I don't think this will happen). Or until I don't have footage anymore (And when it happen, I'll ride the second half around Estonia ! ).
You shoud't use t-bar for mountig, catch later.
Interesting. I just start holding as it was there... So mean mean you hold the saddle when you get on the uni ?
@@SylvainOULALA for mounting try to use standard handle
@@szymjak Funny, I was thinking of your advice today while riding. And my problem is that I have the saddle kriss holmes Fusion one without handle. So I have no real place to hold the uni by the saddle, Plus I have the break on the handle bar and if I hold the unicycle from the saddle it can happen very easily that I push the brake while mounting...
I'm not sure what's the best solution here. After watching Ed Pratt with attention I noticed that he indeed get on the uni holding the saddle.
@@SylvainOULALA so try to catch t bar as close to seat as possible
Man, and I thought Ryan Van Duzer's helmet straps were bad!
Please, Mr. Oulala, fix those straps! The way they are now, you might be better off NOT wearing a helmet. Right now, wearing it gives you a false sense of security. It won't do much if you take a header!
First, helmet needs to sit level on your head, not so far back like you're wearing it.
Second, the two straps coming down need to connect below your ear lobes.
Third, the chin strap needs to be snug. As snug as is tolerable. Ideally, the helmet should pull down when you open your mouth wide.
Fourth, adjust fore and aft ear straps so they hold the helmet level - they should both be taught.
I hope this helps others realize proper helmet fit involves a good size and shape shell for your head and THEN proper strap adjustment. If you get both right, a helmet will serve you well!
Bon Voyage, Mssr. Oulala!
Thanks for the advices mate ! I fixed this later on during my trip.
@@SylvainOULALA Nice! Glad to hear.
I have never ridden an unicycle. Seeing you struggle with it, makes me realize even more, how crazy Ed Pratt is.
Yep, more I was going on with this tour more I realize how INSANE is Ed. He was carrying 40 kg of gears !
