Unicycling to better health!
Been riding since 2006 when I turned 50. Since then have logged over 25,000 miles and it has been an incredible life-changing experience.This is from 9.13.16. Nearly 600 more videos here.

whew ... I got out of breath and exhausted just watching that.
You must have to have extremely good balance .. and where are the brakes located? Looks a bit scary to me .. with an adrenalin rush fit to make hair go instantaneously grey.
I take it they're just ridden off-road?
It's funny you should post this as only last week I was amazed to see one of these daft contraptions go past me up the town High Street .. Never seen one before.
How unsafe! He was only a couple of feet off the road surface. And there was queue of traffic stuck behind it as the driver immediately behind him looked too nervous to overtake .. so was causing a tailback.

I also do a lot of road climbing on a 29" unicycle with wheel built especially for this purpose. But my main riding discipline is MUni. For that I ride either my 24", which has a 3" wide tire and hydraulic brake, or my 26er or new 27.5, both with disc brakes.
Here is fast-paced sampling of pure mountain unicycling:

I would have a problem climbing all those steps let alone going up on a unicycle
Will have a look through your videos as and when I have time
