Fargo Hill climb Challenge...on a UNICYCLE!

[StairClimbLunatic]

@ttt8699 - Very impressive! You should do stair climbing events! There are people who run up the stairwells of tall buildings all around the country (and world). You clearly have the legs for it!

I'd hate to live on that street... but, great job.....and even though this was a few years ago ..I'm just getting around to watching it.. theres a clip of george peck climbing a hill that's pretty special.... I think he had a camera strapped to his other dog........... youtube ( Peck, George unicycling uphill Crown Point 1997 ),,

[ttt8699]

at the 3/6/11 annual Fargo climb, I became the first person in history to successfully climb Fargo street...on a UNICYCLE! And I did it twice! Go to my channel at ttt8699 and look for "Fargo Street Hill Climb 2011 "UNIGEEZER" MAKES HISTORY!"

why doesn't this have more views?!

[ttt8699]

@ollie97277 3,300 isn't bad compared to other videos of Fargo hill bike climbs.

[kbr2001]

the unicycle is the loneliest cycle

[ttt8699]

@kbr2001 That's why I keep it company!

Cool! What is the cross street? Where are you starting on Fargo street?

[dink65]

Nice job! You should have participated in the annual event they just lad last month.

[ttt8699]

@dink65 I would have, but didn't know about it. Nobody told me :(

[dink65]

@ttt8699 - Next year man. You'd blow minds out there since half who attempt it on bikes can't make it up.

Get on the email list of LA Wheelmen so you'll be "in the loop."

All the best.....

[ttt8699]

@dink65 Ok will do. Thanks!

[ttt8699]

@dink65 Do you know the DATE of when next year's hill climb will be???

[dink65]

@ttt8699 - I haven't done it since 2007, but it seems it generally falls on the 2nd or 3rd Sunday in March.

As a beginning unicyclist who's learning that going uphill is actually kinda fun once your legs start to get used to it, I gotta say, this is hella impressive! The amount of leg strength involved is already killer, and then the muscle stamina you need just to keep going, and on top of that, balancing while exerting that much force is HARD.

[lizzieswe]

Next time, you can try gliding down!

:D

[ttt8699]

Appreciate that! :)

Kudos, UniGeezer!

[digablesoul]

Awesome!!

[ttt8699]

Thanks!

I think you would have done better to have shot it with an unattended camera from the top, and if you would have asked me, I'd have been happy to shoot the video so I could zoom in on you at the bottom. Nice brute force effort and unicycle technique. What you did is nearly the opposite of what I was aiming to achieve with my special bicycle. I wanted to use engineering to make a straight ascent easier, and you used a unicycle to make the effort harder. Again: nice work!

[ttt8699]

This was just my first time there, and I do plan on coming back on a regular basis now that I know about the place!

And the main reason I wanted to attempt this-one of the steepest hills in the entire US- is precisely *because* it's hard, and because it's not usually done-if ever-on a unicycle!

[tabler1010]

Oh my god youre the man!

[ttt8699]

Haha thanks! I thing most ppl could do it if they really are determined.

[Eric333333333]

use 175mm cranks on a 20" trials

[ttt8699]

Why> When I can do it on a 24 with only 165's?

[magnuschubb]

u have 175 on a trials!!!!!

[ttt8699]

What? My trials has 137's and I didn't want to use it for that climb, since on a 20" uni--while still very challenging-is not nearly as hard as doing the climb on a 24" MUni.

[magnuschubb]

no Eric333333333 has 175 i tort 140 on a trials where long lol

[ttt8699]

Haha I just realized that you probably meant that as a QUESTION to the other guy about 175mm cranks on a tirals uni. (I'm guessing)

[magnuschubb]

yep lol but Thats a crazy hill well done :)

[ttt8699]

Thanks. I want to start going there at least a couple times a month, just for the challenge!

[SgtMik]

car garages must be full of broken cars from this hill!

[zse4376]

Holy crap! :)

[donn1999]

Just one question...HOW did you do that!?

[unidood24]

You're a MONSTER! Unbelievable!

[Spoonsnuggle]

amazing, terry! you are a wizard.
