Mountain Unicycling at Suicide/dead cow trail

Senior cyclist Terry "UniGeezer" Peterson braves the rocky trails at Suicide and dead cow trails in Thousand Oaks, Ca on 3/11/10. Got lost at one point, ran out of water, but luckily found my way out!

sucks everyone has to look at you like a clown, just a stupid stereotypye...

@Slappyiskool I don't hear that at all. Just the opposite, people alwas\ys have noce comments and are impressed. MUni is a true athletic sport, as much as mountain biking, except it's way more challenging and FUN! Also an incredible way to stay fit.

@ttt8699 yea im getting a unicycle tomorrow, but my parents are wondering if im going to join a circus, or be a clown, they are sort of skeptical, but I cant wait for it =D

@Slappyiskool They obviously don't have a clue that it's a legitimate sport. Show them some of my videos and other extreme uni videos. It's about as far removed from anything having to do with "clowns" or the circus, as it gets!

Dude I ride and I have never understood the leg pad things what are they for man, your not going to hit your leg on the crank!

@woowie987 Unless you ride rocky, steep and technical terrain like that--and that's my specialty since late 2005--or any other type of extreme unicycling, then you probably wouldn't wear protective gear like I do. But when you bail unexpectedly on rough terrain, you can mess up your knees pretty bad. And the shins are also protected against rocks and also pedal bites if your feet slip! Even the best riders on the planet wear them to prevent bad injuries.

Where is this trail?

And us mt. bikers always complain about not meeting attractive women on the trail. Seriously though, they were in to you, and you should be working that to the fullest! :D

@ttt8699 North East corner of New Mexico. Right by the four corners. It just snowed today again. Luckily it didn't stick so I might get some uni done this weekend.
