If you’re a forum regular here you’re probably familiar with uni_geezer, the crazy mountain unicycler who posts his video exploits online from time to time. Apparently he’s not the only one who’s caught the bug for wheel on dirt: check out Kris Holm, a mountain unicycler who has ridden his muni everywhere from the Great Wall of China to White Rim in Moab to the top of Mount Orizaba in Mexico. Not content with that, Holm has signed himself up for the multi-stage mountain BC Bike Race from Vancouver to Whistler at the end of the month.
It’s hard to imagine the stamina and endurance this ride will take and we’re rooting hard for him to beat at least one rider on two wheels. One thing is for sure, if there’s a muni category in the race, Holm should certainly take first place!
Sidebar: Are we the only ones who think mountain bike races have gotten out of hand with sub-category winners? In the old days there were 2-3 divisions (pro/expert/beginner) and first through third at each level got recognized. Now there are age group winners, single speed winners, clydesdale winners, etc. Where does it end? Categories for the color of your bike? 1×9 and 29er divisions? FS vs. hardtail?
Anyway, we’re pretty sure Kris isn’t doing the BC Bike Race for the kudos – clearly he’s the kind of guy who is into pushing limits to see what he’s capable of. Stay tuned for the results!
