Kris Holm (the unicyclist) is amazing, I have some footage of him
riding on the North Shore in Canada. He does things you almost can't
believe even after you've seen them done!

Reasons why I'd attempt something like that:
-----------------------------------------------------
1) Some close family member is dying and I need the
money to pay for their medical treatment - which
money would be forthcoming whether I survived/
succeeded or not.

2) Somebody put a gun to my head

3) ???
-----------------------------------------------------

What makes these guys tick, anyhow?

"1500 feet! The longest run down a hill ever!" Huh? Are these guys
from Indiana or something? I've been down longer descents than 1500
feet (although certainly not on terrain like that).

After 37 years of bmx, mtb, road, track, etc, these guys make me
realize that I'm barely any better than the first day my dad took off
the training wheels....

Is that not only half a bicycle? ;)

Would greater spoke tension have saved the wheel?

I think the inference is that it was the longest downhill MTB run ever,
"downhill" in this case referring to the terrain type.

Come to think of it.... I think I did Mount Tantalus on Oahu both
up AND down in about two hours on my trusty 10-speed.

Having done the Cannell Plunge among many other long downhill runs, I
wondered about that, too. Maybe there's a distinction between rides on
trails and just hurtling down the mountain.

Dunno as that's true either (but, that said, I wouldn't have made it
down that run without wiping out).

Definitely not the longest mtb run ever considering I routinely ride
descents down farther than that in Colorado, on trails or jeep roads.
Maybe the longest 'free ride' run ever? Good smooth riding, albeit
damaging.

These two feature Kris Holm (on the unicycle) and Darren Berrecloth, two
riders who learned their moves in Vancouver and the North Shore.

Perhaps the reason he rides a unicycle off-road is that the province in
which he lives has made it illegal to ride one on the road.
