Chicks on Off-road Unicycles!!!

I ran across this picture on a unicycle forum that I frequent. I thought it was cool because the person was riding in the snow and it's a CHICK!!! For those of you that don't know much about mountain unicycling, it is a great sport. Sure it looks odd at first, but I will guaranty you that if you spend the time it takes to learn, you will get addicted. There is a lot to know about Mountain Unicycling.

The wikipedia definition says...
The mountain unicycle (also called a muni) is a unicycle that has either been constructed or modified for mountain unicycling. Mountain unicycles typically use a 24" or 26" mountain bike or downhill tire, have a handle under the front of the seat, and may also have brakes and suspension to improve their off-road capabilities. Unlike their two-wheeled counterparts, mountain unicycles have only a single gear ratio or fixed wheel. To go up steep inclines, riders often hop sideways up the hill. On descents, some riders freewheel their unicycle by using their feet as brakes on the tire, a technique known as gliding.

Today there are hundreds of mountain unicyclists riding all kinds of terrain across the world. The world's best known, Kris Holm, is the "Tony Hawk" of muni. He is very skilled.
