More of the trails at a park in Silver Lake, Wisconsin. Brother even tried a skinny, which I can't figure out how to embed.

It was damp and rotting a bit, which didn't help as he approached the end.

We didn't quite get all of the loops, as I forgot to print a map, and we took a breather and never quite got going again, since younger nephew had to go to a work party. He is shown here with a poorly timed photo of the drop he took jumping from the road to the flat grass.

We thought we'd unicycle to the parking lot we wanted of the trail we wanted to try mountain unicycling, but then realized it was farther than thought.

For our municycling debut, we opted to take on the intimidatingly named "Tike-onderoga" trail, a truly vicious 0.25 of nearly perfect flat trail with nearly no roots, 0 climb, no switchbacks, no drops, no anything.



We were both around 4-5 step offs on the loop. One root got us both. I learned that unicycles and light mud don't work, since there's no resistance to make balance corrections, and on the final 1/8th mile, the fatigue set in and it was easier to walk off then think and react.

Another unicycle session, trying to teach younger nephew the ways of the unicycle. I worked on backwards a bit, and did forwards on brother's 24, which rolls so much better than the beat 20 I've been on.
