Adrien is a riding phenomenon, with the discipline to work over and over to succeed at the seemingly impossible. Nowhere is that more evident than in his months of training to land the world's first unicycle front flip and in his success at UNICON as a Flatland World Champion.

When did you start unicycling and why:

I started unicycling during the summer holidays in 2005. I was a day walking in Montpellier city with some friends and I saw a group riding unicycles. They were doing tricks, jumping on stairs. I was like surprised I didn’t think we could make all that with only one wheel. So when I went back home I said to my parents that I want a unicycle. First they said to me “really?“ and I said yes for sure it’s very cool. Some days later I bought my first unicycle a “basic” model. I was so motivated, and I did my first meters in some hours. Then few days later, I was to a kind of party, and I meet Xavier Collos, I never met him before and I didn’t know who he was. So he came to me and tried to ride my unicycle, he was awesome. Then he told me that if I wanted to train, there is every Saturday morning a training in his village, I agreed and I went with him training. I want unicycling to become popular, and go out of this “circus view“. This is my goal, to make Unicycling known and popular like others extreme sports.

Why do you like to ride:

I like riding because we meet others riders, go to competitions, We can progress everywhere travel a lot, make videos, relaxation, for me it's my life.

Other Interests:

My girlfriend, eating, editing, filming, party, photo, kendama, gymnastique…

Any Words of wisdom:

Make success is agreeable, but the more important is do what we love for don’t lose the taste!
