When did you start unicycling and why:

I caught the unicycle virus during a juggling workshop in 1995. Having learned a couple of freestyle skills, I was searching for new challenges and found it in Muni and trials.

Why do you like to ride:

‘Cause i'm an inveterate optimist, strongly believing one day my unicycle will not topple down anymore :-)

Other Interests:

Juggling, web design

Any Words of wisdom:

Unicycling is an awesome chance to get to know one's limits.
