Under control: Extreme unicycling is a real pull for adrenaline junkies (Picture: SWNS)

Most of us wouldn’t fancy cycling down a sheer rock face on two wheels, so the latest craze – to use the best word for it – won’t be high on our list of things to do either.

Yet a group of thrillseekers are taking to mountains and cliff faces with the launch of Britain’s first club for extreme unicycling.

The hobby sees adrenaline junkies trying to maintain their balance on harsh terrains, while pedalling, pivoting and bunny hopping from rock to rock as they race down treacherous coastal paths on their custom-made, one-wheeled cycles.

‘Mountain unicycling is described as a cross between mountain biking and rodeo riding, and that’s absolutely spot on,’ said Kevin Callaby, 34, of Falmouth, Cornwall.




‘There’s actually very little chance of injury because, unlike a bike, skis or a snowboard, you’re not tangled up in anything.’
