"This can't be real," is what I thought when I heard from a fellow photog about a group of unicyclers who ride trails at South Mountain Park on suped-up unicycles . What I found was a group of guys who have a serious passion for riding unicycles. Members of the Arizona Unicycle Club try to get out at least once a week to ride trails. They reminded me a lot of skateboarders who find an obstacle and try again and again to master the obstacle before moving on to a different challenge. Most of the video was shot with a Canon 5DMKII Digtial SLR , but a few of the clips were shot using a little GoPro camera . The GoPro is a tiny, $300 HV video camera that you can easily mount to helmets, skateboards or cars. I was really surprised by the quality of the image. The unicyclists have their arms stretched out for balance while riding, so I had one of them hold the camera while he was going down a particularly rugged part of trail to try and give the viewer a sense of what's it's like to be in the rider's seat.
