Bode Miller rides a unicycle

Patmoore 27 May 2006 00:50:01
 
2004's Overall World Cup ski champion Bode Miller trains on a uni in the
off season. I finally found a (very short) video clip of him riding
one. Go to http://www.flyingdo­wnhill.com/flash/ind­ex.html
to view a trailer of a video he's selling. The trailer is fairly
lengthy but you might want to watch it nonetheless. Bode is an
incredibly immature athlete with more talent than anyone else in the
world of ski racing. He can't open his mouth without inserting his
foot but he's a joy to watch when he's on top of his game. I'm glad to
see he appreciates the advantages of one-wheeling it.

Bode is the best skier i have ever seen, he should definatly try to stay
away from the press though... someone mentioned that he rode a while
back. Herman Maier does too I think...

I forget his name but *the* skiing guru (skiers will know who I am
talking about, apparently hes the Kris Holm of skiing) strongly
recommended unicycling as an offseason workout because it strongly
benefits core strength, leg strength and balance (all big in skiing).

I reckon theres a lot of skier-unicyclists.

I wasn't aware that The Herminator rode a uni. Makes sense though. I
think Daron Rahlves has logged some time on one. I've met him on a few
occasions and will probably see him at Steamboat next winter. I'll
ask him.

I got into unicycling (after a long absence) to strengthen my quads for
snowboard racing and obviously to help with my balance.

After unicycling, fencing is a breeze on my quads. I was keeping up with
the ROTC boys in fencing club no problem. I got quite a kick out of
that since I'm an almost over the hill mom!!

Hopefully Dave comes back in ehre. Hes a worldclass telemark skier, and
sponsored by Kris Holm.

He would have a great insight about this.

I think lots of skiers unicycle to help there balance. I've definitely
inproved this season at skiing, not sure how much unicycling helped
though. I wasn't unicycling last ski season.

And 2 of the ski instructors up at the mountain I ski at can unicycle,
they learnt to help there balance. One of them used to be a top swiss
racer. Pretty kool really.

Ingemar Stenmark (not sure if that's spelled right) was written up in
the USA's Newsletter in the late 70s. The article includes pictures of
Jack Halpern giving him a new unicycle, and him riding it. Not exactly a
testimonial, but another famous skier.

I ski occasionally, but not well enough to provide a meaningful
testimonial. All I know is that the two sports have a lot in common in
terms of muscle groups used, as well as dynamic, or full-body balance
and movement needed to maximize results.

I seem to have always had good balance in sports, I think mostly due to
unicycling at an early age.

MTBers were always amazed how I was able to stay upright and run out a
crash off a bike. Skiing too, I have pulled off some amazing saves due
to balance.

Unicycling this past season will definitely help more in the fitness
department. I feel stronger going into the season this year than I have
in the last couple.

Loveland opens in less than two weeks!!
Woo effin Hoo!!

To really good leg workout Bode should ride an UW instead of pushing
that roller:rolleyes:


My years of skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, & inline prob helped a
tad mentally w/ learning to uni. Zero physical - it'd been years since
I'd done any + the paralysis from breaking my back (thighs & core still
work).
