"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Paul Anderson from the ABC Circus and we are in Hollywood, Florida, and I'd like to show you some things about unicycles. This one is an interesting unicycle. It's called a Coker. It comes from Tennessee right here in America. It's a 36 inch wheel, so it's a bit more difficult to ride, but it's certainly great for going to the store and back. You can move around quite quickly through the city and it's easy to park. This one is interesting because it's the phenomenon of mountain unicycle. Riding unicycles across country through dirt trails. This one is commonly used because it moves quite fast. I wouldn't use this one on a very rocky road because the wheel is so large. Perhaps a 24 inch wheel, but with the same knobby tire construction, heavy duty rim, and very solid frame. These are all great things for a mountain unicycle. One more thing a mountain unicycle has is a hand brake stuck right here. Sometimes they need to stop."
