"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. We started off by trying to find a unicycle that was appropriate for you, the 24 inch or the 20 inch. These are change driven unicycles with 20-inch tires. These are also very common and you can find them in most bike stores. It's a change driven 6 foot Schwinn unicycle. This is very common here in the United States. This one is 6 foot double chain unicycle, a very professional high end unicycle. This one comes from Holland, another one from Semcycle. Now, these are classic unicycles that you might see in the circus or in a parade. Of course, you have to be quite good on a short one before you jump up on a tall one. One fall off here can change your day. Although they look dangerous, they're not as dangerous as they seem, In fact, don't tell anybody, but it's easier to ride one of these than it is to ride a short unicycle."
