Derek,
I can ride a unicycle (not near as well as these guys could), and while it's evident that these guys would have no trouble riding unicycles, I can tell you that what they're doing is considerably harder. The "simple" act of sitting motionless in one place for more than a second or two is tremendously difficult, even if one does not have to counterbalance the weight of the front wheel and to keep it from flopping around. I don't have any idea of who these guys are, but they're truly impressive.
regards,
John Barry
