Crash “owww I fell again I’m never going to learn this stupid thing.” cried Kevin
“Yes you can you just need to practice.” remarked his dad as he was 1 foot idling on his 24 inch Muni.
“No the stupid thing only has one wheel this is for clowns”
“ok if you want you can stop I’ m not going to make you learn how to ride one but before you go in put the unicycle in the garage.”
“ok” as Kevin is outing the unicycle away he notices an old dusty box so Kevin being a curious kid looks in the box in the box he sees a bunch of old Disney movies but there is one movie that catches his eye its titled Old Unicycle Movie so he sneakly brought the movie up stairs to the tv and plays it he is amazed at what he sees there people doing extreme unicycling like mountain unicycling and street unicycling. Immediately he turns of the tv and runs to the garage to get his unicycle for four straight hours he practiced but finally his dad come out and says
“Kevin come in its time to eat dinner,”
“Hold on look at this first” Kevin can know ride all the way around the block five times
“Wow Kevin what made you decide to try again?”
“I found a video of extreme unicycling in a box in the garage and it looked so cool I had to learn.”
“ok” but you need to eat dinner first you can continue tomorrow.”
“Fine”
The next day Kevin goes out to unicycle and in one day he is able to hop up and down stairs, idle and started to learn 1 foot riding.
“Kevin. Your learning so fast I bet by next week you will be better than me” said his surprised dad. Witch was kind of true but not really because in two more days he broke his unicycle on a four foot drop so it took another four days to get a new one.
After about one month Kevin was good enough to compete at unicon and place. So he did. Lucky that year’s unicon was held in Marietta Georgia right near the unicycle.com showroom witch was only about 15 minutes away from his house. When he got there to register it he was amazed at all the unicyclists, he had never seen so many unicyclists in one place before. As he stepped up to the table Kevin handed him the form. The old man looked at it and laughed a little bit.
“Are you sure you want to compete in trials and street those are the most popular events this year.”
“Yes I’m pretty good I think I have a chance.”
“Ok it’s your choice.” The next day is when the contest really began first was street.
“Next up Kevin Jones” said the man with the megaphone
“Good luck Kevin” cheered the his family
Kevin rode out to the center of the park and amazed the doubtful crowd with a really nice double flip then hops up the 10 set, two stairs at a time then did a trey flip to a backwards grind down the hand rail and a side ways wheel walk at the bottom. The crowed went wiled. Immediately he rode a ramp up to a higher level of the park and did a perfect fithflip down the 4 foot drop and he ended his run with a back flip dismount. The whole crowed went wiled. Kevin was swamped by fans, photographers, and heads of unicycle companies wanting to sponsor him. But Kevin ignored most of them and continued to watch the other people. When it got dark he rode home ate dinner and practiced on the trials curse he built in his backyard it was not much it had pallets and skinies, but the most impressive part of the whole thing wasn’t for trials he built a foam pit and a ten foot drop going into it. To get up he had a stair set but the stairs where one inch skinies an the there was 1 foot of space between them.
The next day he woke up got ready and rode over to the trials contest and did pretty poorly compare to most of the other riders. I’m not going to go over to it in detail because talking about trials is kind of boring. Kevin stayed and watched the other trials riders got a few autographs when a man walked up to him and said
“hay I saw you yesterday and I think you’re pretty good would you like to be on my team”
“OH MY GOOD YOU,RE KRIS HOLM” Kevin quietly yelled
“Yea but can I talk to your parents for a bit.”
“Ok their right over there” Kevin points to his parent’s and Kris walks over talk to them.
One day after unicon Kevin was sitting at home when the mail come he looks over and sees a letter that says on it Kris Holm Unicycles so he opens it and…
Congratulations you are now part of the Kris Holm Factory Team.
