I hadn’t been to Burning Man<\/a> in 5 years or so and really wanted to go back. Previously, I would camp with Pancake Playhouse<\/a> (which was a total blast), but this year I thought I would start a “unicycle camp”. It turns out there wasn’t enough interest in it, and a bunch of my friends had a “Circus Boot Camp” they were thinking of doing again. So, I joined forces with them and we had an awesome time teaching people various circus skills on the playa.<\/p>\n

I initially thought I would take a ton of pictures, but in the end I didn’t feel like dragging my DSLR around (and potentially getting my lenses really dirty). I don’t mind killing my camera (it is old), but some of my lenses are a little too important to me. In hindsight, I should have brought my crappy lens and just used it. Next year that will be my plan.<\/p>\n

A few of my friends took some pictures\u2026so I’ll go ahead and “borrow” them for my website here. Here’s a few from Kim, a unicyclist\/yoga\/teacher girl from Idaho.<\/p>\n

Here I am teaching the basic foot lock on the silk (since that is one of the few things I can do):<\/p>\n

Riding around on my KH 36 unicycle towards a cool steel artwork statue. It was made of a lot of small hexagon 1\/4″ pieces of steel welded to large ball bearings. It’s hard to tell, but it is a naked woman arching up out of the playa (no arms or head). My typical outfit consisted of biker shorts, cool socks, and some accessory. In the picture below it was a bicycle gear attached with old inner tubes (originally from Ashley from years ago).<\/p>\n

Hopping over Justin at the unicycle course. It had three little teeter totters and was a blast to ride on the 36. I gave it a go on the 20, but it was too slow:<\/p>\n

Teaching people to unicycle. In the left side of the picture is the eccentric wheel that Ken<\/a> built. For some reason, people loved grabbing that unicycle and trying to learn to ride on it. I kept having to go over and take it away from them and telling them it wasn’t easy to ride.<\/p>\n

There were so many fun things at burning man this year. I learned some new aerial skills, tried out acro yoga for the first time, met a lot of cool people, saw a ton of cool artwork, lots of awesome art cars, and just had a grand old time. I’m already hoping to go again next year.<\/p>\n

Thanks for the pictures everyone!<\/p>\n

Update: I did take one or two pictures. My truck was loaded to the gills exploded. And they did; I had a blowout of the right rear tire about 15 miles from Gerlach. I changed the tire to the spare and hoped it wouldn’t happen again (luckily, Joe and I made it home with no problems)<\/p>\n
