THE COMPLETE BOOK OF UNICYCLING covers equipment, mechanics of unicycling, and how to learn to ride a unicycle. The book goes on from basic riding to learning solo artistic riding with and without props and partner and group skills. Beginning, intermediate and advanced skills are included. All types of unicycles, including midget, giraffe, and big-wheel designs, are detailed. There are chapters on riding giraffe unicycles, using novelty unicycles, games and races for fun and competition, performing and artistic competition, and clubs and organizations. A chapter is devoted to the history and development of unicycling, and another to unicycling records and feats.

Book Description
Unicycle tells the story of Jim Kobs, who came from modest circumstances, but played a key role in building one of the greatest direct marketing agencies in the work and then goes on to grow one of the foremost ad agencies in the world. Here are his secrets for success, along with his personal experiences-from managing messages, to meeting celebrities, to chasing the Chicago Cubs. Kobs discusses the college activities that pointed him to an advertising career, what he learned while working for others, the mailing that produced attractive job offers and immediate income, how Kobs & Brady became a leading direct marketing ad agency, the negotiation strategy that led to one of the best-orchestrated agency sales in history, and a behind-the-scenes look at celebrity trips with Frank Sinatra and President Jimmy Carter. Jim Kobs is a retired advertising agency executive and an accomplished author and speaker.

Dynamics of the Unicycle
Author: Michał Niełaczny
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319953842
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 85
Book Description
This book presents a three-dimensional model of the complete unicycle–unicyclist system. A unicycle with a unicyclist on it represents a very complex system. It combines Mechanics, Biomechanics and Control Theory into the system, and is impressive in both its simplicity and improbability. Even more amazing is the fact that most unicyclists don’t know that what they’re doing is, according to science, impossible – just like bumblebees theoretically shouldn’t be able to fly. This book is devoted to the problem of modeling and controlling a 3D dynamical system consisting of a single-wheeled vehicle, namely a unicycle and the cyclist (unicyclist) riding it. The equations of motion are derived with the aid of the rarely used Boltzmann–Hamel Equations in Matrix Form, which are based on quasi-velocities. The Matrix Form allows Hamel coefficients to be automatically generated, and eliminates all the difficulties associated with determining these quantities. The equations of motion are solved by means of Wolfram Mathematica. To more faithfully represent the unicyclist as part of the model, the model is extended according to the main principles of biomechanics. The impact of the pneumatic tire is investigated using the Pacejka Magic Formula model including experimental determination of the stiffness coefficient. The aim of control is to maintain the unicycle–unicyclist system in an unstable equilibrium around a given angular position. The control system, based on LQ Regulator, is applied in Wolfram Mathematica. Lastly, experimental validation, 3D motion capture using software OptiTrack – Motive:Body and high-speed cameras are employed to test the model’s legitimacy. The description of the unicycle–unicyclist system dynamical model, simulation results, and experimental validation are all presented in detail.
