Mountain Unicycling is an adventure sport for thrill seekers that involves riding a unicycle through mountains terrain. The sports requires extreme balance and endurance to conquer the rugged trails. A unicycle consists of a single air-filled tire, a set of off-setting pedals, a shaft surrounding the axle and a seat for the rider. The seat is generally a padded and curved variation of the 'banana seat' found on some standard bicycles. There is no chain and sprocket arrangement on a normal unicycle, although extended models called giraffes may use a chain to connect the rider's pedals to the tire several feet below.

Mountain unicycling trails are often specially designed to challenge riders with step, rocky, and wooded topography.

And it is also considered the exclusive domain of circus performers and neighborhood daredevils, the unicycle has 스포츠토토 made significant inroads into the general consciousness.
