    The amount of time he has to take to set up a camera, ride, then retrieve takes it has to be a bit exhausting at times. i'm sure for him it's worth it because it's like a video diary.

That's a shame because what you do is so unique, you deserve to be seen by way more people, I hope that time will come soon. Seriously, going alone around the world with only one wheel, that's probably one of the craziest projects Ive ever seen! Lots of cheers from Belgium!

    after just finding the channel yesterday and now having watched every video, I am glad I don't ride uni-cycle.
    I have noticed one thing that stands out, and that is follower #'s an the amount of promoting being done on the trip for the charity. It would seem to me that having someone at home make phone calls ahead of him, calling local media, making arrangements for him to stop at local schools, cause kids would love this stuff. All this would greatly increase viewership an support so fast.
    Also I would have been collecting signatures, names addresses, phone #'s, emails of everyone he meets on his journey, especially those that rode with him, helped in out, anything like that. Cause when this journey is over it will be nice to be able to reach out to some of them again.
