General Grievous Unicycles in the Beijing closing ceremony

[kidmissile]

By this weekend I was a bit overloaded with the Olympics so it's just as well that it was ending over and that we had other fun things to do.

Those large wheeled unicycles were awesome! I've seen a picture of two of something like that, but to see them en masse and Tron-like was stunning.

Yeah, after the intensity of the swimming, I got pretty burned out. SB stuck with it through most of the gymnastics, but we definitely skipped the closing ceremonies.

The unicycles are cool (you couldn't be very tall to use those I'd think tho...). I dig the silver Evel Knievel fringe on their suits too.

Yeah, probably for shorter types, but I'm sure they could be fabbed up in different sizes, just like bikes. :)

I liked the biking elements throughout, like the decorated helmets on the red dancers in the center. Also liked the London street cyclists.
