00:00This is what unicyclists are looking forward to every time they compete in an exciting performance.
00:17And in the morning, they will still be playing basketball.
00:30We met AlegrÃa Surigao del Norte, this group.
00:51They really love to play basketball.
00:54But because they are all members of the amazing acrobat group,
01:04they also leveled up their basketball skills by riding a unicycle.
01:10It is also a type of vehicle that is like a bicycle, but with one wheel.
01:15We got the idea of playing basketball while riding a unicycle.
01:24For international talents, practicing with one wheel is very difficult.
01:31It is not easy to do.
01:33We managed to balance one wheel for a week.
01:40Did you know that the unicycle was first popular in the late 19th century?
01:45From the so-called Penny-Farting Bicycle,
01:49or the bicycle with a big wheel in the front and a small wheel in the back.
01:54Some users discovered that they can balance even with just the front wheel.
02:00From this, the unicycle was created.
02:04Very good!
02:07Very good!
02:09Originally, the unicycle was used as a means of transportation.
02:13Today, the unicycle is also used for recreation and exercise.
02:21In 2009, the group Amazing Acrobat started.
02:26The members of Amazing Acrobat are 14.
02:30There are members from Cebu, Davao, Bugidnon, and Bohol.
02:36We will get the members who are closest to us to perform.
02:44Most of the time, they perform at festivals or events in different places.
02:49Our performance lasts for more than three hours.
02:54It is divided into four parts.
02:56The first part is the pyramid building.
03:00Here, we will test their skills.
03:03They have ladder balancing,
03:06blocks balancing,
03:08foot ladder balancing,
03:10and chair balancing.
03:13The last part we will do is that they will ride unicycles.
03:19Unicycle basketball is one of the groups they represent.
03:23You can't really see the faces of the people when you see them
03:28cheering in a basketball game, especially when they are riding a unicycle.
03:33But let's compare the unicycle basketball stunts of Amazing Acrobat.
03:38Because their version is only for the show, according to their leader, Brian.
03:44What we do is different from normal basketball games.
03:48Because we are riding a unicycle, it is twice as hard.
03:52We have three types of unicycle.
03:54First is 3 feet, second is 7 feet, and the third is 12 feet high unicycle.
04:00And the most difficult is the 12 feet unicycle.
04:07They don't follow any rules, and even some of them can play.
04:11Today, as they prepare for their next rackets,
04:14Today, as they prepare for their next rackets,
04:18they will play unicycle basketball.
04:22Today, they will play unicycle basketball.
04:29If the unicycle is going to rise, do you know that the highest unicycle is over 100 feet?
04:36According to Guinness World Records,
04:37American Sam E. Browns prepared a unicycle with a height of 114.8 feet or 35 meters on January 29, 2004.
04:49He was able to do this until he reached 28 feet or 8 meters in the Silver Dome in Pontiac, Michigan, USA.
04:58If you have a hard time balancing, riding a unicycle is sure to help.
05:04Aside from this, it is also a good exercise to improve your coordination.
05:09The unicycle rises by pedaling on its wheels.
05:14The balance of the unicycle is heavy.
05:19To go in one direction, the rider needs to lean in the direction he wants to go.
05:26But balancing a unicycle is not easy.
05:28Balancing a unicycle is not easy.
05:30And the unicycle is also the rival of a low or high unicycle.
05:36Their member, Reynold, is only 18 years old when he joined the group.
05:41But he still admits that he is low when he rides a 12-feet unicycle.
05:46Before I ride a 12-feet unicycle,
05:50I ride a long unicycle first.
05:53When I ride a long unicycle, I feel that it is already low.
05:58Aside from being low, they are also not exempted from accidents.
06:06When I fell on a 12-feet unicycle, my foot was torn.
06:11I was not able to join them for a month because it is painful when your foot jumps.
06:16So I did not ride again for a month and I relaxed first.
06:29That is why each member has been preparing for a long time for their perfect stunts.
06:38As a preparation for their other shows,
06:41they will demo to us how to play unicycle basketball.
06:45Eight members of the group will join and will be divided into two teams.
06:51But before that, the group will warm up first.
06:58Reynold made his stunt, Pipe Balancing, using a unicycle.
07:04Here, one of the members will jump on a pipe using a unicycle that is 3-feet high.
07:13While I was watching the Pipe Balancing,
07:17I was scared because I did not know how to ride a unicycle.
07:22While I was watching the Pipe Balancing,
07:26I was scared because I did not know how to ride a unicycle.
07:37After the warm-up, the amazing acrobats did not stop.
07:42They immediately started the unicycle basketball.
07:46It was a 3-versus-3 game.
07:49Each team has two 3-feet and one 7-feet unicycle.
07:54The score will increase within 5 minutes.
07:58One point for each shoot.
08:03Now, the team with Bryan is leading.
08:06In the end, Bryan's team still won.
08:11At this point, Reynold also joined.
08:14He rode a 12-feet unicycle.
08:19Since this unicycle is taller, the audience is more nervous.
08:23Since this unicycle is taller, the audience is more nervous.
08:38It is entertaining, especially for the kids.
08:41For us adults, it is hard to balance riding a bike and basketball.
08:49I saw that I am happy here.
08:51I also saw that other people are happy watching me,
08:57especially my family.
08:59They are very proud of me.
09:06It is easy to ride a unicycle,
09:09but it is better to watch it first.
09:12Because of each kick,
09:14it takes a long time to get used to it
09:17so that you can play more happily and safely.
09:21I am happy to be able to ride a unicycle.
09:51I am happy to be able to ride a unicycle.
