Taylor Wright-Sanson

During the summers of 2006-2009 he performed unicycle stunts in nearly 300 shows with Circus Smirkus.[1]

He won the first national unicycle competition he entered: the Trials Competition at the Ottawa Unicycle Invasion in 2008 (OUI '08), held in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.[2]

He is one of the only unicyclists to consistently land a backflip dismount off the unicycle, having performed the stunt hundreds of times during performances.[3]

gollark: It's far too long.
gollark: Can I add a very basic `print` function?
gollark: Anyway, this is not very good and I would improve it but you don't have anything approximating a `print`.
gollark: It has been *dealt with*.
