My friends mmeiser and Todd of AllYearGear posted a great video.
I've always wanted to try and ride one of these, though I think the hardest part would be actually getting up on them. But if I can get on it, then I'm in for a race.
It seems like that big front wheel would be great for off-road. You'd roll over everything. And if folks can unicycle on trails, why not a penny farthing?
That looks to be somewhat customized penny farthing (probably a 36" mtn bike wheel?). Of course trying to ride the larger bike, the downsides would be pretty major... not the least of which is the header I'd be likely take with all that forward weight. Then there's the branches that would probably knock me off the bike before you even get to the first hill.
Could be fun to try though...
