You can find this young gun out in the small town of Nelson BC. His name is Michael Parenteau and he is 17 years old. He has been riding bikes for about two years now and makes it look like he has been riding longer than most.
Check out his video and pics inside,It's not just riding on two wheels that this kid is famous for, it’s also for riding on one! Mike has been trying to collect sponsors to help get him around since he started the sport of mountain biking. He says it’s hard to get a quality sponsor when you are so new to the sport as well as helping to introduce a new sport, but now he is rolling in them! Mike Currently rides for Brodie Bikes, Schwalbe Tires, Five Ten shoes, Hype Energy Drink, POC Protective Gear, and Magura Brakes. He is going to be appearing at three World Cups this season. You’ll be able to see him at the World Cup in Mont St. Anne Canada, Bromont Canada, and Schladming Austria.

At the moment Mike is riding a new Kris Holm one-wheeled downhill bike with gears and a brake. He is expecting to use it at the world cup events that he will be appearing at this season.
Mike is the type of kid that is not scared to try something that is somewhat unthinkable…being the first person the front flip a 26 inch wheeled unicycle off a 13 foot drop in Castlegar BC is quite amazing…and unthinkable!
Mike is currently one of the fastest riders around on a one-wheeled bike and is working on his two wheeled racing career as well, make sure to keep your eyes out for this kid in the seasons to come.

amazing skill like, good on u lad, but why!?
That's just mean and unecessary...
I've rode w/ Mike on Mount Fromme on the North Shore in North Vancouver. You know, that place that everyone else in the world seems to have so much fun modeling their own technical trails after and even describe their trails as "North Shore"-style because of how challenging they are?
He rode his uni-cycle and although he wasn't as fast as some of the other riders, he cleaned almost everything and it was his first time there. He also lives and rides in Nelson, BC. One of the most consistently steep places I've ever rode.
Congratulations Mike, awesome to see you having fun riding your unicycle and your bike and doing it around the world!
you're a f*cking ass clown.
If something breaks and is within warranty parameters, you should have no issue......as you are covered.
If it breaks and its out of warranty or user fault...... man up and take it....... we are not playing tennis here!!!
( not that tennis is bad)
This kid was at a race earlier this year I attended and he dropped in once everyone was done. Watching him come down the last section with berms and hits was pretty rad.
