The unicycle strongman squatted 133 pounds — on one wheel

Jason Auld, 38, has spent 20 years as a professional unicyclist — inspired, he says, by old-school vaudeville strongmen. This August he finally answered the question he'd been asking himself: can you squat a barbell while riding a unicycle? He hoisted 60.5 kg (133 pounds) onto his shoulders, grabbed the seat for balance, let go — and did it. The record, confirmed August 29, is one he's owned in several forms before; he once started unicycling at 14 "because I was a contrary attention seeker." His advice: pay attention to the ideas you can't stop thinking about, "particularly the unreasonable ones."
