Kris Holm is a Canadian best known for riding a unicycle in off-road conditions. He was born on the 15th of July 1973 and has ridden since 1986 and is considered one of the pioneers of off-road unicycling, and is the world's best-known unicyclist. He is the founder of competitive unicycle trials (unicycle obstacle riding) and was the 2005 European, 2002 World, and 1999 North American unicycle trials champion. He also held the unicycle sidehop world record from 1998-2004 (since broken), and performed trials demonstrations with the Norco Factory Trials Team from 1998-2006.
Kris has ridden off-road in many countries, including the summit of the highest mountain in Central America, the summit of the 3rd highest mountain in North America, trade-routes across the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan, and on the Great Wall of China. In 2006, Kris climbed and attempted a unicycle descent of Licancabur, a 5950 m volcano in Bolivia. In 2010, Kris competed against bikes in the 7-day BC Bike Race, becoming the first unicyclist to reach the podium in a major mountain bike race, with a 3rd place finish (Men’s Solo, Challenge Category) on Stage 5. In 2013 Kris retired from semi-professional riding at the age of 40, but still rides actively.
The kris (Ngoko Javanese: ꦏꦼꦫꦶꦱ꧀ ;Krama Javanese: ꦮꦁꦏꦶꦔꦤ꧀;Ngoko Gêdrìk: kêrìs ; Krama Gêdrìk: wangkingan; lit. "to slice") is an asymmetrical dagger with distinctive blade-patterning achieved through alternating laminations of iron and nickelous iron (pamor). While most strongly associated with the culture of Indonesia the kris is also indigenous to Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei, Singapore and the southern Philippines where it is known as kalis with variants existing as a sword rather than a dagger. The kris is famous for its distinctive wavy blade, although many have straight blades as well.
Kris have been produced in many regions of Indonesia for centuries, but nowhere—although the island of Bali comes close—is the kris so embedded in a mutually-connected whole of ritual prescriptions and acts, ceremonies, mythical backgrounds and epic poetry as in Central Java. As a result, in Indonesia the kris is commonly associated with Javanese culture, although other ethnicities are familiar with the weapon as part of their culture, such as the Balinese, Sundanese, Madurese, Banjar, Thais, and Filipinos. It is also highly associated with and a part of Malay and Moro (Muslim Filipino) culture.

From pogo stick competitions, to walking on 5ft stilts, Holm was never drawn towards mainstream sports. He was one of the first athletes to take up mountain unicycling professionally, and has had a huge influence on the sport. Now, as a veteran of mountain unicycling, Holm gives us the low down on his past adventures and the progression of the sport in this episode of The Sound of Winter Sessions: The Ski Channel is a television network dedicated to skiers, snowboarders and mountain culture.

This video was made for the Kris Holm Evolution of Balance award, a grant I earned in 2013. I co-filmed and co-edited this with Jorge Alejandro, of the formerly named Ardilla films. Thank you for making this project possible, and thank you to my supporters! Originally uploaded in December 2013, the video has been edited, updated, and re-uploaded this year, 2016. Enjoy!
Kris Holm has been riding unicycles since he was 12 years old. He rides on the most dangerous routes and thus inseparable linked his name with the sport.
Videojournalist Brent Foster documents Kris Holm, the "Tony Hawk" of mountain unicycling, riding the trails of Mt. Fromme on Vancouver's north shore and the beaches at Spanish banks in Vancouver, British Columbia.
We grabbed Kris Holm while we were at Unicon 16 and asked him a few questions. Check out what he has to say about what it was like to be involved with Dan Heaton and the early extreme unicycling videos, how unicycles have evolved since he started riding and where he thinks unicycling will be in 10 years time. Enjoy!
This is an inside look at how the KH/Schlumpf geared unicycle hub is made.
