Our Sponsors
Where would we be without the sponsors coming on board to help make our Freedom Revolution Tour a reality? Nowhere. Up a hill without any wheel at all.
So we'd like to thank these sponsors who have thrown their support behind us… and helped to make the trip a reality. We do need more sponsors to help us achieve our objective… so, please, if you can help in any way, do contact us!
Our Supporters
These are the wonderful people that have supported us through means other than providing monies. Their support of gear, help, advice, and motivation is really appreciated.

From the moment that the CounterBalance Trust came across a photo of John McInroy running down a main road in knee high red socks, a bright red speedo and an RSF peak cap, we liked the Redsockfriday vibe. A lot! We are stoked to be sharing our energy with a community of such impassioned, expressive and adventurous people! We saw many similarities between the way RSF goes about helping others and how we use crazy unicycling stunts to for good. Redsockfriday raises money for a number of beneficiaries through the sale of ShoOops! merchandise, corporate campaigning and donations. They have their own social network website holding the community together.
Schlumpf Innovations, based in Switzerland, are the makers of the geared Unicycle Hub. The hubs have 2 gears with 1:1 and 1:1.5 ratios. These hubs are being more widely used within the unicycling community, with the touring community (36 inch unicycles) being the most prevalent users. Mountain Unicycle riders are however starting to see the benefit of using a geared hub in a smaller sized wheel.
