Dustin is not
your average unicyclist. His experience and awards
speak for themselves. He went from learning how to
ride the bike, to setting world records in the sport of
unicycling to performing around the world. Plus, he
articulates clear Christian messages that resonate with
audiences.
Becoming a world
champion and three-time national champion has not
been an easy ride for Dustin Kelm. The whole process began
when Dustin received his first unicycle as a gift at the age
of ten. Through much persistence and dedication he taught
himself how to ride. After two years, Dustin found a local
unicycle club and discovered there was more he could do on a
unicycle besides his paper route.
Over the next few years,
Dustin discovered the thrill of the sport of unicycling.
Dustin excelled in racing and freestyle events, setting
numerous national and world records in each age bracket
during his jr. and sr. high years. The life experiences
gained from national and world competitions at such a young
age have been invaluable.
Not content with
simply unicycling, Dustin continues to hone his performance
skills and also endeavors to further his extensive training
in theatre and physical movement. In 1992, Dustin kicked
off his solo-performing career with a tour in Japan. At
that time, Dustin began developing what has become a one of
a kind performance incorporating inspirational and
motivational messages illustrated with world-class
unicycling set to high-energy music.
