Sask. stuntman rides unicycle across 60-metre-high butte

Many people have crossed the top of Castle Butte in the badlands of the Big Muddy Valley, but usually on foot.

J.D. Guignard had a different idea. He recently took onthe 60-metre-high formationon a unicycle.

Guignard is a stunt performer based out of Palmer, Sask.He specializes in stunts using skateboards, bikes, cars, motorcycles and unicycles.

This latestfeat at Castle Butte, located about 170kilometres southwest of Regina,is part of building up his online presence, he said.

He currently does stunts in small films and hopes to expand his career.

He said he felt this stunt was pretty safe although the ridge is only a metre widein spots and he admits itwas difficult working with the wind.

"It wasn't too bad but it was going with the ridge so it kind of blew me down it," he said.

Previous stunts in Saskatchewan

Guignard is originally from Windsor, Ont., but eightyears agowhile on his wayto Whistler, B.C., to go mountain biking,he stopped in Palmer to visit a cousin.

Hejust kept coming back.

Since then, he's performed many stunts in Saskatchewan including a recent one where he rode a motorcycle through a wood wall that was on fire.

He also got attention when he travelled down a Saskatchewan highway in 2015 on a skateboard. Because of the strong winds that day, he estimates he went 60 km/h.
