These days, he gets his thrills by unicycling through the Dolomites in northeast Italy.

He was hooked after meeting an extreme unicyclist during a trip to China some years back.

Eichholz plans on retiring soon and completing a degree focused on urban planning.

With views like this, it's hard to believe he'll ever give up this extreme sport entirely.

Still, every time up the mountain is a risky proposition.
