Dustin Kelm

Dustin Kelm is a world champion and world record setting unicyclist. He has performed and competed throughout North, South and Central America, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Caribbean. Dustin is a three time Unicycling Society of America expert freestyle national champion, a Unicycling Society of America mountain unicycling national champion and a UNICON freestyle World Champion.

He was born January 26, 1972 and was given his first unicycle at the age of 10. Two years later he joined the Twin Cities Unicycle Club in Minneapolis and discovered there was much more he could do on a unicycle besides his paper route. Over the years he has claimed national and world records, titles and medals in age group categories as well as men's expert categories.

Dustin was elected to serve on the board of directors for the Unicycling Society of America for two three year terms from 1989-1991, 1993-1995.[1][2]
