I met Dan Heaton through a client who gave me one of his DVD's called Defect. I sat in front of my computer for forty hair-raising, eyeball stretching, knee jerking, awe-inspiring minutes, and then went on for another fifteen or so more playing all the extra features. I never wanted to unicycle, but I have been an avid mountain biker for years and when I watched what the young and restless do on a uni-cycle, I was blown away. I knew I wanted to meet Dan. I am so glad I did.

Following my mother's famous words, "you never know until you ask," I inquired if he would be willing to bring his film to Masquers Theater in Soap Lake. Not only did he agree, he has offered to present the world premiere of his latest film, Revolution One. This is serious entertainment - a documentary of the sport with lots of action.

Dan Heaton is an international celebrity (don't tell him this though; he's a quiet, laid back guy who doesn't aim for the limelight). He is one of Columbia Sportswear's sports heros, and a pioneer of street unicycling. Check out the three minute video that gives you a snapshot of Dan and his sport.

As a rider and tricks innovator, Dan was the first unicyclist to grind a handrail, land a 540 unispin, and rolling hop one meter in height. He was the rolling hop world record holder from 2000-2001. Dan was the 2002 Downhill Uni Champion and the first unicyclist to finish the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic (200 miles in 2 days). As a videographer, Dan was the first to produce a modern uni action video. he has since released several ward-winning action films that played worldwide at film festivals. His film Defect won Best Film at the Tahoe Adventure Film Festival and Selected Film at the Telluride Mountain Festival and Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival.

JACOL Filmworks, LLC and Masquers Theater are proud to sponsor the premiere of Dan's new film which will be shown one time only on September 5th at 7:00 PM at the theater. Located at 322 Main Street, Soap Lake, Washington. Tickets are $10 at the door with open seating. Dan will be present for the show and answer questions afterwards.
