A PAIR of 'adrenaline seeking' ten-year-olds are causing quite a stir by making their way to and from school on unicycles.

Talented year five pupils Jake Rayner and Sam McGurk delight passers-by as they pedal between their homes in Wyke and Scholes Village Primary, near Cleckheaton.

The duo took only a few months to learn how to ride their unicycles - and now it's just like riding a bike for them, said Jake's mum Jodie Rayner.

Mrs Rayner said: "At first I was terrified by it. I followed him at first because I dropped off other children I child-mind.

"But I am confident enough now for them to both go on them on their own.

"It is strange to see. I pass them and you see work people in vans laughing.

"They only took a couple of months to get the hang of it.

"I am definitely impressed. It makes me chuckle how people tend to slow down and point. They won't have seen it before.

"I have put him on Facebook for friends and family and they love it. They have said we should get them into the circus - Jake wants some batons next!"

She added: "They both decided that they would practice on them at home so they would then be able to go to school on them. It didn't take them long to get the hang of it - now there's no stopping them, it's just like they are on a normal bike.

"They just pedal and pedal until they get to school. They used to go to school on normal bikes.

"It is a great way for the boys to get exercise - they will have massive leg muscles.

"They have learned to do bunny hops on them as well!"

Mrs Rayner said she and Jake's dad John had tried to master the unicycle themselves.

"Sober and drunk, we still cannot do it," she said, before adding that Jake's sister Charlie, 12, thinks her brother's talent is "good".

"His dad is more impressed," said Mrs Rayner. "He has tried and given up. We are too scared of cracking our heads."

Jake got his unicycle for Christmas in 2014 and now has two. Sam got his midway through 2015.

"Jake is mad on looking on YouTube. He always wants something new to excite him.

"He looks on YouTube for different things and found unicycles.

"He always likes a challenge and to try something new. He wanted a pogo stick at one point, but I stopped that because he wanted to do flips off walls and stuff like that.

"He is a bit of an adrenaline junkie like that and Sam rides motorbikes in competitions."

Jake and Sam are now hoping to enter their school's annual School's Got Talent competition.
