He is the former and three time street world champion after taking the title from Adrien Delecroix[3] during UNICON XV, in Wellington, New Zealand in 2009–10.[1][4]

Pere Huriwai runs his own unicycle team, Hippo Unicycles,[5] focusing on increasing unicycle participation and creating a base of content for extreme unicycling in New Zealand and Australia.[6]

Pere Huriwai created UniQuest, "an online unicycle tutorial series, to give aspiring unicyclists the guidance that (he) received from (his) role models when (he) started".[7]

He is a vegan, and co-produced the 2021 documentary Milked, in which he investigates various negative effects of New Zealand's dairy industry on the environment, health, and animals.[8][9]

He and his partner Samah Huriwai-Seger are activists, sharing anti-oppression content on decolonialism, veganism, and sociopolitical issues, including co-governance as Aotearoa Liberation League.[4][5]
