Sitting anywhere for a long time can cause impotence. You may as well
be on a bicycle or unicycle.

If Kris Holm has a kid, it's a surprise to me! He didn't have any when
he got married last September (2003).

First, if you're not wearing bike shorts, I highly recommend them.
Second, you don't want to land on the seat when doing drops. When in
doubt, learn to do drops seat out, and/or lower the seat.

People who do extreme amounts of road bike riding have had problems with
pnile dysfunction. This is due to prolonged hours with a lot of weight
on the centerline of the crotch. The same thing is possible on a
unicycle, but you'd really have to put lots of hours in a week, sitting
down, to compete with those road bikers. They sit on the seat for hours
at a time. We unicyclists generally don't. Those at highest risk are the
long distance Coker riders. Trials riders are not particularly at risk
for this.

I figure it's pretty clear that offroad unicycling is a stupid thing to do - joemarshall

i get what you mean by lowering the seat, then u just stiffen ur legs
lots so u don't land hard on em lol, but i suppose if ur feet slip off u
suffer the consequences, but i'm not sure what u mean by dropping with
no seat or whatever

it means the seat isnt between your legs. You hold it out in front of
you

Make an airseat ... :thumbsup

And ,,, J.F. is correct...

those training for competitions like 'tour de france' have problems....
Hours spent 'training' and competing on poorly designed seats...

Have you seen the new seats these days ..?

greg lemond (last great american cyclist before lance) has several
children. hell lance armstrong has one or two. if you aren't dumb about
it and respond (and fix) the problems that can cause your naughty bit to
go numb everything should be fine. george barnes claims his junk still
works after the coker ride across iowa a few years ago. he has no kids
for proof, but he does have a wife so....yeah. I actually hurt my nuts
more frequently mounting than on drops. You can hurt yourself pretty
good on drop but if yor feet slip off, the uni will fly right out from
under you after minimal contact with crtoch. it'll still hurt but its
not like getting kicked there or anything.

Those little kids doing those huge drops have one advantage over
teenagers and adults-- little pre pubescent testicles about the size of
peanuts which don't get in the way and tend to be less painful when
landed on.

In fact, the balls has to be *crushed* for you to get strile.
Imagine that!

I'm suprised no one has stated the obvious that when you go for the big
drops stand on the pedals easy as that.

I've been unicycling for two years and doing trials and muni for about a
year and a half...I HAVEN'T ONCE landed on them.

I do quite a few trials demos these days and I really don't like it when
someone in the crowd or even the announcer (!) shouts out "That must
hurt!" or "He mustn't want kids" or something when I do a drop.

If drops involved landing on them I wouldn't be doing drops!

I think the dropping to flat technique I've been trying to develop for
myself puts you at less of a risk of slipping and landing on them too.
It involves instantly rolling out of the drop (even on flat ground) and
pivoting at the hips. You can see it at www.unicycle.2ya.com in the
trials section.
