Here's my personal opinion about it. It takes practice to archiev a
certain level. And so, if you are able to operate on that level you
deserve to do 'someone elses' skill.
Things like what I've been reading about TCUC's 1 year monopoly on
skills by it's originator.... *ridiculous!*
In ice skating you see the same. Secret practice-sessions. Some jugglers
do the same.
All fine by me. Do whatever you want to do secretly. But then do keep it
secret. And don't tell me anything at all about it. Don't even tell me
that you do have secrets. Because before you know your newests secret
skill was allready my secret skill for years. And in no-time we have bad
standings.
If someone will show "my" 'side-ride 2 ww'
(http://unicyclist.org/cont/play.cfm?pi=s320240sideride2ww) on some big
stage, before I do... fine.
(and before you know this post gets a reply containing an url of some
old clip that contains \"my\" skill)
So what about releasing your secrets, and raise the level of
unicycling?
Cause what if all originators would have kept secret all the skills that
were the basic or your skills... would you ever considered the skills
you came up with being possible? Would you think riding with one leg is
possible? ww, gliding, coasting?
If you look back on your secret skills of today in 45 years... would you
consider this secretness other than silly?
The 720 is on the standard skills for years and years. In almost 10
years of unicycling, the many places I've been, you're the 1st I ever
saw doing a succesfull 720.
What if you executed it in 1996? In 1998 probably some other would have
done it.
So what about showing today your todays archievements?

I was talking about 'this thread' (http://tinyurl.com/7pevl) in which I
felt the need to show everyone my respect for you.
Quoted message said:-former M-tv VJ Adam Curry suffering disadvantages of being a famous
millionaire-
*If you want to have fame, or want receive credit... don't ask for
it.
It's like asking credit at the bank. You will never get the credit you
deserve.
If you ask for fame... know what you're asking for.*
And one other thing to consider: if you are worlds #1 unicyclist....
there is only one direction you can go.
