    Casselberry-Scott said he has experienced a certain acceptance at
    Goshen that he did not find at his former school. ``When I was at
    University of Michigan the kind of people that go there don't like
    people who are different,'' he said. ``When I was riding though campus
    you would get maybe two or three people who said `That's cool,' but
    most would insult me or call me stupid.''

    Makes me wonder if many kids who actually would like to try unicycling
    are being held back by the possibility of being ridiculed.

    Uh, the article and students seem to be (currently) from Goshen,
    Indiana.

    That's the Midwest in general, if anything. Being at a hoity-toity
    university probably doesn't help. But plenty of top unicyclists also
    come from the Midwest, so it's not impossible. Plus, we did hold all
    the racing events at the 1981 USA Nationals at the University of
    Michigan Track & Field House. The all-time Obstacle Course record was
    set in there. That's 18.95 seconds, by Floyd Crandall. Since then we've
    changed the course layout.

    I think he means crutch like the one that you use when you break your
    ankle. I used them at first, but they were actually more of a
    hindrace, so i didn't use them for very long.

    i think it just means a regular crutch, like when you break something.
    I tried 'em at first, but it didn't really help me very much.

    to give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.
