  2. Hey dan, i hear you live in brisbane and ride around southbank, i live
    out at The Gap and on sunday i rode all through southbank, i'm fairly
    new to unicycling and all. Personally i'd rather see a guy on a giraffe
    with a 12 inch wheel, is that doable anybody?? But out of those options
    giraffe by about a mile

    In theory, there is no difference between practice and theory, in
    practice, there is.

  4. i'd say the midget giraffe is completely doable i would like to see that
    or a 36" giraffe they would be my faves to see but the 12er whell would
    need to be strong prolly talk to the LBS ( local bike shop ) about that
    to get it customally made

  6. a nice 4" unicycle (or whatever that guy rode in the KOXX 1 20min long
    video rode) would be quite amusing. Well i ride my muni around Mt
    Cootha on gap creek road (it's real handy cause i live pretty much on
    gap creek road)

  7. that tiny wheel is awesome =p

    Or get a unicycle with 2 or three wheels, 3 would be easier to ride and
    ppl would probably be more amazed by 3 wheels on top of each other,
    then a person on top of that. The 2 wheel would be kool though too, you
    pedal forwards but go backwards, that would be fun =p

  8. Giraffe will draw the biggest crowds, aslong as you can freemount easily
    and be sure of not falling on people, especialy if working in crowded
    areas.

  11. giraffe. no contest. being higher up is mroe impressiv to 99% of the
    people. and it makes you more visable from farther away, which will
    help draw even more of a crowd.

  12. Not the Ultimate Wheel...and I would go with the giraffe only if you can
    freemount it very easily. Otherwise, the 12 inch would be best,
    because you can put it in a suitcase, and take it out in the middle of
    your act, which is entertaining. But I don't know much about busking,
    so ask someone else.

  13. Giraffe.

    Get a 5 footer, easier to mount and more maneuverable.

  14. get a giraffe, then try to find a way to put pegs on the wheel, so you
    can like sorta coast it
    if that makes any sence

    If someone has a problem with you being barefoot in church, perhaps they
    should take a good look at why they go to church. Being judgmental
    about the dress of others is not really the attitude one should have
    while in church, or anywhere for that matter.
