  1. Alright im new to this site but i can only hope somone responds to this
    thread. I live in north Texas (Allen Tx to be exact) and me and my
    friends have been tearin it up as best we can. I've already broken 2
    unicycles and finally got one that won't let me down (Torker all day!),
    so now were tearing it up even more. However just unicycling alone or
    with a friend of mine gets boring and so does going the same spots.
    Thats why we have started going to different cities and looking for
    spots no one is at (we usually go at night). So I heard about this site
    from this guy who has been unicycling for a while now and he told me
    that there *are* more unicyclist out there you just have to find them.
    So here I am, I'm calling out any and all unicyclist (skill doesnt
    matter because from what I've seen i got a lot to learn) in texas who
    want to get together and just freakin unicycle. I myself have a new
    torker 24" and i'm really wanting to do some unicycling this summer so
    if anyone reading this wants to meet up I'm down just hit me up on this
    site i guess and let me know whats up. I really want to know more about
    unicycling so if nothing else I can learn a lot from just hanging out
    with ya'll. So hit me up on the low low😄 and I seriously hope at
    least one person responds because I have no way to gauge myself except
    for wathcing kris holm and ryan atkins videos on youtube. By the way if
    you were wondering how ill my skills are... I just jumped a 4 stair the
    other day, 1st try no big deal😎

  2. keep looking through youtube, there are several *unknown* riders on
    there that you could guage your skill against....also the IUF skill
    standards, the unicyclopedia, ect(unicyclopedia is part of wikipedia,
    just do a google search for it, it covers most of the riding styles and
    has a street skill levels list......)

    im sure several people will respond to this thread, good luck.....

    i actually know how many other people in my town uni(3, including me)
    and towns are so far apart here it wouldn't really be worth it to try
    to find anyone else(actually, im the only serious unicyclist here, i
    think,(not sure about guy #3, but person #2 isn't getting anywhere with
    skills, tricks, muni, ect.))

  4. Hi The UniSLAB,

    I and two of my friends (monkeyman and spazdude2222 on the forums) live
    outside of Dallas and ride. We're about your skill level - I just
    rolling hopped a 4set for the first time a couple weeks ago. This is a
    video we all made not long ago if you want to see us:


    (My part is the second one)

    Holler back.

  7. Austin has a lot of riders.
    There's at least 5 Coker riders
    There's at least 5 street riders
    There's at least 5 muni riders

    Hopefully, we are going to start regularly doing uni hocky and bball as
    well.
    If you are interested in Austin, just let me know and I can give you
    more info.

    Also San Antonio has a bunch of riders as well
    (but that's an extra 2 hours roundtrip drive for you).

    Not sure how many riders are in Houston.
    I really only know of 1.5 of them.

    Austin and San Antonio have great trails (if you muni at all).
    As far as street, I think Houston is the best city for street riding
    (by far).

  8. Awesome! San Antonio sounds great cause thats what i have is a 24" muni
    so that sounds like a lot of fun. Also my brother is going to be moving
    down to Austin pretty soon and having somewhere to stay down there will
    help out a lot. Although I'm not sure when the next time I'll be down
    there, but its summer so you never know. I think this is great that
    there are a lot of riders here in texas and I can't wait to go ride
    with ya'll. Infact, I'm gonna go practice right now...

    Just so you know, the whole same color text as the background thing is
    really annoying. Okay, thanks.

    We only need one 36" rim, one that doesn't suck. A properly sized KH rim
    (like the 29er only larger) would be awesome.
