    Hey, I want to start making a routine for unicycle dancing to different
    songs so I can not only entertain myself, but others. I have a 5 ft.
    giraffe. Any thoughts of what I can do, and even what is possible? I
    want to do chill songs with semi-slow beats. Nothing that's like
    intense, because I'm bound to slip up if I get caught up in my
    actions!

    Also, I'm curious as to if I should get sealed bearings for the 5 ft
    long necker if I'm going to be hopping a lot, and if hopping up and
    down is necessarily alright on a giraffe or if I'm going to wear it
    out?

    Thanks for the replies in advance!

    Flowy freestyle moves.
    http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/The_Unicyclopedia/Freestyle

    Ride bckwrds, 1 foot, side ride, spins (tight circles), still stand, 1
    foot idle.

    Some things can't be done on a giraffe (like ww) or are kind of
    sketchy.

    I'd say it be best to do a bunch of stuff on a 20", then do some things
    on the giraffe.

    I saw a stage performance where the guy was doing things on a 20, then
    an assistant brought out different unis (different hieght giraffs, and
    an UW) at first he looked at her and the uni in shock that she expected
    him to ride it, then he acts like well I'll give it a shot, then does
    tons of amazing things on it.

    Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
    are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
    time do it along the way.

    get much better and maybee turn pro one day.
