  4. I don't unjicycle

    But I do ride a 36" Unicycle to commute and train for RTL, Also great
    for XC MUni in the summer.

    I do some MUni and a little bit of trials. I have been meaning to build
    up another uni for freestyle but have yet to get spokes and a new
    seatpost for the frame, seat, hub, cranks, pedals, rim and tire I have
    laying around.

    edit: Why is it that street and trials keep getting lumped together.
    Sure they use very simmilar unicycles but I think that street is much
    closer to urban MUni with tricks than trials with tricks.

    2nd edit: Ak, I can only vote for one, I guess I will vote other for
    commuting.

  6. Don't make threads just for the sake of making threads. Your almost as
    bad as one of those spambots that find thier way in from time to time.
    If you slowed down a little and did a few searches, you will probably
    find the information you are after has been talked about again and
    again and again.

  13. If this pool realy should mean which unicycle style is most popular in
    the world then it is for sure just riding around on a learner unicycle.
    The first not just riding style is in my eyes freestyle mostly because
    of japan (but in germany there are also much more freestyler then
    extrem unicyclists I bet like 3000-5000 against 500-1000 extrem
    unicyclists).

  15. "What type of unjicycling is most popular? Do the poll"
    i did the poll but ive never heard of unjicycling, unicycling yes
    i voted trials street as they are two completely different things and
    are both popular so put together would makes the catagry even more
    popular.

    You're absolutely right. The forum owner likes to keep things wide open
    and unrestricted, and this is what we will get as a result. Until he
    decides to limit what new/inexperienced users are able to do, this will
    not change so it's better to not bother [censored] about it. It sure
    would be nice though, if there was an easy place to point these newbies
    to so they could read about all the recommendations/policies for this
    site in one simple place...

    BTW, for anyone who believes otherwise, polls on this site don't show
    anything in terms of general trends about unicyclists, because there
    are too few unicyclists here, and we're too specialized. We have an
    overabundance of Trials, Street, MUni and road riders here, and a much
    smaller percentage of everything else. Plus, the "average" rider is
    basically not represented at all. This is the 90+ percent of unicylists
    (in North America anyway) who have one unicycle, and ride it around
    their local neighborhood.

    I really wish the forum owner (Godby) would turn that stupid polling
    feature off...

  18. You should have asked, "What kind of unicycling is most popular on these
    forums?" As people have said, most are street, trails and muni people.
    But throughout the world, freestyle is by far the biggest and most
    popular especially in Japan, China and Europe.

  19. I voted other, as I don't really ride a unicycle yet. More like try not
    to fall off a unicycle. However, eventually I will for commuting and
    maybe a bit of offroad trails.

    On another forum I visit frequently new users are directed to the rules

    #EDIT# Also, why can't I vote for Trials -and- Muni. I do both, so if I
    voted the poll would be more inaccurate than it already is.
