  1. Hey, I'm supposed to interview a fellow unicyclist for an
    advanced composition paper - if you could all answer these
    questions or even just some of them it would be quite
    helpful. Thank you Much.

    1) How long have you been unicycling
    2) What style of unicycling do you most enjoy, what are
    some examples of skills you know.
    3) What was the reason you began unicycling
    4) How has unicycling effected your life.
    5) Have you met any new good friends through unicycling
    6) Do you feel there is anything different or special
    about unicyclists
    7) Would you rather unicycle by yourself or with others -
    why is this more beneficial.
    8) how much money have you invested in unicycling - is
    it worth it?
    9) Will you someday or have you already taught your kids
    to unicycle.
    10) What benefits do you feel have come from unicycling

    Feel free to give any other information about yourself or
    interesting facts about unicycling, yourself, or anything.

    Thanks a lot to those who reply - you dont have to answer
    every question, just put the number the question is by your
    answer (or don't).

  2. sorry but my enter key isnt working too hot 1) 1 year. 2)
    trials- hopping, seat out, pedal grab, 1 foot stuff,
    working on 1 foot ww but still stink like crazy at it. 3)
    my bro and friends were doing it. 4) it has become an
    obsession. it supplements my physical strength as well as
    my balance. it gives me something to do competitively. 5) i
    have met a lot of people, that i talk to often, and it has
    strengthened relationships with unicyclists i already knew.
    6) we are superior 😄 . no really, i think different people
    are naturally attracted to the sport. 7) rather with others
    but always do it by myself. its fun either way. 8)
    personally, 300, but i recieved more from gifts and stuff.
    9) yes. 10) see #4. about me: i like to read classic
    literature, like dostoevsky, tolstoy, nabokov, gogol,
    kafka, camus, mishima, etc. etc. etc. i like electronic
    music like aphex twin and squarepusher. if you want more
    thorough answers, PM me. -Trip

  3. 1) Half a year.

    2) I don't have a favorite style. I enjoy both long
    distance riding (on a 28"😉 as well as mountain
    unicycling. Skills? I now how to ride a unicycle.

    3) I got a unicycle for my birthday and started because I
    just had a unicycle.

    4) Life is more pleasant!

    5) No, not yet. I ride most of the times with -before
    unicycling friends-

    6) I don't think so.

    7) I prefer riding with others, it's nice to see others
    unicycling and chat a little while unicycling.

    8) Enough.....It is worth it!

    9) I don't have kids yet. But if I had, I hope they find a
    nice hobby and/or sport. It doesn't have to be
    unicycling.

    10) At the moment unicycling is my sport and it makes me
    feel good. I unicycle very often, what keeps my body in
    shape. I like visiting nature and do this a lot now
    with one of my unicycles. Maybe I am more in balance
    now then before I could ride a unicycle.

    3.5 years.

    MUni. I'm not very good at skills. I'm about level 3.

    Quoted message said:

    3) What was the reason you began unicycling


    Join my daughter who could ride, and have as much fun
    as she had.

    Quoted message said:

    4) How has unicycling effected your life.


    I finally found a sport I like.

    Quoted message said:

    5) Have you met any new good friends through unicycling


    Some.

    Quoted message said:

    6) Do you feel there is anything different or special
    about unicyclists


    In general, unicyclists are great people! Social, not too
    conformative (if that is a word).

    Quoted message said:

    7) Would you rather unicycle by yourself or with others -
    why is this more beneficial.


    There is a time for both. I would like to ride more often
    with others than I have an opportunity for. Beneficial for
    social reasons, and to learn (mutual challenge).

    Quoted message said:

    8) how much money have you invested in unicycling - is it
    worth it?


    Maybe €1200. Absolutely worth it. About to spend more.

    Quoted message said:

    9) Will you someday or have you already taught your kids
    to unicycle.


    I taught both kids to ride. The oldest one before I could
    ride myself.

    Quoted message said:

    10) What benefits do you feel have come from unicycling


    Great hobby. Something else to do with your kids. Physical
    exercise - finally. Meeting great people - online and in
    real life.
