  1. 'Here's the thread for last years resolutions'
    (http://tinyurl.com/ymqghz), how did everyone do?
    Mine were as follows:

    *ride a LOT more often.*
    I guess I did this, while it was warm out I rode my coker to school
    almost every day, but during the summer I was away most of the time so
    I didn't really ride then.
    *I'd like to pimp my Coker too.*
    Yep! I got an airfoil rim with extra wide UDC hub, a gel saddle, a GB4
    handle (unless I got that before 2006...I don't remember) and new crank
    arms. Still need to get a break.
    *possibly get a MUni.*
    Nope.
    *go to Moab!!! I hope....*
    *also, do some serious long distance riding. I want to successfully be
    able to do a century on my coker by the end of 2006.*
    I did do long distance riding more often, but I certainly can't do a
    century yet.

    For this next year I would really like to either get a MUni, or do some
    MUni on my coker...I just really want to MUni, a lot. That's my main
    goal for 2007.
    And lots of distance rides on my coker.

    WHAT ARE YOURS???
    (:

  2. I don't have any from last year to dig up, so this is my list for 2007.

    - Finish customizing my trials uni.
    - Finish a 100 mile ride.
    - Help friends improve more.
    - Improve my own riding.
    - Make more videos.

    That's about it unicycle wise, for this year.

    Mr. Potter, it's New Years morning, there's nothing going on, take a
    break. Oh wait a minute, did you mean you need something to slow your
    Uni down with? I'm so confused.

    EDIT: 500th POST!

  5. OH MAN, did I really just spell brake, break? This is terrible. I'm
    going to blame it being 1 AM when I wrote it, and that sip of my dad's
    champagne I had...my other new years resolution will be not to make a
    ridiculous spelling error ever again!

    You've been around for 3-4 years and only just got your 500th post?
    Golly.

  8. At 2am, I was still going to be at work for another hour. Are we in some
    kind of time/space continuum? I'm so confused. Damn home brew.

    If you fail at unicycling or unicycle tricks, try again, when you try
    again. You will never fail.

  14. I couldn't find mine from last year and its very likely I didn't write
    them, but since I wish I had I guess I will make up some now for this
    year.

    Get a Miyata.
    Get a Muni (should be getting it this week).
    Be able to hop on rails or other skinny things perpendicularly.
    Do a 160 Km ride to my cottage (lots of hills and muni terrain).
    GLIDE, I can coast now but I still can't freaking glide!
    One foot coast.
    Stand up ww.
    One foot ww better.
    Pimp my coker (custom paint job, airfoil rim, tubeless conversion, ss
    spokes).
    Go to an international unicycle event (even Naucc is fine).

    Those should all be attainable, the only hard thing will be the Miyata
    since it will cost about 800 with shipping and border fees and the
    like.

    Now that sounds like something that might make a good video for the
    next BUC video competition. 🙂

    As for me - increase what I consider to be a long distance uni ride and
    get a bit better at other stuff like hockey.
