  1. I was recently wondering - whenever I have some caffeinated beverage
    such as a large coke, a Mt. Dew, coffee, or Monster, I get sorta wobbly
    and gittery on the unicycle and I feel like I do everything so fast and
    gittery the tricks always fail. When I don't have any caffeine or very
    little I feel really relaxed and the unicycle tricks are controlled and
    usually pull through. Any thoughts on this?

    Tyler- That is a good observation. It shows that you are better off
    without the caffein. Caffein is a stimulant drug. Your body functions
    better without stuff like this. You will probably find that you sleep
    better if you don't drink caffeinated beverages. I enjoy an occasional
    morning cup of coffee but not more than one per day and I have just
    about given up Coke, Pepsi, Mt. Dew, etc.

  9. I recently gave up caffeine for two months as I read that this is the
    amount of time it takes to start feeling better, can't say I felt
    wonderful but possibly now have a bit more energy through the day at
    work so now I only drink coffee now and again, it is though good no
    longer being addicted to the stuff and not having to drink it all the
    time, I find the stuff has more effect though now and is great for when
    I do need a boost or need to stay awake, as for unicycling, I can't say
    that I'm any better or worse after drinking coffee.

  11. i don't notice any differnce. then again i drink quite a bit of cola
    each day. tyler, you just gotta keep drinking lots of caffeine, you'll
    develop a tolerance and you'll get a slightly lift from it without the
    jitteriness.

    That was one huge great long sentence, I was running out of breath and
    getting quite panicky by the end. Is that what too much caffeine is
    like? 🙂

    I wouldn't know anything about that. But riding while extremely high on
    marijuana is interesting.

    Or so I'm told. 😉

  19. You also got to consider body weight.A higher dose will effect a smaller
    person more than a bigger one unless of course, you've built up a
    tolerance for it......whether it be coke or Coke(Registered TM of the

    At least save it for the trail, unlike my classmates, who choose to do
