  1. Who here has helped create new unicyclist? I have, hear is my story.

    -----

    Well i've taught my younger brother how to unicycle, he is sixteen, and
    its quite fun ridding with him, avertly, he taught two of his friends
    to ride as well, i'd like some people closer to my age to ride with
    considering i'm 20, but i'd rather ride with three sixteen year olds
    then myself, so i'm happy to have the company I do, I currently have
    one KH Freeride, and a 20" dx, both my brothers friends are really into
    it, and plan on having a unicycle by this christmas, ones getting a
    qu-ax trials, and the other a Onza 24x3.0 Muni, my younger brother also
    wants a muni, but isn't sure when he'll be able to afford one, its
    great seeing how much quicker everyone learns then I or my brother did,
    probably because they see us dooing 5+ foot drops, and going down
    almost verticle slopes strewn with rocks, I think its mostly a mental
    thing, them going "They can do that, how hard can flat ground be?" One
    of my brothers friends was ridding about fifteen feet after an hour or
    so of practice.

  2. What is a Onza 24x3.0 muni?
    The standard has a 2.6" wide kenda kinetics tyre.. and i just love it..
    not as dull and heavy as a 3"!

    Edit:
    And yes it seems it's a lot easier for people who have a unicyclinst
    near by..
    Though many of them thinks the other way.. If he does it with such an
    ease, why aint i doing the same thing?
    he has better balance and such things.. really depressing.

    can you see the flag rising up beyond the smoke
    of dying authors burning books there was a problem with what they
    wrote
    the flag is hard to read because all flags start to look the same
    when covered with the blood of the faithless and insane

    Its just an onza with at duro tire on it, although you do have a good
    point, maybe I should convince him to get a 2.6 insted, so we can have
    some varience in our group, anyone know the rim width of the onza muni?

  7. my best advice to creating a new unicyclist is avoid birth control...but
    that's creating one from scratch.

  10. I've personally taught two, but those two have gone on to teach many
    more, and so on...I was the second person in Moscow to be a unicyclist
    (well, fourth actually, but two of 'em don't count) but now there's
    about fifteen people here who at least know how to ride.

    the other two who learned before me went to the University of Idaho,
    you've probably heard of both of them...George Peck went here, and
    Chris Reeder, inventor of the Reeder Handle. I've actually gone riding
    with Chris a couple times.

  11. Myself and one friend found out we could check out some really crappy
    unicycles on campus here about 2 years ago. We both gave it a try, he
    gave up after a day, I stuck with it. I talked to friends into
    learning with me. Today they teach a class through the university (for
    credit) involving instruction in three activities (juggling,
    unicycling, slacklining)...I also introduced them to slacklining. I
    also got my roommate and one other friend into unicycling and then
    eventually the friend who originally tried it with me. Now the six of
    us are quite the uni-gang. There are also about 10 people on campus
    now who can unicycle to some extent as a result of the class.

    I've only inspired others to discover unicycling. There's no creation
    going on here.

    I've inspired to 1 (get strated again) 2 learn. Thats 6 with all of the
    qualifiers.

  14. My three teenage sons and I Muni together, often with some other San
    Diego riders. I guess everyone ultimately teaches themselves to ride
    Uni. I would like to think I gave them a bit of inspiration...

    Actually, they all got real inspired by attending Cal Muni 2005, it was
    awesome for all of us.🙂

    We are all at about the 1 to 2 foot drop stage, but now they are
    starting to get better a lot faster than I am. I guess I'll have to
    start riding at lunch to keep up😄
