on new years day I found a guy who learnt in 20 seconds! Let me tell you
the story:
Myself and my mate pete were riding from my mates house to Leeds station
to catch a train back home. We were more hung over than I think I've
ever been, we'd spent new year's eve at a place with a free bar that
we'd stayed at 'til silly 'o clock in the morning playing bongos and
geetar. So you can imagine the state we were in. After a 2 hour ride
through torrential rain and wind and snapping a seat base along the way
we got to the station and mad a beeline to the cafe and ordered coffee.
Whilst we were sat there a group of several scallies looking quite
wasted still from the night before came out of the cafe. They all
wandered past us and noticed the unicycles and made the usual dense
scally comments and the largest of the lot gave Pete's 2 week old Muni a
kick in a typical display of dense scallyness as he went past. After
passing us he then turned back and said "let's 'av a go on vat". me and
pete were a bit worried he'd run off with it, but before we could say
anything he'd picked it up and was trying to get on it. So we gave a
warning about pedals and shins and helped him on. He went about 9 or 10
meters supported by his mate, then turned around whilst holding on to a
train timetable sign and rode back....Completely unaided....without a
wobble!!!
I went and shook his hand and asked if he'd done it before. He said he
hadn't, but that he'd done 14 pills (tablets of ecstacy) the night
before...And looking at him I could have believed it. They actually
turned out to be an alright bunch despite first impressions.
Anyway, I was rather impressed...Not to mention envious. I wonder if
he'll take up unicycling in the future....
