  3. I just told her i was gettin one, she thought i was joking until i
    actually got it!
    Now she doesnt care, she actually likes it i think🙂
    EDIT: Being that you are 13 i dont recommend just going and getting one
    like i did.

  7. Are you asking her if you can unicycle, or asking her to buy one for
    you? Cos there's a hell of a difference.

  10. When I wanted a unicycle I asked for one for Christmas. I didn't get
    one. They didn't think I'd ever learn to ride it. So I hunted through
    the local classified ads for a used unicycle (this was well before the
    internet and ebay). Found a used Schwinn 20" at an advertised garage
    sale. That was my first uni. I did learn to ride it.

    No, mine was from ebusiness supplies, however they both sell the same
    uni's... mine is yellow.
    It was great to learn on, but within 3 months i had got my Nimbus😄
    Still, nothing wrong with the 24, i just wanted something to try and
    bust some tricks on, and lets just say i am more than happy with my
    progress.
    I ended up getting my 24 for about 20-25 bucks plus the 29 for
    postage.
    If your lucky you might get it for around 10 plus postage... i have
    been watching them lately and at different times the price varies
    heaps.

  12. Why do you have to ask your mums permission to learn to unicycle?
    Sorry if that sounds rude, but I just find that a bit odd! Surely your
    mum can't stop you from doing something just because she thinks its
    weird!

    Rock on!

    I thought this at first, but looking back, my parents had some control
    over what i did when i was 13.

    20" its 2nd from the bottom but its got a big handle thingo and ill
    probably keep hitting it with my leg so ill just get the cheapy then
    get a nimbus II or sumfin later on. My mate is getting into unicyling

  16. Nar dude, thats just the quick release, you wont hit your leg on it.
    You will get one cheaper than that though, keep to the auction ones and
    get a bargain😉
    EDIT: there is one ending in a bit over an hour with no bids.

    You would think they would be happy that you are keen about taking up a
    healthy, worthwhile and constructive hobby! You could be taking drugs
    and mugging old ladies instead!

    Rock on!
