Day one: Who knew that giraffe riding would be so exciting…
Now, having finally attained a giraffe unicycle, I find
myself with a great deal of respect for those people who can
actually get on the damn thing without falling on their
butts! After only two goes at riding, I tried to free mount
only to end up face up on the ground. Didn’t think free
mounting a giraffe would be so hard! 🙂
Anyway, the only uni-related thing I got was the giraffe… no
movies or gear or anything. Either way I’m pretty glad I own
a giraffe. It’s quite an experience and relatively easy to
ride, it’s just the getting on that’s the trick.
Day two: I’ve finally managed to mount the giraffe without
clinging onto the gutters of my house so all I need it a
high enough ledge to get my crotch in the saddle. I’m not
quite sure that the united saddle would be good enough to
attempt a free mount just yet. I’m quite comfortable now
with riding it and can take some time enjoying the height
without focusing on the wheel or my feet.
I’m almost ready to begin the “Great Giraffe Project” but
I’m waiting till I get back to school to order stuff and
plan a paint job. Perhaps I’ll order a uni-movie with all
that stuff since Santa skipped that part of my list.
I’ve began to notice a slight scraping sound about my hub. I
think the protrusion on the hub is scraping against the
chainwheel. If that is so, then I hope it won’t develop into
a big problem, and regular lubrication will keep it rotating
smoothly and quietly (though that would be quite annoying).
Well it’s time to set down the giraffe for now… I’m
taking a train up to Milwaukee, WI for a three day
holiday with my aunt.
