  1. in reference to that
    http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55283 thread, i'd
    like to emphasize the following thoughts.

    New Koxx-uni:
    Black Domina
    http://www.sensiseeds.com/blackdomina/1p2311.html

    Just a coincidence?

    some other unis of Koxx:
    White Widdow
    http://www.sensiseeds.com/whitewidow/5p2000.html

    Orange Bud
    http://www.sensiseeds.com/orangebud/1p2070.html
    and some more....

    Does not look like…
    And that is anything but cool, fancy or funny. Its simply stupid…
    and most of all, its damaging the reputation of all unicyclists and the
    image of a sport that is getting more and more popular in resent years,
    especially among children. Which makes the practise calling koxx
    unicycles after Cannabis- varieties even more questionable. Its
    irresponsible to name sports equipment which is used by children after
    drugs.

    What comes next?
    Get the new cocaine-unicycle: with the faboulous stardust saddle, the
    incredible blow-tire and the unbeatable snow-brakes. Also highly
    recommendable our new heroin clothing line. Is that the direction we
    want unicycling to develop?

    Yoggi is at liberty to harm his own health within his own four walls,
    however I think trivalizing drug abuse and litteraly pulling the clean
    image unicycling into the dirt is absolutly to dismiss.
    Unicycling is a clean sport, i want it to remain clean. Therefore i
    would apreciate to see that detrimental name giving policy of koxx
    products stopped.

    A name is not only a name, its also carrying a message. And the message
    that Koxx poducts currently carry is: Smoking Ganja and unicycling
    belong together. Destroying your brain with THC is cool, go for
    it!
    it is not "also" the name for a drug. the names for this unicycle
    obviously was picked BECAUSE it is a name for a drug. and there is
    absolutly no reason for doeing so, since there are so many other things
    that could be used as name giver for unicycles, it does not have to be
    drugs.

    I usually hate people like you, but being drug free is a big part of my
    life because of how the rest of my family is. If I was offered a free
    car painted with drug symbols all over it and was told I couldn't pain
    over it, I wouldn't take it.

  5. Hehe I would just to scare people^^ But dude you need to relax. Most
    people don't give two [censored] if the makers of K1 are potheads. They
    produce quality unicycles. And yes unicycling is addictive but Pot
    isn't. Not saying it's good for you but man do your research.

    I would buy them because of the names.

    I won't buy Koxx because they reference to drugs, and like I said in my
    previous post.

    And an eating disorder is better than a non addicting drug. It's just
    a name. I hope you don't watch Dave Chappelle or Cheech and
    Chong.

    I find comedy funny.

    I find real life drugs harmful. After realizing the names, I wouldn't
    want to be riding around on an Orange Bud saddle thanks.

    Why do you keep posting if you're saying the same thing. I personally
    won't buy it because I keep my life as drug free as possible because of
    family issues. You saying it's just a name is taken offensively by me.

    Plenty of people ride Koxx, and I'm fine with that, but my personal
    preference is to not ride Koxx.

    People are suffereing from "center of the world" phenomenon here.

    I am sure that if you publicized the fact that Koxx uses slang names
    for pot for all their components and organized a boycott, their sales
    would go up. Why? Because their core demographic is disaffected white
    suburban teenaged boys, and guess what? That demographic thinks pot
    usage is cool! This is definitely an "all publicity is good publicity"
    situation.

    U have just repeated yourself over three times. I think that we should
    stay cool and agree to disagree. You find drugs harmful, yet there is
    proof that weed is not harmful, or slightly addictive. It can become a
    habit, like anything else.

  14. I agree, it's pretty sad that Yoggi doesn't have enough brain cells left
    to think of a name that doesn't have to do with mj.

    I have repeated myself because he added new content to his post, that's

    I am also fine with you riding around on a seat with a leaf on it.

    Your reasurch is bad or non-existant. Pot is chemically addictive,
    although not as much as other drugs (even legal ones).

    addiction (n.) Compulsive physiological and psychological need for a
    habit-forming substance: a drug used in the treatment of heroin
    addiction.
    addiction (n.) The condition of being habitually or compulsively
    occupied with or or involved in something.

    Anything can become addictive and some are good: physical fitness, good
    nutrition, love. And yes, for me, unicycling has been addictive. For
    each skill I learn to do, the more I want to learn.

  20. EDIT:

    You are all stupid!

    Happy? lol

    I just find this thread pretty stupid. Some people wont like what Koxx
    names their uni products, but I am surprised if they argue about that,
    then why dont they argue about the brand name of Koxx. Sounds pretty
    familiar to a certain part on a guy. *Cough* Penis! [censored]! *cough*

    I really couldn't care what they call their unis, what reason they have
    behind it, or anything about how they get the names. They can call
    their next uni they make the 'Pot Smoker'. As long as they are making
    quality parts, thats good enough for me.

    Its their business, and its their decision on how to name their
    products. Besides, its Koxx, the company with unicyclist who will pose
    and do a street run on his uni naked. They are the wild, crazy side of
    the trials world. They probably have the most publicity than any other
    trials brand.
