Hello all! I've lurked these forums for a few months, and I
think that now is a good time to jump into the fray.
Without going through my whole life story, I found
unicycling on Christmas while at my relatives' house. They
had a cheap, little unicycle with a way-too-low seat. To top
things off, I was feeling a bit nauseous from some bug I had
picked up during my time home. I tried and I failed. Dizzy
and disoriented, I gave up after 15 minutes or so. However,
for some odd reason, I thought, "hey, this would be great,"
so I started looking up unicycle information online. Since
this community is so (unfortunately) tiny, finding good
resources isn't hard to do. And, thusly, I ended up here.
Over the next few days I read everything I could about this
sport. I picked up so much insight before ever getting on
another unicycle. After a -lot- of researching, I ended up
ordering a 20" Torker LX and, upon receiving the delivery,
got to work on January 6. I was up and riding free about a
week later and now, after a little less than three months,
I'm an unofficial Level 2 rider.
I'd just like to take time now in this horribly long post to
thank all of you guys for being here as part of the best
group of people around. The unicycling community possesses a
level of camaraderie and goodwill that one cannot find just
anywhere. Even the most skilled riders are down to earth and
humble, willing to lend helpful advice to the newest of
newbies. Thanks.
Anyway, now that I've made my "ceremonial" first post, I
reckon I'll be posting here more often than never, initially
with some questions concerning my first big purchase and
whatever other areas I can offer a bit of assistance or
interesting conversation. This post is way too long, so I
think it's time to stop typing.
Thanks a lot,
Allen
