    BUSKING!
    what is busking? busking is performing in public and people put money
    in a hat for you if they think youve done a good job.
    where to do it- somewhere in your local town where it is busy. check
    your local council if you need a permit.
    what type of unicycling should you do- trials/street and circus. Its
    good if you can perform tricks as well as juggling on a unicycle and
    riding a giraffe unicycle.

    I personally ride a chain-driven unicycle (girrafe) in Adelaide, SA,
    Australia. I put out a hat and ride around while juggling a bit for 2-3
    hrs. I make about 70$ at average (AUS dollars).

    Just ask if you have anymore questions

    I'm South Aussie. I accidentally signed in in my wrong account.(spelled
    my name wrong haha:o ) Only just starting to learn to ride at the
    moment. Don't get enough time to practice though to be getting much
    good. Another month or so and I should have a lot more time free to
    learn.

    If i'm ever going through town i'll keep an eye out. Don't get in much
    these days. With the fringe and busking coming up I might have to have
    a look around. Should be some cool stuff.

    Anyways thats all completely off topic now. Sorry.

    'busking' is a term used around the world, but they are also known in
    some places as 'street performers'.

    "busking" is a British English term; it's not in common use in American
    English.

    yeah i wouldnt want to make a fool out of my self :eek: (any more than i
    have already lol) but a realy want to go to covent garden in london,
    there are always profesional street performers there who have huge
    audiences all the time.
    i saw some one there with a giraffe unicycle but he needed three
    people and a wall to get on it. ok admitedly he was juggling while
    riding but ive always wanted to go and show them up by proving a
    teenager can ride one of them crazy clown bikes too, and then do a
    couple tricks on my trials unicycle😄 i just think it would be qute
    funny.

    I think street performers often use audience members to help them mount
    giraffes. It's a good opportunity to involve members from the crowd
    which is always good. I watched a guy last year at Winchester hat fair
    last year and the most entertaining part of the routine was just him
    mounting the uni.

    Maybe he could actually freemount?

    I saw the same guy when i was there a few months back, i was quite

    could do a lot better out of unicycling at covent garden

    Busking is a pretty common American word. We have lots of "Busker Fairs"
    now.

    It's a great way to create an act and make money. a good performer will
    make $200 to $300 a show.

    Most street performers who unicycle will clown it up a bit. Use
    audience members to help them get on, they'll ride around all
    "out-of-control" for awhile.

    I was a busker for over 20 years and I still get out once a year or so
    to hawk up a crowd and pass the hat. It's like free money.
