  1. For my structured writing class we had to do a how to brochure and so I
    obviously choose unicycling, which meant I could bring my unicycle into
    school today. I brought my Nimbus Trials, which I had also brought
    last semester and every thing went well then so I figured I wouldn’t
    have to worry about any problems. When I got to school I went to
    biology to hang out for a while before math and a bunch of people I
    know asked why I had a unicycle and I asked them why the didn’t.
    Whenever someone asked to try I let them because I knew that they
    couldn’t do it so they might was well try and have some fun. When I
    got to math class people were glad to see that I brought the uni again
    but after class was over I was standing in the hall talking to a friend
    when this teacher told me that I wasn’t suppose to have “those” in
    school and I said it was for a project and then she responded with an
    “oh” and I walked away. In my writing class my presentation went
    really good, I tired to idle when telling the information but I didn’t
    have a lot of space so I just stood there after I upd. The best part
    was when my teacher tried to unicycle, she didn’t really go far but she
    still got the experience and it was funny watching her. I had lunch
    next which was the best time to show off my skills. During lunch I had
    it under my table and several girls asked who’s unicycle that was and
    they were impressed and so after that I headed out to the courtyard
    where a bunch of people where. Last time I brought the unicycle to
    school everyone was watching me but I didn’t ride out in the open a lot
    because I thought the police officers might get [censored] at me but
    this time I saw that there was only one officer and I knew she was
    really nice and didn’t really care. The majority of people who wanted
    to try my unicycle where black girls, which I didn’t expect and I let
    they try because there wasn’t any harm in it. I started to ride around
    and everyone started looking at me so I did some tricks like wheel
    walking, seat out in front, and riding backwards. In the middle or the
    courtyard there’s this manhole cover that’s like a dome and comes out
    of the ground. I tried to rolling hop over it but the first two times
    I had the cranks in the wrong position so I kind of just flew off it
    but the third time I made it and everyone was clapping and stuff. I
    was about to do some more things like suicide mount but then the bell
    rang so I headed off to biology. After biology I went to gym and I
    asked my teacher if I could put something in his room. He expected
    something small but was surprised when he looked up and saw that it was
    a unicycle, and so I told him that I would show him some tricks after
    class. After class in a skinny hallway I did some stuff that did
    previously like seat in back, wheel walking, and one footed with a
    large on looking crowd. After the bell rang I was going to the
    courtyard again and some people asked to try it and this one guy must
    have learned a while ago because he was able to go for a while and turn
    around but had to start off at a wall. This girl and her friends asked
    me to ride which I did and they were all amazed and she said thanks and
    that it made her day and this other guy said he hadn’t ridden since he
    was 6 but my seat was to high so he couldn’t do it. Over all I had
    probably 11 or people try it and I came to these conclusions:
    1) *Unicyclists really are girl magnets*
    2) *Unicycles will make you cooler.*

  2. Sounds fun, and also it sounds like you were a good ambassador for the
    sport.

    As you referred to structured writing, might I make so bold as to
    suggest the occasional paragraph? It makes reading so much easier. If
    you put a lot of effort into writing something, you want to know people
    will enjoy reading it.

    In normal writing, paragraphs can be shown by indenting the first word
    of the first line of the new paragraph. However, for writing on
    screen, it helps to separate the paragraphs with a space, like I have
    done in this post. Use a new paragraph for each new idea.

    Let's have some more of these stories of how much we enjoy our sport.

    I fall with my upper body travelling backwards and my lower body
    travelling forwards from 5' up and hit the concrete with my tailbone
    and right elbow. It hurt, but I found it quite funny.

  8. That was a good story, I have brought my uni to school twice for
    projects. One time my friend tried to ride and he UPDed right away and
    fell into a pile of backpacks and cut his leg open. He got blood all
    over his sock but it was really funny.

    The supervisor people at my school are really uptight and they wouldn't
    let me carry it around. I brought it for my video production class last
    year and of course I was dressed as a clown for our movie and we were
    filming outside and they tried to take me to the office for having the
    uni but I talked them out of it because we were filming. I would never
    walk all the way across campus and sit in the office wearing a clown
    suit.

    Oh and when I brought it for an English project I left it in there all
    day and I heard from friends in other periods that my teacher was
    trying to ride it, I don't think he mastered the "sitting on it" part
    yet and nut himself.🙂

  9. did you get any phone numbers out of the whole thing? I took my uni to
    school once for a presentation about myself, but I kept it in a bag all
    day. I don't like too much attention.

    1.) Girl magnets erase the magnetic strips on your credit card. Stay
    away from them.

    2.) You are already cooler. Unicycles just allow other people to make
    that realization.
