  1. 2007 was a great year for unicycling for me.

    I got back in unicycling on a fairly regular basis.
    Use my unicycle for commuting to work (Plus play hockey 2 - 3 times a
    week). As a by-product of this I am now in the best shape in my life.

    2008 is not to far off and for a change I actually have some new years
    resolutions.

    Here they are.

    1) Qualify for Ride the Lobster
    2) Attend RTL (either as spectator, helper, rider)
    3) Continue commuting to work
    4) Learn to ride backwards more then 2 strokes
    5) Learn to hop forwards and higher.
    6) Learn two new mounts
    7) Add a 3rd unicycle to my collection (Dedicated for RTL)

    $10K?

    My new years resolution is to hit a 3spin, and get the courage to jump
    a 10 stair I pass every day on the way to school.

    2007 was a good unicycling year for me too.

    I finally didn't dismiss the idea of taking up unicycling again. I did
    something about it and survived retraining my body to adjust to one
    wheel. Since then I've discovered off road riding, riding skinnies,
    popping off curbs and over low obstacles and can now idle, do a few
    backward rotations, and freemount a 29 which less than a year ago I
    couldn't even imagine myself riding such a big wheel.

    What is in store for 2008...

    Goals
    1. static mount the 29
    2. backward rotations on the 24 and 29 (also like Legtod for more than
    a few rotations)
    3. get riding with a partner or group which might mean organizing a uni
    group or yes even ride with bicyclists 😉
    4. survive my new metal pinned petals (I've never used metal)
    5. become as comfortable on a 36 as I am now on the 29
    6. volunteer regularly to help maintain the trails around my area
    7. plan and survive a ride of at least 50 miles... then try 100
    8. I also want to learn to juggle.. not juggle on the uni but just
    learn to juggle. I think the mental and physical challenge would be
    good.
    9. cheer on those participating in Ride the Lobster
    10. support unicyclist.com as best as I can

  16. My only unicycling resolution is to improve my seat-out trials skills,
    which are currently tentative at best. I expect my other unicycle
    skills to improve by virtue of the rides I do and the aforementioned
    resolution, so no other resolution is required.

    New goals to add to my list, put my 36er on a diet, and attempt to
    replicate my 23.5mph (37.8kph)personal best but do it in a velodrome on
    an official timed flying 200m sprint I'll need video and photos too.

  18. i would have a resolution for the year but my 2007 resolution was to not
