    Get the contact info of everyone interested and figure out a couple of
    times most of them can meet.

    For your meetings you should meet at the same time and place every
    week, even if it's just you. IMO you should meet somewhere near or on
    campus during lunch or right after school's out for the day. For other
    stuff, like Muni, road, trials, etc. rides at sertain locations, notify
    a week in advance at the previous week's ride and by group e-mail.

    time do it along the way.- Bob Burnquist

    Well, that sucks about your club poofengle, hopefully that won't happen
    to me. I already have a teacher that says she would be the "leader."
    It won't be able to start unitl next school semester, so hopefully
    we'll get everything set up by then.

    I don't think we'll be doing that much other than street riding. My
    friend actually got me hooked on unicycling, so I've only been riding
    for about two weeks, but I ride everyday to school with him. I was
    going to use the summer to get better then when school rolls around, we
    will be able to teach and demonstrate and I won't make a fool of
    myself.

    Anyways, thanks for the ideas everyone. If you have any more, let me
    know.

    Also, is Schwinn a good seat to buy, because the one that came with my
    Sun 24 inch is absolutely horrible on the butt area?

    From my experience, Schwinn seats are NOT good seats. The bumpers keep
    falling off because the screws will not stay in. As for comfort, they
    are okay for learning but when you start doing longer rides they are
    not real comfortable.

    What would be a good seat then? I've been riding for about two weeks
    and I have been practicing everyday practically so I'm starting to get
    pretty sore. I ride to school everyday now so I need to get one soon.
    My friend has a Schwinn seat and it's pretty comfortable. I just need
    a better, more comfortable seat because I'll be riding about everyday
    from now on but I don't have a lot of money to buy one that is
    expensive.

    I'm going to push my teachers to get the uni club on the schedule for
    next year, because they obviously won't start one this year 😠. If
    they still disregard my thoughts on a club, then I'll rally a
    bring-your-unicycle-to-school day. Perhaps they'll listen then...

    On the matter of seats-
    I've got a nimbus seat and I like it alot. It's thin and light like a
    kris holm seat, but they're cheaper cuz they don't have the name brand
    on them. They're easy to do tricks with and they're pretty comfortable
    to ride on too. They're 'here' (http://tinyurl.com/6oa6dl) if you want
    to look at them.

    One thing you'll definitely want is a handle, and pricewise, nimbus
    seats are some of the cheapest that come with handles on them. I don't
    really like Onza or Torker seat because they don't feel very
    comfortable, but that's just my opinion.

    'Here' (http://tinyurl.com/4ytcek) is the UDC page for saddles if you
    want to look at some others.

    Good luck with your club 🙂
