riding budys

4) I dont ride with anyone. i live the sad lonely life of a unicyclist
in crabville (maryland). theres a thread about unicyclists in the
D.C./richmond area in "just conversation", so hopefully i'll find some
people to ride with from there. at this point in time, the closest
person i know that unicycles is Trip Glazer (muniracer), who lives about
45 minutes away. also, i think he's a bit beyond me skillwise... :p

perhaps if i just ride around everywere in public, someone will
ultimately come up and tell me that they ride too. its worth a shot.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

well, I dont ride with anyone, but I have heard that if you ride with
someone, you will get better really fast. kind of like with Dan Heaton
and street unicycling. he would have invented it sooner, but there isnt
anyone for him to ride with around his college campus. if there isnt
anyone to ride with, you usually dont push yourself as much. and about
Muniracer, if he is a bit beyond you skillwise, that is a good thing.
ride with him. he will make you push yourself harder, and if you are
doing something wrong, or need advice on how to pull something off, he
can help you with it. Ideally, you want to ride with someone better than
you. That always helps. you will be amazed at how fast you progress. I
have learned this from my days of riding BMX. you will push yourself
without even knowing it.

1)who do you ride most with? My Dad
2)do they make you ride better? No, but I make him ride better :p
3)how did you meet? When I was born
4)anything else you want 2 say: I ride best with Simon McAndrew. He is
an awesome rider, and pushes me! I wouldnt be able to do half the stuff
I can do without him! We dont ride trials the often with eachother, but
when we do, it great!
if you don't ride with anyone put some details someone might look: I
only ride with my dad, but if there is anyone from in or around
Newcastle-Upon-Tyne (UK), please pm/email me.

Joe,

riding around in downtown Grand Rapids, I've found 3 or 4 people that
can ride a unicycle. One of them might actually be interested in getting
into it more...

I first started riding with Scott Wallis (S_Wallis) and Scott Stephens
after meeting them on the trail while mountain biking. Then mkuhfahl
found me on Bikemojo.com. I later ran into Joe Wilson while he was
teaching his daughter to ride on a basketball course. Through Scott, I
have met quite a few other riders from another city about 100 miles
north of us. They are all more experienced than me and I have learned
quite a bit from them

I got no one, so if you live in Nova Scotia, we should ride together.

1) Myself, I never can't do new things with others around me. Don't ask
why.
4) I tried to get as much better unicyclist than I am around me. And ask
them questions. Frequently given answer was: "just practise" or "yeah,
just like that, but then better".
So in short: think about how to tackle your mistakes.
If you make three times the same error; think about how to prevent it.
Everything you do wrong (no matter what trick) is
a) strearing
b) speed
or
c) both
(except for coasting where you cannot control speed).
So whatever trick you want to learn: the more you think, the less you
have to do, unless all you do is thinking, then the result is that you
do nothing.

1) I ride with my younger brother sometimes
2)No, I make him ride better.
3)Obvious.
4)There is another guy in my neighborhood who used to unicycle. I rode
with him once for about five minutes. I've also met three other
unicyclists or ex-unicyclists while just riding around, but as far as I
could tell, only one of them still did it at all.

a) I ride with with my mates lewis and ryan, sometimes my girlfriend who
has a uni and is learning
b) were all roughly the same level at riding which means we push each
other, once ryan has nailed a particualr gap then you have to do it,
even if it scares you beacuse you get left behind. and it pushes me to
get better than the other by trying new stuff which then pushes them.
c) through school before we could uni though....
d) i know of 5/6 other riders/ppl that can ride in the area aswell,

1) I ride with my buddies Frank and Tim mostly, and when my brother
(Sockmonstr) is around, I ride with him.

2) I think my brother and I both make each other ride better. We'll
teach each other our new skills and attempt new ones together. We had
our first rockhopping excursion in Bar Harbor, Maine. Got a little
analog video of it. I doubt it will ever become digitized.

3) I met Frank and Tim on campus at UMAINE. Unicyclists like to band
together, not like other sports like skateboarding where there's that
competetive macho staredown sometimes. Unicyclists will see you on the
street and come running after you "HEY I CAN DO THAT TOO!!"

4) I got my wife a used Miyata flamingo at a yard sale, but she doesn't
like to ride where people can see her, and now that we live in downtown
Bangor, Maine, she doesn't ride with me at all.

How many Unicyclists have significant others that ride with them?

I'm with my best riding buds now!

Simon and Aaron have came over to mine for the weekend. Friday, Saturday
and Sunday. Pure unicycle fun and stupidity!

Just watch this space for the video! :P

I want to go and meet up with Ben (thinuniking), Phil (again) and
TreePotato.
Hopefully I will get the train down some time. Maybe for a unimeet - not
this coming one though! 🙁

Joe, (Simon and Aaron too)
