Unicycle "Clinic"

MuniAddict said:

I'm thinking of placing an ad in a few local papers offering Unicycling
lessons, or maybe even a group "clinic" mfor beginners! This might be a
fun way to introduce our sport to more people, many who may have
already thought about learning, but didn't have enough info or know how
to get started.

Part of the reason would also be to get some new riders in my area as
there is virtually nobody else but me in the local area! And since I
have several unis I could use some of them as "loaners", and I know of
at least one LBS that sells the torker lx and stocks it on a regular
basis, so I'm thinking there's got to be some people locally that are
at least trying to learn that I don't know about.

sounds like a good plan to me.

Good luck with it

I think it would be really cool if I found some people in my age range
that used to also ride as a kid and want to re-learn! Then I could have
some fellow "Geezers" to ride with too!:p

I was in my bike shop showing them my modded bike frame, and the guy
mentioned 3 people bought unicycles that week 🙂 He said he thought of
me every time he sold one.

Just remember that most people your age are getting around using a
walker. 😄 Seriously, your idea sounds good. I've been thinking about
doing something like that where I live. I have plenty of unused
unicycles in my collection available to the noob. I'll be watching to
see how you make out.

I was thinking about it right after I posted it.

I think I might go tomorrow and give them a paper with my number on the
bottom in little slits, I have always wanted to make one of those.

I'm going to hand out cards that have my name & phone number, and
Uni-logo and below it'll say "join the club!"

I'd talk to the bike shop to help you promote a demo there. Put up some
simple props and demonstrate the various forms of uni (all stuff w/
full pads and little risk of a UPD - a bigish one could scare off
newcomers)

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.
Parafrasing a pro skater when asked for advise to kids who wanted to
get much better and maybee turn pro one day.

Offering clinics is an excellent idea. Everyone should do it!

Terry, the easiest way is to recruit one uni-bunny. Have her ride in
front of the pack. Now watch your membership skyrocket with guys your
age.

Terry,

let me know about it so I can put it in my handy dandy unicycle flier :
)

BTW can I come? I can bring cookies... 🙂

Borgschulze,

I have a basic Uni flier with helpful websites on it. Do you want a
copy? You would just have to erase the information about SoCal
riders/groups and you would be good to go...
