of skills you know.
3) What was the reason you began unicycling
4) How has unicycling effected your life.
5) Have you met any new good friends through unicycling
6) Do you feel there is anything different or special about
unicyclists
7) Would you rather unicycle by yourself or with others - why is this
more beneficial.
8) how much money have you invested in unicycling - is it worth it?
9) Will you someday or have you already taught your kids to unicycle.
10) What benefits do you feel have come from unicycling

Feel free to give any other information about yourself or interesting

sorry but my enter key isnt working too hot 1) 1 year. 2) trials-
hopping, seat out, pedal grab, 1 foot stuff, working on 1 foot ww but
still stink like crazy at it. 3) my bro and friends were doing it. 4)
it has become an obsession. it supplements my physical strength as well
as my balance. it gives me something to do competitively. 5) i have
met a lot of people, that i talk to often, and it has strengthened
relationships with unicyclists i already knew. 6) we are superior :D .
no really, i think different people are naturally attracted to the
sport. 7) rather with others but always do it by myself. its fun
either way. 8) personally, 300, but i recieved more from gifts and
stuff. 9) yes. 10) see #4. about me: i like to read classic
literature, like dostoevsky, tolstoy, nabokov, gogol, kafka, camus,
mishima, etc. etc. etc. i like electronic music like aphex twin and
squarepusher. if you want more thorough answers, PM me. -Trip

1.) 2yrs. 3 mos.
2.)Mountain unicycling is the favorite. I put the fattest tire I could
find on mine not long after learning to ride. I learned to ride
off-road and still prefer it over any other type of riding. I can go up
and down pretty steep hills, hop about a foot into the air, drop off of
ledges up to about 2 ft.(afraid of breaking equipment) do several styles
of mounts including suicide, idle in place and ride backwards.
3.)I wanted to do it to prove that I could do it. An incredible
personal challenge for a middle aged man!
4.)Unicycling has literally changed my life! It has taken front seat as
a hobby over motorcycling, boogie boarding, camping, fishing etc.
5.)I've made a few new friends unicycling, but mostly improved
friendships that already existed. I've taught several people how to
ride.
6.)Yes, I do think that unicyclists are a unique lot! It appeals to
people with real personality. It does not seem to appeal to dull
people!
7.)There is a place for both, but my favorite is usually with my kids.
8.)Probably about $3000.00 including 15 unicycles and a trip to Moab
recently. Of course it's been worth it! I just sold my Ducati 916
motorcycle because I want to upgrade our equipment!
9.)They all(5 of them) know how to ride, but I can't really say I taught
them. They learned at my house, but on their own!
10.)My physical conditioning and balance have certainly improved, but
the biggest benefit has been an improved relationship with each of my
kids! We've always ben a close family but this common interest has
pulled us even closer together. We encourage each other without being
too competetive. We invariably end up getting positive strokes when we
go out as a group in public, and as our riding improves so does the
praise. Nobody wants to miss out on that, so everyone is eager to go
out and ride almost every day! Momma doesn't ride but is very aware of
all the benefits to our family :)

1) About a year
2) I love doing off-road, freestyle and trials (I say trials- I suck at
it!) I can crank grab, pedal grab on a good day, wheelwalk, 270- (not
720, but 3/4s!), hop on the tyre, 180 unispin, a few mounts, one footed,
seat out stuff etc etc.
3) Got bored and wanted a random skill so my girlfriend bought me a
uni!
4) Have a serious hobby now, love to ride, to atttempt new terrain and
tricks, what I'm gonna buy blah blah blah!
5) Well, I know a couple of part-time unicyclists a bit better than I
did, but no-one who rides seriously.
6) Definately, I've only got forum stuff to go on really, but everyone
is always ready to help you out, talk about their own experiences and
really make an effort. I don't no if that is because it's a minority
sport, but there seems to be a real sense of community amongst
uniyclists. Plus of course the physical side of things- super strong
legs, better balance, x-ray vision etc.
7) Well, I've only ever ridden with the guys I mentioned above and
they're not too great, but I still like riding with them as I get a
chance to improve my tequnique on things with a bit of critisism from
others who can uni. I ride mostly alone, so that may make me bias, as I
do enjoy riding with others- I feel more motivated to try things and
push myself a buit harder.
8) ...Far too much. About £1500 on unicycle related things I would have
thought. I'm constantly buying things I don't need, but what the hey!
It's most definately worth it, I haven't regretted a penny. I think that
building your unicycles up the way you want them is a big part of the
addiction.
9) Yes I will, and my girlfriend one day!
10) Strong legs, super balance, makes you a bit different, I've
benefitted unicycle.com no end. Makes me a happier even more well
rounded individual than I was before! ;-)

1) Almost 25 years.
2) MUni. Skills in MUni? Riding rough stuff. Other skills? Most of what
there is in unicycling, including (in the past) being a top racer and
Freestyler.
3) I thought it would be cool to be able to do it.
4) The affect has been profound. My entire life is different as a
result of my involvement in this sport. The state where I live, the
things I've done, the people I know, all have something to do with my
involvement in unicycling.
5) Lots.
6) We like challenges. Unicycling seems to attract lots of smart
people, and people who like to think outside the box.
7) With others. This is not necessarily more beneficial, but it's more
interesting. If I'm practicing new tricks, or training for the track,
I'll do that by myself to get more accomplished.
8) Thousands of dollars over the years, for equipment alone, not
counting travel. All dirt cheap in my mind.
9) No kids, but I've taught many others, including some nieces and
nephews.
10) #1 is better heath and conditioning. #2 is probably a much more
positive mental attitude about myself. Confidence. Everything else is
gravy.

1) How long have you been unicycling

11 years

2) What style of unicycling do you most enjoy, what are some examples of
skills you know.

muni; skills? not dying. but seriously, um...ability to have long
standstills before drops or jumps.

3) What was the reason you began unicycling

my cousin could do it and i wanted to be as cool as him. also, wanted to
impress the neighbors.

4) How has unicycling effected your life.

something to fall back on when im bored. always something new to learn,
keeps me interested.

5) Have you met any new good friends through unicycling

not exactly, but i plan to.

6) Do you feel there is anything different or special about unicyclists


we dont care what other people think of us. we're rebels! well, some of
us. we dont conform with society.

7) Would you rather unicycle by yourself or with others - why is this
more beneficial.

i've never ridden with anyone else, as there is nobody else in my area.
however, it does get lonely riding alone so i wish there were someone.


8) how much money have you invested in unicycling - is it worth it?

about $1000, not including medical bills ; ) No, the money i spent on my
savages was not worth it. i wish i had just bought a kh24 and a summit.
no point in buying a uni you will break.

9) Will you someday or have you already taught your kids to unicycle.

only if they show interest. im not gonna push them.

10) What benefits do you feel have come from unicycling

1) 10 years or so
2) Hockey and Muni - skills? Nah - you've got me confused with someone
else (although I failed to fail my level 1 test despite trying to).
3) A club I belonged to had a uni - I was curious.
4) Met my wife!
5) See above. Plenty of others too (though not *quite* as good friends
:)
6) Not particularly. Most of them are just normal people with a passion
for 1 wheel.
7) With others. Try playing hockey on your own..
8) No idea. Lots though.
9) Don't have kids - might never have kids.
10) A fun hobby, different conversation topic, good friends.

1) Half a year.

2) I don't have a favorite style. I enjoy both long distance riding (on a
28") as well as mountain unicycling. Skills? I now how to ride a unicycle.

3) I got a unicycle for my birthday and started because I just had a
unicycle.

4) Life is more pleasant!

5) No, not yet. I ride most of the times with -before unicycling friends-

6) I don't think so.

7) I prefer riding with others, it's nice to see others unicycling and chat
a little while unicycling.

8) Enough.....It is worth it!

9) I don't have kids yet. But if I had, I hope they find a nice hobby
and/or sport. It doesn't have to be unicycling.

10) At the moment unicycling is my sport and it makes me feel good. I
unicycle very often, what keeps my body in shape. I like visiting nature
and do this a lot now with one of my unicycles. Maybe I am more in balance
now then before I could ride a unicycle.
 
1) How long have you been unicycling?
About eight months.

2) What style of unicycling do you most enjoy, what are some examples of
skills you know?
Just a handful of mounts and some basic riding skills.

3) What was the reason you began unicycling?
Excercise (and spite for people who told me it was too hard or
foolish)

4) How has unicycling effected your life?
I'm more confident, healthier, and I have a wide network of contacts
around the globe (thanks to gilby and his forums).

5) Have you met any new good friends through unicycling?
I've met a few new friends through unicycling, and (for what it's
worth), I tend to consider anyone who posts on these forums as a friend,
even if I haven't 'met' them yet.

6) Do you feel there is anything different or special about
unicyclists?
Yes, they tend to be more mature than they let on. It takes persistence
to learn to ride, but it also takes a childlike joy in life to want to
learn to ride.

7) Would you rather unicycle by yourself or with others - why is this
more beneficial?
Both. Sometimes it's nice to ride alone and think about life, other
times it's fun to ride with people and socialize.

8) how much money have you invested in unicycling - is it worth it?
$800 and yes.

9) Will you someday or have you already taught your kids to unicycle?
Viscount willing, I plan to teach any kids I have.

10) What benefits do you feel have come from unicycling?
Outside of the basic health benefits, it has improved my confidence
around strangers, and it has introduced me to a group of hundreds
(thousands?) of interesting people around the globe. It has also taught
me the sad but important lesson that no matter what you do, someone else
has already done it, and done it better. =)

1) 6 1/2 years
2) Muni and Coker on and off road. I can climb efficiently and ride a
long way. My absolute favorite thing to do on a unicycle is to ride in a
foreign country in the high mountains.
3) Saw George Peck's RTU video - it was clear what I had to do.
4) I've met so many friends, traveled so far and had such a blast
through unicycling. It has also been a great activity that I can share
with my family.
5) TONS
6) How to generalize? But almost all unicyclists are the type of person
who love a challenge and don't mind hard work for a good reward. Almost
by definition, they are a cut above.
7) I like riding with others better, but solo training rides have an
appeal too - I can go just the speed I want.
8) Uncountable, certainly well over $10000 including travel. No it
wasn't worth it at all - NOT!
9) I taught my son to unicycle at age 6 (6 years ago). He now routinely
pulls off stuff I can't do.
10) Besides #4 answers, my raw balance has increased which has helped me
in a number of ways. It's always great to set a hard goal for yourself
and then achieve it. I've done that many times with unicycling.

Unicycling is a great way to travel - showing up somewhere on a unicycle
is the ultimate ice-breaker. You will be noticed and you will meet
people and make friends you wouldn't otherwise.

7)I like riding by myself at times i want to think, but many times r
better with others
8)about $520 and yes
9)i am young only 13 but yes if i do i will try but they will decide if
they want to continue after starting
10)Benifits from unicycling include a chance to get away from the norm,

In general, unicyclists are great people! Social, not too conformative
(if that is a word).

There is a time for both. I would like to ride more often with others
than I have an opportunity for. Beneficial for social reasons, and to
learn (mutual challenge).
>8) how much money have you invested in unicycling - is it worth it?
Maybe €1200. Absolutely worth it. About to spend more.
>9) Will you someday or have you already taught your kids to unicycle.
I taught both kids to ride. The oldest one before I could ride myself.
>10) What benefits do you feel have come from unicycling
Great hobby.
Something else to do with your kids.
Physical exercise - finally.
Meeting great people - online and in real life.

I think profile should make some stronger 145mm cranks - Ryan Atkins
 
1) How long have you been unicycling
Over 25 years. You'd think that I'd be better than I am but only
recently (last 2 years) did I learn that you can do more than basic
stuff on a unicycle.

2) What style of unicycling do you most enjoy, what are some examples
of skills you know.
I enjoy all types of riding. I especially enjoy riding trails and
distance riding on the Coker. Freestyle is good too. I haven't really
got any good "trials" skills but I'd like to. Examples of some skills:
gliding, and I can almost stand-up wheel walk.

3) What was the reason you began unicycling
Hmm, I don't know. I was young (maybe about 8?) when I build my first
unicycle. It was a real piece of junk. But, I learned to ride it and
never stopped.

4) How has unicycling effected your life.
That's a tough one to answer as I don't know what my life would be if I
did not unicycle. I think in a way unicycling defines me. That's
probably a bad thing.

5) Have you met any new good friends through unicycling
Absolutely! My family and I attended UNICON11 in Washington where we
met some of the nicest people on the planet. I had the great pleasure
of seeing some of these people again recently at Moab. Additionally I
met the "Uni Guy" Guy Hansen. It turns out he lives just a few miles
from me. Funny that our paths never crossed until just a couple of
years ago.

6) Do you feel there is anything different or special about
unicyclists
I think that every individual is different and special. Because I share
a common interest with other unicyclist I am able to relate to them more
than I might with non-unicyclists. That doesn't make unicyclists better
than others though.

7) Would you rather unicycle by yourself or with others - why is this
more beneficial.
I like to ride with others more than alone. I do also enjoy the
solitude of a singular one-wheel experience though.

8) how much money have you invested in unicycling - is it worth it?
Over the years I've had VERY limited resources to spend on unicycling.
Despite this I've probably spent somewhere in the ballpark of $2000
(US). Is it worth it? Hmm, I doubt that someone responding in this
forum could answer in the negative.

9) Will you someday or have you already taught your kids to unicycle.
I have three and a half children. Two ride now. The third has a
unicycle and will probably be able to ride this summer. The fourth is
on the way and I'll be working on her from the start. :)

10) What benefits do you feel have come from unicycling
This is too hard to answer.

1) How long have you been unicycling
About 3.5 years
2) What style of unicycling do you most enjoy, what are some examples of
skills you know.
I enjoy muni most, then distance riding on Coker. Just starting to pick
up trials, which looks like something I'll like. Working on getting
better as most basic skills needed for muni...climbing, hopping, drops,
negotiating tight turns on rooty or rock terrain, climbing. Did I say
climbing?
3) What was the reason you began unicycling
I had wanted to ever since my next door neighbor pal got one when we
were about 12. I tried his a few times but could never get it, while he
went on and became quite good. Then, almost 30 years later, it hit me
that the reason he learned and I didn't was it was his unicycle, not
mine. I never put in the required practice time. Sent out and bought one
for myself, and was riding two weeks later.
4) How has unicycling effected your life.
Through unicycling I've met a large number of really great people with
all sorts of diverse background and experience. Very similar to the
juggling community in that regard. It's also helped me get into a
regular exercise routine, set improvement targets, etc. As a result, I'm
in much better shape now than I was a year ago.
5) Have you met any new good friends through unicycling
See above. I feel pretty well connected to the unicycling community,
and ride with a number of cool people on a regular basis. It's funny,
because some of the folks I've met seemed very much like "old friends"
that I just had never seen before.
6) Do you feel there is anything different or special about
unicyclists
I'd second Nathan's comments here. I find unicyclists and jugglers share
that trait; the willingness to rise to the challenge, and invest time in
a difficult activity to improve themselves. They share a disposition
toward self-improvement, which is a trait I admire. Plus--every
population has a certain percentage of "jerks"; but with unicyclists,
that percentage seems much much smaller. I've found some unicyclists I
don't see eye to eye with, but haven't found one yet that I don't like.

7) Would you rather unicycle by yourself or with others - why is this
more beneficial.
I prefer riding with others. Not only do I like the social aspect, but I
find I'll tend to try things and push myself in ways I might not by
myself. If "everyone" is going to try to hop over that log pile, then I
guess I better too....
8) how much money have you invested in unicycling - is it worth it?
Between equipment for me and my son and associated travel, etc., a few
thousand. Worth every penny.
9) Will you someday or have you already taught your kids to unicycle.
My son is 10, and he learned to ride about a year and half ago at the
Portland Juggling Festival. He loves it, and it's given us a great
father/son activity. We ride together at least a couple times each
week.
10) What benefits do you feel have come from unicycling
See above. Physical, mental, and social enrichment.

1) How long have you been unicycling
Going on 4 years, but first learned 35 years ago.
2) What style of unicycling do you most enjoy, what are some examples of
skills you know.
Give me a mountain and either a MUni or Coker and I will (try) climb it.
I like both, but really enjoy long rides that involve BIG climbs at high
altitudes on the Coker. Long single track rides on the MUni are quite
enjoyable as well.
3) What was the reason you began unicycling
My wife brouht one home a few years ago, otherwise I might not be
writing this. When I learned as a kid, it was because my neighborhood
buddy and I challenged each other.
4) How has unicycling effected your life.
I've had only positive results from unicycling. I now uni trails and
roads that I have been riding for 30 years on bikes, with better
conditioning and bigger smiles, like Slickrock in Moab.
5) Have you met any new good friends through unicycling
Yes, from writers and photographers who have been part of my Epic rides
to the numerous kids and adults that I have helped start unicycling.
6) Do you feel there is anything different or special about unicyclists

Challenge, they love the challenge, and being different. Unicyclist are
to bicyclist as telemark skiers are to alpine skiers, it's all good,
just a harder way to accomplish their sport. Both telemarkers and
unicyclist are a little wacked.
7) Would you rather unicycle by yourself or with others - why is this
more beneficial.
It does not matter to me, I like riding alone and with others.
8) how much money have you invested in unicycling - is it worth it?
Quite a bit, yes it is worth it.
9) Will you someday or have you already taught your kids to unicycle.
Both my kids ride, ages 10,13. They have been riding for about 3 years
now. I have also taught a bunch of kids to ride in town here.
10) What benefits do you feel have come from unicycling .
The biggest benefit for me has been staying in shape, both physical and
mental. Also, I have met so many cool people because of it. Its a great
sport to get you in shape for ski season. The (adrenilene& personal)
high that comes with summiting a high mountain pass on a Coker, (or
MUni) is second to none, so that experience I would say is a benefit to
my overall well being. Another benefit from unicycling has been the
"Family" aspect of it. It is quality family time spent together, a high
priority of mine.

1) How long have you been unicycling
3,5 years

2) What style of unicycling do you most enjoy, what are some examples of
skills you know.
my favorite was freestyle, but since i have seen unicycle trials my
favorite is street ( there aren't big trials obstacles in the
netherlands ). My best tricks are wheel walk ( 1 and 2 footed ) glide,
practising coast ( record is 13 meter )

3) What was the reason you began unicycling
at school we have got a block called circus by the gym. there i started
unicycling

4) How has unicycling effected your life.
very important. it is a way of live and without my unicycle i cant
life
5) Have you met any new good friends through unicycling
before i did unicycling ( and after 1 year juggling ) I hadn't much
friends, but now i have got a lot of friends

6) Do you feel there is anything different or special about
unicyclists
yeaah unicyclist rocks

7) Would you rather unicycle by yourself or with others - why is this
more beneficial.
in my village there are plenty of people who can ride a unicycle (
because of my school ) but there are only 3 people in our villege who
practise a lot with unicycling and juggling. Most of the times I'am
alone because the others aren't at my level.

8) how much money have you invested in unicycling - is it worth it?
more than 1000 euro's in 3 years and ofcourse it is worth. the big
problem is my bank account that isn't big enough ( still student )
9) Will you someday or have you already taught your kids to unicycle.
my kids??? I'am just 16 i have got a girlfriend but we don't want kids
at this age. we will waight until our 25 or maybe later with getting
kids.

10) What benefits do you feel have come from unicycling
before unicycling i did'nt do any sports ( except archery ) but that
isn't a verry extreem sport ( if you do that 2 at the same time, so
shooting an arrow from your unicycle, than it is quite cool )
