Once again

October 7th, 2004 by mike d. in RockStar

Once again, JonAbad has amazed me with his link to: Extreme Unicycles.

This excites me to the point where I want to learn how to ride a unicycle.
feel free to make a bet as to how long it takes me to:

a. give up my unicycle dream or casually let it fade away until we all forget about it
b. learn how to ride a unicycle

Does Dad still own his old uni-cycle? I think you should pursue this dream!

I thought that this would just be forgotten as having the unicycle is a pretty big hurdle…
i say that you will shop with coupons this weekend and forget about it.

Well…
to learn unicycling you need 2 things.
1 a unicycle
2 practice
3 more inspiration
4 more practice
5 etc.

wow.

What an inspirational comment! I now feel like I must attempt to learn the unicycle simply out of respect for Leo. Leo, I went to your site and I was mighty impressed. How is it that you found my humble webblog?

My father used to unicycle back in the day. So I do believe I have the genes for the skill. Perhaps I will see if I can ressurect his old singlecycle.

Hm, Leo said you needed 2 things, but he left 5 things, and one of them wasn’t really even a thing, it was just an etc.

i think he was making a statement that the unicycle is harder than it looks. and that it can’t count.

That’s the most intense minute of footage that I’ve watched in a while. If there had been smoke, fire, lazer lights, and maybe a unicycle riding pirate, I would probably be changing the ole drawers right now.

I found your blog through feedster.com, which I let scan MANY blogs on the word “unicycle”.
Yes unicycling is a lot easier than it looks. Actually it is as easy as walking. But you need to learn it.
Or more technical explained: once you know the distance you make per revolution, you can dose you speed, and so do exactly what you do while walking. And as you know walking a constant fall, where the speed below is the same as above (so you wont smass against the ground). Have some practice. And your father probably can give you helpfull hints. Or otherwise mail me.

Oh 5] was just to explain it is a cyclus, you get inspiration, do practice, ASO (I used the French word ‘etcetera’ for it).
