OneWheel

uni log No.1

Okay, this is the part where I talk about my unicycling and how I'm doing and stuff. I hate rain. I know "April showers brings May flowers", but flowers just get in the way too.

I tried riding in the rain the other day and when I was going really fast my wheel would slide; it was actually kinda cool/fun and I didnt sweat, well at least you couldn't see it. But I thought it was gonna be my day to land the unispins but I couldn't cause it rained so hard that when I tried to spin it my feet slip off before  could jump to spin the unicycle.

I plan on making a new video this week. Or, at least get footage for the next video. The tricks I'm working on are: unispin 180 and 360, one foot wheel walk, rolling wraps, and just riding as fast a possible -but last time I did that I landed on my face and it hurt pretty bad 0_o.

-N.W.

big drops

Today I went out and tried to do a few "big drops" some off skinnys. But anyway for you, who are like me thinking: "there is no way I am going to jump down this and land ", I learned today that its 60% guts, 20% skill and the most importent 20% being smart.

I all most jumped off the roof of my shed and then I thought to myself "Ionly have the first one". There was no way I could have landed it. But what I'm doing is slow jumping off higher stuff, one by one, till I get to the point that I have the skill.

The moral of the story is - yeah its half guts, but dont be stupid, know your limits.

unicycling and its comments..

I was riding long distance for the first time yesterday evening and I got a few comments and thought I might share them with you guys

Got this one passing some people indoors: "Hey kids, look, its a unicycle man!"

Jogger: *stops and stairs* "uhhh, hi"

Elder lady: "Hey, your good at that! Hahha"

All in all it makes the trip a little more entairtaning.

get out the super nintendo!

Whoa! I was about to buy some new pedals but I think I'll skip that and find this on ebay lol

The Sad Truth..... :(

We can't escape it. We can't avoid it. We've all been asked it...."Hey, are you a clown?!?!" From young children playing catch with their fathers to a grandpa feeding pigeons.

Its a sad fact that the reputation of unicyclist is that we all are clowns - no offense clowns ; )

But we have to learn to live with it until the day of the uni, when bikes and skateboards fill the trashcans and people ride unicycles to work instead of cars --- Okay, so my hopes are a little high...

What's this One Wheel stuff all about???
