July

It's been hot. I've got Nationals at the end of the month and I'm going back up to Lake Owen first week of August. Check out a small edit from my first visit.

Also, the July issue of Silent Sports Mag came out and I've got a feature in it.

Been working a lot but I just bought myself a new camera so expect pictures more frequently!

I hope to be rolling out more edits after Nationals and Lake Owen so be on the lookout.

I snaped this pic with my new camera today

Grinders Dirt Jam

Grinders Dirt Jam is this weekend. I hope to take the coasting unicycle to the dirt jumps if it is at all possible. I'll post pictures ASAP. I'd also like to thank the sponsors of the Dirt Jam:
Grinders Bike Shop of Rice Lake Wisconsin
White Lightning
Red Line
Pryme
Lake Owen

Thanks for the support. See you all there!

Lake Owen Visit: First Session

I'm riding my bike up to the Lake Owen Action Sports Camp tomorrow morning to spend about a week there. For those of you who don't know, Lake Owen is the Woodward Camp of the midwest and is located in Cable Wisconsin. I'll be representing Torker Unicycles and teaching some of the kids how to ride a unicycle. I hope the skaters get excited about unicycling because of this visit. It would be nice to not only make pople aware of the sport, but also to get them enthusiastic about learning how to ride and in the end, stick with it.

I'll hopefully have video and pictures to post when I get back, but until then ride on!

Silent Sports

I recently sat down for an interview with Silent Sports Magazine and decided to go out and take some pictures specifically for the article that will be featuring me and my unicycling career in this year's July issue. I encourage you to check out the magazine. It is a regional sports magazine that focuses mainly on outdoorsy/adventure sports & activities.

A picture that I think looks neat:

Also, don't forget to sign the petition for the COASTING UNICYCLE!

What the heck is with those hecklers?

People bother me all of the time when I'm out riding my unicycle. Some people have good intentions, but others have bad. While some people are playful, others are malicious. But Ironically, both of these types of people tend to say the exact same things.

"Where's you're other wheel?"
"You're missing you're other wheel!"
"Did someone steal your other wheel?"
"Hey, Pop a wheelie!"
"Where's the other half of your bike?"
"Couldn't you afford the entire bike?"
"Hey, I didn't know the circus was in town."
"Can you juggle?"
"Where are your handle bars?"

There are more. There are many more. But trust me. It's rare that I hear a new and original quip. Although the funny thing is, you can change the meaning of these quips by trying to sound mean or trying to sound nice.

So I've developed a set of responses for each of these quips. But more importantly, I've developed a nice response for the people who are trying to be playful, and a much more clever response for the jerks who are trying to be mean. I don't feel the need to post these because I'd like my quips to remain fresh. But I'd like to acknowledge the fact that if I can expect the same exclaimations from people, I should probably have a bag of responses to throw right back at them. This goes out to all of my unicycling followers... We can be more clever than them. Not that it is any feat. But we should definitely be prepared when we go out for a ride.
