I dont wear baggy clothes at all :D
my clothes are in between baggy and high waters.. just...... Normal :p


My shoelaces used to get stuck on my old unicycle cranks and they would
wrap around like 100 times :( I would spend forever un-wrapping it


P.S. I still cant unicycle or barely even walk from my fall yesterday,
my knee is all messed up :(

That explains it.

But yeah, the DX is horrible for catching your trouser leg...
:rolleyes:

What happens is, the material just snags for a half second while you're
riding and lets go, but it's scary to think if it doesn't let go.

That's why I added the word trousers to my post. You'd best hope that
no one from the US mentions ***** packs.

We do our best to keep you Brits entertained with double entendres.

You don't need shoes with special lace pouches. Just tuck the loose
ends under the lace crossings like 'this' (http://tinyurl.com/28fwk9).

That's what I do, tuck the knots under the lace. I don't care if it
looks ugly or not, it works, and that is what matters to me.

This is how I have my shoes laced for the last couple of years, even
before I started unicycling.

What you Brits would call a 'bum bag'
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_pack).

For the US readers wondering why a ***** pack might be a funny object,
you can look it up 'here'
(http://english2american.com/dictionary/f.html#*****).

Cautious use of the word ***** is advised if you visit the UK otherwise
your pleasant conversation could end up like 'this'
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_ve37gVwxw).

HILARIOUS!:D


Seriously, I had this issue on some of my pants (interestingly only the
right side). So I folded the fabric over and safety pinned them,
making them an inch or two shorter around my ankle.

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.
