I've learned that some people are drawn to the unusual, and others shun
it.

Re: What I’ve learned while unicycling

I've actually been keeping a list;

Try something you think is impossible, you'll surprise yourself.

Success and Failure are part of the same thing, a larger experience that
is incredibly challenging, frustrating, and rewarding.

Now matter how new and fancy your unicycle is, _you_ still have to ride
it. - Oh hey, that's in my sig line

Re: What I’ve learned while unicycling

The skill of a biker or a skateboarder is often directly proportional to
their reaction to a unicyclist. Not always true...but amusingly often

similarly, the only time you'll make a stupid pointless UPD is when many
people are watching, ex. when there's four cars at a four way stop, and
you wave at your friend in the car as you're crossing, which makes you
not notice that pothole.

Re: What I’ve learned while unicycling

1.Some people are bigger pratts than I ever realised before.
2.The unicycle community is more friendly than the juggling community.
3.The power of self-belief. It doesn't matter if you can or can't do
something but if you believe you can do it, you are more likely to have
positive results and happier anticipation.

Re: What I’ve learned while unicycling

Center of concentration is more important than center of balance.

As has been mentioned, the upds from crazy stuff are all fun and don't
hurt, where the ones from that 1" rock in the middle of the singletrack
cause much pain.

Trials skill comes in spurts.

On the realm of steering into trees, a mantra for life:

You tend to go where you're looking.

A mountain biker I met on a trail had a good saying about that: "See
the tree be the tree"
If you focus on the tree that you are trying to avoid you will end up
steering right towards it. Focus on where you want to go and what you
want to do rather than on what you want to avoid.

My neighbours brother played in the NHL (or really high up I don't know,
but I think it was NHL) and he said that when he was playing he wouldn't
be able to tell you what the goalie looked like after the game, cause he
was always looking at the open net. Sorta the same principle.

Torker LX's and Miyata's are not the same. The handles have different
bolt patterns.
