    I just pulled my new KH Freeride out of the box and have ripped my back
    yard to shreads! I can't wait to get this on a real trail. My back
    yard is a medium steep hill that I never got to the top of with my
    Schwinn. There's also what I would consider a very short steep downhill
    that challenges the tread to keep biting. I've officially done two
    complete successful laps of the yard which includes the uphill, and the
    downhill. Lots of other incomplete but very fun attempts. My friends
    from our unicycle club are headed to Kentucky for the Muni weekend (I've
    got obligations at work), I'm sooo envious. This is one sweeeeeet
    machine. I also logged my first unicycle "air". Tiny air, but air
    nonetheless.....I even videotaped it!! This uni is coming with me to
    the Tetons this summer, anybody out there want to do some riding?

    Since I don't have a GALLERY (poor me), here's a link to a little video
    of me achieving air for the first time. Modest beginning, there's only
    up from here!

    Congratulations Unidaddy. A Muni is a wonderful new toy. Keep up the
    terrific work. I hope that in the future, you'll put in some original
    music. Maybe something called the Uni Symphony.

    the music is a small chunk of the opening of Schumann's Konzerstuck for
    4 horns and Orchestra...Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra with Sir John
    Eliot Gardiner conducting.

    Absolutely amazing footage! Especially the slow mo. 😄

    You should mention that everyone in the symphony was riding a uni when
    that music was recorded.

    Seriously, last night we were doing some trials together and unidaddy is
    quickly taming that KH and showing it who's in charge.

    Congrats on getting a great ride.

    Hi Folks,
    I'm new to the forum, and I see you in this thread are from PA.

    I'm interviewing for a job in State College soon and I can't help but
    wonder what the Uni community is like there. Any ideas?

    I found a juggling club website for Penn State, but nothing
    specifically on unicycling.

    Keep up the good work! This forum is really great. I have yet to try
    Muni riding, I am regaining my skills from when I was a kid. I too a 10
    year hiatus and am back up to a level 3 now and looking to invest in
    better shin guards. Youch!

    Thanks!

    Blake

    Um, a little off topic but how was it teaching your girls how to ride.
    At what age did they start to learn? How long did it take them? My
    oldest is 3 1/2 ands she likes watching me ride in front of our house
    (I'm not sure what my neighbors think) but I haven't even suggested that
    she try it.

    Oh and congratulations on the new muni.
    :-)
