he i got chased by a security guy in our 'mall' wjilst riding on the new
travelators (sort of ground moving escelators like at the airport) he
did not catch me and they are now looking at taking a restraining order
out on me, which is the same place kmart is located so i might not be
alowed in to work 🙁

but most of the Authorities around here are interested and just ask me
questions. we have no trials bike/unicycle or any really good street
skateboarders anyway so they do not know how to react when i am seen.

although i got kicked out of the surf shop for unispinning off there
bench (the fact that i didn't land fueled that desicion, they where all
for it untill i scratched there new floor with my peddles)

got kicked off the college campus. the security guard had no clue what
to call the unicycle's so he repetedly called them 'those things'.

I must say, I agree with this. Especially if the park doesn't allow BMX
either.

i got kicked out of... well my school (well the unicycle did, they were
pretty keen on keeping me in lessons)

just outside school a few times, a car park (WTF???), jumping near a
war memorial (i wasnt even on or touching the damn thing)

but i've been told off loads, the most stupid was in a deserted car
park, there was a concrete bench kinda thing and this women told me to
go away. So i told her i was disturbing no one and that she could go on
her merry way without having to disturb me. Later on this cop walked
past and told me that a lady had told him i was being a nuisance.

He seemed to find unicycling well cool and told me as long as no cars
were around and that i was damaging nothing it was fine. He even stayed
and watched me for abit 😄

Thats stupid, if a bmxer can hurt people by bumping into them. A

hehe that reminds me of a story....
I was riding at my favorite (and only) spot which is a new fancy
church. Anyways the minister guy lives in a house like 100' away led
up by a sidewalk. In the past he only smiled and waved then one day he
decides to be a [censored] and walks around the corner when I grind a slowly
slanted handrail ad rips me right off and I fall and he is all like "if
you keep this up you'll hurt some one" and I told him "dude, you just
rupped me there off that rail" then he threw my uni and I ran to grab
it and he was sayin he'd call the fuzz on me and walked away. So he
was an [censored] so I was an [censored] back and proceded but fliped the
benches and played on that and he come back and started to chase me so
I ride withou thinking and hang a left right in to the church. rode
down a set of stairs up a ramp (a long, tiring one) and he was still on
my ass. I hit a four set rail and rode out the back door and boom
right there, he stood. So I pushed him and hid in a ditch and not ten
minutes later heard the coppers. They ran into me and I was like "Oh
[censored]" and they pulled me over. Being good I stopped and he said "hey
you, with one wheel... your tyre's low," and he filled my tyre.

This was so weird it felt like a movie or somthing. It was cool
though. And now that there minister/pastor guy just waves and smiles.
Ii think he has some sort of mental disorder. Anyways that's my best
getting kicked off story😄

just get used to it i ride handrails on snowboards and thats ten times
as worse as if you ride unis because when they kick me and my buddies
out we have to shovel the snow we used back where we found it your
gonna get thrown out because normal pedestrians dont want you there.
ive found the best way to keep from getting thrown out is to bring a
hat and stick like 2 bucks worth of change in it that makes people
think your just street performers and they wont bother you usualy

A unicycle an assault weapon? I guess if you really wanted to could beat
people with the tire in a blunt matter(double points for knobby tires!)
or the pedals.

Theres a story, "Unicyclist gives serious trauma to a 35 year old man"
"beat him up with his unicycle after he was seriously provoked by the
man"

But seriously what harm are we.. a unicycle has so much more control
then any other wheeled vehicle. In a way it becomes an extension of the
body when mastered.

I've been just about pushed out of parking spaces by people in cars and
trucks, even with plenty of other open spots very close by. Phil and I
were kicked off a company parking lot downtown, and all of us here in
SA were kicked off the post office steps and out of a hotel entrance
area by security guards.

So it's part of unicycling, and doesn't have a lot to do with your age,
unless 48 counts as still being a teenager 😉

However, it does help to be really nice, and chat people up, and not to
ride near really young or older folks. Waiting for people to get out
of the way (sometimes it takes a loooong time) without getting angry or
whatever seems to pay off bigtime.

Another thing that seems to help a lot is to volunteer to teach people
to ride. That way people see that you're willing to contribute to the
area, not just take from it. Whether they take you up on your offer or
not doesn't really matter.

Also, if the stuff on which you want to grind or pedal grab looks
expensive (like marble), just leave it alone and move to the next spot.

I totaly agree, there have been a few times where a security guard has
shown up and I have talked to them politely and we have come to an
agreement usualy ending with me leaving, but a few times it have just
been along the lines of, don't do anything too crazy or don't ride on
these ledges or don't hurt yourself.

I actualy had one security guard stand around, watch us and talk to us,
then leave.

I get kicked out of probably about an average of three places per ride.

On smaller rides though I just go to my college, but whenever I go
there I have to pretty much play dodge the security guards. I have gone
there enough though that if I'm alone, I know his rounds well enough to
usualy avoid him for at least an hour, and if its any other security
guard they usualy don't care.

If you are getting kicked out of one place often, its usualy because
you stay there for too long. When I hit up a location I will only stay
there for like 15 minutes or so if I know they have security.

But yeah I have been kicked out of all sorts of places, one time a cop
tried to give myself and some friends a ticket which was pretty lame,
but we talked him out of it and he just escorted us away from the area.

Mostly because most skateparks don't have insurance for BMXers. Its not
an issue of people bumping into one another, between a skater, a bike
and a unicyclist they can all do serious harm to one another
accidentaly, but the only one they have insurance for is the
skateboarders.

The other problem with unicyclists riding in skateparks, is that they
treat it like a trials course. A skatepark is meant to be ridden, and
fairly quickly, when you are doing trials you are in peoples way for a
lot longer than if you were skating it. So its a nuissance.

That being said I ride regularly at the skatepark, but I know what to
stay off and what to ride. Many bikers and unicyclists do not. The
other thing is I tend to air on the side of caution and always give
skaters right of way, whether they should have it or not. With the
state of BMX and skater relations I know I'm on thin ice and I would
like to stay in everyones good books.

Sorry I missed the edit time.

right across the streat from our school is Diablo Valley college. on
club days we generally ride there. one of their stupid little
"assistent cops" kick us off when they find us. they mutter it so it
isn't understandable but since we know we aren't supposed to be their
we know he is telling us to leave. so the 7 of us go and relocate. i
see a rail i want to ride so we stop get the camera out and in about
1-2 minutes a "assistent cop" starts coming down towards us so we
leave. so we go for a long walk around the campus and stop at a
drinking fountain. one of the group looks back and sees a "assistent
cop" coming up towards us. we take off down the other side of the
place we are on to a service road and we are leaving.most of the way
off campus we here something along the lines of "unicyclists, go in to
the parking lot on your right" from a speaker phone. we look back and
their are 2 cop cars with 3 cops, and 3 "assistent cops" and one of
their golf carts. the cops were really annoyed to have to "play
babysitters" and get us to leave (we were leaving as you stopped us).
they ended up taking down the information of the smart a** that back
talked the "assistent cop" ( he told him he needed to get a life, which
is true) and lecturing us for a couple minutes. then we left.
the cops were upset they had to tell us to get off but personally they
don't care (except we disobeyed a "assistent cop" )
the "assistent cops" are [censored], they know it and are probably proud of
it.

I got kicked off of a junior high school campus for letting some kids
try out my uni. I wasn't even riding. But, yeah, this fat
authortative figure walks up to me and says "You, can't have that
here." I ask him why and he says that there are no wheeled vehicles
allowed on the campus. I'm like, "Duuude, what about all these freakn'
cars and schoolbuses? Their -far- more dangerous and plus they -have
more wheels then me!!-" Then he got [censored] and told me to bugger
off or else he'd "Call the authorities" I didn't dig that so I'm like,
Peace, man.....
