unicycling is not for clowns

I haaaaaaaaaaaaate it when people say that.......

Well.. I can understand why someone would say that if you were on a
giraffe or something, but when your riding just like a normal sized
unicycle it sucks 😠

Well when i sometimes ride my friends 7ft giraffe people......
*1*) Look and ask how i ride it, i tell them it's easier then it looks.
😄

or if

*2*) Try to make fun of me. I give one giant stare that looks like i'm
crushing their soul from within and they turn around and run.

Option 2 sounds much more fun :p

Yeah, i have just started to juggle too and my dad always jokes about me
going to join the circus.
I get it a bit when people first find out i unicycle too - although
once they actually see me do small hops and that they soon shut up😄

im pretty sure everyone gets this all the time so ive found the easiest
way to answer these questions is with real simple, no failing easy
tricks like foot drop
or hopping up a few stairs

It unfortunately happens all the time. I get it a lot when I am out
juggling, and obviously when Unicycling. This is because people
associate unicycling and juggling with the circus.

It's going to happen, just deal with it. I find the best thing to say
is. "Yes". People don't seem to be interested in long explanations on
that it's fun, or it's good exercise, etc... Just say "Yes" and move
on, because that's what they actually want to hear.

hey people,
im really annoyed at people who see me unicycle and think its for
clowns.
one lady saw me the other day and said o thats a new toy, are u going
to join the circus.

A relevant t-shirt would be cool. Perhaps a uni icon an equals with a
slash through it and a clown icon (uni != clown).

When people ask me if I work in a circus I always reply "yes, I work for

And then they say, "Wow, you really *should* join the circus, you're all
ready to be in the center ring!"

Just say "It's a sport."

Question:
Is trampoline a sport or a circus act?
