  1. You've been telling people all week that ''we're going for a ride this
    Saturday'' and then at the last minute they decide they're doing
    something else?! (''Going out''😉

    Unicycling has always been -my- first option, but the people I ride
    with always seem to have something more important - like being
    ''tired''.

    And because of this, when I was expecting to go out today in a group of
    5 people, there would now only be two - however I'm trying to cancel it
    (but Scott wont answer his phone) 😠

    And don't you just hate it when people have a mobile phone but never
    answer it?! :p 🙁

    What do you think about this then?

    and what would stop you going out for a ride?

    Well, I hate that to.
    I rather go out and ride then being in a bar or something else.
    I even canceld a "date" with a girlfriend of mine to go and ride my uni
    at a BMX jam that I heard of last minute.
    For me, unicycling is always my first option: it's my hobby, my sport
    and passion.
    Nothing more to do then to ride alone then, just put some music on.

    Or you could always do maintenance on your uni then if a ride gets
    canceled.
    Once in a month I dissemble my unicycle and greace and tension
    everything how it should be.

    Xbox live and WOW, however good people may think they are... they make
    me feel sick. They must have ruined so many teenagers lives... along
    with Runescape and all those other games people get addicted to.
    There's so many people (I know quite a few) who go into school, and all
    they talk about is WOW, XBOX live and runescape. And then, they go home
    at the weekend and play it all and night. Terrible.

    The weather was partly what made me still want to go today 🙂 .

  8. I say you should let people do what they want to do. We are not perfect
    specimens, so if want to spend the rest of their hours/days/lives
    playing video games instead of enjoying what i like which is
    unicycling, playing with my model train sets or 'driving this little
    fella' (http://tinyurl.com/2x9m2w). Then i will get bored fast and just
    sleep instead of playing computer games and so forth.

    yes, I do, and I've experienced it many times during group work in
    school. Gah, how annoying. Once we (our group) called a guy 39 times
    (or something like that), but this missing group member didn't answer.
    Then we had a girl call from her mobile phone, and guess what? The
    person answered right away.

    *WHOA!!!* If it was me, i would be looking for obstacles to try to take
    on and my mind would go absolute ape-crazy forcing to me to take on the
    obstacles/challenges and completely forget that i was waiting for
    someone. Does that make me a bad person*???* :p

    youre lucky you have people to ride with! i ride on my own 99% of the
    time so radio one is my only friend when it comes to unicycling haha 🙁
    my work mate rides one we have the same uni but he has kids and stuff
    so he only rides for about 20 minutes after work which is a pain! i
    wish i had someone my age and lived near me to ride with. westwood on
    radio one is starting to [censored] me off on saturday nights haha.

  14. To be honest after getting 2 of my friends into unicycling my progress
    has pretty much stopped (well slowed right down) - whenever i go riding
    with them we talk more than ride... admittedly i like catching up and
    talking with friends but i thrive at every chance i get to go alone
    (especially when i feel like riding hard)...
    Just last week i got the chance to go alone - the first time i had done
    in a while - i learnt tyre grabs and SIF rolling hops and got more
    consistant at other things in one small session.
    I just find it easier to ride hard when i'm alone with no-one to
    interrupt me.
    (If you guys are reading this i dont mean anything negative by it, just
    that i still prefer riding alone when i feel like riding hard... maybe
    you need to push me to try more stuff when i'm around you?)
    I say go alone - dont cancel!

    That's strange, cos I find that having other people there is much more
    inspiring, as you can watch them do it (see if you'll kill yourself
    doing it) and then do it yourself :p

    But I suppose that depends how far apart your skill levels are.

    I went in the end, and I got some -cracking- (literally) footage of
    scott (1-wheeled-grape). Just wait!

    On the rare occasion i get to ride with Tom (tobbogonist) i get
    inspired to ride harder and i love it, its just with the other 2 i ride
    with they are still at a total beginner stage so just kinda mess round
    and it doesnt really get me amped to ride too hard.

  18. I haven't got any friends to unicycle with around here, at least not
    people my age, but I do hate when people decide to cancel plans but
    don't have a good reason (like the fact that they are 'too tired' or
    'busy doing something else[such as video games]'😉 I have actually
    canceled things with friends because I made the plans thinking the
    weather was going to suck, but it got better and I wanted to go ride...
    unicycling takes spot number one to anything.... I know it shouldn't
    take priority over school but I have been known to leave a class when
    the weather was nice(not often) and the class was boring(very often)
    and just unicycle for a while.

    Unicycling has always been -my- first option, but the people I ride
    with always seem to have something more important - like being
    ''tired''.

    Never underestimate the power of laziness.

    And don't you just hate it when people have a mobile phone but never
    answer it?! :p 🙁

    Actually, I think its kind of nice sometimes to just turn off my phone
    and "disconnect" for a while. I don't have to answer (to) anyone, and
    can just do what I want, uninterrupted. Anyone remember what life was
    like BEFORE cell phones? I sure do.
