    definitely use more punctuation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! using only four and five
    punctuation marks is for wimps.....real men use at least seven...it
    helps get your point across!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also, dont use periods
    at the end of sentences...having a big run on sentence...with just
    dots....is good....
    you should also never use the search function...thats too convenient
    also
    dont ever capitalize
    you should also never go the product review board for product
    questions
    i hope i helped

    WARINING! Be careful NOT to joke like that with the new guy! Uni_tyler
    might bite your head off! 😄 (I thought it was funny though!) Ok, I
    guess I have to say it,just in case...I'm KIDDING!

  16. Hi Chosen, and welcome.

    Visualization is important for learning to ride a unicycle. In fact,
    actually having the unicycle is vastly over rated. You can fall and get
    hurt riding one. I recommend exclusively visualizing riding one.
    Through visualization you can do anything without practicing, getting
    hurt, or being ridiculed by non riders. It saves a lot of money too,
    because you won't need to have a trials and a muni and a freestyle and
    a BC etc ride any where any style.

    Have fun. Post some pictures of you visualizing a great ride.

    Oh yeah. Get a clothespin on your avatar, too. The totally cool folks
    around here have one. Alas, I'm not member of that group, yet... 😉

    I disagree. I tried the visualization method at first as well, and
    broke my left arm, right leg, neck, spine, nose, spleen, and left
    testicle. Way too dangerous.

    Oh My. I stand corrected. don't get a unicycle or visualize at all.
    Just read the forum and learn to talk a good game. I hope that clears
    me of all liability.

    Now I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, and if you were
    really insulting my sarcasm detector in the first place or not,
    or....what?

    Either way, 😎
