If you didn't unicycle...

if i didn't unicycle, naturally most of that time would have been spent
walking.

If I hadn't learned to unicycle, I would have spent the time wondering
what to do with all the extra flesh I would have.

Honestly, without unicycling, I think I would be a better ping pong
player.

If I hadn't learned to unicycle, I would be a completely different
person now. I would not have the self-confidence and fitness level I
achieved only through mastering this difficult skill.

I would not have met my wife.

I would (most likely) not be living in California.

I would not have seen nearly as much of the world, and my country, that
I have.

I would not be comfortable in front of large groups of people.

I would not be a good performer, entertainer, or teacher.

I would not be a good writer or editor.

I would have a lot more room in my garage.

------------------

I would probably have stayed in college, coming out an Industrial
Designer in 1984. Then I would likely have worked in that field,
possibly even for one of the car companies, though statistically more
likely in a different industry.

I don't know who that person would have been. He might have averaged a
higher income from earlier on, but I don't think his life would have
been nearly as interesting.

I actually would have spent a lot of that time studying

I'd play banjo more often (usually I do just as much banjo as uni)

My parents would still support me in all my endeavors

My uncle would still take me seriously

That's about it.

I'd do lots of walking/biking/hiking. I would do more juggling, and
might even have learned 7 balls by this time.

I prolly wouldn't get that circus theme stuck in my head as much 😉
I wouldn't have the same self-confidence that I have, which I know has
helped me in my education (Nick Vs University II: Nick Doesn't Flunk
Out!)
I'd still have my girlfriend 😉
I'd still have my job :'(
I'd still live in Quebec 🙂
I prolly wouldn't juggle...
I prolly wouldn't bore my friends with my incessant one-wheeled-rambling

I wouldn't know the karmic joy, the true zen, of Muni 😉

If I didn't unicycle........

I wouldn't of met all the people i've met on here, or at the club around
the area i've been to a few times.

I wouldn't of met billham in person, cause I never would of drove 8
hours to Ohio to a unicycle meet.

I wouldn't have a sprained wrist, well maybe, cause i've fallen on it a
total of 3 times now, and one wasn't unicycling. I was trying to balance
on a little basketball. I probably thought it would be easy cause of my
advanced balance from being able to unicycle, so it was related.

My friend wouldn't think I was weird......... actually they already did.

Other people I know wouldn't of gotten intrested and wanted to learn.

I would have approximately 600 more dollars, that figures bound to go
up.

I wouldn't have a total of 5 unicycles, I didn't have any till I started
learning, go figure.

I would probably still be trying to skateboard, and not progressing half
as well as unicycling, cause I like it more.

I wouldn't be having fun unicycling.

I would get more sleep cause I wouldn't be on here too late.

I wouldn't be writting this now.

I wouldn't be forcing myself to stop writting this now.

No. Please try to at least -write- like an intelligent person.

If I didn't unicycle, I would still do magic (more often, anyway). I
would be better at Rubiks Cubing, and I wouldn't be quite as healthy.
Seriously, unicycling is one of my only forms of exercise. Except now,
I'm sort of a runner, so I'm all healthilized and stuff.

I would possibly still be messing around on skateboards and inline
skates and other little sports, trying to find what I have found in
unicycling.

I would have:

LOADS of money.

No reason to visit the shed, the LBS or the internet as often.

Not had contact with the wide variety of people online that I do.

A heart problem no doubt.

Weak legs.

[censored] balance.

Nothing to bore my girlfriend and friends with.

I would probli have LESS money!!!!yes less i have ALWAYs been interested
in trials biking but have neva had the money but now i have a job i
could afford one,but i have found the joys of trials unicycling which i
am pretty good at.
Skinny legs gerenally less muscley which would be really bad I weak as
it is!!
I would be playing more badminton and sqaush go down the beach more.I
would have no interest in photography.I would not be able to take pain
half as well.I don't think i would have my girlfriend either unicycling
has given me self confidance and stuff and even tho my friends don't
like her I can say hold up I do so I don't care if you don't. Life would
be a bored.

We do have the Deutsches Einradforum. What we don't have is the
hip-hop/ebonics/text messaging/can't spell/youth forum.

Learn English. You'll be surprised to find out how useful it will be
later on!

My involvement in unicycling taught me to be a better writer, editor,
typist, and overall communicator.

All the deaf people I know are nuts about it. I can't imagine how they
got along before this technology was available.

I have a lot of deaf people around me, I'm not making this up.
Unfortunately I can't speak for the general text-messaging community.
Without a description of the UK text messaging culture it would be hard
to compare...
