Work out some juggling routines, and you could busk.
Or at least bring home a sack of grapefruits on it.

It supposedly takes about two weeks of daily practice before one succeeds in even riding these
things. I believe it.
Then I'll need to learn to ride with a tail if that's possible.
Juggling will have to wait.

First, I've got to get a seatpost clamp to keep the saddle from twisting around. Then I'd like to be
able to ride to the end of the hallway without dabbing a wall.
These unicycle people are genuinely nuts.

Juggling you can pick up in 10 minutes, the unicycle is a lot harder.

OK, what does it mean to ride with a tail? I mean if you're not born with one...

Velocipedosaurs ride bikes and have 5' tails.
If one can lean forward to counter balance the tail then it will look okay. Sitting bolt upright is
for sucky little mammalian unicyclists.

While I ride blue kit, I really think that Bianchi's kit needs to darken the blue and get more
graphics on the jersey and shorts, as it looks too division three.
Ullrich looks dorky in his white Rudys, it must be a German thing, as Baldato, Pellizotti, and Me
look really cool in our white framed Axley Raptor Race shades!
But then Italians can get away with tweaking the standards, as just the other day I was out on a
tempo ride wearing the classic Briko Stinger shades and was getting great results with female
motorists when I was hanging around the U.S. border crossing at Hunnington.
Now you go out on a ride and be a German or Dutch pro rider and see if you get away with the
classic look!

If you already know how to juggle, it is easier. IMO, jugling is harder to learn than Unicycling.
Oh... Get yourself a an old handlebars, and make beleive you are riding a bicycle.

Having thus far succeeded in making only one and a half crank revolutions without dabbing, I
couldn't say.
Unicycle hockey is huge in Germany and there's a unicycle polo team in New Orleans. (I don't know if
it's the fanciful beach ball and French loaf variety or something played with mallets) Basketball is
another game for unicyclists.

This is on the same order as **** Ryan's statement that recumbents were taking over in Wisconsin.
Germany is a big country, and I find it quite credible that there are twelve people in the whole of
Germany who would be playing unicycle hockey, but "huge"?
But, being a thorough researcher, I typed "unicycle hockey" into Google. Sure enough, the first four
entries are from Germany, including the International Unicycle Hockey Association.
http://dionysos.mpch-mainz.mpg.de/~sander/uni/ This lists 38 teams in Germany -- not huge but at
least not nonexistent.

I'll admit unicycle hockey isn't likely to become an Olympic event any time soon.
I think it's huge compared to the other counties' listings of teams. There's a total of ten players
in Japan and 15 in Canada and France.
