  1. I trapped a nut on the landing from a 3set last week, need I say it was
    very unpleasant. Since that incident I have been considering ways to
    protect my junk. There are easy options including jockstraps, cycling
    shorts and so on but I think the best bet is to whip something up 2
    fit.

    I call it the sockstrap it’s fairly simple and you can make it in about
    5 to 10 min.
    1. Find an odd sock (thin material has better ventilation).
    2. cut a hole in the sole of the sock (big enough to incorporate your
    junk)
    3. Hold the top of the sock (with junk inside) and jiggle or jump to
    make sure your nice and snug so nothings gonna pop out when your riding
    your unicycle
    4. Optionally you can cut a hole in the front as well to create a sort
    of cradle

    wear it with the ankle part of the sock sticking out the top of your
    trousers and you can give it quick tug to reorganize yourself quickly
    just before a rolling hop to save your crotch from potential danger.

    Please reply with any comments just try and be mature about it as I am
    sure this must be a subject that many male unicyclists consider

  2. Can you maybe post a video demonstrating assembly and how to put it
    on?😄 :p

    in all seriousness though, unless i misunderstood something it sounds
    as if this may actually make you more vulnerable to such injury.

  7. What about if you catch the bit sticking out the top of your trousers
    and end up castrating yourself?!
    I'm not entirely sure I understand which bit is holding what either.
    Could there be possible missunderstanding for being a bit too excited
    if you arranged in the wrong position?!

  16. Interesting idea. It's a strapless suspensory. Seems like it would be
    functional for trials and street riders. Might work for muni but you'd
    have to figure out a way to minimize or eliminate potential chafing.

    This is going to need a catchy name and some marketing.
