  1. My school is having a talent show and a lot of people think that I
    should ride for it. I can't remember anyone ever having a unicycle show,
    so I don't know what kind of stuff I should do, but the year before I
    came to the school, there were a couple of people on unicycles that just
    rode around for the talent show. I am like a level 4.3 or something
    (under my name, it says 5 though, but I was just stretching the truth).
    I need some help think of a routine to practice, so if anybody out there
    has some ideas, they would be better than no ideas.

  2. Juggle! If you have a small 12" wheel, its looks a lot coolor IMO.

  3. Be funny. Tricks will last you about 10 seconds, so you'll need at least
    50 more seconds for people to remember you. Anything fun you can think
    of to do with a volunteer can be very funny, such as jump over them
    (only if you're 100% solid doing it), slalom through them, etc.

    Bow to my shoe, for it is superior to yours! A result of extreme boredom

  5. Borrow TylerCox's little brother's dummy, and do a little ventriloquist
    act.

    (Better yet, just get one of your own.)

  6. Wow....

    I'm in a talent show as well. I was just about to post about it. I had
    try-outs today, and i amazed them.

    For my act i am doing like a tutorial.... I ride and my riding partner
    explains what i am doing, and then we switch. In the show i am doing
    trails moves ( jumping ontop of things ect...), freestyle moves ( mounts
    and trick riding), and unicycle sports( basketball and hockey).

    I hope this helps you in your talent show. By the way my show is on may
    19th...i'll post and tell you how it goes.

    Has anyone ever done a frame stall? To do it you drop your frame to the
    ground infront of you, then jump on the fork, right infront of your
    tire. Then you hop back on your pedals and pull the frame up. Did I
    invent this? or has someone done it before?

  7. I just won 3rd place in a "talent show" competing against dance teams.
    My routine was kindof like juggling to music on a unicycle.

    You could do a routine like eating things and drinking while
    riding/idling and removing your shirt, things like that.
    I did a trials line over some unstable 48" speakers (in my rehersal) -
    but the audience did NOT appreciate it - in fact they suggested that I
    OMIT it.
    The point is that stuff that seems uber-cool for unicyclists may not
    seem all that great for a general audience.
    Ride for your audience . . . and of course, the judges.

    would just do a little riding and basic moves for freestyle i can do a
    lot more then i did in my talent show and they were blown away by that

  9. One thing that is really well appreciated is to drop off stage and ride
    up through the audience. Then back down, hop back up the stairs, and do
    some more stuff on stage. It takes a while, and most of it is straight
    riding, but the audience distance is dynamic so that's ok.

    A high school audience thinks that is the coolest thing in the world,
    far above backwards one-foot, which is much harder.

    Wheel-walking is well appreciated too; have contrasting shoes and tire
    if you can.
