  2. I got mine at NAUCC. 68 pages, however thick that is. Best
    English-language unicycling magazine or magazine-like thing ever made.
    I'm not aware of anything that ever came close and I've seen a lot. If
    you're serious about unicycling this mag is a must-have.

    Are you serious? Sixty plus pages of high quality glossy pictures,
    articles, reviews, history, and more. I have read a bout half of it,
    and am trying to take my time. It will be months before the next one
    comes out.🙁

    Well written articles.
    Reviews of products.
    News
    Event reviews
    Ride Reports
    Interviews
    Previews of upcomming events
    Advertisements of products we want.
    World class photos

    Don't you wish you could take all your emotion for unicycling and drop
    it in the hands of one of your friends or family members? This
    magazine does that. If you don't have one you are missing out.

    Since its written & published by a professional team, with content
    submitted by some of the best riders in the world, 100% of the content
    is available nowhere else. Not only is the content entirely original,
    it is also very widely spread, covering all aspects of unicycling:

    A Gallery of Quality Unicycle Pictures (Street/Trials this issue)
    An Interview of Roger Davies (Business, General Interest)
    An Article on the French Unicycle Federation (Organisations, Foreign
    Interest)
    An Article on Hockey Balls (Hockey, Team Sports)
    An Interview with George Peck (Origins, Off-road)
    News & Product Reviews
    Article on the Surly Conundrum (Equipment, Product Development)
    Article on MOAB (Muni, Conventions/Gatherings)
    Brake Fitting Tutorial (Distance, DIY)
    Article on South Africa Juggling Convention (Foreign Interest,
    Conventions/Gatherings)
    Interview with Julien Monney (Foreign Interest, Competition)
    Article on crashing at 30km/h (Distance, Techniques)
    Article on Mondo XVII Jugglefest (Conventions/Gatherings)
    Article on BUC 13 (Conventions/Gatherings)
    Article on Riding the Elevator Shaft (Muni, XC)
    Saddle Comparison Article (Equipment, General Interest)
    Interview with Wendy Bignold (Research, Teaching)
    Article on Taiwan Trip (Foreign Interest, Muni)
    Article on a 'Kids Coker' (Distance, Product Development)
    An Interview of Dan Heaton (Street, Videography)
    A Preview of UNICON 13 (Conventions/Gatherings)
    Article on useful body exercises (Exercise, Health)
    Events Calendar

    Wow, I never realised there was so much content! Also, I own the
    products (or use the services) advertised by 7 of the 11 adverts.

    Loose.

    News is available on the internet, people still buy a lot of
    newspapers. The quality of this magazine is great, really heavyweight
    and glossy with good photos and layout. Not read all of it yet,
    although i have atleast skimmed most articles, but I'm looking forward
    to the next one already.

    Yes, it's all new content. Very professionally done. Fantastic. I
    thought the interview with Julien Monney was very good.

    Is somebody cheap?

    It's worth paying for something lik e this AND to supporting this
    magazine in its early days is our civic duty as unicyclists.

  10. This magazine may also become a collector's item as a publication of
    this type is so rare...maybe the only one in the world? Cool.😎

  11. I just received my Contributor's Copy last night at the juggling club.

    How fantastic is t'his maga' (http://www.unicyclemagazine.com/)zine?
    Infinitely fantastic.
    To quote Douglas Adams on the issue of 'infinite...

    Quoted message said:

    "INFINITE: Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger
    than that, in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size,
    real 'wow, that's big' time. Infinity is so big that by comparison,
    bigness itself looks really titchy. Gigantic multiplied by colossal
    multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we're trying to
    get across here."
    - Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Univers

    The thrill of holding and paging thru a magazine of this calibre,
    dedicated to something most passers-by would have us believe should be
    a shamefull obsession, is really, really kewl.
    My only complaint would probably be the lack of a fold-out,
    Harper-Hottie centerfold.

    Mike and his team have done an incredible job and deserve beers all
    round.

    You know those ads you always see for some product, and in the one
    corner there's a comment made about the product by a celebrity of some
    sort?
    And you sometimes look at the names of these celebrities and think to
    yourself 14:45,...46,...47?
    There's a similar ad in this mag, and guess who the celebrity is?
    No, Kris Holm is too easy. Dan Heaton? Nope, he has a whole interview
    in the mag.
    Guess.
    Or better yet,

  12. I bought a copy at NAUCC, and it's great. I wish I could subscribe, but
    it's just too much money for me. We would'nt have bought a copy at all
    if it hadn't been that I was (kinda) in it. 😄

  17. I bought it instantly when I first saw it and paged thru it. It truly is
    a GREAT unicycle magazine and I hope many people buy it so it can
    continue. I personally like all the cool/sweet photos in it cause now I
    have something I can show my family and friends to show them that it's
    not all about clowns. I brought it to my cabin and had it laying around
    and my entire family and friends picked it up at different times, paged
    thru it and told me they never knew people could do some of that stuff
    on unicycles. Overall I think it puts a "cool" attitude towards
    unicyclers in general.

    This should take unicycling to it's next level. I bet there will be
    lots of people that start unicycling after seeing this magazine, like
    the skater/biker type kids who see some of the sweet photo's and want
    to try it out.

  18. I'm glad this thread exists. It has inspired me to subscribe to the
    mag. Really, I think $60 is cheap considering that's six issues,
    postage and handling, a calendar and a buff. I'm not really into
    buffs, but this might change things! I usually don't save magazines,
    but I'm sure I will save these.
