  2. er, yeah... your technique must be shoddy.
    the only time your gonna hurt your nuts is if you mess up on a landing
    or some trick, lol, or if you land with your legs on either side of a
    grind rail :p

  4. I should think a cup would hurt worse from chaffing, what you need is:
    more time in the saddle to perfect riding technique, bike shorts (try
    the ones with thick gel padding), a suspensory, lubricate to cut down
    chaffing.

    There are many other threads on this, for more information do a search.

    Ok, I am now officially in my normal state of -advanced- confusion.
    Don't try to confuse me, it won't make any difference. If you try not
    to confuse me, that will confuse me.

  6. I've found that the most i've damaged the twins was when i was learning
    to bunny hop up and off stuff. If you know what an "Ayers Rock" is then
    do it, i've found it's the best technique for protecting my future as a
    father.

  8. Wow, that was fairly...um... graphic. Some say Photoshop is the best
    image editing tool around, i disagree. Microsoft Windows Paint is quite
    obviously superior.

  10. SUBJECT LINE POLICE:

    Tell what your thread is about in the subject line, that's "what you
    do." You don't have to be specific of course, for a topic like this you
    could say something like "Need help with saddle discomfort." More
    people will read it then.

    - You didn't describe your saddle. It could be part of the problem.
    - You didn't describe what you're wearing. That could be part of the
    problem.
    - This is the hard part: some guys just have big "stuff" down there,
    and I don't know if there's an easy way to overcome that. A friend of
    mine always had limited saddle time, even with bike shorts and a
    state-of-the-art seat. He just had big cojones.

    If your seat has metal bumpers, it's definitely likely to be
    contributing to your problem. If you aren't wearing cycling shorts, you
    can make a big difference by trying some.

  12. Try any of the following:
    1. Wear padded shorts.
    2. Work on smoothing out your pedal stroke.
    3. Get a new seat.
    4. Modify your seat or seat angle.
    5. Wear different pants--underwear and/or outerwear.
    6. Stick to unicycling styles that don't involve remaining seated for
    a long time.

    no, I have normal sized you know whats. I guess i believe its the
    saddle now, after reading what you guys have said. I still ride with
    the beginners saddle that came with the unicycle - any saddle
    reccomendations? If you could, post some links to good saddles. Also, i
    only wear briefs, and boxer briefs, but for riding should i wear
    compression shorts or biking shorts? Do you guys you those?

  14. 'Saddles at Unicycle Dot Com' (http://tinyurl.com/fg8)

    The Kris Holm saddles are probably the most commonly accepted "most
    comfortable" saddle, at least here in North America. YMMV.

    I wear padded bike shorts whenever I muni on a KH saddle, but I don't
    bother when I freestyle on a Torker LX saddle because I never sit still
    for very long.
