Well, my real name is Brian, I live in Great Falls, MT, but I am attending college in Butte, MT (not pronounced butt…:duh:) and I love to unicycle, hell, I love just clowning around. :p And yes, if you're wondering I also tie balloon animals…and I find juggling to be quite fun…:D Don't even get me started on juggling while unicycling….here's some pics of me uni. Don't judge me too hard!

:) ive always wanted to learn how to unicycle but ive looked around online and they're like $100+ and i dont want to spend more than $10 :p
Brain

yeah, that giraffe cost me $100 on ebay, and my new one, the red one, cost me $250, but its well worth it :D When we make our sweet uni video I'll post the URL up here, we are already sponsored by a tiny shirt making website….that his brother's friend owns:p

That looks like so much fun…. my friend had one of these and i used to ride it… its not that bad as long as you have good balance
Brain
2008-02-21 18:28:46
you dont even really need that, its mostly like riding a bike….with one wheel :p but once you get enough practice on a uni its no diff than a bike, I've taught my very….lets just say….ungraceful friends how to ride, and they can get like 20 ft without trying too hard, just takes time

WOW, i didn't realise you were that type of person you look mad riding those things and are you in a circus or just ride round like a carnie?
Brain
2008-02-22 13:17:55
lol, acutally i just brought my uni to the state fair, I wasnt makin anymoney, just kinda riding around and showing off :p and I'm not mad…it just takes more concentration to ride the giraffe, and those pics are all pretty old, so it was like the first week i was learning to ride the tall one

coo too

Really kl… but can you do this?

Brain
2008-02-24 13:50:09
I can do SOME of those things…but not as good as he can, I've seen that video like 1000 times! It's sooo cool, can't wait till I can do most of that stuff :D
and thanks for the mustache, but its not a permanent thing, just when ever I shave a beard off I do some crazy mustache for a say or two

I haven't gotten a chance to try a unicycle but I think I would love it… if I could learn to balance it. I have good balance and I am good at riding a bicycle (I do it tons, because I use a bike to get around most of the time). Unicycles= cool. :)
Brain

thanks space, its not too hard to learn to ride a uni, you just need lots of time and patience, it just takes a while to learn, but its worth it

Nice Wheels =d. Unicycling looks fun but i barely can walk a straight line, hence balance myself on a single wheel!

Bump
Dont bump, read the rules or some tutorials in the SRL forum guides. Bumbing is considered gravedigging and spam. This thread is 3 months old, please check the date of the last post. Don't worry, now you know. I have a feeling you were once at the RS forums am I correct? (threads die fast there and bumping is encouraged by thread owners)
Omg, unicycling is so cool…Hehe, when your watching, I like my head the way it is :p

Instead of massive bump, do a massive pm?
Also, I wish i still had my official seal of welcomeness :( No one remembers it :(
Brain
2009-10-23 23:42:33
I remember the official seal of welcomness! You gave it to me once :p (this thread maybe?)
And holy crap dillbagz!? Long ass time no see! I've actually just kind of started to auto again after about 2 years of not autoing due to me paying for my own electricity and not wanting to pay to leave me comp on all the time.

I can do a little backwards, juggle while riding, up and down any number of stairs (longest set I could find was 46), jump down up to 4-5 stairs in a row
(see this video), I've tied balloon animals on it before, couple different mounting styles, spin the unicylcle and land on the pedals again, stalls.

I thought you were in your 30's when I was looking at the pics till the last one, I was like wow he's a lot older then I thought… just remembered now, you said your in college :duh: lol
but when I thought you were 30 in the pics, I was like wow he's older then I thought, but your unicycle is really tall, looks scary as hell to ride yours, it'd hurt a lot more to fall off that one lol.

I've only hit the ground twice from falling off my unicycles, I almost always catch myself with my feet. It's not that bad to ride, the hardest part is getting up on it, and then it has a horribly uncomfortable seat…
