Casual Unicycling is so horrible that if you attempt it you might as well worship the devil

I know someone who can fire-twirl, and is learing to unicycle, with her eventual goal being the ability to do both simultaneously. I don't think she's the casual kind.

What exactly is meant by the above statement I may never know.

One time my brother stole $5 from his son, my nephew, and would only give it back if he learned how to ride a unicycle a certain distance. My brother is like 35 now or something. That is a very cruel thing to do.

It takes mucho energy to learn to ride a bicycle. It is even harder to learn to ride a unicycle, because you can't stop and sit still on it like a bicycle. Let alone to find and purchase one. Therefore, the world does not know a casual unicycler.

If I met a unicycler, I would want to make friends with them.

well my Aunt got a unicycle at a yard sale and so now I want to learn to ride it

I'm told the best way to learn is w/poles that act like training wheels

My dad once told me of a private school where everybody had to ride the unicycle everywhere, even up and down stairs. The teachers even needed to ride them around.

Our band directer says that practice makes habits and only perfect practece makes perfect. If you practice inncorectly, how will you get good? I don't think that this applies to unicycles though....

If you practice the wrong way on a unicycle, you will not ride the perfect way. You will ride the wrong way.

You might fall. You might die. You might end up on the Los Angeles Freeway with the setting sun burning your eyeballs blind. But life is all about taking risks.

I thought life was all about taking chances
risks and chances are sort of the same but the word chance sounds better in that sentence
