    Anyone up for one wheel?! UNICYCLING!!

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

    yeah, that giraffe cost me $100 on ebay, and my new one, the red one, cost me $250, but its well worth it 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

    you dont even really need that, its mostly like riding a bike....with one wheel 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

    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
    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.

    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
