Unicycling Article about Me!

[UniTyler]

Here's an article my friend's mom wrote. I am guilty of bribe, though -
I wrote my e-mail address on a dollar bill for my friend to give his
mom. :)

That was a really nice article. There are only two problems. 1 that it
needed to be a picture of you on the column ;) and 2 that they said
unicyclists.com not unicyclist.com

But o well it was a great article and I enjoyed reading it. Keep up the
good work.

Gak, I corrected her on her paper when she wrote unicyclists.com, but
she must have ignored the scratch out mark. :confused:

She also put I've gone on several distance rides with SARS, but I've
only gone on one.

Hmmm. 'Check it out' (http://unicyclists.com/). I guess if I ever
wanted to be a "Uni Cyclist," I would go there.

Nice article, Tyler. Next time make sure the columnist has the camera
pointed at you, not herself. What's up with that? E-mail me the full
resolution scanned version and I will put it in my gallery with the
other 'articles about local riders.' (http://tinyurl.com/e36ux) Send it

[tomblackwood]

Nice article Tyler! You represented unicyling well, and managed to
mention the SARs (uhh, does that formalize the acronym?) in the
process. You neglected to mention that you owe us money.

Just a thought: while riding the STP is an admirable and lofty goal for
any rider, there are better ways to spend your adolescence. You should
really have a discussion with Bruce before you commit. It's not like
the sub-20 mile rides with the SARs. You will train for months at the
exclusion of family and friends. You don't bring a bottle of Bawls
along. You learn about nutrition and hydration at the cellular level.
And then--for two days of hell--you will wake up very very early, do
NOTHING but pedal and eat, pedal and eat, at the same time, WITHOUT
REST, for 10-12 hours straight, only to collapse into a few hours of
muscle-cramped sleep before getting up to do it again. Man, you could
be hanging out with a GIRL instead of doing that! It's better, trust
me!

While admitedly I have a vested interest here, I'd recommend you
consider starting your distance-riding career with the MS-150 rather
than the STP. The training is a bit easier (not much), the ride is
definitely easier at 50-75 miles per day, and you have the opportunity
(responsibility) to raise funds for the fight against Multiple
Sclerosis. Do for yourself while doing for many others. Plus the ride
is closer to your home, and you'll have at least one person to train
and ride with. I don't think there will be any SARs riding the STP
next year. Bruce was the only one of us "smart" enough to do it this
year, and I don't think he's planning it again, at least on one wheel.

End of Tom's mini-sermon :).

I'm interested to know what parts you censured out? What did you say
you don't want the forum to know? :)

Great article, Tyler. It only costs a dollar to appear in the
newspaper? Where's my wallet......

I did find this statement interesting, "These require 'big wheels' that
make a turn of the wheel for every turn of the crank." Other than the
handfull of geared uni's around, every direct-drive unicycle no matter
the size will make one wheel revolution with one crank revolution.

Nice representation of the sport, though. Articles like that permit
the unknowing public to take a step closer to knowing.

Maestro, are you saying if the article had been about you, you wouldn't
have mentioned it here?

Congratulations Tyler. That writer's description of you as a motormouth
is just how I pictured you. :D

I don't think I would have titled my thread 'Unicycling Article about
Me!'.

And in fact, I didn't :)

I think he's just commenting on the fact that tyler often looks like
he's fishing for compliments, or bragging, regardless of whether he's
intentionally doing it or not.

HE'S A KID!!!!

Most kids see how far they can ram their fingers up their noses for
attention. This kid is doing something interesting, progressive, and
difficult, and he's kicking most of our asses at it too. I find it
amazing that grown men think it's acceptable to belittle a kid that
isn't doing anything wrong. Sure, he's a zealous KID, but i'm betting
that you're all smart enough to filter the zealous out of his comments
if you don't like it. The kid is having a blast, and in today's world
of forcing kids to be adults, i'm damn proud of him for being able to
stay a kid and enjoy life. Wouldn't you want the same for your kid? I
sure would.

On a side note, anyone want to have a contest to see how far we can ram
our fingers up our noses? Let's see videos, folks!

Glad to see you are now thinking of the danger of posting that kind of
thing!

Congrads again on the article, unicycling needs all the press it can
get!
