View Full Version : My Ride At School

For my structured writing class we had to do a how to brochure and so I
obviously choose unicycling, which meant I could bring my unicycle into
school today. I brought my Nimbus Trials, which I had also brought
last semester and every thing went well then so I figured I wouldn’t
have to worry about any problems. When I got to school I went to
biology to hang out for a while before math and a bunch of people I
know asked why I had a unicycle and I asked them why the didn’t.
Whenever someone asked to try I let them because I knew that they
couldn’t do it so they might was well try and have some fun. When I
got to math class people were glad to see that I brought the uni again
but after class was over I was standing in the hall talking to a friend
when this teacher told me that I wasn’t suppose to have “those” in
school and I said it was for a project and then she responded with an
“oh” and I walked away. In my writing class my presentation went
really good, I tired to idle when telling the information but I didn’t
have a lot of space so I just stood there after I upd. The best part
was when my teacher tried to unicycle, she didn’t really go far but she
still got the experience and it was funny watching her. I had lunch
next which was the best time to show off my skills. During lunch I had
it under my table and several girls asked who’s unicycle that was and
they were impressed and so after that I headed out to the courtyard
where a bunch of people where. Last time I brought the unicycle to
school everyone was watching me but I didn’t ride out in the open a lot
because I thought the police officers might get ****ed off at me but
this time I saw that there was only one officer and I knew she was
really nice and didn’t really care. The majority of people who wanted
to try my unicycle where black girls, which I didn’t expect and I let
they try because there wasn’t any harm in it. I started to ride around
and everyone started looking at me so I did some tricks like wheel
walking, seat out in front, and riding backwards. In the middle or the
courtyard there’s this manhole cover that’s like a dome and comes out
of the ground. I tried to rolling hop over it but the first two times
I had the cranks in the wrong position so I kind of just flew off it
but the third time I made it and everyone was clapping and stuff. I
was about to do some more things like suicide mount but then the bell
rang so I headed off to biology. After biology I went to gym and I
asked my teacher if I could put something in his room. He expected
something small but was surprised when he looked up and saw that it was
a unicycle, and so I told him that I would show him some tricks after
class. After class in a skinny hallway I did some stuff that did
previously like seat in back, wheel walking, and one footed with a
large on looking crowd. After the bell rang I was going to the
courtyard again and some people asked to try it and this one guy must
have learned a while ago because he was able to go for a while and turn
around but had to start off at a wall. This girl and her friends asked
me to ride which I did and they were all amazed and she said thanks and
that it made her day and this other guy said he hadn’t ridden since he
was 6 but my seat was to high so he couldn’t do it. Over all I had
probably 11 or people try it and I came to these conclusions:
1) *Unicyclists really are girl magnets*
2) *Unicycles will make you cooler.*

Sounds fun, and also it sounds like you were a good ambassador for the
sport.

As you referred to structured writing, might I make so bold as to
suggest the occasional paragraph? It makes reading so much easier. If
you put a lot of effort into writing something, you want to know people
will enjoy reading it.

In normal writing, paragraphs can be shown by indenting the first word
of the first line of the new paragraph. However, for writing on
screen, it helps to separate the paragraphs with a space, like I have
done in this post. Use a new paragraph for each new idea.

Let's have some more of these stories of how much we enjoy our sport.

That was a good story, I have brought my uni to school twice for
projects. One time my friend tried to ride and he UPDed right away and
fell into a pile of backpacks and cut his leg open. He got blood all
over his sock but it was really funny.

The supervisor people at my school are really uptight and they wouldn't
let me carry it around. I brought it for my video production class last
year and of course I was dressed as a clown for our movie and we were
filming outside and they tried to take me to the office for having the
uni but I talked them out of it because we were filming. I would never
walk all the way across campus and sit in the office wearing a clown
suit.

Oh and when I brought it for an English project I left it in there all
day and I heard from friends in other periods that my teacher was
trying to ride it, I don't think he mastered the "sitting on it" part
yet and nut himself.:)

did you get any phone numbers out of the whole thing? I took my uni to
school once for a presentation about myself, but I kept it in a bag all
day. I don't like too much attention.

1.) Girl magnets erase the magnetic strips on your credit card. Stay
away from them.

2.) You are already cooler. Unicycles just allow other people to make
that realization.
