it in like an hour. but anyways, please let me know if you can ride

How do you keep going on an impossible wheel. I've only seen people
mount it by rolling it and jumping on. But they've all been in a room so
they never had to go all the way down a street.

is it as easy to hurt yourself as it looks? i mean, what happens when
you fall? you run out of it, or you sprain an ankle and die a slow
painful death?

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Well, if you're not lucky the wheel shoots out in front of you and you
land (very quickly) flat on your tailbone and flat on your back. If
you're lucky after that you're only nursing a sore tailbone for the next
week. And that's if you're lucky. I've seen it happen. Ouch!

you say that it is too dangerous, but isnt what you do on a unicycle
also dangerous?

to the rest of you who wonder how dangerous it is: it isnt that
dangerous as long as you either know how to roll out of a fall, or can
sense when you are falling, and jump off and run with it. and I start
off on a hill, and just mount like you would a unicycle. after that, its
pretty easy to maintain balance.
