I'm don't think that's all that funny, just be careful what you say
especially on forums where it is hard to tell if someone is joking or
being sarcastic or is serious.

Take a little look at MY age and tell me there needs to be an age
restriction, how about a maturity restriction.

I'm sorry for being such a immature jerk I hope someday I'll be as
mature as you.

Back on topic then, sir.

At the trials comps I've been too (bike trials) the majority of the
spectators were didn't ride bike trials.

I think the easiest things to add for Olympic unicycling would be high
jump and long jump.

It looks good in the sense of "wow, that's amazing," but not in the
sense of "hey, I gotta get home, the unicycle trials world
championships are on!" Trials competitions are low and slow, with a
lot more errors than other sports people are accustomed to watching as
spectators.



I need to hurry home and watch the Olympic synchronized diving :-)

And the Trampoline.

Obviously "amazing" is not a prerequisite for Olympic events. I suppose
others are more amazed than me.

What turned me on to unicycling was seeing Kris Holm ride, street (One
Tired Guy) and offroad (Unizaba). I keep the previews of these videos
on my iPod to show people what unicyclists can do.

If the trials were done in confined course like the Dan Heaton/Zach
Baldwin competition (on that silly TV show whose name I can't recall),
I think it would be pretty compelling. I'm obviously biased, though.

But I still think the olympics should only be "warrior" sports, like
swimming, running, fighting, javelin.


in that case we can only be represented with unicycle sumo
