Are you 45+
I was going to call this thread "-Are you 50+-”, but I thought it might be too lonely. Hey, there are threads for other ages, how about us more experienced at living? And the youngings (he-he) should know about us. I am 50 and started riding three months ago (well, I was a level one rider when I was 12 years old). I am hooked on the one-wheel and have almost completed level three (except for that stomach-on-the-seat drill). I can jump mount, suicide mount, ride down a few stairs (one-at-a-time), hop down a bunch of stairs (okay, also one-at-a-time). I am working on idling (which, at least for me, is more difficult than learning how to ride) and SIF (still a long way off). I have been lurking on this forum several times a week all summer (you folks, and youtube, taught me how to ride--thanks). I live in Utah which is epic for my other hobbies: rock climbing, telemark skiing, and snowboarding. I started with a no-name 20” freestyle at the beginning of the summer, bought a Torker 20” DX a few weeks later, and just received my KH 24” from aebike.com three days ago (call them for prices). How about you other riders with 45+ years of life experience? -- stevea ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stevea's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15485 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64739 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I saw a post asking about older riders (I can't seem to locate the thread now) and the reply was something like, "there is this one guy who claims to be older than 50" (and it pointed to one of your videos). Thanks for the motivation. -- stevea ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stevea's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15485 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64739 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Yep, 55. I can't ride like a kid but who cares.

There is a rather substantial group of us "mature" riders around here. Unicycling really gets in your blood.

I feel like the kid in the crowd. At 45 I'm still quite active, play hockey with 20+ year old not seniors, play baseball and hang glide. Have 2 young children 5 and 10. My unicycling skills still match the beginner category. But I can turn, hop, and go a fair distance. If I had other riders in my area perhaps my skills would improve. For now its self taught and self motivation to expand my skills.

I'm 45. Unicycled around the house as a kid unil about 15. Just bought a KH24 a couple of months ago. I ride trails and love it. Wish I could do some hopping tricks, but am afraid of hurting my allready damaged ankles. Also wanting the new Coker when it finally comes out........still waiting! My first passion is kiteboarding, big air, freestyle, and waveriding. i bought my fiance a LX 20", but it just sits in the garage. He is 54 and just doesn't have the drive to want to learn. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Attila one wheel.JPG | |Download: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/22671 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- Cynbad ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cynbad's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15050 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64739 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
