unicycling-a future sport?

As much as I like unicycling, I don't want to see it reach those levels

Years ago, when riding a motorcycle, you felt part of a brotherhood,
and waved to other bikers on the road. Now, your damn arm would fall
off if you tried to wave to all the bikes on the road, and most would
snub you anyway. The brotherhood was lost in the large increase in
numbers without the knowledge of the culture. The weekend warriors
just "bought" their way into the hobby.

I enjoy being the only (or one of the few) in this area on a unicycle.
Let's keep our culture and brotherhood within our ranks and to those we
invite in.


This is so true, it would also define the meaning of *UNI*cycle

When you say distance riding, do you mean commuting as in having a
coker??

Let's be realistic here; unicycling just isn't that impressive to watch.
We will never have anything like the half-pipe that drives the
spectator popularity of skateboarding, or the dirt jumps that drive the
popularity of BMX. For us, big air is an 8-set; that doesn't play on
ESPN2.

We also have huge barriers to entry compared to skateboarding and BMX.
You can start doing BMX jumps and tricks almost immediately, and
skateboarding isn't much harder to pick up.

The most unicycling can aspire to as a revenue sport is to be as big
as, say, flatland BMX. And even that, I think is unlikely.

Ride because it's fun!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
i totally agree with this dude

i would like it to get big. just so that i wouldnt feel so....alone in
the sport. i would just like to meet someone serious enough to ride
with me. and talk about just riding, and pulling off an awesome new
trick. now when i feel like telling people about riding my uni, people
dont care. because it just doesnt interest like it does to me.

but i also would like to keep it sort of private. because like others
said, a lot of the fun of riding is being unique. i dont think i would
ride as much if everyone did it.
