I haaaaaaaaaaaaate it when people say that.......

Well.. I can understand why someone would say that if you were on a
giraffe or something, but when your riding just like a normal sized
unicycle it sucks

Well when i sometimes ride my friends 7ft giraffe people......
*1*) Look and ask how i ride it, i tell them it's easier then it looks.


or if

*2*) Try to make fun of me. I give one giant stare that looks like i'm
crushing their soul from within and they turn around and run.

doesn't work, then i roll my eyes back and starting going demonic on
them.


Option 2 sounds much more fun

Yeah, i have just started to juggle too and my dad always jokes about me
going to join the circus.
I get it a bit when people first find out i unicycle too - although
once they actually see me do small hops and that they soon shut up

im pretty sure everyone gets this all the time so ive found the easiest
way to answer these questions is with real simple, no failing easy
tricks like foot drop
or hopping up a few stairs

It unfortunately happens all the time. I get it a lot when I am out
juggling, and obviously when Unicycling. This is because people
associate unicycling and juggling with the circus.

It's going to happen, just deal with it. I find the best thing to say
is. "Yes". People don't seem to be interested in long explanations on
that it's fun, or it's good exercise, etc... Just say "Yes" and move
on, because that's what they actually want to hear.

Sorry, you would expect a little old lady to know of the imergence of
what is a tiny fringe sport?
