Default LITTLE PUNKS or Good Citizen


For almost two years, I have tolerated several kids riding unicycles on
our property. I have children of my own and understand the need to
keep kids off dangerous streets. Recently we've noticed property
damage to our handrails and planter beds. Our new signs apparently are
being ignored. Our research indicates this website be the primary
chat-room for unicyclists. So we want you to hear us out carefully.

A 'Good Citizen' is one who respects the property of others and does
what they can to follow posted directives.

A 'Little Punk' is one who has no regard for private property and may
even take pleasure in destruction behaviour.

We've watched several of your videos and read of your experiences with
authority. The prevailing theme is that many of your members are just
LITTLE PUNKS on unicycles. The damage they cause is, in my opinion,
greater that skateboards and bmx. Every sort of public and private
property is being utilized for jumping, digging pedals into and
scraping.

If this behaviour continues, your community will certainly be regarded
by the actions of your LITTLE PUNK members. We do not mean to insult
anyone or the GOOD CITIZENS on your website. As for our property, we
now have security cameras and also have the option to use footage from
this site to encourage 'corrective action' from an 'authoritative
standpoint'. Get the drift...

People that are unicycling on your property (I'm assuming it's a school
or other public building) aren't thinking "hey, a bench! I can scrape
that up!". More than likely, they're trying to improve their skills by
hopping onto it. I don't see how a single tire can cause more damage
than either a skateboard or a bmx bike.

unicycles can't make skid marks.
the only thing that might cause visible damage (scratches) would be
metal-pinned pedals.

Have you spoken with these LITTLE PUNKS, and explained to them that you
don't want to pay to replace the planter beds or handrails (which, by
the way, what difference does it make if they're scratched? does it
affect their performance?)

Most, if not everybody on these forums, would completely understand if
you asked them to stay out of your plants. There are skatparks for
these types of activities, but, sadly, unicycling is not accepted as as
much of a sport as either bmx'ing or skateboarding.

I don't know of any intentionally rebellious unicyclists, but, then
again, I've never met any other unicyclists in person.

Why don't you go "pedal" your hot air someplace else! If you *really*
want to make a positive contribution to society, go help stop REAL
crime, like drug dealing, gang viloence and a MILLION other things that
matter, rather than hassleing those who are just having clean fun! Btw,
what's your address so we can all go riding our unis on your property!

Those are big words for 16 year old.

Our claim shall be property damage and our evidence shall be supported

reimburse our firm for the damage.

My gut feeling is that "Frank" is an alias for one of our regular
posters. I'm not sure there are many people out there that would try to
solve a local property destruction issue by going to an international
website. Although, it should bring about some interesting comments.

Wow, this guy is realling getting a bad impression from us.

Soon we're going to be, not unicyclists, but "unithugs".

If you really want to make a difference, as Terry suggested, try
talking to your city counsel about having a park constructed where
unicyclists can hop from bench to table, ride down skinnies, and grind
rails- in otherwords, a trials/obstacle course.


EDIT: So you're going to have these young unicyclists (LITTLE PUNKS)
pay for a plant bed and a handrail? have the scratches on the handrail
caused people to fall down the stairs? What sort of damage was done to
the plant bed? I say, if it's something that can be fixed with some
elbow grease, have the kids, sorry, PUNKS, fix it.

Still, you're the only person I've ever seen take something as harmless
as unicycling and complain about it all over a forum.

And what does 'TYUASIUYFA' stand for?

I dont think that (the stfu) was directed at you (since it was quoted
at drumscorpfan). not sure though.

Before you contact authorites, have you asked the PUNK unicyclers to
leave, or explain to them what you do not like about their behavoir?

Why come and bitch on this site when everybody on this forum is probably
100 miles from where you are? It make ABSOLUTELY NO F-ING SENCE!. Go
talk to the little rascals and tell them not to do it anymore. If this
does not work, call the cops. But do not come here to complain about
this. . Unicyclist do not make too much damage. There may be
a few rubber mark here and there, and an occasional skuff, it is not
worth getting sand in you vagina.
