America's Got Talent Looking for Unicyclists
I don't have an "act" really at all, since I don't do tricks per se, and so I don't know what I could do (in the studio) other than drops, gaps, hop up stairs and roll hop off a set--if they even have that kind of stuff readily available. I mentioned all this to the guy from AGT, but he said he watched some of my videos, and that together with me being a lot "older" than most who ride the more extreme forms of unicycling, that I should definitely audition. Maybe they could set up some kind of a "trials" obstacle course for me. It probably wouldn't need to be too elaborate. I'll give it my best shot. -- MuniAddict ::'UniGeezer.com' (http://unigeezer.com) '' (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/member.php?u=12920):: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MuniAddict's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12920 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75376 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

America's Got Talent Looking for Unicyclists
I think the real problem with all those mainstream sports is the posers. Unicycling, being hard to learn, will attract no posers. -- EliB -Eli Brill **TEAM INSANITY FLATLAND** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EliB's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17639 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75376 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I'm going to kick someone in the eyeball if a unicyclist gets sponsored by Nike or Coke or something. It would be a really good thing if a unicyclist got sponsored by a big shoe company or something like that. I would like it if everyone was already exposed to unicycling so then they maybe they wouldn't always think its amazing. But anyway, I'm probably going to audition with Cody. I think we could put something cool together. -- Spencer Hochberg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spencer Hochberg's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12659 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75376 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

America's Got Talent Looking for Unicyclists
My main problem with big sponsorships is that in my not so humble opinion, they make unicycling sell-out. I'm not saying that it makes unicycling less fun or anything. I just have a loathing for big companies and I would be saddened to see unicycling get caught up in that stuff. -- Goats_On_Unicycles -So hot!

In other words, should size be a reason to dislike a company? There are good companies that are big. What do you have against Lego, for instance? That's the most trusted brand in the world, supposedly. And should I warn Dan Heaton to watch out for you? -- johnfoss John Foss Email: "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com ----------------------------------------------- "False facts are frequently formed from figures fabricated from fear fired fiction." -- Harper ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75376 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

America's Got Talent Looking for Unicyclists
I'm not sure what to think about Dan and Shaun. I'm really happy that they could get the sponsorships and those are gonna really help them out finacially. But, I really hate how sports become one huge commercial. It's obscene. A company gets big when it starts to leach off of it's employees and such... haha, I'm in a good mood and I don't want to talk about corrupt business executives. But just for the record, I don't think sponsorships work. Just cause Dan Heaton wear Columbia now, I'm not gonna start buying their gear. It's still a silly, over-priced sportswear company to me. I'm fine with my four year old windbreaker I got at Goodwill. -- Goats_On_Unicycles -So hot!
