America's Got Talent Looking for Unicyclists
As much as I hate to say it, unicycling will -not- win. The pogo sticker did not make it through the round because they thought it was a cool, potentially successful sport, but they were looking for the next David Blane or Sinatra. I just think it will be good publicity for the sport. -- beeper ')-Crankflip-'O,' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZgdzTx7qEg) 'SixSixOne' (SixSixOne.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ beeper's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15159 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75376 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

And the sword-swallower didn't make it past the first round because the judges didn't know "if America is ready for this". Or was that the contortionist? Both acts that have been around for thousands of years. Too bad the show doesn't have judges who know anything about variety acts. A unicyclist did make it to the top ten in the first season. He just wasn't using unicycling in his performances. That was Johnny Lone-Star, the trick roping, gun-twirling bottle-tossing guy. Teresa and Sem also auditioned in the first season, but chose to start with an acro act and save the unicycling for later, which was probably a mistake. -- 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 |

Maybe it will want to try unicycling. -- Ergolicious aka Ergo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ergolicious's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17939 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75376 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

YouTube - America's got flybar talent I think that a unicyclist will get the same response, although unicycling is obviously superior to pogostick haha. -- beeper ')-Crankflip-'O,' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZgdzTx7qEg) 'SixSixOne' (SixSixOne.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ beeper's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15159 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
They've had unicyclists on the show in the past. Mostly YMCA kind of troops one that did some basketball stuff and the other I don't exactly remember. The thing is the show wants variety show acts than sports demonstrations. An impressive freestyle pair or the kind of stuff that Leo does, or the unicycle boy (if he's still around) would have a better chance of advancing in the program than someone showing off street or flatland skills. It's that age old divide between sports unicycling and performance unicycling. -- ThisGuyIKnow ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThisGuyIKnow's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10203 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75376 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I always used him as an example that It would be very hard to do with my sport, cause im not doing big dancing coreographed (SP?) shows. I replied to the email, and funny enough he advised that Spencer and myself do a routine together. -- Unicaw89 0 9 T o r k e r f o r p r e s i d e n t !

Go Spencer! A tip: Do impressive stuff... not tech! They can't say the difference between a 360 and a treyflip... And fast spins are always impressive!
