yeah i agree with unibob cause if it was like skateboarding the public
wouldnt be thinking 'Hey look that kids on a unicycle and he is doing
extreme tricks on it'.Instead they will be thinking '......just another
unicyclist' which is what most people think about skateboarding

Yup, same. And unfortunately there's still arse holes who like to make
fun of unicyclists. Most attention I get is usually because people
think it's kool, or are interested in what I do though. But it can be
annoying. I guess it'll never be too normal partly because it takes a
while to learn to ride a unicycle.

When I used to skate people would make fun of me and look down on me
just because I skated. When you skate most people lable you as a
trouble maker. When you uni people think it's really cool. Even the
people that tell you to get off their property. People treat you with a
lot more respect on a uni. Oh... and please reconsider the DVD Shaun. I
would galdly pay $10-$15 for it.

Being new and eager to learn, I would buy it. But since you changed your
mind, the point is moot.

Though I probably wouldn't buy it, (as I don't think there would be much
in there that I didn't know)

I do think a tutorial DVD would be a good idea. That's the type of
footage that is worth paying for, and I feel that selling tutorials is
justifiable and right.

This is because normal videos are just fun, and people will get a kick
out of watching them, but are unlikely to really benefit from them.

But tutorials, on the other hand, aren't half as fun to make, but are
twice as helpful to the riders watching them.

I can tell you that although I would keep making videos if I weren't
paid, I would not make many tutorials if I would not get something out
of it because they ARE just to much work, without half as much fun.

Well, if it bothers you so much just be very anti-social and tell
everybody to stuff it. Why the hell would you want unicycling to be
normal? Why do you find it sad? Normal is this case seems to be
referring to our sport not selling out yet and marketing it as 'cool',
'trendy' or 'popular'. We don't need marketing schemes to grow and be
successful. I think it's sad you want something to be 'normal'.

I'm not the kind of lad who talks to random people and strikes up
conversations, but I have no problems with people giving me a thumbs up
or showing interest in what I do. I kind of like it. Sure it's annoying
when you go some place and get swarmed, but isn't that interest and
buzz that will let this sport grow? It's obvious to me from the
reactions I get weekly we don't need to market uni to all the little
kiddies so they will get their parents to buy them one and let it sit
in the corner, there is enough genuine interest in what we do with the
public.

I know of about five people who have gone and bought and learned how to
ride unicycles after seeing and talking to me. And loads more people
take an interest. Surely there is no need for any marketing. I quite
like being able to do something different anyway.
